The CZ82X0 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 recponse of the Amplifier.

The CZ82X0 Series Amplifiers can be cascaded in series of two or

more units without oscillation problems.
