Function
VC C
Description
VCC is the supply voltage for the active bias network.
Bypassing in the appropriate location as shown on
application schematic is required for optimum RF
performance.
Vbias is the bias control pin for the active bias network.
Device current is set by the current into this pin.
Recommended configuration is shown in the Application
Schematic. Bypassing in the appropriate location as
shown on application schematic is required for optimum
RF performance.
RF input pin. This pin requires the use of an external
DC blocking capacitor chosen for the frequency of
operation.

RF Out/Vcc RF output and bias pin. Bias should be supplied to this
pin through an external RF choke. Because DC biasing
is present on this pin, a DC blocking capacitor should
be used in most applications (see application
schematic). The supply side of the bias network should
be well bypassed. An output matching network is
necessary for optimum performance.
