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.
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 Port. This pin is ac-coupled internally and matches to 50 Ω from 4 GHz to 8.5 GHz. See Figure 3 for the RF
interface schematic.
9, 11 IF1, IF2 First and Second Quadrature Intermediate Frequency Input Pins. These pins are dc-coupled. 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 2 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 ac-coupled and matches to 50 Ω. See Figure 4 for the LO interface schematic.
EPAD Exposed Pad. The exposed pad must be connected to the GND pin.
