Port Functions
| Port | Function | Description | DC Equivalent Circuit |
|---|---|---|---|
| ACG1 | AC Ground | This pad should be attached to an off-chip bypass capacitor. The recommended bypassing for this pad is 0.1uF. Do not ground this pad. | - |
| ACG3 | AC Ground | This pad should be attached to an off-chip bypass capacitor. The recommended bypassing for this pad is 0.1uF. Do not ground this pad. | - |
| ACG4 | AC Ground | This pad should be attached to an off-chip bypass capacitor. The recommended bypassing for this pad is 0.1uF. Do not ground this pad. | - |
| GND | Ground | Bottom side of the die must be connected to a DC/RF ground with high thermal and electrical conductivity. There is no need to bond to the Gnd pads on the top of the die. |  |
| RF In | RF Input | The amplifier’s RF Input pad, this pad requires an external blocking capacitor as shown in the application schematic. This pad is internally matched to 50 Ohms. |  |
| RF Out | RF Output | The amplifier’s RF Output pad, this pad requires an external blocking capacitor as shown in the application schematic. This pad is internally matched to 50 Ohms. |  |
| VDD/ACG2 | Drain Supply Voltage | This pad provides DC power to the drain of the amplifier. DC voltage at this pin should be set to 5V for normal operation. |  |
| VGG1 | Gate Bias Voltage | This pad provides DC bias to the gate of the amplifier. This pin requires a negative bias voltage for normal operation. The drain current Id of the amplifier will be controlled by the voltage applied to this pin. As this voltage becomes more positive, drain current will increase. For normal operation, the voltage on this pin should be set to produce a drain current of 45mA. |  |
| VGG2 | AC Ground | This pad should be attached to an off-chip bypass capacitors. The recommended bypassing for this pad is a 0.1uF+100pF. Do not ground this pad. | - |

Absolute Maximum Ratings
The Absolute Maximum Ratings indicate limits beyond which damage may occur to the device. If these limits are exceeded, the device may become inoperable or have a reduced lifetime. Reliability limits are individual, instantaneous catastrophic limits only. Functional operation limits are indicated below. Operation of the device at multiple absolute maximum limits or for extended periods at a single limit can cause degradation and damage to the device.
| Parameter | Maximum Rating | Unit |
|---|---|---|
| Drain Supply Voltage (Vd) | 7 | V |
| Gate Supply Voltage (Vg) | -1.5 | V |
| Maximum Operating Temperature for MTTF > 1E6 hours | 85 | °C |
| Maximum Storage Temperature | 125 | °C |
| Minimum Operating Temperature for MTTF > 1E6 hours | -40 | °C |
| Minimum Storage Temperature | -65 | °C |
| Positive Drain Supply Current (Id) (with RF Input) | 70 | mA |
| RF Input Power | 20 | dBm |
