BFS17A Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
-
A 4-layer PCB with a solid ground plane and a separate power plane is recommended. Keep the input and output tracks as short as possible and use a common mode choke to reduce EMI.
-
The BFS17A requires a bias voltage of 5V to 15V. Ensure the bias voltage is stable and decoupled with a 10uF capacitor to prevent oscillations.
-
The BFS17A can handle up to 2W of power. However, it's recommended to derate the power handling to 1.5W to ensure reliable operation.
-
Use a low-noise bias voltage, ensure a good ground plane, and minimize the length of the input and output tracks. Additionally, use a shielded enclosure to reduce electromagnetic interference.
-
Yes, the BFS17A can be used in a push-pull configuration. However, ensure that the two devices are properly matched and biased to prevent oscillations.
