Function
Description
Interface Schematic
1NC
No internal connections. It is not necessary to ground this pin.
2RF IN
RF input pin. This pin is NOT internally DC blocked. A DC blocking
capacitor, suitable for the frequency of operation, should be used in
most applications. DC coupling of the input is not allowed, because this
will override the internal feedback loop and cause temperature instabil-
ity.
3NC
No internal connections. It is not necessary to ground this pin.
4GND
Ground connection.
5GND
Ground connection.
6GND
Ground connection.
7NC
No internal connections. It is not necessary to ground this pin.
8RF OUT
RF output and bias pin. Biasing is accomplished with an external series
resistor and choke inductor to VCC. The resistor is selected to set the
DC current into this pin to a desired level. The resistor value is deter-
mined by the following equation:
Because DC is present on this pin, a DC blocking capacitor, suitable for
the frequency of operation, should be used in most applications. The
supply side of the bias network should also be well bypassed.
9NC
No internal connections. It is not necessary to ground this pin.
10
GND
Ground connection.
11
GND
Ground connection.
12
GND
Ground connection.
Die
Flag
GND
Ground connection. To ensure best performance, avoid placing ground
vias directly beneath the part.
