Description
Interface Schematic
1GND
Low inductance ground connections. Use individual vias to backside
ground plane, placed within 0.030" of pin landing for optimum perfor-
mance.
2GND
Same as pin 1.
3RF IN
DC-coupled RF input. A broadband impedance match is produced by
internal shunt resistive feedback. The DC level is 0V. If a DC voltage is
present from connected circuitry, an external DC-blocking capacitor is
required for the proper DC operating point.
4GND
Same as pin 1.
5GND
Same as pin 1.
6RF OUT
Open drain RF output. A broadband impedance match is produced by
an external 100
Ω resistor to power supply as shown in Application
Schematic 1. Approximately 3dB improvement in gain and output
power can be obtained over at least a 20% bandwidth by replacing the
resistor to power supply with an external chip inductor network as
shown in Application Schematic 2. An external DC-blocking capacitor is
required if the following circuitry is not DC-blocked.
7VDD2
Power supply connections. Bypass with external chip capacitor and
individual via to backside ground plane.
8VDD1
Power supply connections. Bypass with external chip capacitor and
individual via to backside ground plane.
