Functional block diagramm:
Control circuit:
The drain current ID of the CGY 92 is
adjusted by the internal control circuit.
Therefore a negativ voltage (-4V...-6V)
has to be supplied at VG. For transmit
operation VTR must be set to 0V. During
receive operation VTR should be dis-
connected (shut off mode).

Test circuit board:
Note:
By changing the position of the
6.8 pF capacitor at pin # 12 it is
possible to tune the board for
max. Pout or max. PAE. To
achieve the maximum output
power place the capacitor close
to the CGY92. For a better PAE
increase the distance between
the capacitor and the CGY92
device (2-5mm).

APPLICATION - HINTS
1. CW - capability of the CGY92
Proving the possibility of CW - operation there must be known the total power dissipation of the
device. This value can be found as a function of the temperature in the datasheet (page 10). The
CGY92 has a maximum total power dissipation of Ptot = 5 W.
As an example we take the operating point with a drain voltage VD = 3 V and a typical drain current
of ID=1.0 A. So the maximum DC - power can be calculated to:
P
V
I
W
DC
D
D
= =
3
This value is smaller than 5 W and CW - operation is possible.
By decoupling RF power out of the CGY92 the power dissipation of the device can be further
reduced. Assuming a power added efficiency (PAE) of 40 % the total power dissipation Ptot can be
calculated using the following formula:

2. Operation without using the internal current control
If you don' t want to use the internal current control, it is recommended to connect the negative
supply voltage at pin 1 (VTR) instead of pin 2 (VG). In that case VG is not connected.
3. Biasing and use considerations
Biasing should be timed such that gate voltage (VG) is always applied before the drain voltage (VD),
and when returning to the standby mode, gate voltage should only be removed once the drain
voltage have been removed.
