Port Functions

Port	Function	Description
ACG1	External Chip Capacitor	The ACG1 pad provides additional off chip bypass capacitance. A 100pF chip capacitor is recommended.
ACG2	External Chip Capacitor	The ACG2 pad provides additional off chip bypass capacitance. A 0.1uF chip capacitor is recommended.
ACG3	External Chip Capacitor	The ACG3 pad provides additional off chip bypass capacitance. A 0.1uF chip capacitor is recommended.
ACG4	External Chip Capacitor	The ACG4 pad provides additional off chip bypass capacitance. A 100pF chip capacitor is recommended.
GND	Ground	Housing or ground lug must be connected to a DC/RF ground potential with high thermal and electrical conductivity.
RF In	RF Input	This is the amplifier’s RF Input port. It is RF matched to 50 Ω and requires an DC blocking capacitors
Vd/RF Out	Drain Supply / RF Output	The VD pin supplies DC voltage to the drain of the amplifier IC. This pin is nominally set at +6V.
Vg	Gate Bias Pin	The VG pad provides a required positive bias which supplies the current mirror. A higher voltage results in a higher current draw through the VD / RF Out port. This port should be set to +3V for normal operation.

Specifications

Absolute Maximum Ratings

The Absolute Maximum Ratings indicate limits beyond which damage may occur to the device. If these limits are exceeded, the device may become inoperable or have a reduced lifetime. This amplifier is designed and characterized in a 50Ω system, and operation in a reflective environment can cause performance degradation.

Parameter	Maximum Rating	Unit
Minimum Storage Temperature	-65	°C
Positive Drain Supply Voltage (Vd)	6	V
RF Input Power	20	dBm
Maximum Storage Temperature	150	°C
Minimum Operating Temperature	-40	°C
Max Junction Temperature for MTTF > 1E6 Hours	175	°C
Maximum Operating Temperature	85	°C

Recommended Operating Conditions

The Recommended Operating Conditions indicate the limits, inside which the device should be operated, to guarantee the performance given in Electrical Specifications Operating outside these limits may not necessarily cause damage to the device, but the performance may degrade outside the limits of the electrical specifications. For limits, above which damage may occur, see Absolute Maximum Ratings.
