Pin Description
PIN NAME FUNCTION
1 N.C. Connect to RF GND on PCB
2 POUT
Transmitter Output. This is an open-collector output and requires a pullup inductor to the supply
voltage. This pullup inductor can be part of the output matching network and can be connected
directly to the battery.
3V
CC
_PA
Supply for the PA Driver. This pin must be bypassed with a capacitor to system ground as close to
the pin as possible. Do not share the ground vias for the bypass capacitor with any other branch (see
the Typical Operating Circuit).
4
BIAS_SET
Bias-Setting Pin. The DC voltage at this pin is a bandgap voltage. For nominal bias, connect a 12k
resistor to ground. The value of this resistor can be adjusted to alter current consumption, linearity,
and noise performance of the RF output.
5 VGC
Gain-Control Pin. Analog input pin controls both the IF VGA and RF VGA gain. When not driven, the
voltage on this pin is typically +1.5V. An RC filter on this pin must be used to filter out DAC noise or
the PDM clock.
6V
CC
_IF
Supply for IF Section. Bypass to system ground with a capacitor as close to the pin as possible. Do
not share the ground vias for the bypass capacitor with any other branch (see the Typical Operating
Circuit).
7V
CC
_BB
Supply for Baseband Section. Bypass to system ground with a capacitor as close to the pin as
possible. Do not share the ground vias for the bypass capacitor with any other branch (see the
Typical Operating Circuit).
8 IDLE
Idle CMOS Digital Input. Drive LOW to place the device in WCDMA compressed mode (VCO and PLL
are ON; all others are OFF). A small RC lowpass filter can be used to minimize the effect of external
digital noise.
9 SHDN
Shutdown CMOS Digital Input. Drive LOW to place the device in shutdown (everything OFF except
serial interface and registers, which retain their values). A small RC lowpass filter can be used to
minimize the effect of external digital noise. A logic-low on the SHDN pin overrides the serial bus
SHDN bit status.
10, 11 I+, I- Differential I-Channel Baseband Inputs to the Baseband Filter
12, 13 Q+, Q- Differential Q-Channel Baseband Inputs to the Baseband Filter
N.C. Leave Open
15 LD Lock CMOS Output. This pin is an open-drain output. Output HIGH indicates the RF PLL is locked.
16 REF
Reference Frequency Input. This pin is internally biased to approximately +1.0V and must be AC-
coupled to the reference source. This is a high-impedance port and can be externally terminated to
the desired impedance.
17 V
CC
_PLL Supply for PLL. Bypass with a capacitor to GND (see the Typical Operating Circuit).
18 V
CC
_CP
Supply for Synthesizer Charge Pump. Bypass with a capacitor to GND (see the Typical Operating
Circuit).
19 RFCP
RF Charge-Pump Output. Connect the RF PLL’s loop filter between RFCP and system ground. Keep
the line from this pin to the tank tune input as short as possible to prevent spurious pickup. Connect
the loop filter as close to the tune input as possible.
