CAPACITORS FOR THE 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 pins 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 a 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 πfZs).]

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 attached to input and output pin.
