Pin Description
PIN NAME FUNCTION
1 RFOUT
Transmitter RF Output. This open-collector output requires a pullup inductor to the supply voltage,
which can be part of the output matching network.
2, 10, 11, 16,
17, 3235,
43, 47
N.C. No Connection. Leave these pins open-circuit. Some of these pins are internally connected.
3LOCK
Open-Drain Output Indicating LOCK Status of the IF and/or the RF PLLs. Requires an external
pullup resistor. Control using configuration register bits LD_MODE[1:0].
4V
CCDRV
Power Supply for the RF Driver Stage. Bypass to PC board ground with a capacitor placed as
close to the pin as possible. Do not share capacitor ground vias with other ground connections.
5 IDLE
Digital Input. Drive to logic-high for normal operation. Logic-low on IDLE shuts down everything
except the RF PLL. A small RC lowpass filter can be used to filter digital noise.
6V
CC
Power Supply for the Upconverter Stage. Bypass to PC board ground with a capacitor placed as
close to the pin as possible. Do not share capacitor ground vias with other ground connections.
7 TXGATE
D i g i tal Inp ut. D r i ve to logic-high for nor m al op er ati on. Logic-low on TXG ATE shuts d ow n ever ythi ng
excep t the RF P LL, IF P LL, IF V C O. A sm al l RC l ow p ass can b e used to fi l ter d i g i tal noi se.
8, 9 IFIN+, IFIN-
Differential IF Inputs to the RF Upconverter. IFIN+ and IFIN- are internally biased to typically V
CC
-
1.5V. The input impedance for this port is nominally 400 differential. AC-couple the output of the
differential IF filter to this port. Keep the differential lines as short as possible to minimize the
effects of stray pickup.
12 RBIAS
Bias Resistor Connection. Internally biased to typically 1.18V. An external resistor must be
connected from RBIAS to ground to set the bias current for the upconverters and PA driver
stages. The nominal resistor value is 10k. This value can be altered to optimize the linearity of
the driver stage.
