The following bias procedure is recommended to ensure proper functionality of AP603 in a laboratory environment. The sequencing is not
required in the final system application.

Attach input and output loads onto the evaluation board.
Turn on power supply Vcc = +28V.
Turn on power supply Vbias = +5V. At this point, the only current drawn by the device is leakage current (< 25μA).
Turn on power supply Vpd = +5V. Power supply Vcc should now be drawing typical Icq = 160mA.
Turn on RF power.
Turn off RF power.
Turn off power supply Vpd = +5V.
Turn off power supply Vbias = +5V.
Turn off power supply Vcc = +28V.
Icq can be adjusted with the resistor R2 from the Vpd (+5V) supply and the PIN_VPD (pin14) of the amplifier. Increasing R2
results in a lower Icq. Icq should not be increased above 320mA.
Vpd is used as a reference for the internal active bias circuitry. It can be used to turn on/off the amplifier. Ipd depends on the Icq
quiescent current setting. Ipd can be up to 8mA at a quiescent current setting of 320mA.
Vbias should be maintained fixed at +5V. Ibias will change based on RF input power level. It can be up to 8mA on the AP603.
