This bias controller provides industry leading
gate voltage and pulsed drain voltage biasing for any device under
test.
M/A-COM Technology Solutions Holdings Inc. (“MACOM”), a leading
supplier of high performance RF, microwave, millimeterwave and
photonic semiconductor products, today announced a GaN bias
controller and sequencer for fixed and pulsed negative gate
biasing. The MABC-001000-DP000L module provides proper gate voltage
and pulsed drain voltage biasing for a device under test (DUT). The
module also provides bias sequencing, ensuring that the pulsed
drain voltage cannot be applied to a device under test unless the
negative gate bias voltage is present.

offers protection and dynamic control of all MACOM High-Power
transistors including MACOM’s broad GaN portfolio. The solution
consists of two functional elements arranged vertically on the
customers’ board to conserve size, weight and cost. (Photo:

The Bias Controller module solution offers protection and
dynamic control of all MACOM High-Power transistors including
MACOM’s broad GaN portfolio. The solution consists of two
functional elements arranged vertically on the customers’ board to
conserve size, weight and cost.
The first functional element referred to as Module 1 is
patterned and populated directly onto the customer board. The
second functional element, referred to as Module 2, uses the land
pattern of Module 1 and interconnects vertically through Module 1.
The primary function of Module 1 is drain switching, while the main
function of Module 2 is to provide the customer with easy gate
switching.
The device is capable of robust GaN protection at any power
up/power down sequence and has a target total switch transition
time of ≤ 500 ns. It features an open drain output current of ≤ 200
mA for an external MOSFET switch drive, gate bias output current of
≤ 50 mA for heavy RF compression, and an internal thermistor or
external temperature sensor voltage for Gate Bias Sum. The
recommended approach is to utilize both module functions. The
overall MABC-001000-000DPM can be co-located in heavy EMI/RFI
environments with little or no extra filtering. Additional features
include optional remote temperature sensing and temperature, fast
Gate Switching, Remote Gate Adjust, and Buffered Multi-Gate
Bias.
With 30dB typical EMI/RFI Rejection at all I/O ports, the
MABC-001000-DP000L is RoHS compliant and 260° reflow
compatible.
“The MABC-001000-DP000L is ideal for a DUT such as
depletion-mode GaN or GaAs power amplifiers, or HEMT devices,” said
Gary Lopes, Senior Product Director. “In addition to these key
applications, this device can be used for high power transistors
including LDMOS, Si Bipolar and more.”
The MABC-001000-DP000L module can also be installed onto an
MABC-001000-PB1PPR evaluation board for evaluation, test, and
characterization purposes.
