A fully populated evaluation board is also available, type No. ZLE40804. 2 Zarlink Semiconductor Inc. ZL40804 Data Sheet Circuit Options The application circuit includes some optional components that may be required to improve tolerance of system noise present in the application. Dummy R source may be added to the inverting input to provide a better matched source impedance at the input. This will improve the rejection of common mode noise present within the system. Dummy R load may be added to the inverting output to provide better matched load at the output. This will reduce the radiated EMI at the output and reduce the Output Noise present on the supply rail. Rfilter can be inserted between the Vcc_In and the Vcc_out to provide additional filtering to the input Vcc. The input Vcc powers the input bias reference only and can be a sensitive point to system noise. The nominal input current at Vcc_In is 0.35 mA. An alternative would be to use an inductive choke. C1 is additional Supply Filtering and should be added with Rfilter. The IC includes 10pF of on Chip Supply Filtering. Input & Output Circuit Figure 4 shows the equivalent input and output circuit.

The single ended output contains some input frequency break through which contributes to the distortion present. This is a common mode signal which is rejected if the output is taken differentially. Differential operation also provides an additional 6 dB output power. Differential Operation reduces the radiated EMI in the system and reduces the susceptibility to common mode system noise.
