Port Functions
| Port | Function | Description | DC Equivalent Circuit |
|---|---|---|---|
| Paddle | Ground | DC and RF Ground are provided through the QFN paddle. The paddle should be attached to a DC/RF ground with high thermal and electrical conductivity. |  |
| Pin 11 | Vd | This is the positive DC supply voltage for the amplifier IC. This pin is nominally set to +5V. 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 | This is the amplifiers RF input port. This port is internally matched to 50 Ohms and is internally DC shorted to GND. This pin may be left floating if no DC is present on the line but should be DC blocked otherwise. |  |
| 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 51mA when Vd=5V. This part requires an off-chip bypass capacitor in series with a 10 Ohm resistor installed at this pin as close to the IC as possible. See applications circuit. |  |
| Pin 8 | RF Output | This is the amplifiers RF output port. This port is internally matched to 50 Ohms and is internally DC shorted to GND. This pin may be left floating if no DC is present on the line but should be DC blocked otherwise. |  |
| Pins 1,3,4,6,7,9,10 and 12 | Non-connect (NC) | These pins are not internally connected. Datasheet performance is measured with these pins connected to ground. | - |

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 |
|---|---|---|
| Drain Current (Id) (No RF Applied) | 84 | mA |
| Maximum Operating Temperature for MTTF > 1E6 hours | 85 | °C |
| Maximum Storage Temperature | 125 | °C |
| Minimum Operating Temperature for MTTF > 1E6 hours | -40 | °C |
| Minimum Storage Temperature | -65 | °C |
| Negative Bias Voltage | -2 | V |
| Positive Drain Supply Voltage (Vd) | 8 | V |

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.
