Description
Interface Schematic

I OUT
Demodulated baseband I output. The reference DC level of this pin is
set by the voltage of pin 9 (REF IN), which is connected to this pin
through a 5k
Ω resistor to the collectors of this push-pull output. This
results in an output impedance of 5k
Ω if the REF IN pin is connected to
a low impedance source. The capacitance of the load determines the
maximum baseband frequency. A very low capacitive load may stretch
the 3dB bandwidth over 10MHz. Another way to increase bandwidth is
by connecting a shunt resistor. This will trade gain for bandwidth.
See pin 8.
11
GND
Same as pin 2.
12
PD
Power down control. When this pin is "low", all circuits are shut off. A
"low" is typically 0.8V or less at room temperature. When this pin is
"high", all circuits are operating normally.
13
VCC
Power supply pin. An external 100nF bypass capacitor is recom-
mended if no other bypass capacitor is nearby.
14
IF IN-
Balanced IF input. An input level of 400mVPP gives full output swing; a
level of maximum 250mVPP is recommended for linear operation. This
pin has no internal DC block and an external capacitor of 100nF is
needed if connected to a DC path. If the IF is driven by a single-ended
source, connect this pin to an 100nF capacitor to ground.
