Port Configuration and Functions
Port Functions
| Port | Function | Description | DC Equivalent Circuit |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1, 3, 4, 6 | N/C | These pins are internally no-connects and should be connected to DC/RF ground. |  |
| 2 | RF Input | This is the RF Input port of the amplifier die. It is RF matched to 50 Ω and requires an external DC blocking capacitor. |  |
| 5 | RF Output and Positive Collector Voltage Supply | This is the RF Output and positive supply voltage port Vc. It is RF matched to 50 Ω and is DC coupled. An external bias tee is required on this port. | |
| Paddle | Ground | Package ground paddle must be connected to a DC/RF ground potential with high thermal and electrical conductivity. | |
