Table 1: Pin Description
PIN NAME DESCRIPTION
1
GND Ground
2 GHz RF Input. ESD protection circuits on this pin provide a DC path to ground.
2
RFIN 2G
Avoid applying DC voltage to this pin. RF is internally matched to 50 Ω and AC
coupled to the input stage. Route RF traces as coplanar waveguide using adjacent
ground pins.
5 GHz RF Input. Input stage internally matched to 50 Ω. Route as coplanar waveguide
3 RFIN 5G using adjacent ground pins. A shunt inductive matching element included inside the PA
provides a DC path to ground at this pin. Avoid applying DC voltage to this pin.
4
GND Ground
5 GHz On/Off Control. The recommended use is for on/off control of the PA. Nominally,
5 PAON 5G 0 V applied will turn amplifier completely off;+3.3 V should be used to set amplifier to
maximum output capability.
6
GND Ground
7
VCC 5G 5 GHz Supply Voltage. Bias for power transistors of the 5 GHz PA.
8
DETOUT 5G
5 GHz Power Detector Output. DC coupled power detector output. An emitter follower
BJT supplies the output for this pin.
9
GND Ground
5 GHz RF Output. Output stage internally matched to 50 Ω. Route as coplanar

RFOUT 5G
waveguide using adjacent ground pins. A shunt inductive matching element included
inside the PA provides a DC path to ground at this pin. Avoid applying DC voltage to
this pin.
2 GHz RF Output. ESD protection circuits on this pin provide a DC path to ground.
11
RFOUT 2G
Avoid applying DC voltage to this pin. RF is internally matched to 50 Ω and AC
coupled to the input stage. Route RF traces as coplanar waveguide using adjacent
ground pins.

BJT supplies the output for this pin.
14 VCC 2G 2 GHz Power Supply. Bias for power transistors of the 2 GHz PA.
15
GND Ground
2 GHz On/Off Control. The recommended use is for on/off control of the PA. Nominally,
16 PAON 2G 0 V applied will turn amplifier completely off; +3.3 V should be used to set amplifier to
maximum output capability.
