GND

Connection to ground.

3

Vin

Voltage supply connection for input. This pin should be bypassed with a suitable capacitor.

4

Vb

Bias connection for input. This pin should be bypassed with a suitable capacitor

5

IN

RF input pin. This pin requires a DC blocking capacitor

6Rb

Input bias resistor connection for setting bias current. This pin should be connected to groung for specified

operation.

8

Vctl 1

Gain adjust for Output 3. This pin should be bypassed to ground for max gain

9

Ch. 1

RF Output 1 and DC supply pin. This pin required the use of an external blocking capacitor and RF choke.

12

Ch. 2

RF Output 2 and DC supply pin. This pin required the use of an external blocking capacitor and RF choke.

13

Vctl 2

Gain adjust for Output 3. This pin should be bypassed to ground for max gain

16

Ch. 3

RF Output 3 and DC supply pin. This pin required the use of an external blocking capacitor and RF choke.

Back-

side

GND

The exposed backside paddle needs to be well grounded with multiple vias. This is the main electrical GND

and the main thermal path.

Caution: ESD Sensitive

Appropriate precaution in handling, packaging

and testing devices must be observed.

Operation of this device beyond any one of these limits may

cause permanent damage. For reliable continuous operation

the device voltage and current must not exceed the maximum

operating values specified in the table on page one.
