Device Operating Voltage Operating Current
Note 1: All specification and characterization data has been gathered on standard FR-4 evaluation boards. These evaluation boards are not optimized for frequencies above 2.5GHz. Performance above 2.5GHz may improve if a high performance PCB is used. Note 2: The RF3396 must be operated at or below 40mA in order to achieve the thermal performance listed above. While the RF3396 may be operated at higher bias currents, 35mA is the recommended bias to ensure the highest possible reliability and electrical performance. Note 3: Because of process variations from part to part, the current resulting from a fixed bias voltage will vary. As a result, caution should be used in designing fixed voltage bias circuits to ensure the worst case bias current does not exceed 40mA over all intended operating conditions.

Pin 1 2 Function NC RF IN Description
No internal connections. It is not necessary to ground this pin. RF input pin. This pin is NOT internally DC blocked. A DC blocking capacitor, suitable for the frequency of operation, should be used in most applications. DC coupling of the input is not allowed, because this will override the internal feedback loop and cause temperature instability. No internal connections. It is not necessary to ground this pin. Ground connection. Ground connection. Ground connection. No internal connections. It is not necessary to ground this pin. RF output and bias pin. Biasing is accomplished with an external series resistor and choke inductor to VCC. The resistor is selected to set the DC current into this pin to a desired level. The resistor value is determined by the following equation:

Interface Schematic

NC GND GND GND NC RF OUT
( V SUPPLY - V DEVICE ) R = -----------------------------------------------------I CC
Care should also be taken in the resistor selection to ensure that the current into the part never exceeds 40mA over the planned operating temperature. This means that a resistor between the supply and this pin is always required, even if a supply near 3.4V is available, to provide DC feedback to prevent thermal runaway. Because DC is present on this pin, a DC blocking capacitor, suitable for the frequency of operation, should be used in most applications. The supply side of the bias network should also be well bypassed. No internal connections. It is not necessary to ground this pin. Ground connection. Ground connection. Ground connection. Ground connection. To ensure best performance, avoid placing ground vias directly beneath the part.

PCB Solder Mask Pattern Liquid Photo-Imageable (LPI) solder mask is recommended. The solder mask footprint will match what is shown for the PCB metal land pattern with a 2mil to 3mil expansion to accommodate solder mask registration clearance around all pads. The center-grounding pad shall also have a solder mask clearance. Expansion of the pads to create solder mask clearance can be provided in the master data or requested from the PCB fabrication supplier.

Figure 2. PCB Solder Mask (Top View) Thermal Pad and Via Design The PCB metal land pattern has been designed with a thermal pad that matches the exposed die paddle size on the bottom of the device. Thermal vias are required in the PCB layout to effectively conduct heat away from the package. The via pattern has been designed to address thermal, power dissipation and electrical requirements of the device as well as accommodating routing strategies. The via pattern used for the RFMD qualification is based on thru-hole vias with 0.203mm to 0.330mm finished hole size on a 0.5mm to 1.2mm grid pattern with 0.025mm plating on via walls. If micro vias are used in a design, it is suggested that the quantity of vias be increased by a 4:1 ratio to achieve similar results. NOTE: A small amount of ground inductance is required to achieve data sheet performance. The necessary inductance may be generated by ensuring that no ground vias are placed directly below the footprint of the part.
