Proper care in changing voltage gain
An external resistor can be connected in series with the feedback capacitor at pin 2 to reduce the voltage gain.
(See RNF-VG characteristic.)
IC usage notes
1.
Maximum ratings
If the IC is used in the vicinity of the maximum ratings, even a slight variation in conditions may cause the maximum ratings
to be exceeded, thereby leading to breakdown. Allow an ample margin of variation for supply voltage, etc. and use the IC in
the range where the maximum ratings are not exceeded.
2.
Pin-to-pin short
If power is applied when the space between pins is shorted, breakdown or deterioration may occur. When mounting the IC on
the board or applying power, make sure that the space between pins is not shorted with solder, etc.
3.
Radio applications
For use in radio applications, keep a good distance between IC and bar antenna.
4.
Printed circuit pattern
When designing the printed circuit pattern, make the power supply, output, and ground lines thicker and shorter and
determine the pattern and parts placement so that no feedback loop is formed between input and output. Place power

as close to the IC pin as possible to prevent oscillation from occurring.

It is recommended to use a polyester film capacitor being good in

Decoupling capacitor
Serves to reject ripple. The starting time depends on this capacitor.
Increasing the capacitor value makes the starting time later.

Power capacitor
Place as close to the power pin of the IC as possible.

Input bias resistor
Serves to apply input bias. The input impedance almost entirely
depends on this resistor value. If a variable resistor also serves for this
purpose, this resistor can be omitted. In this case, it is recommended
to use a resistor of 30 k
.
