NAME
DESCRIPTION
2 GHz Power 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 amplifer to
maximum output capability. A series resistor is used to set the current flow into the pin,
thereby controlling the overall bias level of the pin.
2 GHz Detector Bias. Supply voltage and current is applied to this pin to apply power
to the detector circuits inside the PA.
2 GHz RF Input. AC coupled input stage internally matched to 50
V.
5 GHz RF Input. AC coupled input stage internally matched to 50
V.
5 GHz Detector Bias. Supply voltage and current is applied to this pin to apply power
to the detector circuits inside the 5 GHz PA.
5 GHz Power Control. The recommended use is for on/off control of the PA. Nominally,

5 GHz Supply Voltage. Bias for power transistor of stage 1 of the 5 GHz PA.
5 GHz Bias Circuit Voltage. Supply voltage and current is applied to this pin to apply
power to the bias circuits inside the 5 GHz PA.
5 GHz Supply Voltage. Bias for power transistor of stage 2 of the 5 GHz PA.
5 GHz Supply Voltage. Bias for power transistor of stage 3 of the 5 GHz PA.

5 GHz RF Output. AC coupled output stage internally matched to 50
V
. Route as
coplanar waveguide using adjacent ground pins. Although the output stage is AC
coupled, a shunt inductive matching element included inside the PA after the AC
coupling capacitor provides a DC path to ground at this pin.
