It has repeatable performance from lot to lot. It is enclosed in a Micro-X package. MAR-6+ uses Darlington configuration and is fabricated using silicon technology. Expected MTBF is 2,200 years at 85°C case temperature. simplified schematic and pin description RF-OUT and DC-IN RF-OUT and DC-IN RF IN GND GND RF IN GROUND Function Pin Number Description RF IN 1 RF input pin. This pin requires the use of an external DC blocking capacitor chosen for the frequency of operation. RF-OUT and DC-IN 3 RF output and bias pin. DC voltage is present on this pin; therefore a DC blocking capacitor is necessary for proper operation. An RF choke is needed to feed DC bias without loss of RF signal due to the bias connection, as shown in “Recommended Application Circuit”. GND 2,4 Connections to ground. Use via holes as shown in “Suggested Layout for PCB Design” to reduce ground path inductance for best performance. Mini-Circuits ® EW ALL N minicircuits.com ISO 9001 ISO 14001 CERTIFIED P.O.
