105697 Eval Board

* Circuit Board Material: Rogers 4350

The circuit board used in the final application should use

RF circuit design techniques. Signal lines should have

50 ohm impedance while the package ground leads

and backside ground slug should be connected directly

to the ground plane similar to that shown. A sufficient

number of via holes should be used to connect the top

and bottom ground planes. The evaluation circuit board

shown is available from Hittite upon request. This evalu-

ation board is designed for single ended input testing. J2

and J3 provide differential output signals.
