Due to its open-collector structure, the output RF port must be tied to VCC2. The pin 8 allows a bias current adjust to set the output power and the gain. The circuit is packaged in SO8 for thermal dissipation considerations. MATCHING Within the 300-1000MHz band, although the circuit is matched, the output return loss can be improved by adding a serial inductor (L2) between the RF output and VCC2 (56nH @450MHz and 10nH @900MHz). Below 300MHz, using the S-parameters matrix, specific input/outpu t matching networks can be calculated to maximize electrical performances. DC BLOCKING Because input/output are respectively internal/external biased, DC blocks (C1, C2) are recommended on both RF ports to guarantee a DC isolation from the next cells. Above 500MHz, 100pF is suggested whereas below, 1nF is better and far below (less than 100MHz), 10nF is prefered. BIASING The amplifier can operate in the range of 1,5V to 5V and offers a bias current adjust function (Vbias pin) which enables the trimming of the RF output power (AB class Amplifier) by tuning a series variable resistor (Rbias). When Vbias is wired to the VCC rail, the current consumptionis maximized getting the best linearity (A class Amplifier) whereas biasing to Ground, the IC is set in power down mode. For higher supply voltage than 4V to reach high output power, the serial resistor (R1) is strongly recommended to increase the efficiency of the amplifier and therefore reduce the thermal dissipation of the circuit. DECOUPLING As with any RF devices, the supply voltage decoupling must be done carefully using a 1nF bypass capacitor (C3, C5) placed as close as possible to the device pins and could be also improved by adding a 150nH RF choke inductance (L1). Concerning the Vbias pin, a 10nF decoupling capacitor (C4) is recommended while placing on board is not critical. Note that Surface Mounted Devices (SMD) components are prefered for RF applications due to the right behaviour in high frequencies while low inductor values (few 10nH) can be printed on board. 6/10 TSH691 GAIN vs FREQUENCY (450MHz) 30 -35°C +25°C V +85°C Gain (dB) 25 GAIN vs FREQUENCY (900MHz) 30 -35°C +25°C V +85°C 25 Gain (dB) 20 20 15 15 L2 =10nH (450MHz Operation) Vcc=Vbias=3V 10 100 200 300 400 500 600 Freq (MHz) 700 800 900 1000 10 100 200 300 L2 =10nH (900MHz Operation) Vcc=Vbias=3V 400 500 600 Freq (MHz) 700 800 900 1000 INPUT RETURN LOSS (450MHz) 0 INPUT RETURN LOSS (900MHz) 0 -5 -5 -15 S11 (dB) -10 S11 (dB) 2V 3V -10 2V 3V -15 4V 4V -20 Vcc=Vbias @ Ta=+ 25°C L2=56nH (450MHz operation) -20 Vcc=Vbias @ Ta=+25°C L2 =10nH (900MHz operation) -25 100 200 300 400 500 600 Freq (MHz) 700 800 900 1000 -25 100 200 300 400 500 600 Freq (MHz) 700 800 900 1000 OUTPUT RETURN LOSS (450MHz) 0 OUTPUT RETURN LOSS (900MHz) 0 -5 3V 2V S22 (dB) -10 S21 (dB) 4V -15 -5 2V -10 3V -15 4V -20 -20 Vcc=Vbias @ Ta=+ 25°C L2=56nH (450MHz operation) -25 100 200 300 400 500 600 Freq (MHz) 700 800 900 1000 -25 100 Vcc=Vbias @ Ta=+25°C L2=10nH (900MHz operation) 200 300 400 500 600 Freq (MHz) 700 800 900 1000 7/10 TSH691 REVERSE ISOLATION vs FREQUENCY 0 1dB COMPRESSION vs BIAS VOLTAGE 20 -10 15 -20 P1dB (dBm) S12 (dB) Vcc = 3V 10 Vcc = 4V -30 L2=10nH -40 L2=56nH Vcc = 2V 5 -50 Vcc=Vbias=3V Ta=+25°C 200 300 400 500 600 Freq (MHz) 700 800 900 1000 0 1,5 2 2,5 Ta=25°C L2 =10nH (900MHz operation) -60 100 3 Vbias (V) 3,5 4 ADMISSION (900MHz) 20 SUPPLY CURRENT vs BIAS VOLTAGE 60 6 Icc total 15 40 Icc total (mA) Pout (dBm) +85°C 10 +25°C 4 I bias (mA) 2 0 0 0,5 1 1,5 Vbias (V) 2 2,5 3 I bias 20 5 -35°C Vcc=Vbias=3V L2 =10nH (900MHz operation ) 0 -20 Vcc=3V, Ta=+25°C Pin = -40dBm 0 -15 -10 Pin (dBm) -5 0 8/10 TSH691 DEMONSTRATION BOARD : Diagram for 300MHz - 1000MHz operation DEMONSTRATION BOARD : Silk Screen DEMONSTRATION BOARD : Printed Circuit Board (available on request) 9/10 TSH691 PACKAGE MECHANICAL DATA 8 PINS - PLASTIC MICROPACKAGE (SO) Dim.
