List of Materials for the Evaluation PCB The PCB used in this application must use RF circuit design EV1HMC788ALP21 techniques. Signal lines must have 50 Ω impedance while the ItemDescription package ground leads and exposed pad must be connected J1 to J2 PCB mount Subminiature Version A (SMA) connector directly to the ground plane similar to that shown in Figure 19. J5, J6 DC pin A sufficient number of via holes must be used to connect the top C1, C2 0.01 μF capacitor, 0502 package and bottom ground planes. The EV1HMC788ALP2 evaluation C3 100 pF capacitor, 0402 package board must be mounted to an appropriate heat sink. C4 2.2 μF Case A package R1 0 Ω resistor, 0402 package Figure 18 shows the schematic of the EV1HMC788ALP2 L1 Inductor, conical 6.35 μH, P/N CC75T38K240G5 evaluation board. The board is powered by a single supply between (Piconics) 4.5 V and 5.5 V and is decoupled by a 2.2 µF capacitor and a U1 HMC788ALP2E 100 pF capacitor. DC blocking capacitors are instal ed at the RFIN PCB2 129549 evaluation PCB and RFOUT ports. Note that inductor L1 is a required component to 1 Reference this number when ordering the complete evaluation PCB. apply the VCC = 5 V bias to the RFOUT pin. 2 The circuit board material is Rogers 4350.
