CAPACITORS FOR THE V
CC
, INPUT AND OUTPUT PINS
Capacitors of 1 000 pF are recommendable as the bypass capacitor for the V
CC
pin and the coupling capacitors for
the input and output pins.
The bypass capacitor connected to the V
CC
pin is used to minimize ground impedance of V
CC
pin. So, stable bias
can be supplied against V
CC
fluctuation.
The coupling capacitors, connected to the input and output pins, are used to cut the DC and minimize RF serial
impedance. Their capacitances are therefore selected as lower impedance against a 50
load. The capacitors thus
perform as high pass filters, suppressing low frequencies to DC.
