RUP15030-10
This product is a Wideband Pallet Amplifier based on a Gallium Nitride Transistor.
The Gallium Nitride Transistor requires a Negative Voltage Bias which operates alongside a Positive Voltage Bias. These Biases are
applied in accordance to the Sequence during Turn-On and Turn-Off.
The Pallet Amplifier does not have a built-in Bias Sequence Circuit. Therefore, users need to either apply positive voltages and
negative voltages in the required sequence, or add an external Bias Circuit to this Amplifier.
The required sequence for power supply is as follows.
During Turn-On
1. Connect GND to Pin 4(GND).
2. Apply 5V to Pin 2(Ref.).
3. Apply -5V to Pin 3(V
GS
.).
4. Apply 28V to Pin 1(V
DD
.).
5. Turn on the pin 2 and pin 3, then turn on the pin 1.
6. Apply the RF Power.
During Turn-Off
1. Turn off RF power.
2. Turn off pin 1, then turn off the pin 3 and pin 2.
3. Remove all connections.
