Port Configuration and Functions
Port Functions
| Port | Function | Description | DC Equivalent Circuit |
|---|---|---|---|
| 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 (1) | 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 (2) | 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. | |
