ADC12D1600: Balun / capacitor combination for analog input

Part Number: ADC12D1600


According to SNAA206 "TI Designs High Speed: Verified Design - Schematic and Layout Recommendations for the GSPS ADC" input capacitors of 220nF are needed when using a TC1-1-13MA+ balun from Mini-Circuits. A 'normal' 0402 capacitor has too much series inductance and will reduce the bandwidth to less then 20MHz. RF capacitors are only available up to 100nF.

Are there recommendations of what type of capacitor has to be used?
