The capacitance value may be determined by customer’s DC supply status. The capacitor should be placed as close as possible to Vs pin and be connected directly to the ground plane for the best electrical performance. DC blocking capacitors are always necessarily placed at the input and output port for allowing only the RF signal to pass and blocking the DC component in the signal. The DC blocking capacitors are included inside the APM module. Therefore, C1 & C2 capacitors may not be necessary, but can be added just in case that the customer wants. The value of C1 & C2 is determined by considering the application frequency. 2) Recommended Soldering Reflow Process Evaluation Board Layout Vs 260°C Ramp-up (3˚C/sec) 200°C 20~40 sec Ramp-down (6°C/sec) IN OUT 150°C 60~180 sec Size 40x40mm (for APM Series – 10x10mm) 4/5 www.asb.co.kr April 2009 plerowTM APM0923-P29 High OIP3 Medium Power Amplifier Module Channel Power vs. ACLR Test Configuration APM0950 – P29 Evaluation Board attached with Heat Sink Evaluation Board * In order to prevent damage of D.U.T (APM-Series) from heating, you must to use a properly sized heat sink for testing a module. 5/5 www.asb.co.kr April 2009
