PIN EXPLANATION
Applied Voltage (V) − Pin Voltage Note (V) 1.4
Pin No. 1
Pin Name IFinput
Function and Explanation
Equivalent Circuit
This pin is IF input to double balanced mixer (DBM). The input is designed as high impedance. The circuit contributes to suppress spurious signal. Also this symmetrical circuit can keep specified performance insensitive to process-condition distribution. For above reason, double balanced mixer is adopted. GND pin. Ground pattern on the board should be formed as wide as possible. Track Length should be kept as short as possible to minimize ground impedance. Local input pin. Recommendable input level is −10 to 0 dBm. Supply voltage pin. This pin is RF output from DBM. This pin is designed as open collector. Due to the high impedance output, this pin should be externally equipped with LC matching circuit to next stage. Power save control pin. Bias controls operation as follows. Pin bias VCC GND Control

NOTE ON CORRECT USE
(1) Observe precautions for handling because of electrostatic sensitive devices. (2) Form a ground pattern as wide as possible to keep the minimum ground impedance (to prevent undesired oscillation). (3) Connect a bypass capacitor (example: 1 000 pF) to the VCC pin. (4) Connect a matching circuit to the RF output pin. (5) The DC cut capacitor must be each attached to the input and output pins.
