EVB can be ground or no connect. No internal connection. EVB can be ground or no connect. RF output and collector bias RF output and collector bias No internal connection. EVB can be ground or no connect. Supply voltage for the active bias circuit No internal connection. EVB can be ground or no connect. Bias control pin. Can also be used as a power-down pin. No internal connection. EVB can be ground or no connect. DC and RF ground. Must be soldered to EVB ground plane over a bed of vias for thermal and RF performance. Solder/epoxy voids under the EPAD will result in excessive junction temperatures causing permanent damage.
