Signal lines should have 50 Ohm impedance while the package ground leads and package bottom should be connected directly to the ground plane similar to that shown. A sufficient number of via holes should be used to connect the top and bottom ground planes. The evaluation board should be mounted to an appropriate heat sink. The evaluation circuit board shown is available from Hittite upon request.

Proper precautions should be observed during handling, assembly and test. The input to this device should be AC-coupled. To provide the typical 8Vp-p output voltage swing, a 1.2Vp-p ACcoupled input voltage swing is required. Device Power Up Instructions 1. Ground the device 2. Set Vgg to -2V (no drain current) 3. Set Vctl to +1V (no drain current) 4. Set Vdd to +5V (no drain current) 5. Adjust Vgg for Idd = 140mA • Vgg may be varied between -1V and 0V to provide the desired eye crossing point percentage (i.e. 50% crosspoint) and a limited cross point control capability. • Vdd may be increased to +7V if required to achieve greater output voltage swing. • Vctl may be adjusted between +2V and +0V to vary the output voltage swing. Device Power Down Instructions 1. Reverse the sequence identified above in steps 1 through 4.
