Therefore a negativ voltage (-4V...-6V) has to be supplied at VG. For transmit operation VTR must be set to 0V. During receive operation VTR should be disconnected (shut off mode).

CW - capability of the CGY92 Proving the possibility of CW - operation there must be known the total power dissipation of the device. This value can be found as a function of the temperature in the datasheet (page 10). The CGY92 has a maximum total power dissipation of Ptot = 5 W. As an example we take the operating point with a drain voltage VD = 3 V and a typical drain current of ID=1.0 A. So the maximum DC - power can be calculated to: PDC = VD ⋅ I D = 3W This value is smaller than 5 W and CW - operation is possible. By decoupling RF power out of the CGY92 the power dissipation of the device can be further reduced. Assuming a power added efficiency (PAE) of 40 % the total power dissipation Ptot can be calculated using the following formula: Ptot = PDC (1− PAE ) = 3W (1− 0.40) = 1.8W 2. Operation without using the internal current control If you don' t want to use the internal current control, it is recommended to connect the negative supply voltage at pin 1 (VTR) instead of pin 2 (VG). In that case VG is not connected. 3. Biasing and use considerations Biasing should be timed such that gate voltage (VG) is always applied before the drain voltage (VD), and when returning to the standby mode, gate voltage should only be removed once the drain voltage have been removed.
