HMC8120
FEATURES
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
Gain: 22 dB typical
The HMC8120 is an integrated E-band, gallium arsenide (GaAs),
pseudomorphic (pHEMT), monolithic microwave integrated
circuit (MMIC), variable gain amplifier and/or driver amplifier
that operates from 71 GHz to 76 GHz. The HMC8120 provides up
to 22 dB of gain, 21 dBm of output P1dB, 30 dBm of OIP3, and
22 dBm of PSAT while requiring only 250 mA from a 4 V power
supply. Two gain control voltages (VCTL1 and VCTL2) are provided
to allow up to 15 dB of variable gain control. The HMC8120
exhibits excellent linearity and is optimized for E-band
communications and high capacity wireless backhaul radio
systems. All data is taken with the chip in a 50 Ω test fixture
connected via a 3 mil wide × 0.5 mil thick × 7 mil long ribbon
on each port.
Wide gain control range: 15 dB typical
Output third-order intercept (OIP3): 30 dBm typical
Output power for 1 dB compression (P1dB): 21 dBm typical
Saturated output power (PSAT): 22 dBm typical
DC supply: 4 V at 250 mA
No external matching required
Die size: 3.599 mm × 1.369 mm × 0.05 mm
APPLICATIONS
E-band communication systems
High capacity wireless backhaul radio systems

Data Sheet
THEORY OF OPERATION
The circuit architecture of the HMC8120 variable gain amplifier
is shown in Figure 37. The HMC8120 uses multiple gain stages
and staggered voltage variable attenuation stages to form a low
noise, high linearity variable gain amplifier with a gain range of
~15 dB. The first stage is a low noise preamp, which is followed
by the first voltage variable attenuator in the signal path. A
portion of the signal is coupled away and further amplified
before driving an on-chip envelope detector. The envelope
detector provides an output that is proportional to the peak
envelope power of the incoming signal. After the first
attenuator, a second stage amplifier provides additional gain
and isolation before driving the second variable attenuator
block. Three cascaded gain stages follow the second variable
attenuator. At the output of the last stage, another coupler taps
off a small portion of the output signal. The coupled signal is
presented to an on-chip diode detector for external monitoring
of the output power. A matched reference diode is included to
help correct for detector temperature dependencies. See the
application circuit in Figure 38 for further details on biasing the
different blocks and utilizing the detector features.

HMC8120
TYPICAL APPLICATION CIRCUIT
A typical application circuit for the HMC8120 is provided in
Figure 38. For typical operation, drive the attenuator control
pads from a single control voltage. It is important to bypass all
the supply connections and attenuator control pads with adequate
bypassing capacitors. Use single-layer chip capacitors with very
high self-resonant frequency close to the HMC8120 die, bypassing
each supply or control pad. Typically, 120 pF chip capacitors are
used, followed by 0.01 μF and 4.7 μF surface-mount capacitors.
Combine supply lines as shown in the application circuit schematic
to minimize external component count and simplify power
supply routing (see Figure 38). Pad 25 and Pad 26 are internally
connected. Therefore, use either pad to connect the external
The HMC8120 uses several amplifier, detector, and attenuator
stages. All stages use depletion mode pHEMT transistors. It is
important to follow the following power-up bias sequence to
ensure transistor damage does not occur.
1. Apply a −5 V bias to the VCTL1 and VCTL2 pads.
2. Apply a −2 V bias to the VGG3 to VGG6 and VGG1/VGG2 pads.
3. Apply 4 V to the VDD1 to VDD6 pads.
4. Adjust VGG1/VGG2 and VGG3 to VGG6 between −2 V and 0 V
to achieve a total amplifier drain current of 250 mA.
After bias is established, adjust the VCTL1 = VCTL2 bias between
−5 V and 0 V to achieve the desired gain.

To power down the HMC8120, follow the reverse procedure.

MOUNTING AND BONDING TECHNIQUES FOR MILLIMETERWAVE GaAs MMICS
Attach the die directly to the ground plane eutectically or with
conductive epoxy.
Transients
Suppress instrument and bias supply transients while bias is
applied. To minimize inductive pickup, use shielded signal and
bias cables.
To bring RF to and from the chip, use 50 Ω microstrip trans-
mission lines on 0.127 mm (5 mil) thick alumina thin film
substrates (see Figure 40).
General Handling
Handle the chip on the edges only using a vacuum collet or with
a sharp pair of bent tweezers. Because the surface of the chip
has fragile air bridges, never touch the surface of the chip with
a vacuum collet, tweezers, or fingers.
0.05mm (0.002") THICK GaAs MMIC
RIBBON BOND
0.076mm
(0.003")
MOUNTING
The chip is back metallized and can be die mounted with gold/tin
(AuSn) eutectic preforms or with electrically conductive epoxy.
The mounting surface must be clean and flat.
RF GROUND PLANE
Eutectic Die Attach
0.127mm (0.005") THICK ALUMINA
THIN FILM SUBSTRATE
It is best to use an 80% gold/20% tin preform with a work surface
temperature of 255°C and a tool temperature of 265°C. When
hot 90% nitrogen/10% hydrogen gas is applied, maintain tool
tip temperature at 290°C. Do not expose the chip to a temperature
greater than 320°C for more than 20 sec. No more than 3 sec of
scrubbing is required for attachment.
Figure 40. Routing RF Signals
To minimize bond wire length, place microstrip substrates as
close to the die as possible. Typical die to substrate spacing is
0.076 mm to 0.152 mm (3 mil to 6 mil).
Epoxy Die Attach
HANDLING PRECAUTIONS
ABLEBOND 84-1LMIT is recommended for die attachment.
Apply a minimum amount of epoxy to the mounting surface so
that a thin epoxy fillet is observed around the perimeter of the
chip after placing it into position. Cure the epoxy per the schedule
provided by the manufacturer.
To avoid permanent damage, adhere to the following
precautions.
Storage
All bare die ship in either waffle or gel-based ESD protective
containers, sealed in an ESD protective bag. After opening the
sealed ESD protective bag, all die must be stored in a dry nitrogen
environment.
WIRE BONDING
RF bonds made with 0.003 in. × 0.0005 in. gold ribbon are recom-
mended for the RF ports. These bonds must be thermosonically
bonded with a force of 40 g to 60 g. DC bonds of 0.001 in.
(0.025 mm) diameter, thermosonically bonded, are recommended.
Create ball bonds with a force of 40 g to 50 g and wedge bonds
with a force of 18 g to 22 g. Create all bonds with a nominal
stage temperature of 150°C. Apply a minimum amount of
ultrasonic energy to achieve reliable bonds. Keep all bonds
as short as possible, less than 12 mil (0.31 mm).
Cleanliness
Handle the chips in a clean environment. Never use liquid
cleaning systems to clean the chip.
Static Sensitivity
Follow ESD precautions to protect against ESD strikes.
