Pin
Function
Description
Interface Schematic
1RF IN
RF input. Matching network with DC block required, see evaluation
board schematic for details.
2
BIAS GND1 Ground for first stage bias circuit. Not connected.
See pin 5.
3
PWR SEN
The PWR SEN and PWR REF pins can be used in conjunction with an
external feedback path to provide an RF power control function for the
RF5117C. The power control function is based on sampling the RF
drive to the final stage of the RF5117C.
4
PWR REF
Same as pin 3.
See pin 3.
5VREG1
This pin requires a regulated supply to maintain nominal bias current.
6VREG2
Same as pin 5.
See pin 5.
7
BIAS GND2 Ground for second stage bias circuit. For best performance connect to
ground with a 10nH inductor.
See pin 5.
8NC
Not connected.
9NC
Not connected.
10
RF OUT
RF output and bias for the output stage. The power supply for the out-
put transistor needs to be supplied to this pin. This can be done
through a quarter-wave length microstrip line that is RF grounded at the
other end, or through an RF inductor that supports the required DC cur-
rents.
11
RF OUT
Same as pin 10.
See pin 10.
12
RF OUT
Same as pin 10.
See pin 10.
13
VCC
Interstage match and bias for first stage output. Connect interstage
matching capacitor to this pad with a short trace. Connect low-fre-
quency bypass capacitors to this pin with a long trace. See evaluation
board layout for details.
See pin 1.
14
VCC
Same as pin 13.
See pin 1.
15
NC
Not connected.
16
NC
Not connected.
Pkg
Base
GND
Ground connection. The backside of the package should be connected
to the ground plane through a short path, i.e., vias under the device will
be required.
