The ADM-8006PSM is a high-linearity, high gain, low noise distributed amplifier capable of providing +22 dBm output power up to 30 GHz. When driven with an input power of 0 to +5 dBm, the ADM-8006PSM can provide sufficient LO drive to power all H and most S diode mixers to 30GHz. The amplifier has excellent return losses and gain flatness.

| Port | Function | Description | DC Equivalent Circuit |
|---|---|---|---|
| 10 | Vd1 | Pin 10 is the DC supply pin for the amplifier’s input stage. | - |
| 11 | Cap1 | Pin 11 provides an off-chip AC ground for the input stage. This pin may be left OPEN but should NOT be connected GND. Leaving this pin OPEN will cause some degradation in gain and linearity below 5GHz. | - |
| 1-3, 5-7, 12-15, 17-19, 21, 23, 24 | NC | These pins are not internally connected. Datasheet performance is measured with these pins connected to PCB RF ground. | - |
| 16 | RF Input | Pin 16 is the amplifier RF input. This pin is internally DC blocked and RF matched to 50 Ohms. | - |
| 20 | Vg1 | Pin 20 provides bias for an internal current mirror that sets the current draw for amplifier input stage. Increasing current will increase gain at the expense of efficiency. The default series resistor (270 Ohms) is chosen to optimize gain, output power and efficiency when Vg1 and Vd1 are both tied to 5V. | - |
| 22 | Vg2 | Pin 22 provides bias for an internal current mirror that sets the current draw for amplifier output stage. Increasing current will increase gain at the expense of efficiency. The default series resistor (82.5 Ohms) is chosen to optimize gain, output power and efficiency when Vg2 and Vd2 are both tied to 5V. | - |
| 4 | RF Output | Pin 4 is the amplifier RF output. This pin is internally DC blocked and RF matched to 50 Ohms. | - |
| 8 | Vd2 | Pin 8 is the DC supply pin for the amplifier’s output stage. | - |
| 9 | Cap2 | Pin 9 provides an off-chip AC ground for the output stage. This pin may be left OPEN but should NOT be connected GND. Leaving this pin OPEN will cause some degradation in gain and linearity below 5GHz. | - |
| Paddle | Ground | The package ground paddle must be connected to a DC/RF ground potential with high thermal and electrical conductivity. | - |
