Number of ground bonwdires in MMIC

Hi All,

I read from a MMIC datasheet mentioning the number of bondwire connected to ground should be as much as possible, I wonder what is the reason of this? Ground bounce?


Thanks in advance!

Most MMICs have the bottom side grounded. "Bondwires connected to ground" is typically not necessary. Running multiple bondwires in parallel is to reduce parasitic effects of bond wire and/or increase power handling capabilities. Could you attach the datasheet?
