Pin
Function
Description
Interface Schematic
1NC
No connection. This pin should be connected to the ground plane.
2NC
Same as pin 1.
3GND
Ground connection. Keep traces physically short and connect immediately
to ground plane for best performance. Each ground pin should have a via
to the ground plane.
4GND
Same as pin 3.
5GND
Same as pin 3.
6RF IN
RF input pin. This pin is not internally DC blocked. A DC blocking capacitor
suitable for the frequency of operation is required if DC is present from the
previous stage. The gate voltage is nominally 0V but can be raised exter-
nally to increase the bias level. This will increase the current drain but
improve linearity.
7NC
Same as pin 1.
8NC
Same as pin 1.
9NC
Same as pin 1.
10
NC
Same as pin 1.
11
NC
Same as pin 1.
12
GND
Same as pin 3.
13
GND
Same as pin 3.
14
RF OUT
RF output and bias pin. Because DC is present on this pin, a DC blocking
capacitor, suitable for the frequency of operation, should be used in most
applications. For biasing, only an RF choke is needed.
