PRODUCTION DATA
In the single-ended input configuration, one of the amplifier input pins is driven from a source while the other input is terminated with an external resistor. Figure 8-1 shows a dc-coupled, single-ended input configuration driven from and matched to a 50Ω source. Figure 8-1 shows how the non-driven INM pin is terminated with an external resistor to match to a source with the same 50Ω impedance at the INP pin.
RIN_SER in Figure 8-1 is typically 0Ω, and RTERM 50Ω. The performance curves shown in Section 6.9 are with input de-embedded up to device input pin, and output de-embedded up to device output pins. Hence, Sss11 shown in Section 6.9 represents input return loss looking into the amplifier input. The input return loss (Sss11) looking into RIN_SER can be improved by increasing the value of RIN_SER to 5Ω and RTERM to 55Ω. This improvement is shown in Figure 8-3, with a marginal trade-off in frequency flatness and noise figure as shown in Figure 8-2 and Figure 8-4 respectively.
| At TA = 25℃, VS = 5V, input de-embedded up to RIN_SER |
| At TA = 25℃, VS = 5V, input de-embedded up to RIN_SER |
| At TA = 25℃, VS = 5V, input de-embedded up to RIN_SER |
Figure 8-5 shows how to configure the design in Figure 8-1 for single-ended, ac-coupled input by adding ac-coupling capacitors in series at the input and output.
