PIN CONFIGURATION AND FUNCTION DESCRIPTIONS
NOTES
1. NIC = NOT INTERNALLY CONNECTED. THESE PINS
ARE NOT CONNECTED INTERNALLY; HOWEVER, ALL
DATA SHOWN IN THIS DATA SHEET IS MEASURED
WHEN THESE PINS ARE CONNECTED TO THE RF/DC
GROUND EXTERNALLY.
2. EXPOSED PAD. THE EXPOSED PAD MUST BE
CONNECTED TO THE RF/DC GROUND OF THE PCB.

Pin No. Mnemonic Description
1 RF4 RF4 Port. This pin is dc-coupled and matched to 50 Ω. A dc blocking capacitor is required if the RF line
potential does not equal 0 V dc.
2, 3, 10, 11, 13 NIC Not Internally Connected. These pins are not connected internally; however, all data shown in this data
sheet is measured when these pins are connected to the RF/dc ground externally.
4 RF3 RF3 Port. This pin is dc-coupled and matched to 50 Ω. A dc blocking capacitor is required if the RF line
potential does not equal 0 V dc.
5, 14, 16 GND Ground. These pins connect to the RF/dc ground of the PCB.

Negative Supply Voltage Pin.
7 CTLB Control Input 2 Pin. See Table 4 for the control voltage truth table.
8 CTLA Control Input 1 Pin. See Table 4 for the control voltage truth table.
9 RF2 RF2 Port. This pin is dc-coupled and matched to 50 Ω. A dc blocking capacitor is required if the RF line
potential does not equal 0 V dc.
12 RF1 RF1 Port. This pin is dc-coupled and matched to 50 Ω. A dc blocking capacitor is required if the RF line
potential does not equal 0 V dc.
RF Common Port. This pin is dc-coupled and matched to 50 Ω. A dc blocking capacitor is required if the RF
line potential does not equal 0 V dc.
EPAD Exposed Pad. The exposed pad must be connected to the RF/dc ground of the PCB.
