The amplifier's input and output impedances are 50 , which allows these amplifiers to be cascaded without external impedance matching networks. The typical -3 dB bandwidth of the SKY65017 is LF-6 GHz. The SKY65017 is lead (Pb)-free and RoHS compliant. It is also "Green" -- environmentally friendly, containing no antimony or halogens such as bromine. A populated evaluation board is available upon request.

Exceeding any of the absolute maximum/minimum specifications may result in permanent damage to the device and will void the warranty. CAUTION: Although this device is designed to be as robust as possible, Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) can damage this device. This device must be protected at all times from ESD. Static charges may easily produce potentials of several kilovolts on the human body or equipment, which can discharge without detection. Industry-standard ESD precautions must be employed at all times.

Pin 4 must be connected via a low thermal resistance path to a good heatsink. 1 Input RF input - RF input with 50 nominal input impedance. An internally generated DC voltage is present at this pin, so an external DC block should be used to connect this pin to the external circuit. 3 Output RF output - DC supply voltage input and RF output with 50 nominal output impedance. The nominal voltage required at this pin is listed in the Electrical Specifications Table. Supply current is determined by an external resistor connected between the DC power supply and this pin.

IS VS L2 C4 L3 R1 L1 VD Input C1 Output C2 The positive supply voltage, VS, is connected to pin 3, RF Output of the amplifier via the decoupling network which consists of C4, L1, L2 and R1. The power supply current, IS, must be limited, either via the current limit function of an external bench power supply, or by replacing L3 with resistor R1, the value of which is given in the Current Limiting Resistor Values table. The evaluation board is shipped with L3 in place, which shifts an in-band series resonance of the supply decoupling network out of band. For low frequency applications, R1 may be used to conveniently limit supply current on the evaluation board. The evaluation board also contains a probe fixtures which facilitates the direct measurement of the s parameters of the SKY65017. The probe fixture comprises a very short coplanar waveguide (CPW) transmission line to pin 1 and an identical line to pin 3. All other pins of the amplifier are grounded. The CPW transmission lines are compatible with ground-signal-ground wafer probe tips, which can be connected to the RF ports of a vector network analyzer (VNA) via coaxial cables. The very small electrical length of these CPW transmission lines obviates the need to de-embed their effects from the s parameters that are measured. The supply constant current must be applied via the bias tee, which is typically integrated into the VNA, which is cascade with the output pin of the amplifier.
