Port Functions

Port	Function	Description
GND	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	RF	Pin 11 is DC open and AC matched to 50 Ohms from 10 to 40 GHz. Blocking capacitor is optional.
Pin 16	Positive DC Supply Vd3	Pins 16 provides +2.5V to +4V DC voltage to the amplifier’s third stage. Negative voltage must be supplied to Pin 5 before turning on the positive supply voltage.
Pin 17	Positive DC Supply Vd2	Pins 17 provides +2.5V to +4V DC voltage to the amplifier’s second stage. Negative voltage must be supplied to Pin 5 before turning on the positive supply voltage.
Pin 18	Positive DC Supply Vd1	Pins 18 provides +2.5V to +4V DC voltage to the amplifier’s first stage. Negative voltage must be supplied to Pin 5 before turning on the positive supply voltage.
Pin 2	LO	Pin 2 is the input of the integrated LO driver amplifier and is matched to 50 ohms. It is internally DC blocked.
Pin 5	Negative DC Supply Vg	Pin 5 requires -0.4V to -0.6V of DC voltage. This must be turned on before turning on the positive supply voltage to Pin 5.
Pin 8	IF	Pin 8 is DC coupled to the diodes. Blocking capacitor is optional.

DC Voltage on VD	4.5	V
DC Voltage on VG	-2	V
LO Power Handling	20	dBm
Maximum Operating Temperature	85	°C
Maximum Storage Temperature	150	°C
Max Junction Temperature for MTTF> 1E6 hours	175	°C
Minimum Operating Temperature	-40	°C

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.
