TEST CIRCUIT VCC 1 000 pf C3 6 L 50 Ω IN C1 1 4 C2 1 000 pf 1 000 pf 50 Ω OUT 2, 3, 5 COMPONENTS OF TEST CIRCUIT FOR MEASURING ELECTRICAL CHARACTERISTICS EXAMPLE OF ACTURAL APPLICATION COMPONENTS Type Value Type Value Operating Frequency C3 Capacitor 1 000 pf C1 to C3 Chip Capacitor 1 000 pf 100 MHz or higher L Bias Tee 1 000 nh L Chip Inductor 300 nh 10 MHz or higher C1 to C2 Bias Tee 1 000 pf 100 nh 100 MHz or higher 10 nh 1.0 GHz or higher INDUCTOR FOR THE OUTPUT PIN The internal output transistor of this IC consumes 20 ma, to output medium power. To supply current for output transistor, connect an inductor between the VCC pin (pin 6) and output pin (pin 4). Select large value inductance, as 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 make 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 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 capacitance 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). 6 Data Sheet P12426EJ3V1DS00

NEC devices are classified into the following three quality grades: "Standard", "Special", and "Specific". The Specific quality grade applies only to devices developed based on a customer designated "quality assurance program" for a specific application. The recommended applications of a device depend on its quality grade, as indicated below. Customers must check the quality grade of each device before using it in a particular application. Standard: Computers, office equipment, communications equipment, test and measurement equipment, audio and visual equipment, home electronic appliances, machine tools, personal electronic equipment and industrial robots Special: Transportation equipment (automobiles, trains, ships, etc.), traffic control systems, anti-disaster systems, anti-crime systems, safety equipment and medical equipment (not specifically designed for life support) Specific: Aircraft, aerospace equipment, submersible repeaters, nuclear reactor control systems, life support systems or medical equipment for life support, etc. The quality grade of NEC devices is "Standard" unless otherwise specified in NEC's Data Sheets or Data Books. If customers intend to use NEC devices for applications other than those specified for Standard quality grade, they should contact an NEC sales representative in advance. M7 98. 8
