Precautions for design-ins
(1) Observe precautions for handling because of electro-static sensitive devices.
(2) Form a ground pattern as widely as possible to minimize ground impedance. All the ground pins must be
connected as shortly as possible to decrease impedance difference (to prevent malfunction or undesired
oscillation).
(3) The bypass capacitor should be attached to the V
CC
pin.
(4) The RF output pin connects parallel inductors of an external LC matching circuit to V
CC
to apply a bias and RF
load.
(5) A DC cut capacitor must be each attached to the input pins and external adjustment of pin voltages is prohibited
for input pins.
