In order to ensure proper functionality of the AFCT-
5805xxxZ a recommended circuit is provided in Figure
3. When designing the circuit interface, there are a few
fundamental guidelines to follow. For example, in the Rec-
ommended Circuit Schematic figure the differential data
lines should be treated as 50 ohm Microstrip or stripline
transmission lines. This will help to minimize the parasitic
inductance and capacitance effects. Proper termination
of the differential data signals will prevent reflections and
ringing which would compromise the signal fidelity and
generate unwanted electrical noise. Locate termination
at the received signal end of the transmission line. The
length of these lines should be kept short and of equal
length. For the high speed signal lines, differential sig-
nals should be used, not single-ended signals, and these
differential signals need to be loaded symmetrically to
prevent unbalanced currents from flowing which will
cause distortion in the signal.
circuits suppress V noise over a broad frequency range,

this prevents receiver sensitivity degradation due to V

noise. It is recommended that surface-mount compo-
nents be used. Use tantalum capacitors for the 10 µF
capacitors and monolithic, ceramic bypass capacitors for
the 0.1 µF capacitors. Also, it is recommended that a sur-
face- mount coil inductor of 3.3 µH be used. Ferrite beads
can be used to replace the coil inductors when using
quieter V supplies, but a coil inductor is recommended

be placed physically next to the V pins of the receiver

and transmitter. Use a good, uniform ground plane with
a minimum number of holes to provide a low-inductance
ground current return for the power supply currents.
