Power Supply Bypassing and Printed Circuit Board

Layout

Strip line design techniques are recommended for the input

and output signal traces. As with any high frequency device, a

good printed circuit board layout is necessary for optimum

performance. Lead lengths should be as short as possible. The

power supply pin must be well bypassed to reduce the risk of

pin is connected to the ground plane, a single 4.7µF tantalum

GND will suffice. This same capacitor combination should be

placed at each supply pin to ground if split-internal supplies are

supply rail.

For good AC performance, parasitic capacitance should be

kept to a minimum. Use of wire-wound resistors should be

avoided because of their additional series inductance. Use of

sockets should also be avoided if possible. Sockets add

parasitic inductance and capacitance can result in

compromised performance. Minimizing parasitic capacitance

at the amplifier's inverting input pin is also very important.
