Using Informations
• Decoupling and Assembly recommendationsBond wires need to be as short as possible : inductance < 0.13nH for RF accesses.VD1, VD2 & VD3 : on each, a 100pF single layer capacitor as close as possible to the die.
• BiasingNegative gate -5V bias (VS1, VS2 & VS3) must be applied before positive voltages (VD1, VD2, VD3 & VD4).
