FUNCTIONAL PIN DESCRIPTION

Name

Description

RF IN

RF input for the power amplifier. This pin is directly connected to base, a 10pF decoupling capacitor may be

needed.

VB12

Bias current control voltage for the first and second stage.

VB3

Bias current control voltage for the third stage. The VB3 pin can be connected with the first and second stage

VCC

Supply voltage for the bias reference and control circuits. The VCC feed line should be terminated with a 10nF

bypass capacitor close to connector pin. This pin can be combined with VC1, VC2 and VC3 pins, resulting in a

RF OUT

RF output for the power amplifier. This pin is DC-decoupled from the transistor collector of the third stage.

VC1

Power supply for first stage amplifier. The VC1 feed line should be terminated with a 10pF bypass capacitor,

followed by a 36 Ohm resistor. This pin can be combined with VC2,VC3 and VCC pins, resulting in a single

VC2

Power supply for second stage amplifier. The VC2 feed line should be terminated with a 18pF bypass capacitor.

VC3

Power supply for the third stage amplifier. The VC3 feed line should be terminated with 27 pF and 10 nF bypass

capacitors. This pin can be combined with VC1,VC2 and VCC pins, resulting in a single supply voltage (referred

GND

The center metal base of the MLP package provides both DC and RF ground as well as heat sink for the power

amplifier.
