SBP-6637832016-1212-EC

Rev. 1.4

Description:
Model SBP-6637832016-1212-EC is a power amplifier with atypical small signal gain of 35 dB and a nominal P1dB of +19 dBm
across the frequency range of 66 to 78 GHz. The amplifier has atypical Psat of +22 dBm, which can be attenuated up to 10 dB
using a control voltage of 0 to +5 VDC. The DC power requirement
for the amplifier is +8 VDC/550 mA. The mechanical configuration
offers an in line structure with WR-12 waveguides and UG-387/U
anti-cocking flanges. Other port configurations are also available under different model numbers.

Other mechanical configurations are available under different model numbers.

Caution:••••••Exceeding absolute maximum ratings shown will damage the device.
The device is static sensitive. Always follow ESD rules when working with the device.
The case temperature of the device shall never exceed +50 ˚C. Use proper heatsink or fan ifnecessary.
Any foreign objects in the waveguide will cause performance degradation and may damage thedevice.
Proper bias sequence must be followed. Otherwise, damage may occur to the device(s). The
recommended instructions below are for model SBP-6637832016-1212-EC.
1) Connect ground.
2) Apply 8V to +V pin.
3) Slowly increase drain bias CTRL to a value between 0V and 5V.
4) Apply the RF signal.
Proper power down sequence must be followed. Otherwise, damage may occur to thedevice(s). The recommended instructions below are for model SBP-6637832016-1212-EC.
1) Turn off RF signal.
2) Decrease drain voltage to CTRL to 0V.
3) Decrease +V to 0V.
