■ Usage Notes
1) Depending on the maximum application output power, external heatsink may be needed.
External heatsink should be fixed to the chassis.
2) Fin of the IC can be connected to GND.
3) Please prevent output to VCC short and output to GND short.
4) The temperature protection circuit will operate at Tj around 150 °C. However, if the temperature decreases, the
protection circuit would automatically be deactivated and resume normal operation.

2.Application Note
1) Voltage gain
The voltage gain of the AN5273 can be varied by changing the resistor R2 as shown below :

GVI Pin7,12 R1 is always fixed at 20 kΩ.

R2 is variable.
GV input= 4 dB Pin8 GVO = 20 log (R1/R2)
which is fixed in 11 R1
internal circuit. Typical values are : R1 = 20 kΩ, R2 = 1 kΩ

CNF = 10 µF GVO = 20 log (20 k/1 k)

= 26 dB
R2
GVTOTAL = GVI + GVO
= 4 dB + 26 dB
= 30 dB
2) DC volume control
The DC volume control range is 0 V to 5 V. This range is used in order to be easily controlled by micro-computer
using PWM output. The recommended circuit and volume attenuation characteristic are shown below :

3) Mute control
Mute is ON when 5 V is applied to Pin1. Then Q1 would turn ON and able to drive other part of the circuits. The
external RC components provide a time constant for switching ON and OFF.

4) Oscillation
To prevent oscillation, it is advisable to use RC (Zobel network) at output. C of polyester film capacitor has smaller
characteristic fluctuation with temperature and frequency. The resistor R connected in series with C is effective for
phase correction at high frequency, and as a result, it improves the oscillation allowance.

Turn ON Turn OFF

time time

The turn ON time in the AN5273 is determined by the capacitance value of CRF. If value of the CRF is smaller, VO
will turn ON faster.
The turn OFF time is dependent on the capacitance value of CVCC. Pop-noise would occur when VCC voltage
declines faster than RF voltage. To solve this, increase the discharge time of VCC by increasing the capacitance
values of CVCC.
The recommended values of capacitance for CVCC and CRF are shown below :

6) Stand-by circuit
Stand-by function can be implemented in the AN5273 by external solution. It is realised by pulling the RF voltage
to low and output voltage would follow RF as shown in the diagram.
