The recommended PCB layout for the CLY2 involves using a 50-ohm microstrip transmission line, with the device mounted on a 0.5 mm thick FR4 substrate. The input and output pads should be connected to the microstrip lines using 0.5 mm wide and 0.2 mm thick copper traces. Additionally, a 10 nF capacitor should be placed between the VCC pin and ground to filter out noise.
To ensure proper biasing, the CLY2 requires a voltage supply of 5V ± 0.5V, with a current limit of 100 mA. The device should be biased using a voltage divider network, with a 1 kΩ resistor connected between the VCC pin and the voltage supply, and a 2 kΩ resistor connected between the VCC pin and ground. This will provide a stable bias voltage of 2.5V.
The CLY2 has a maximum power handling capability of 30 dBm (1W) at 2 GHz, with a maximum input power of 20 dBm (0.1W) at 1 GHz. Exceeding these power levels may result in device damage or degradation.
Common issues with the CLY2 can be troubleshooted by checking the PCB layout for any defects or mismatches, ensuring proper biasing and power supply, and verifying the input and output impedance matching. Additionally, checking for any signs of physical damage, such as cracks or corrosion, and ensuring proper handling and storage of the device can also help identify and resolve issues.
Yes, the CLY2 has a maximum operating temperature of 85°C, and a maximum storage temperature of 150°C. To ensure reliable operation, the device should be mounted on a heat sink or a thermally conductive substrate, and the ambient temperature should be kept below 70°C. Additionally, the device should be handled and stored in a clean, dry environment to prevent moisture damage.
