Port Configuration and Functions
Port Functions
| Port | Function | Description | DC Equivalent Circuit |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ground Paddle | Ground | Ground paddle and non-connected pins must be connected to a DC/RF ground potential with high thermal and electrical conductivity, and low inductance. |  |
| Pin 11 | Vd | Pin 11 is the DC bias supply for the amplifier. The voltage at this pin should be set to 4V for normal operation. This part requires an off-chip bypass capacitor of 0.1uF installed at this pin as close to the IC as possible. See applications circuit. |  |
| Pin 2 | RF Input | Pin 2 is the amplifier's RF input pin. This port is internally matched to 50 Ohms and is internally DC blocked. |  |
| Pin 5 | Vg | This is the negative DC bias voltage for the amplifier IC. The voltage at this pin controls the current draw Id of the part. Higher voltage results in higher current. For normal operation, the voltage at this pin is adjusted to produce an Id of 84mA when Vd=4V. This part requires an off-chip 0.1uF bypass capacitor installed at this pin as close to the IC as possible. See applications circuit. |  |
| Pin 8 | RF Output | Pin 8 is the amplifier's RF output pin. This port is internally matched to 50 Ohms and is internally DC blocked. |  |
