Abstract: An amplifier module includes a module substrate with a mounting surface, and a thermal dissipation structure that extends through the module substrate. A ground contact of a power transistor die is coupled to a surface of the thermal dissipation structure. Encapsulant material covers the mounting surface of the module substrate and the power transistor die, and a surface of the encapsulant material defines a contact surface of the amplifier module. A ground terminal is embedded within the encapsulant material. The ground terminal has a proximal end coupled to the thermal dissipation structure, and a distal end exposed at the contact surface. The ground terminal is electrically coupled to the ground contact of the power transistor die through the thermal dissipation structure.

Abstract: An amplifier includes a driver stage amplifier transistor and a final stage amplifier transistor, which are integrated in a semiconductor die. The driver stage amplifier transistor has a driver stage input, a driver stage output, and an output impedance, and the driver stage amplifier transistor is configured to operate using a first bias voltage at the driver stage output. The final stage amplifier transistor has a final stage input, a final stage output, and an input impedance. The final stage input is electrically coupled to the driver stage output. The final stage amplifier transistor is configured to operate using a second bias voltage at the final stage output, and the second bias voltage is at least twice as large as the first bias voltage.

Abstract: Evaluation board (EVB) assemblies or stacks utilized in tuning electronic modules are disclosed, as are methods for tuning such modules. In embodiments, the module testing assembly includes an EVB and an EVB baseplate. The EVB includes, in turn, an EVB through-port extending from a first EVB side to a second, opposing EVB side; and a module mount region on the first EVB side and extending about a periphery of the EVB through-port. The module mount region is shaped and sized to accommodate installation of a sample electronic module provided in a partially-completed, pre-encapsulated state fabricated in accordance with a separate thermal path electronic module design. A baseplate through-port combines with the EVB through-port to form a tuning access tunnel providing physical access to circuit components of the sample electronic module through the EVB baseplate from the second EVB side when the sample electronic module is installed on the module mount region.
