Product Specification
Evaluation Kit Operation
Evaluation Board Description
The PE9303 evaluation board is depicted in
Figure 6. The input is driven into the RF In port
while the divided output is taken at Out 1. Both
input and output contain footprints for AC
coupling capacitors (C3 and C1 respectively).
The power supply connection is provided near
the top of the evaluation board, J2 Pin 1 as
supply, J2 Pin 2 as ground. In addition C2, C5,
and C10 are placeholders for power supply
decoupling capacitors. Placeholders C4, C6, and
C8 are needed for required bypass capacitors.
Note: C4 and C6 are located on the underside
of the evaluation board.
Evaluation Board Test Setup
The PE9303 can be tested on the evaluation
board using the test setup shown in Figure 4. In
the test setup, it is essential that the power
supply is properly decoupled and bypass
capacitors are used for pin 3. In addition, the
input and output need to be AC coupled.
Testing
The PE9303 Evaluation Board was measured
prior to shipment using the setup depicted in
Figure 4. Testing was performed at room
temperature and V_DD = 2.85V.
