*Decoupling Impedance is 1 KOhm
The CZ846X Series Amplifiers are designed for application in 50 ohm
systems. Three external capacitors and a decoupling impedance are
required. The decoupling impedance must be large in comparison to
the 50 ohm load to minimize gain reduction. Data sheet curves are
based on the noted decoupling impedance. The external capacitors
determine the low frequency response of the Amplifier.
The CZ846X Series Amplifiers can be cascaded in series of two or
more units without oscillation problems.
