LTC6433-15 pin FuncTionsGND (Pins 8, 17, 23, Exposed Pad Pin 25): Ground. For FDBK (Pin 19): A feedback capacitor is required between best RF performance, all ground pins should be connected OUT (Pin 18) and the FDBK pin to ensure good matching to the printed circuit board ground plane. The exposed pad and gain flatness at low frequencies. should have multiple via holes to an underlying ground OUT (Pin 18): Amplifier Output Pin. A choke inductor is plane for low inductance and good thermal dissipation. necessary to provide power from the 5V supply and to IN (Pin 24): Signal Input Pin. This pin has an internally provide RF isolation. For best performance select a choke generated 2V DC bias. A DC blocking capacitor is required. with low DC loss and high self-resonant frequency (SRF). See the Applications Information section for specific A DC blocking capacitor is also required. See the Applica- recommendations. tions Information section for specific recommendations. VCC (Pins 9, 22): Positive Power Supply. Either VCC pin DNC (Pins 1 to 5, 7, 10 to 14, 16, 20, 21): Do Not Connect. should be connected to the 5V supply. Bypass the VCC pin Do not connect these pins; allow them to float. Failure to with 1000pF and 0.1µF capacitors. The 1000pF capacitor float these pins may impair operation of the LTC6433-15. should be physically close to the package.
