I am using GaAsFET amplifier FLC107 from Sumitomo,it requires -ve gate bias and +very drain bias voltages for its operation.
By mistake my technician reversed the gate and drain wires,i. e drain received -ve
and gate received +ve DC supply.-5v and +2v to be specific.
I thought device might have been damaged by reversing the polarities,but when
correct DC supply were again connected to verify,the device worked perfectly alright and drew the specified current.
I want to know the reason,still whether this device can be used with reliability in any application,or this device is degraded by reversing the polarity.
