Power amplifier package survives Martian duties
One of StratEdge's SE20 power amplifier packages is playing a key role in transmitting signals with information gathered from Mars Exploration Rovers Spirit and Opportunity back to earth.
They can be mounted on the board in drop-in or surface mount configurations.
StratEdge's G2420M-1 is a glass/ceramic walled package with a 0.205 x 0.245 inch (5.21mm x 6.22mm) body and a cavity of 0.105 x 0.145 inch (2.67 x 3.68mm).
It comes with an ASTM F-15 alloy base for up to 0.5 Watt devices and it can be supplied with a copper composite insert or base for higher power devices.
The package is constructed using a glass-to-metal seal process, resulting in a rugged and reliable package.
The MIL-STD-883 hermetic seal provides enhanced reliability for the semiconductor device and offers protection from the environment.
StratEdge provides assembly services to package semiconductor devices.
The assembly process includes eutectic or epoxy die attach and passive component attach with automatic wire bonding.
Further assembly services include lidding, lead trimming, labeling, and bulk packaging.
An HP 8510C network analyser is available for small signal electrical testing.
The packages are lead-free and meet Requirement on Hazardous Substances (RoHS) and Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) compliance.
Typical pricing is $5.24 for quantities of 10,000.
ASTM F-15 alloy lids with AuSn preforms can also be provided.
Lead time is stock to eight weeks.
