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 PCB design and
operating environment. Careful attention to PCB thermal
design is required.
θ
JA
is the natural convection junction to ambient thermal
resistance measured in a one cubic foot sealed enclosure. θ
JC
is
the junction to case thermal resistance.

RF
Radio Frequency Port. This pin is ac-coupled and matched to 50 Ω. See Figure 6 for the RF interface
schematic.
9 IF1
First Quadrature Intermediate Frequency Port. This pin is dc-coupled. For applications not requiring
operation to dc, dc block this port externally using a series capacitor of a value chosen to pass the
necessary IF frequency range. For operation to dc, these pins must not source or sink more than 2 mA of
current. Otherwise, die malfunction or die failure may result. See Figure 5 for the IFx interface schematic.
11 IF2
Second Quadrature Intermediate Frequency Port. This pin is dc-coupled. For applications not requiring
operation to dc, dc block this port externally using a series capacitor of a value chosen to pass the
necessary IF frequency range. For operation to dc, these pins must not source or sink more than 2 mA of
current. Otherwise, die malfunction or die failure may result. See Figure 5 for the IFx interface schematic.
15 LO
Local Oscillator Port. This pin is ac-coupled and matched to 50 Ω. See Figure 4 for the LO interface
schematic.
EPAD Exposed Pad. The exposed pad must be connected to the GND pin.
