PRODUCTION DATA.
Whenever questions about layout arise, use the evaluation board LMH730276 as a guide. To reduce parasitic capacitances, ground and power planes should be removed near the input and output pins. For long signal paths controlled impedance lines should be used, along with impedance matching elements at both ends. Bypass capacitors should be placed as close to the device as possible. Bypass capacitors from each rail to ground are applied in pairs. The larger electrolytic bypass capacitors can be located farther from the device, the smaller ceramic capacitors should be placed as close to the device as possible. In the Functional Block Diagram, the capacitor between V+ and V− is optional, but is recommended for best second harmonic distortion. Another way to enhance performance is to use pairs of 0.01 μF and 0.1 μF ceramic capacitors for each supply bypass.
