For proper control bias, this pin should be con- 1 Vpd nected to 5V through a series resistor of 130 Ohms. A higher voltage is 11 not recommended. For lower idle current, this voltage can be reduced. Ground: Backside of package has exposed metal ground paddle that T 2, 4, 7 GND must be connected to ground thru a short path. Vias under the device M are required. S This pin is AC coupled 3 RFIN and matched to 50 Ohms. - S R RF output and bias for the output stage. The power supply for the 5, 6 RFOUT output device needs to be supplied to these pins. E I F I L Power supply voltage for the fi rst amplifi er stage. An external bypass P 8 Vcc capacitor of 330 pF is required. This capacitor should be placed as M close to the device as possible.
