Signal input pin.
A internal matching circuit, configured with resistors, enables 50
Ω
connection over a wide band.
A multi-feedback circuit is designed to cancel the deviations of h
FE
and
resistance.
This pin must be coupled to signal source with capacitor for DC cut.

Ground pin.
This pin should be connected to system ground with minimum
inductance. Ground pattern on the board should be formed as wide as
possible.
All the ground pins must be connected together with wide ground
pattern to decrease impedance defference.
Note
Pin voltage is measured at V
