7 Pin Connections
Table 8. Pin Function Description
Pin # Pin Name Type Description Functionality
1 RFIN_M RF Input RF input/output negative. When used with internal T/R switch, this is
a bi-directional RF port for the internal LNA
and PA
2 RFIN_P RF Input RF input/output positive. When used with internal T/R switch, this is
a bi-directional RF port for the internal LNA
and PA
3 CT_Bias Control voltage Bias voltage/control signal for external
RF components
When used with internal T/R switch,
provides RX ground reference and TX
VDDA reference for use with external
balun. Can also be used as a control signal
for external LNA, PA, or T/R switch.
4 NC Tie to Ground.
5 PAO_P RF Output /DC Input RF Power Amplifier Output Positive. Open drain. Connect to VDDA through a
bias network when used with an external
balun. Not used when internal T/R switch is
used.
6 PAO_M RF Output/DC Input RF Power Amplifier Output Negative. Open drain. Connect to VDDA through a
bias network when used with an external
balun. Not used when internal T/R switch is
used.
7 SM Input Test mode pin. Must be grounded for normal operation.
8 GPIO4

Digital Input/ Output General Purpose Input/Output 4. See Footnote 1
9 GPIO3 Digital Input/ Output General Purpose Input/Output 3.
10 GPIO2 Digital Input/ Output General Purpose Input/Output 2.
When gpio_alt_en, Register 9, Bit 7 =
1, GPIO2 functions as a “CRC Valid”
indicator.
11 GPIO1 Digital Input/ Output General Purpose Input/Output 1.
When gpio_alt_en, Register 9, Bit 7 =
1, GPIO1 functions as an “Out of Idle”
indicator.
12 RST Digital Input Active Low Reset. While held low, the
IC is in Off Mode and all internal
information is lost from RAM and SPI
registers. When high, IC goes to IDLE
Mode, with SPI in default state.
