See the evaluation board schematic for the recommended external components. 4. VDAx and VDBx are connected to the +10 V bias. 5. The gates are controlled internally from the bias circuit shown on the evaluation board schematic but need to be bypassed as shown. VGAx must be connected to VGBx. 6. HPACNTRL is tied to +5 V for drain switching. For gate switching the PA is turned off when HPACNTRL is at 0 V. 7. The exposed pad centered on the package bottom must be connected to RF, DC and thermal ground. 1 M/A-COM Technology Solutions Inc.

Proper ESD control techniques should be used when handling these devices. 10. Exceeding any one or combination of these limits may cause permanent damage to this device. 11. MACOM does not recommend sustained operation near these survivability limits. 12. Operating at nominal conditions with TJ ≤ 160°C will ensure MTTF > 1 x 106 hours. 13. VGAx, VGBx can go to +0.3 V if no drain voltage is applied. 14.
