VC1
These are unused pins and not wired inside the package. They may be grounded or connected to adjacent pins.
VPC1 is the bias control pin for the stage 1 active bias circuit. An external series resistor is required for proper setting of
bias levels. Refer to the evaluation board schematic 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. An external series resistor is required for proper setting of
bias levels. Refer to the evaluation board schematic 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 >10K for best performance
RF input pin. This is DC grounded internal to the IC. Do not apply voltage to this pin.
RF output pin. This is also another connection to the 2nd stage collector.
2nd stage collector bias pin. Apply 3.0V to 5.0V to this pin.
1st stage collector bias pin. Apply 3.0V to 5.0V to this pin.
Active bias network VCC. Apply 3.0V to 5.0V 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 ther-
mal and RF performance. Several vias should be located under the EPAD as shown in the recommended land pattern.
