C bus and the VGA or driving source should be implemented. Two suggested components that can be used to
achieve this is by using either a dual N-channel transistor like Fairchild Semiconductor’s NDC7002N or the Philips
GTL2010 High Speed Bus Switch. Refer to Figure 16 for a schematic example using a dual N-channel transistor

Voltage Ripple Regulation
The power supply to PVCC is very important to the proper operation of the Transmitter chips. PVCC does not
draw much current so any voltage regulator that can supply 50mA or more is sufficient. Two suggested voltage
regulators are TL431 from Texas Instruments or LM317 from National Semiconductor. Two examples are shown
in Figure 18 and Figure 19

Decoupling Capacitors
Designers should include decoupling and bypass capacitors at each power pin in the layout. These are shown
schematically in Figure 21. Place these components as closely as possible to the SiI 164 pins, and avoid routing
through vias if possible, as shown in Figure 20, which is representative of the various types of power pins on the
transmitter.

The values shown in Table 7 are recommendations that should be adjusted according to the noise characteristics
of the specific board-level design. Pins in one group (such as VCC) may share C2, L1, and C3, each pin having
C1 placed as closely to the pin as possible.
