RF amplifiers with series-coupled output bondwire arrays and shunt capacitor bondwire array
Various embodiments relate to a packaged radio frequency (RF) amplifier device implementing a split bondwire where the direct ground connection of an output capacitor is replaced with a set of bondwires connecting to ground in a direction opposite to the wires connecting to the output of a transistor to an output pad. This is done in order to reduce the effects of mutual inductance between the various bondwires associated with the output of the RF amplifier device.
