Port Functions
| Port | Function | Description | DC Equivalent Circuit |
|---|---|---|---|
| Pin 15 | Vg1 | Pin 15 provides bias for an internal current mirror that sets the current draw for amplifier input stage. Increasing current will increase gain at the expense of efficiency. The default series resistor (270 Ohms) is chosen to optimize gain, output power and efficiency when Vg1 and Vd1 are both tied to 5V. |  |
| Pin 17 | Vg2 | Pin 17 provides bias for an internal current mirror that sets the current draw for amplifier output stage. Increasing current will increase gain at the expense of efficiency. The default series resistor (82.5 Ohms) is chosen to optimize gain, output power and efficiency when Vg2 and Vd2 are both tied to 5V. |  |
| Pin 21 | RF Input / Output | Pin 21 is DC short and AC matched to 50Ω over the specified RF frequency range. |  |
| Pin 29 | IF-1 | Pin 29 is diode coupled and AC matched to 50Ω over the specified IF-1 port frequency range. |  |
| Pin 30 | IF-2 | Pin 30 is diode coupled and AC matched to 50Ω over the specified IF-2 port frequency range. | |
| Pin 44 | Vd2 | Pin 44 is the DC supply pin for the amplifier’s output stage. |  |
| Pin 47 | Vd1 | Pin 47 is the DC supply pin for the amplifier’s input stage. | |

Eval board IF and RF traces were de-embedded using AFR and LO trace power correction was applied to show the true performance of the QFN. Measured as an I/Q down converter, unless otherwise stated Mixer Noise Figure typically measures within 0.5 dB of conversion loss for IF frequencies greater than 5 MHz. Image Rejection and Single sideband performance plots are defined by the upper sideband (USB) or lower sideband (LSB) with respect to the LO signal. Plots are defined by which sideband is selected by the external IF quadrature hybrid. Typical IIP3 is measured with I and Q ports combined with an external IF quadrature hybrid coupler.
