MACOM recommends a 4-layer PCB with a solid ground plane, and thermal vias under the device to dissipate heat. A thermal pad on the bottom of the device should be connected to a thermal management system, such as a heat sink or thermal interface material.
MACOM recommends using a 50-ohm microstrip transmission line for impedance matching. The device's input and output impedances should be matched to the system's impedance using a pi-network or a T-network topology.
The 2090-6304-00 is rated for operation from -40°C to +85°C. However, derating may be necessary for high-power applications or extreme environmental conditions.
MACOM recommends using ESD protection devices, such as diodes or resistors, on the input and output lines to prevent damage from electrostatic discharge. Handling the device with ESD-safe materials and following proper handling procedures is also essential.
MACOM recommends using a reflow soldering process with a peak temperature of 260°C for 10-15 seconds. The device should be handled with care to avoid mechanical stress and thermal shock.
