PIN NAME FUNCTION
1 ENABLE Enable Input. Internally pulled down to ground. Set V
ENABLE
= V
DD
for normal operation.
2 XTAL2
Crystal Input 2. Connect an external crystal from XTAL2 to XTAL1. Bypass to GND if XTAL1 is driven
from an AC-coupled external reference (see the Crystal Oscillator section).
3 XTAL1
Crystal Input 1. Connect an external crystal from XTAL2 to XTAL1. Can also be driven with an AC-
coupled external reference oscillator (see the Crystal Oscillator section).
4 AVDD
Positive Analog Supply Voltage. Connect to DVDD. Bypass to GND with a 0.1μF capacitor as close as
possible to the device (see the Typical Application Circuit). For 5.0V operation, AVDD is internally
connected to an on-chip 3.2V LDO regulator. For 3.3V operation, connect AVDD to V
DD
.
5 LNAIN Low-Noise Amplifier Input. Must be AC-coupled (see the Low-Noise Amplifier section).
6 LNAOUT
Low-Noise Amplifier Output. Must be connected to AVDD through a parallel LC tank circuit. AC-
couple to MIXIN2 (see the Low-Noise Amplifier section).
7 MIXIN2
2nd Differential Mixer Input. Connect to the LNAOUT side of the LC tank filter through a 100pF
capacitor (see the Typical Application Circuit).
8 MIXIN1
1st Differential Mixer Input. Connect to the AVDD side of the LC tank filter through a 100pF capacitor
(see the Typical Application Circuit).

12 DVDD
Positive Digital Supply Voltage Input. Connect to AVDD. Bypass to GND with a 0.01μF capacitor as
close as possible to the device (see the Typical Application Circuit).
