AD8350APPLICATIONSCLACCS/2ACLS/2Using the AD8350 Figure 1 shows the basic connections for operating the AD8350. 8765R A single supply in the range 5 V to 10 V is required. The power S/2AD8350 supply pin should be decoupled using a 0.1 μF capacitor. The C–PCP ENBL pin is tied to the positive supply or to 5 V (when V VSRLOAD CC = + 10 V) for normal operation and should be pulled to ground to put the device in sleep mode. Both the inputs and the outputs RS/21234 have dc bias levels at midsupply and should be ac-coupled. Also shown in Figure 1 are the impedance balancing requirements, LS/2CLS/2ACCAC either resistive or reactive, of the input and output. With an 0.1F input and output impedance of 200 Ω, the AD8350 should be ENBL (5V) driven by a 200 Ω source and loaded by a 200 Ω impedance. A +VS (5V TO 10V) reactive match can also be implemented.

The unused input should be ac-coupled to ground. When the source impedance is smaller than the load impedance, When driven single-endedly, there will be a slight imbalance in a step-up matching network is required.

For purely the second order harmonic distortion (at 50 MHz, with V resistive source and load impedances the resonant approach may CC = 10 V and V be used. The input and output impedance of the AD8350 can be OUT = 1 V p-p, –59 dBc was measured for the second harmonic on AD8350-15). modeled as a real 200 Ω resistance for operating frequencies less than 100 MHz. For signal frequencies exceeding 100 MHz, classi- LOAD cal Smith Chart matching techniques should be invoked in order to deal with the complex impedance relationships.

The AD8350 has a nominal 200 Ω input resistance from Pins 1 to 8. The reactance 1234 of the ac-coupling capacitors, CAC, should be negligible if 100 nF SOURCE capacitors are used and the lowest signal frequency is greater Z = 200C1C3 than 1 MHz.
