Notes:
1. Vd must remain below 9V to comply with maximum rating value.
2. The drain supply must be connected to both sides of the evaluation block.
3. The cooling fan must be powered at all times when the device is under bias.
4. Connect fan supply red/black to +12V. It requires ~100mA.

Assembly of a TGA2514-FL Package onto a Motherboard
1. Clean the motherboard or module with acetone. Rinse with alcohol and DI water. Allow the circuit
to fully dry.
2. To improve the thermal and RF performance, we recommend a heat sink attached to the bottom of the
package and apply Indium alloy shim ( 80IN,15PB and 5AG. Part # IPN 10061) to the bottom of TGA2514-FL.
3. Apply solder to each pin of TGA2514-FL.
4 Clean the assembly with alcohol.
