DESCRIPTION
Ground
2 GHz RF Input. ESD structures on this pin provide a DC path to ground. Avoid
applying DC voltage to this pin. RF is internally matched to 50
and AC coupled to
the input stage. Route RF traces as coplanar waveguide using adjacent ground pins.
5 GHz RF Input. AC coupled input stage internally matched to 50
.
Route as coplanar
waveguide using adjacent ground pins. Although the input stage is AC coupled, a
shunt inductive matching element included inside the PA provides a DC path to ground
at this pin.
Ground
5 GHz Power Control. Power amplifier power control pin. The recommended use is for
on/off control of the PA. Nominally, 0 V applied will turn amplifier completely off; a
voltage of 2.0 V and above will set the PA to maximum output capability. Current draw
on this pin is approximately 0.5 mA at +3.3 V.
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. Output impedance is 2 k.
