VG2,3 and VSS require fixed voltage biasing with VSS biased at -4.0V and 45mA. It is recommended to use active bias on VG1 to keep the current in VD1 constant in order to maintain the best performance over temperature. Depending on the supply voltage available and the power dissipation constraints, the bias circuit may be a single transistor or a low power operational amplifier, with a low value resistor in series with the drain supply used to sense the current. The gate of the pHEMT is controlled to maintain correct drain current and thus drain voltage. The typical gate voltage needed to do this is -0.2V. Make sure to sequence the applied voltage to ensure negative gate bias is available before applying the positive drain supply. App Note [2] Board Layout - As shown in the board layout, it is recommended to provide 100pF decoupling caps as close to the bias pins as possible, with additional 10µF decoupling caps.
