3.1 Application Circuit

3.2 Biasing Procedure

 Make sure no RF power is applied to the device before continuing.  Pinch off device by setting VGG to -1.5 V.  Raise VDD to +7 V while monitoring drain current.  Raise VGG until drain current reaches 1300 mA. VGG should be between -1.5 and -0.5 V.  Apply RF power.  To improve the thermal and RF performance, ASB recommends a heat sink er attached to the bottom of the package with an Indium alloy preform. Note 1: The capacitors are recommended on the bias supply line, close to the package, in order to prevent video oscillations which could damage the module.
