Stresses at or above those listed under Absolute Maximum
Ratings may cause permanent damage to the product. This is a
stress rating only; functional operation of the product at these
or any other conditions above those indicated in the operational
section of this specification is not implied. Operation beyond
the maximum operating conditions for extended periods may
affect product reliability.
THERMAL RESISTANCE
Thermal performance is directly linked to printed circuit board
(PCB) design and operating environment. Careful attention to
PCB thermal design is required.

4 RF RF Port. This pin is ac-coupled internally and matched to 50 Ω. See Figure 3 for the RF interface schematic.
9, 11 IF1, IF2
First and Second Quadrature Intermediate Frequency Input Pins. For applications that do not require
operation to dc, use an off-chip dc blocking capacitor. For applications that require operation to dc,
these pins must not source or sink more than 12 mA of current because the device may not function
or possible device failure may result. See Figure 5 and Figure 6 for the IF1 and IF2 interface schematics.
15 LO
Local Oscillator Port. This pin is dc-coupled and matched to 50 Ω. See Figure 4 for the LO interface
schematic.
EPAD Exposed Pad. The exposed pad must be connected to pin GND.
