Description
Pins are not used. May be grounded, left open, or connected to adjacent pin.
VPC1 is the bias control pin for the stage 1 active bias circuit and can be run from 2.9Vto5V control. An external series
resistor is required for proper setting of bias levels depending on control voltage. Refer to the evaluation board sche-
matic for resistor value. To prevent potential damage, do not apply voltage to this pin that is +1V greater than voltage
applied to pin 20 (Vbias) unless Vpc supply current capability is less than 10mA.
VPC2 is the bias control pin for the stage 2 active bias circuit and can be run from 2.9Vto5V control. An external series
resistor is required for proper setting of bias levels depending on control voltage. Refer to the evaluation board sche-
matic for resistor value. To prevent potential damage, do not apply voltage to this pin that is +1V greater than voltage
applied to pin 20 (Vbias) unless Vpc supply current capability is less than 10 mA.
VPC3 is the bias control pin for the stage 3 active bias circuit and can be run from 2.9Vto5V control. An external series
resistor is required for proper setting of bias levels depending on control voltage. Refer to the evaluation board sche-
matic for resistor value. To prevent potential damage, do not apply voltage to this pin that is +1V greater than voltage
applied to pin 20 (Vbias) unless Vpc supply current capability is less than 10mA.
Output power detector voltage. Load with 10Kto100K  to ground for best performance.
RF input pins. This is DC grounded internal to the IC. Do not apply voltage to this pin. All three pins must be used for
proper operation.
RF output pin. This is also another connection to the 3rd stage collector
3rd stage collector bias pin. Apply 5V to this pin.
2nd stage collector bias pin. Apply 5V to this pin.
1st stage collector bias pin. Apply 5V to this pin.
Active bias network VCC. Apply 5V to this pin.
Exposed area on the bottom side of the package needs to be soldered to the ground plane of the board for optimum
thermal and RF performance. Several vias should be located under the EPAD as shown in the recommended land pat-
tern (page 5).
