Port Functions

Port	Function	Description
GND	Ground	Backside of the IC must be connected to a DC/RF ground with high thermal and electrical conductivity. Ground pad connected to IC backside with via.
RF In	RF Input	This is the RF Input port of the amplifier die. It is RF matched to 50 Ω and requires an external DC blocking capacitor.
Vd/RF Out	RF Output and Positive Device Voltage Supply Port	This is the amplifier die’s RF Output and positive supply voltage port, Vd. It is RF matched to 50 Ω and is DC coupled.
