Description
Agilent Technologies’s ATF-54143
is a high dynamic range, low
noise, E-PHEMT housed in a
4-lead SC-70 (SOT-343) surface
mount plastic package.
The combination of high gain,
high linearity and low noise
makes the ATF-54143 ideal for
cellular/PCS base stations,
MMDS, and other systems in the
450 MHz to 6 GHz frequency
range.

Applications
• Low noise amplifier for cellular/
PCS base stations
• LNA for WLAN, WLL/RLL and
MMDS applications
• General purpose discrete E-PHEMT
for other ultra low noise applications
Note:
1. Enhancement mode technology requires
positive Vgs, thereby eliminating the need for
the negative gate voltage associated with
conventional depletion mode devices.
Notes:
1. Operation of this device in excess of any one
of these parameters may cause permanent
damage.
2. Assumes DC quiescent conditions.
3. Source lead temperature is 25°C. Derate
6 mW/°C for TL > 92°C.
4. Thermal resistance measured using
150°C Liquid Crystal Measurement method.
5. The device can handle +10 dBm RF Input
Power provided IGS is limited to 2 mA. IGS at
P1dB drive level is bias circuit dependent. See
application section for additional information.

Notes:
1. Idq represents the quiescent drain current
without RF drive applied. Under low values of
Ids, the application of RF drive will cause Id to
increase substantially as P1dB is approached.
2. Fmin values at 2 GHz and higher are based on
measurements while the Fmins below 2 GHz
have been extrapolated. The Fmin values are
based on a set of 16 noise figure measure-
ments made at 16 different impedances using
an ATN NP5 test system. From these
measurements a true Fmin is calculated.
Refer to the noise parameter application
section for more information.

Figure 19. MSG/MAG and |S21|2 vs.

Notes:
1. Fmin values at 2 GHz and higher are based on measurements while the Fmins below 2 GHz have been extrapolated. The Fmin values are based on a set of
16 noise figure measurements made at 16 different impedances using an ATN NP5 test system. From these measurements a true Fmin is calculated.
Refer to the noise parameter application section for more information.
2. S and noise parameters are measured on a microstrip line made on 0.025 inch thick alumina carrier. The input reference plane is at the end of the gate
lead. The output reference plane is at the end of the drain lead. The parameters include the effect of four plated through via holes connecting source
landing pads on top of the test carrier to the microstrip ground plane on the bottom side of the carrier. Two 0.020 inch diameter via holes are placed
within 0.010 inch from each source lead contact point, one via on each side of that point.

FREQUENCY (GHz)
Figure 20. MSG/MAG and |S21|2 vs.
Frequency at 3V, 60 mA.
Notes:
1. Fmin values at 2 GHz and higher are based on measurements while the Fmins below 2 GHz have been extrapolated. The Fmin values are based on a set of
16 noise figure measurements made at 16 different impedances using an ATN NP5 test system. From these measurements a true Fmin is calculated.
Refer to the noise parameter application section for more information.
2. S and noise parameters are measured on a microstrip line made on 0.025 inch thick alumina carrier. The input reference plane is at the end of the gate
lead. The output reference plane is at the end of the drain lead. The parameters include the effect of four plated through via holes connecting source
landing pads on top of the test carrier to the microstrip ground plane on the bottom side of the carrier. Two 0.020 inch diameter via holes are placed
within 0.010 inch from each source lead contact point, one via on each side of that point.
