The INA-51063 is easy to use for low noise and multi- purpose gain block applications up to 2.4 GHz. Phase Reference Planes The positions of the reference planes used to measure S-Parameters are shown in Figure 9. As seen in the illustration, the reference planes are located at the point where the package leads contact the test circuit. Biasing The INA-51063 is a voltage biased device and operates from a single +5 volt power supply with a typical current drain of only 12 mA. All bias regulation circuitry is integrated into the RFIC. The supply voltage for the INA-51063 is fed in through the separate VCC pin of the device and does not require RF isolation from the input or output. No additional external DC compo- nents are needed. Operating Details The INA-51063 is very easy to use. The basic application of the INA- 51063 is shown in Figure 10. DC blocking capacitors are placed in series with the RF Input and RF Output to isolate adjacent stages from the internal bias voltages that are present at these terminals. The values of the blocking capacitors are deter- mined by the lowest operating frequency. The values for the blocking capacitors are chosen such that their reactances are small relative to 50 Ω. As an example, use of the INA-51063 for a 2.4 GHz application would require blocking capacitors of at least 33 pF. The VCC connection to the ampli- fier must be RF bypassed by placing a capacitor to ground directly at the bias pin of the package. Like the DC blocking capacitors, the value of the VCC bypass capacitor is determined by the lowest operating frequency for the amplifier. This value may typically be the same as that of the DC blocking capacitors. If long bias lines are used to connect the amplifier to the VCC supply, additional bypass capaci- tors may be needed to prevent resonances that would otherwise 0.026 0.07 0.016 0.035 Figure 11.

A well-bypassed VCC line is also desirable to prevent possible oscillations that may occur due to feedback through the bias line from other stages in a cascade. SOT-363 PCB Layout The INA-51063 is packaged in the miniature SOT-363 (SC-70) surface mount package. A PCB pad layout for the SOT-363 package is shown in Figure 11 (dimensions are in inches). This layout provides ample allowance for package placement by auto- mated assembly equipment without adding parasitics that could impair the high frequency RF performance of the INA-51063.
