HMC980LP4E v01.0911 ACTIVE BIAS CONTROLLERHIGH CURRENTPin Descriptions (Continued) Pin Number Function Description Interface Schematic T Feedback (Control) pin for Negative Voltage Generator Charge Pump. Float to activate the negative voltage 11 VNEGFB M generator / Short to GND to disable the negative voltage generator. T - S Control pin for VGATEFB. Float VGATEFB when a 12 VGATEFB depletion mode transistor is biased. Selects the mode N of operation along with VNEGFB pin. E M E Control voltage of the second gate pin VG2. Use a 13 VG2_CONT resistor divider between VDD and GND to set the volt- G age. VG2 is typically 1.3V lower than the VG2CONT A N A R M 14 VG2 Second gate control. E W O Negative input to the chip. Should be supplied with CPOUT when negative voltage generator is enabled, or 15 VNEG connect to external VSS when negative voltage genera- C P tor is enabled. Defaults to -2.5V. If a value different than D -2.5V required, please contact factory. Gate Control pin for external amplifier. Connect to the gate (base) of the external amplifier. In order to guar- 16 VGATE antee stability, a 2.2μF capacitor should be connected between the gate (base) terminal of the external ampli- fier and GND as close to the amplifier as possible. Drain voltage. Should be connected to the supply termi- nal of the external amplifier. A minimum 10 nF capacitor 17, 18 VDRAIN has to be placed close to the external amplifier to improve load regulation.
