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 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 Port 1 | Pad Vd 1 supplies drain voltage to the first stage of the 3-stage amplifier IC. Apply gate voltage Vg before applying drain voltage. |  |
| Vd2 | Drain Supply Port 2 | Pad Vd 2 supplies drain voltage to the second stage of the 3-stage amplifier IC. Apply gate voltage Vg before applying drain voltage. |  |
| Vd3 | Drain Supply Port 3 | Pad Vd 3 supplies drain voltage to the third stage of the 3-stage amplifier IC. Apply gate voltage Vg before applying drain voltage. |  |
| Vg | Gate Bias Voltage Pad | The Vg pad is connected resistively on chip. The user should apply between 0.4V and -0.6V to Vg pad 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. |  |
