Table 1: Pin Description
PIN
NAME
DESCRIPTION
1
GND
Ground
2 GHz RF Input. ESD protection circuits on this pin provide a DC path to ground.
Avoid applying DC voltage to this pin. RF is internally matched to 50 Ω and AC
coupled to the input stage. Route RF traces as coplanar waveguide using adjacent
ground pins.
2
RFIN 2G
5 GHz RF Input. Input stage internally matched to 50 Ω. Route as coplanar waveguide
3
4
RFIN 5G using adjacent ground pins. A shunt inductive matching element included inside the PA
provides a DC path to ground at this pin. Avoid applying DC voltage to this pin.
GND
Ground
5 GHz On/Off Control. The recommended use is for on/off control of the PA. Nominally,
5
PAON 5G 0 V applied will turn amplifier completely off;+3.3 V should be used to set amplifier to
maximum output capability.
6
7
GND
Ground
V
CC 5G
DETOUT 5G
GND
5 GHz Supply Voltage. Bias for power transistors of the 5 GHz PA.
5 GHz Power Detector Output. DC coupled power detector output. An emitter follower
BJT supplies the output for this pin.
8
9
Ground
5 GHz RF Output. Output stage internally matched to 50 Ω. Route as coplanar
waveguide using adjacent ground pins. A shunt inductive matching element included
inside the PA provides a DC path to ground at this pin. Avoid applying DC voltage to
this pin.
10
RFOUT 5G
2 GHz RF Output. ESD protection circuits on this pin provide a DC path to ground.
Avoid applying DC voltage to this pin. RF is internally matched to 50 Ω and AC
coupled to the input stage. Route RF traces as coplanar waveguide using adjacent
ground pins.
