| Port | Function | Description | DC Equivalent Circuit |
|---|---|---|---|
| IN | RF Input | The amplifier’s RF Input pad, this pad requires and external blocking capacitor and external stability network as shown in the application schematic. | |
| OUT / VD | Drain 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. | |
| Paddle | Ground | GND is provided through the backside of the die. | |
| VB1 | Non-connect (NC) | This pad should not be connected. | - |
| VB2 | Positive 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. | |
| VG2 | Non-connect (NC) | This pad should not be connected. | - |
