3. Components C104 and C125 are bypass capacitors and
should be placed as close as possible to one of the VCC pins, 3
through 6.
Evaluation Board Description
The SKY73078-459LF Evaluation Board is used to test the
performance of the SKY73078-459LF quadrature modulator. An
assembly drawing for the Evaluation Board is shown in Figure 3
and the layer detail is provided in Figure 4. An Evaluation Board
schematic diagram is provided in Figure 5.
Package Dimensions
Package dimensions for the 24-pin QFN are shown in Figure 6,
and tape and reel dimensions are provided in Figure 7.
Circuit Design Configurations
The following design considerations are critical and must be
followed regardless of final use or configuration:
Package and Handling Information
1. Component C106 is an AC ground and should be placed as
close as possible to pin 9 (LON) of the device.
Instructions on the shipping container label regarding exposure to
moisture after the container seal is broken must be followed.
Otherwise, problems related to moisture absorption may occur
when the part is subjected to high temperature during solder
assembly.
2. Components C111 and C121 are bypass capacitors and
should be placed as close as possible to one of the VCC pins,
14 through 18.
