Stanford Microdevices’ SHF-0289 series is a high performance
GaAs Heterostructure FET housed in a low-cost surface-mount
plastic package. HFET technology improves breakdown voltage
while minimizing Schottky leakage current for higher power added
efficiency and improved linearity.
Output power at 1dB compression for the SHF-0289 is +30dBm
when biased for Class AB operation at 8V and 250mA. The
+46 dBm third order intercept makes it ideal for high dynamic
range, high intercept point requirements. They are well suited
for use in both analog and digital wireless communication
infrastructure and subscriber equipment including cellular PCS,
CDPD, wireless data, and pagers.
Adequate heat sinking must be provided for this part to avoid
exceeding the maximum junction temperature. Methods include
the use of screws near the device, and filled vias beneath the
part to the ground plane. Refer to “Mounting and Thermal
Considerations” section on page 7 for more information.
