Pin

Function

Description

1VBIAS

This is the supply voltage for the active bias circuit.

2RF IN

This is the RF input pin and has a DC voltage present. An external DC block is required.

3VPC

Power up/down control pin. The voltage on this pin should never exceed the voltage on pin 1 by more than 0.5V unless

the supply current from pin 3 is limited<10mA.

4VDET

This is the output port for the power detector. It samples the power at the input of the amplifier.

6NC

This pin is not connected internal to the package. Buss it to pin 5 as shown on the app circuit to achieve the specified

performance.

GND

GND

These pins are DC connected to the backside paddle. They provide good thermal connection to the backside paddle for

hand soldering and rework. Many thermal and electrical GND vias are recommended as shown in the landing pattern.
