To supply current for output transistor, connect an inductor between the VCC pin (pin 3) and output pin (pin 1). Select inductance, as the value listed above. The inductor has both DC and AC effects. In terms of DC, the inductor biases the output transistor with minimum voltage drop to output enable high level. In terms of AC, the inductor makes output-port impedance higher to get enough gain. In this case, large inductance and Q is suitable. CAPACITORS FOR THE VCC, INPUT AND OUTPUT PINS Capacitors of 1 000 pF are recommendable as the bypass capacitor for the VCC pin. Capacitors of 330 pF for the input pin and 100 pF for the output pin are recommendable as the coupling capacitors. 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 perform as high pass filters, suppressing low frequencies to DC. 6 Data Sheet PU10500EJ01V0DS load.
