The MAX2472/MAX2473 offer high-impedance inputs
ideal for low-distortion buffering of a VCO. For applica-
tions with discrete transistor-based oscillator designs,
simply AC-couple the oscillator directly to the input; the
buffer’s high input impedance results in minimal load-
ing on the oscillator. For use with 50Ω VCO modules,
determine the approximate input impedance (S11) of

the MAX2472/MAX2473 from the S parameter tables in
the Typical Operating Characteristics . Terminate the
buffer input with a shunt resistor “R
R
capacitor between the shunt resistor and the device
input. This provides a very stable 50Ω termination and
increases reverse isolation. For those applications
needing both high gain and good input match, reac-
tively match the buffer inputs to 50Ω with simple two-
element matching circuits. Figure 1 shows an equivalent
input circuit of the MAX2472/MAX2473 IN pin.
The MAX2472/MAX2473 outputs are configured as
open-collector output stages, allowing maximum flexi-
bility. To achieve maximum gain and output drive, reac-
tively match these outputs with a shunt inductor/choke
to V
applications not requiring high gain and output drive
(PLL prescaler), use a simple resistor to V
by a DC blocking capacitor. Figure 2 shows an equiva-
lent circuit of the MAX2472/MAX2473 OUT pin(s).
Figure 3 shows an equivalent circuit of the MAX2473
BIAS pin.
Table 1 lists recommended values for lumped-element
output matching circuits at certain frequencies. For fre-
quencies other than those specified, use the parame-
ters given in the Typical Operating Characteristics .
A properly designed PC board is essential to any
RF/microwave circuit. Be sure to use controlled imped-
ance lines on all high-frequency inputs and outputs.
