It can be used to bias any enhancement and depletion type amplifiers operating in Class-A regime with Drain voltages from 4V to 12V and drain currents up to 200mA, offering a complete biasing solution. HMC981 achieves excel ent bias stability over supply, temperature and process variations, and eliminates the required calibration procedures usual y employed to prevent RF performance degradation due to such variations. All data shown herein is taken with appropriate probes.
