API Delevan 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 heat sink or a thermal management system.
The CM6460-104 requires a specific biasing scheme to achieve optimal linearity and gain. API Delevan recommends using a voltage-controlled current source to set the bias current, and a resistive divider network to set the bias voltage.
The CM6460-104 can handle up to 20W of input power, but this may vary depending on the specific application and operating conditions. It's recommended to consult with API Delevan's application engineers to determine the maximum power handling capability for a specific design.
API Delevan recommends checking the PCB layout for any parasitic inductances or capacitances that may cause oscillation. Ensure that the device is properly biased and that the input and output impedances are matched. If issues persist, consult API Delevan's application notes and technical support resources.
Yes, the CM6460-104 is a sensitive device and requires proper ESD protection during handling and assembly. API Delevan recommends using ESD-safe materials, wrist straps, and workstations to prevent damage from static electricity.
