Function
Description
Interface Schematic
1VCC
Power supply pin. An external bypass capacitor is recommended. The
total supply current is shared between this pin and pin 8 (through the
inductor).
See pin 8.
2GND
Ground connection. Keep traces physically short and connect immedi-
ately to ground plane for best performance.
3GND
Same as pin 2.
4RF IN
RF input pin. This pin is NOT internally DC blocked. A DC blocking
capacitor, suitable for the frequency of operation, should be used in
most applications. DC coupling of the input is not allowed, because this
will override the internal feedback loop and cause temperature instabil-
ity.
See pin 8.
5GND
Same as pin 2.
6GND
Same as pin 2.
7GND
Same as pin 2.
8RF OUT
RF output pin. Because DC is present on this pin, a DC blocking capac-
itor, suitable for the frequency of operation, should be used in most
applications. The DC voltage on this pin is typically 2.4V. Alternatively,
power supply may be connected to this pin. A series resistor and induc-
tor should be used, in which case the L should be large enough to
present a high impedance at the lowest operating frequency, and the R
should be (VCC - 2.4) / I, where I is the desired device current (between
8mA and 20mA).
