PRODUCTION DATA
The TRF1305x2 devices are wideband closed-loop feedback amplifiers. When designing with wideband RF amplifiers that have high gain, take certain board layout precautions to maintain stability and optimized performance. Use a multilayer board to maintain signal integrity, power integrity, and thermal performance.
Route the RF input and output lines as grounded coplanar waveguide (GCPW) lines. Ground pins are the reference for the RF signals. Ensure that the second layer of the PCB has a continuous ground layer without any ground cutouts in the vicinity of the amplifier. To minimize phase imbalance, match the length of the output differential lines of both channels. Length matching the input traces is also important, especially if the input configuration is differential. Use small-footprint, passive components wherever possible.
For good heat dissipation,connect the device thermal pad to the board ground planes using thermal vias under the device. For improved heat dissipation, connect the device thermal pad to the top layer ground plane of the board.
