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 (Refer to the following page). CAPACITORS FOR THE VCC, INPUT AND OUTPUT PINS Capacitors of 1 000 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 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 Rfc).

(2) Form a ground pattern as widely as possible to minimize ground impedance (to prevent undesired oscillation). All the ground terminals must be connected together with wide ground pattern to decrease impedance difference. (3) The bypass capacitor should be attached to the VCC line. (4) The inductor (L) must be attached between VCC and output pins. The inductance value should be determined in accordance with desired frequency. (5) The DC cut capacitor must be attached to input and output pin. RECOMMENDED SOLDERING CONDITIONS This product should be soldered and mounted under the following recommended conditions.
