For the proper performance of the device, Ground / Thermal via holes must be designed to remove heat. 2. To properly use heatsink, ensure the ground/thermal via hole region to contact the heatsink. We recommend the mounting screws be added near the heatsink to mount the board 3. In designing the necessary RF trace, width will depend upon the PCB material and construction. 4. Use 1 oz. Copper minimum thickness for the heatsink. 5. Do not put solder mask on the backside of the PCB in the region where the board contacts the heatsink 6. We recommend adding as much copper as possible to inner and outer layers near the part to ensure optimal thermal performance.

The Gallium Nitride Transistor requires a Negative Voltage Bias which operates alongside a Positive Voltage Bias. These Biases are applied in accordance to the Sequence during Turn-On and Turn-Off. The Pallet Amplifier does not have a built-in Bias Sequence Circuit. Therefore, users need to either apply positive voltages and negative voltages in the required sequence, or add an external Bias Circuit to this Amplifier. The required sequence for power supply is as follows. During Turn-On 1. Connect GND. 2. Apply Vgs2. 3. Apply Vds1 and Vds2 4. Apply the RF Power. During Turn-Off 1. Turn off RF power. 2. Turn off Vds1 and Vds2, and then, turn off the Vgs2. 3. Remove all connections.
