CAPACITORS FOR THE VCC, INPUT AND OUTPUT PINS
Capacitors of 1000 pF are recommendable as the bypass capacitor for the VCC pin and the coupling capacitors for
the input and output pins.
The bypass capacitor connected to the VCC pin is used to minimize ground impedance of VCC pin. So, stable bias
can be supplied against VCC fluctuation.
The coupling capacitors, connected to the input and output pins, are used to cut the DC and minimize RF serial
impedance. Their capacitances are therefore selected as lower impedance against a 50 Ω load. The capacitors thus
perform as high pass filters, suppressing low frequencies to DC.
To obtain a flat gain from 100 MHz upwards, 1 000 pF capacitors are used in the test circuit. In the case of under
10 MHz operation, increase the value of coupling capacitor such as 10 000 pF. Because the coupling capacitors are
determined by equation, C = 1/(2 πRfc).

NOTES ON CORRECT USE
(1) Observe precautions for handling because of electro-static sensitive devices.
(2) Form a ground pattern as widely as possible to minimize ground impedance (to prevent undesired oscillation).
All the ground pins must be connected together with wide ground pattern to decrease impedance difference.
(3) The bypass capacitor should be attached to VCC line.
(4) The DC cut capacitor must be each attached to input and output pin.
