Circuit
1,3,6Gnd These pins should be connected to ground.-
2RF Input Pin 2 is the RF Input port of the amplifier. It is internally RF matched to 50 Ω and requires an external DC blocking cap.Equivalent circuit for the RF Input
4Vb Pin 4 provides DC bias to the amplifier. Placement of an external series bias resistor allows this pin to be supplied by the same supply line providing 5V to Pin 5. For normal operation at 5V Vd, the recommended series bias resistor value is 3.3kΩ. Device drain current will change proportional to the current flowing into this pin. RF performance can be balanced with DC power consumption by adjusting this current. -
5RF Out / Vd Pin 5 is the RF Output port and is also the Vd port providing the main power supply to the amplifier. This pin is DC coupled and requires an external bias-T or discrete choke and DC blocking capacitor. This port is RF matched to 50 Ω. DC voltage at this pin should be set to 5V for normal operation.Equivalent circuit for the RF Out / Vd
PaddleGnd Package ground paddle must be connected to a DC/RF ground potential with high thermal and electrical conductivity.Equivalent circuit for the Gnd

Specifications

Absolute Maximum Ratings

The Absolute Maximum Ratings indicate limits beyond which damage may occur to the device. If any one of 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.
