Port Configuration and Functions
AMM-6702CH
20-55 GHz GaAs LO Driver Amplifier
Port Functions
| Port | Function | Description | DC Equivalent Circuit |
|---|---|---|---|
| GND | Ground | Bottom side must be connected to a DC/RF ground potential with high thermal and electrical conductivity. |  |
| RF In | RF Input | This is the RF Input port of the amplifier die. It is internally DC blocked and RF matched to 50 Ω. RF input pad is GSG with 150 µm pitch. |  |
| RF Out | RF Output | This is the RF Output port of the amplifier die. It is internally DC blocked and RF matched to 50 Ω. RF output pad is GSG with 150 µm pitch. |  |
| Vd1 | Drain Supply Port 1 | Pad Vd1 supplies drain voltage to the first stage of the 4-stage amplifier IC. Apply gate voltage Vg before applying drain voltage. |  |
| Vd2 | Drain Supply Port 2 | Pad Vd2 supplies drain voltage to the second stage of the 4-stage amplifier IC. Apply gate voltage Vg before applying drain voltage. |  |
| Vd3 | Drain Supply Port 3 | Pad Vd3 supplies drain voltage to the third stage of the 4-stage amplifier IC. Apply gate voltage Vg before applying drain voltage. |  |
| Vd4 | Drain Supply Port 4 | Pad Vd3 supplies drain voltage to the fourth stage of the 4-stage amplifier IC. Apply gate voltage Vg before applying drain voltage. |  |
| Vg1-4 | Gate Supply Voltage Pads | The Vg pads are connected resistively on chip. The user should apply between -0.4V and -0.6V to any one of the 4 Vg pads before applying positive DC voltage to any Vd port. Lower (more negative) voltages on a Vg pad will result in lower drain current and lower small signal gain. |  |
