Description

1, 3, 7, 9, 11, 14

GND

Ground. Connect to a ground plane, which has low electrical and thermal impedance. For the interface schematic, see Figure 6.

2

RFIN

RF Input. The RFIN pin is AC-coupled and matched to 50 Ω. For the interface schematic, see Figure 5.

4, 5, 8, 12, 15, 16

NIC

No Internal Connection. This pin is not connected internally. For normal operation, this pin must be connected to ground.

6

RBIAS

Bias Setting Resistor. Connect a resistor between RBIAS and VDD to set IDQ. For more details, see Table 1 and Figure 75. For the

interface schematic, see Figure 3.

10

RFOUT

RF Output. The RFOUT pin is AC-coupled and matched to 50 Ω. For the interface schematic, see Figure 4.

13

VDD

Drain Bias. Connect this pin to the supply voltage. For the interface schematic, see Figure 4.

GROUND

PADDLE

Ground Paddle. Connect the exposed ground paddle to a ground plane, which has low electrical and thermal impedance.
