Port Functions

Port	Function	Description	DC Equivalent Circuit
IN	RF Input	This is the RF Input port of the amplifier. It is internally RF matched to 50 Ω and requires an external DC blocking cap.
OUT	Drain Supply / RF Output	This is the RF Output port and is also the Vd port providing the main power supply to the amplifier. This pin 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	Gnd	Ground is provided through the backside of the die. See mounting instructions for more information on mounting practices for best thermal and electrical performance.	-
VB1	Non-connect (NC)	Do not connect this pad.	-
VB2	Vb	This pad provides DC bias to the amplifier. Placement of an external series bias resistor allows this pin to be supplied by the same supply line providing 5V to the RF Out/Vd pad. For normal operation, this pad can be left floating. DO NOT GROUND this pad. Device drain current will change proportional to the current flowing into this pin. RF performance can be balanced with DC power consumption by adjusting the current into this pin.
VG2	Non-connect (NC)	Do not connect this pad.	-

Specifications

Absolute Maximum Ratings

The Absolute Maximum Ratings indicate limits beyond which damage may occur to the device. If any one of 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.

Bias Voltage (Vb)	8	V
Drain Current (No RF Applied)	222	mA
Drain Supply Voltage (Vd)	8	V
Maximum Operating Temperature for MTTF > 1E6 hours	85	°C
Maximum Storage Temperature	125	°C
Max Junction Temperature for MTTF of 1E6 hours	175	°C
Max Power Dissipation for MTTF of 1E6 hours	0.72	W
Minimum Operating Temperature for MTTF > 1E6 hours	-40	°C
Minimum Storage Temperature	-65	°C
RF Input Power	15	dBm
θ_Jc, Junction to Case Thermal Resistance	65	ºC/W

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.
