For applications not requiring operation to DC, this port should be DC blocked externally using a series capacitor whose values has been chosen to pass the necessary IF frequency range. For operation to DC, this pin must not source/sink more than 4mA of current or die non-function and possible die failure will result. 7 RF This pin is AC coupled and matched to 50 Ohms.

Signal lines should have 50 Ohm impedance while the package ground leads and exposed paddle should be connected directly to the ground plane similar to that shown. A sufficient number of via holes should be used to connect the top and bottom ground planes. The evaluation circuit board shown is available from Hittite upon request.
