PIN Diagram .

Preliminary Datasheet RTV01 Note: Pin description with 14 pin SOIC package as follows: Pin 1, 14 are connected through the feedback that uses off chip inductor L1 of 80nH, R1 of 100 ohm and a capacitor of C3 of 200pF. Pin 14 is connected to VDD through Off chip inductor L2 off 150nH. Pin 3, 12 are connected to RFin and RFout through the off chip capacitors C1 of 560pF & C2 of 560pF respectively. A bypass capacitor C4 of value 1000pF has been added for better performance. Pin 2, 11 are the ground pins. Pin 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10& 13 are the not connected (NC Pins) The above amplifier will operate on VDD = 8V.
