Qorvo provides a recommended PCB layout and thermal management guide in their application note AN-2171, which includes guidelines for thermal vias, heat sinks, and PCB stack-up to ensure optimal performance and thermal dissipation.
Qorvo offers a simulation model and design kit for the RFSA3513SR, which includes a non-linear model and a set of design files for popular EDA tools like ADS and Genesys. These tools can help optimize the biasing and tuning of the device for specific applications.
While the datasheet specifies an operating temperature range of -40°C to 85°C, Qorvo's application note AN-2171 recommends derating the device's power output above 70°C to ensure reliable operation and prevent thermal damage.
Qorvo recommends following proper PCB design and layout practices, such as using shielding, grounding, and filtering, to minimize EMI. Additionally, they suggest using a metal shield or enclosure to contain the RF energy and reduce radiation.
Qorvo recommends storing the RFSA3513SR in a dry, cool place, away from direct sunlight and moisture. They also suggest handling the device by the package body, rather than the leads, to prevent mechanical stress and damage.
