Circuit
INRF Input The amplifier’s RF Input pad, this pad requires and external blocking capacitor and external stability network as shown in the application schematic.Equivalent circuit for the RF Input
OUT / VDDrain Supply / RF Output This pad is the RF Output port and is also the Vd port providing the main power supply to the amplifier. This pad is DC coupled and requires an external bias-T or discrete choke and DC blocking capacitor. This port is RF matched to 50 Ω. DC voltage at this pin should be set to 5V for normal operation.Equivalent circuit for the Drain Supply / RF Output
PaddleGround GND is provided through the backside of the die.Equivalent circuit for the Ground
VB1Non-connect (NC) This pad should not be connected.-
VB2Positive bias This pad provides DC bias to the amplifier. Placement of an external series bias resistor allows this pad to be supplied by the same supply line providing 5V to the RF Out/Vd pad For normal operation at 5V Vd, the recommended series bias resistor value is 3.3kΩ. Device drain current will change proportional to the current flowing into this pin. RF performance can be balanced with DC power consumption by adjusting this current. Equivalent circuit for the Positive bias
VG2Non-connect (NC) This pad should not be connected.-

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. Reliability limits are individual, instantaneous catastrophic limits only. Functional operation limits are indicated below. Operation of the device at multiple absolute maximum limits or for extended periods at a single limit can cause degradation and damage to the device.
