Table 1: Pin Description
PIN
1
NAME
GND
DESCRIPTION
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.
5 GHz RF Input. Input 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.
Ground
5 GHz On/Off Control. The recommended use is for on/off control of the PA. Nominally,
0 V applied will turn amplifier completely off;+3.3 V should be used to set amplifier to
maximum output capability.
Ground
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.
Ground
5 GHz RF Output. Output stage internally matched to 50
