The application circuits and their parameters are for reference only and are not intended for use in actual design-ins. Capacitors for VCC, input and output pins 1 000 pF capacitors are recommendable as bypass capacitor for VCC pin and coupling capacitors for input/output pins. Bypass capacitor for VCC pin is intended to minimize VCC pin’s ground impedance. Therefore, stable bias can be supplied against VCC fluctuation. Coupling capacitors for input/output pins are intended to minimize RF serial impedance and cut DC. To get flat gain from 100 MHz up, 1 000 pF capacitors are assembled on the test circuit. [Actually, 1 000 pF capacitors give flat gain at least 10 MHz. In the case of under 10 MHz operation, increase the value of coupling capacitor such as 2 200 pF. Because the coupling capacitors are determined by the equation of C = 1/(2 π fZs).] 12 Data Sheet P14765EJ2V0DS00 µPC3215TB ILLUSTRATION OF THE TEST CIRCUIT ASSEMBLED ON EVALUATION BOARD AMP-2 Top View 3 2 1 IN OUT C 3H C C 6 5 4 Mounting direction VCC C COMPONENT LIST Notes 1. 30 × 30 × 0.4 mm double sided copper clad polyimide board.
