Function

Description

1

RFIN / VPC

RF input pin and power up down control. Supply VPC = 3.3V thru a 4.7Kohm resistor to this pin. For more

gain (~0.3dB), a 5.6nH inductor can also be used in place of the resistor. If an inductor is used, move the 4.7k

resistor towards the DC supply, but still in series with pin1. A minimum 1k series resitance is required on this

pin from the DC supply. VPC less than 2V shuts off the amplifier.

2,5,6

Ground

Put GND vias as close as possible to these pins. It is recommended to use the via pattern in out eval board

layout and recommended land pattern

3VCC

This provides Vcc to the active bias circuit and supplies the Vcc1 collector voltage of the first stage. This pin

needs to be bypassed with capacitors as close as possible to the pin. Two 0402 100pF capacitors are recom-

mended in parallel to lower the inductance to GND thru the caps.

4

RFOUT

Rf output for the amplifier and Vcc2 for the second stage.

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.
