Circuit
GNDGround -Housing or ground lug must be connected to a DC/RF ground potential with high thermal and electrical conductivity. Ground lug is located below VD and VG pins.Equivalent circuit for the Ground
RF InRF Input -The amplifier’s RF Input port is RF matched to 50 Ω and has built-in DC blocking capacitors.Equivalent circuit for the RF Input
RF OutRF Output -The amplifier’s RF Output port is RF matched to 50 Ω and has built-in DC blocking capacitors.Equivalent circuit for the RF Output
VdDrain Supply Pin -The VD pin supplies DC voltage to the drain of the amplifier IC. Apply gate bias voltage VG before apply drain power supply.Equivalent circuit for the Drain Supply Pin
VgGate Bias Pin -The VG pin provides a required negative bias which controls the drain power supply current to the amplifier. More negative voltage decreases the supply current. Apply gate bias voltage VG before apply drain power supply.Equivalent circuit for the Gate Bias Pin

Specifications

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.
