PIN NAME FUNCTION
38 EXT_RES
External Resistor. Connect a 0.1% 7.5k resistor to ground as close as possible to the pin to set
the bias for the internal biasing circuitry.
39 CW_VG
CW Mixer VGA Enable. Selects for VGA or CW mixer operation. Set CW_VG to a logic-high to enable
the VGAs while the CW mixers are powered down. Set CW_VG to a logic-low to enable the CW
mixers while the VGAs are powered down.
40 PD
Power-Down Switch. Drive PD high to set the device in power-down mode. Drive PD low for normal
operation.
41 CW_FILTER
CW Filter Mode Corner Frequency Select. Selects in corner frequency of the internal lowpass filter
for the CW path. Set CW_FILTER to a logic-high for a corner frequency of 9.5MHz. Set CW_FILTER
to a logic-low for a corner frequency of 4.5MHz.
43 M4_EN
Mode 4 Enable. Set M4_EN to a logic-high to override the serial port and activate all 8 channels of
the CW path.
44 LOW_PWR Low-Power Enable. Set high to enable low-power CW mixer mode for the device.
45 DOUT
Serial Port Data Output. Data output for ease of daisy-chaining CW channels for analog beam-
forming programming.
47 N.C.
No Connect. Leave this pin unconnected (this pin is the TEST_MODE pin called out in the
MAX2036 EV kit data sheet).

62 VG_CTL-
63 VG_CTL+
VGA Analog Gain Control Differential Input. Set the differential to -2V for maximum gain (+39.5dB)
and +2V for minimum gain (-10.5dB).
64 LO_LVDS- CW LVDS LO Inverting Differential Input. LO clock inverting input for modes 1 and 2.
65 LO_LVDS+ CW LVDS LO Noninverting Differential Input. LO clock noninverting input for modes 1 and 2.
66 LO4 CW LO Input for Channel 4. LO clock input for modes 3 and 4.
67 VGOUT4+ VGA Channel 4 Noninverting Differential Output
68 VGOUT4- VGA Channel 4 Inverting Differential Output
69 LO3 CW LO Input for Channel 3. LO clock input for modes 3 and 4.
70 VGOUT3+ VGA Channel 3 Noninverting Differential Output
71 VGOUT3- VGA Channel 3 Inverting Differential Output
73 LO2 CW LO Input for Channel 2. LO clock input for modes 3 and 4.
74 VGOUT2+ VGA Channel 2 Noninverting Differential Output
