Function
Description
Interface Schematic
1RF IN
RF input pin. This pin is DC coupled.
2GND1
Ground connection. For best performance, keep traces physically short
and connect immediately to ground plane.
3BIAS
This pin is used to control the bias current. An external resistor can be used
to set the bias current for any VBIAS voltage. See table with evaluation
board schematic.
4RF OUT
Amplifier output pin. This pin is an open-collector output. It must be biased
to VCC through a choke or matching inductor. This pin is typically matched
to 50
Ω with a shunt bias/matching inductor and series blocking/matching
capacitor. Refer to application schematics.
5GND2
Ground connection. For best performance, keep traces physically short
and connect immediately to ground plane.
