Port Functions

Port	Function	Description	DC Equivalent Circuit
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 10	RF Output	Pin 10 is the RF output of the amplifier, and is matched to 50 ohms. It is internally DC blocked.
Pin 14	Positive DC Supply Vd3	Pin 14 provides DC voltage to the amplifier’s third stage. Negative voltage must be supplied to Pin 6 before turning on the positive supply voltage.
Pin 15	Positive DC Supply Vd2	Pin 15 provides DC voltage to the amplifier’s second stage. Negative voltage must be supplied to Pin 6 before turning on the positive supply voltage.
Pin 16	Positive DC Supply Vd1	Pin 16 provides DC voltage to the amplifier’s first stage. Negative voltage must be supplied to Pin 6 before turning on the positive supply voltage.
Pin 2	RF Input	Pin 2 is the RF input of the amplifier, and is matched to 50 ohms. It is internally DC blocked.
Pin 6	Negative DC Supply Vg	Pin 6 provides -0.4V to -0.6V of DC voltage. This must be turned on before turning on the positive supply voltage to Pins 14-16.
Pins 1, 3, 4, 5, 7, 8, 9, 11, 12, 13	Non-connect (NC)	These pins are not internally connected to the amplifier. They should be connected to ground for increased RF isolation and mechanical stability. Datasheet RF performance was measured with these pins connected to ground.	-

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.

Parameter	Maximum Rating	Unit
Maximum Operating Temperature	85	°C
Maximum Storage Temperature	150	°C
Max Junction Temperature for MTTF of > 1E6 hours	175	°C
Minimum Operating Temperature	-40	°C
Minimum Storage Temperature	-65	°C
Positive Bias Current (Id)	450	mA
Positive Bias Voltage (VB)	5.5	V
RF Input Power	20	dBm
Thermal Resistance, θJC	94	ºC/W

Recommended Operating Conditions

The Recommended Operating Conditions indicate the limits, inside which the device should be operated, to guarantee the performance given in Electrical Specifications Operating outside these limits may not necessarily cause damage to the device, but the performance may degrade outside the limits of the electrical specifications. For limits, above which damage may occur, see Absolute Maximum Ratings.
