Function
Description
Interface Schematic
1RF 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 applica-
tions. DC coupling of the input is not allowed, because this will override the
internal feedback loop and cause temperature instability.
2GND
Ground connection.
3RF 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 determined 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. Care should also be
taken in the resistor selection to ensure that the current into the part never
exceeds 80mA over the planned operating temperature.
4GND
Ground connection.
