BFR520 Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
-
The recommended operating voltage range for the BFR520 is 4.5V to 5.5V, with a typical voltage of 5V.
-
To ensure proper biasing, connect the VCC pin to a stable 5V power supply, and decouple it with a 100nF capacitor to ground. Also, ensure the input signal is properly terminated and matched to the device's input impedance.
-
The BFR520 can handle input powers up to +15dBm (31.6mW) without damage. However, for optimal performance, it's recommended to keep the input power below +10dBm (10mW).
-
To minimize noise and oscillations, ensure proper grounding and decoupling of the device, use a low-noise power supply, and keep the input signal well-matched to the device's input impedance. Additionally, use a shielded enclosure and keep the device away from other noise sources.
-
The typical current consumption of the BFR520 is around 10mA, but this can vary depending on the operating frequency, input power, and other factors.
