Port Functions
| Port | Function | Description | DC Equivalent Circuit |
|---|---|---|---|
| Pin 12 | Vg1 | Pin 12 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 14 | Vg2 | Pin 14 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 18 | IF | Pin 18 is diode coupled and AC matched to 50Ω over the specified IF port frequency range. | - |
| Pin 22 | RF Input / Output | Pin 22 is DC short and AC matched to 50Ω over the specified RF frequency range. | - |
| Pin 37 | Vd2 | Pin 37 is the DC supply pin for the amplifier’s output stage. | - |
| Pin 39 | Vd1 | Pin 39 is the DC supply pin for the amplifier’s input stage. | - |
| Pin 9 | LO Input | Pin 9 is DC open and AC matched to 50Ω over the specified LO frequency range. | - |
