2 GND 0 – GND pin. Ground pattern on the board should be as wide as possible. Trace length should be kept as short as possible to minimize ground impedance. LO input pin. Recommended input level is -10 to 0 dBm. Supply voltage pin. This pin is the RF output. This pin is designed as an open collector. Due to the high impedance output, this pin requires an external LC matching circuit. Power save control pin. Bias controls operation as follows: Pin Bias VCC GND Control ON Power Save
