Description
Module RF input. This pin is internally connected to DC ground. Do not apply DC voltages to the RF leads. Care must be
taken to protect against video transients that may damage the active devices.
This is the drain voltage for the first stage. Nominally +28Vdc
This is the drain voltage for the 2
nd
stage of the amplifier module. The 2
nd
stage gate bias is temperature compensated to
maintain constant quiscent drain current over the operating temperature range. See Note 1.
Module RF output. This pin is internally connected to DC ground. Do not apply DC voltages to the RF leads. Care must be
taken to protect against video transients that may damage the active devices.
Exposed area on the bottom side of the package needs to be mechanically attached to the ground plane of the board for
optimum thermal and RF performance. See mounting instructions in application note AN-060 on Sirenza’s web site.

Note 1:
The internal generated gate voltage is thermally compensated
to maintain constant quiescent current over the temperature
range listed in the data sheet. No compensation is provided for
gain changes with temperature. This can only be provided with
AGC external to the module.
Note 2:
Internal RF decoupling is included on all bias leads. No addi-
tional bypass elements are required, however some applica-
tions may require energy storage on the drain leads to
accommodate time-varying waveforms.
Note 3:
This module was designed to have it's leads hand
soldered to an adjacent PCB. The maximum soldering iron tip
temperature should not exceed 700° F, and the soldering iron tip
should not be in direct contact with the lead for longer than 10
seconds. Refer to app note AN054 (www.sirenza.com) for fur-
ther installation
instructions.
Operating Temperature Range
Storage Temperature Range
Operation of this device beyond any one of these limits may cause per-
manent damage. For reliable continuous operation see typical setup val-
ues specified in the table on page one.
Caution: ESD Sensitive
Appropriate precaution in handling, packaging
and testing devices must be observed.
