Murata GRM0335C1E101 Murata GRM1555C1E101 Murata BLM15GG471 Evaluation Board Purpose DC Block Bypass Choke Application Information The MAAM-011101 is designed to be easy to use yet high performance. The ultra small size, no matching, and simple bias allows easy placement on any system board. LO Buffer applications: The MAAM-011101 is good as a LO buffer since it has excellent isolation, selectable power output, low phase noise, and 50 Ω match (even under heavy drive). It is designed to deliver saturated output levels up to +20 dBm common to driving mixer configurations. It is typically used in conjunction with filters or splitters after the VCO or PLL. PA Driver applications: The MAAM-011101 makes a very good low cost driver before the transmit power amplifier. Set typically 7 dB backed off P1dB as a linear driver, it still delivers up to +12 dBm. Often cascaded in series with an attenuator, it allows gain control with little pulling due to mis-match. The low gain expansion allows little AM-to-AM distortion. Grounding: It is recommended that the total ground (common mode) inductance not exceed 0.03 nH (30 pH). This is equivalent to at least four 8 mil (200 u) vias per 8 mil board (200 u) be place under the device to ground DC Bias Tee: To bias properly, a DC voltage must be applied at the output pin. Typically this is down with a 2 element bias network that consists of a choke and a DC blocking capacitor. We recommend a high Q inductor for the choke and quality capacitor for the DC block. 3 M/A-COM Technology Solutions Inc. and its affiliates reserve the right to make changes to the product(s) or information contained herein without notice.
