Port Functions

Port	Function	Description
Pin 11	LO Input	Pin 11 is DC open and AC matched to 50Ω over the specified LO frequency range.
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	IF	Pin 21 is diode coupled and AC matched to 50Ω over the specified IF port frequency range.
Pin 27	RF Input / Output	Pin 27 is DC short and AC matched to 50Ω over the specified RF frequency range.
Pin 45	Vd2	Pin 45 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.

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.

Bias Current (Ig1+Ig2)	95	mA
Bias Voltage (Vg1,Vg2)	6	V
DC Current (IF)	30	mA
Drain Current (Id1+Id2)	400	mA
Drain Supply Voltage (Vd1,Vd2)	6	V
Maximum Operating Temperature	85	°C
Maximum Storage Temperature	125	°C
Minimum Operating Temperature	-40	°C
Minimum Storage Temperature	-65	°C
Power Handling, at any Port	15	dBm

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.

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 a down converter, unless otherwise stated Mixer Noise Figure typically measures within 0.5 dB of conversion loss for IF frequencies greater than 5 MHz.
