11 GHz – 38 GHz GaAs Driver Amplifier
Port Functions
| Port | Function | Description | DC Equivalent Circuit |
|---|---|---|---|
| GND | Ground | Ground is provided through the backside of the die. The backside of the die must be connected to a DC/RF ground 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 175 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 175 µm pitch. |  |
| VD1 | Drain Supply Voltage | Pad VD1 supplies the drain voltage to the first stage of the 3-stage amplifier IC. Apply gate voltage to VG pins before applying drain voltage. |  |
| VD2 | Drain Supply Voltage | Pad VD2 supplies the drain voltage to the first stage of the 3-stage amplifier IC. Apply gate voltage to VG pins before applying drain voltage. |  |
| VD3 | Drain Supply Voltage | Pad VD3 supplies the drain voltage to the first stage of the 3-stage amplifier IC. Apply gate voltage to VG pins before applying drain voltage. |  |
| VG1 | Gate Bias Voltage | VG1 provides the gate bias to the first stage of the 3-stage amplifier. The user should apply between -0.4 and -0.6V to VG1 pad before applying any VD drain supply. |  |
| VG2 | Gate Bias Voltage | VG2 provides the gate bias to the first stage of the 3-stage amplifier. The user should apply between -0.4 and -0.6V to VG2 pad before applying any VD drain supply. | |
| VG3 | Gate Bias Voltage | VG3 provides the gate bias to the first stage of the 3-stage amplifier. The user should apply between -0.4 and -0.6V to VG3 pad before applying any VD drain supply. | |
