PIN

NAME

FUNCTION

37, 93

V

REF

+5V Reference Supply. Connect to a low-noise power supply. Bypass to GND with a 0.1µF capacitor
as close as possible to the pins. Note that noise performance of the device is dependent on the noise
contribution from the supply to V

REF

. Use a low-noise supply for V

REF

. V

CC

and V

REF

can be

connected together to share the same supply voltage if the supply for V

CC

exhibits low noise.

38

EXT_RES

External Resistor. Connect a 0.1% 7.5k

Ω resistor to ground as close as possible to the pin to set the

bias for the internal biasing circuitry.

39

CW_VG

CW Mixer VGA Enable. Selects for VGA or CW mixer operation. Set CW_VG to a logic-high to enable
the VGAs while the CW mixers are powered down. Set CW_VG to a logic-low to enable the CW mixers
while the VGAs are powered down.

40

PD

Power-Down Switch. Drive PD high to set the device in power-down mode. Drive PD low for normal
operation.

41

CW_FILTER

CW Filter Mode Corner Frequency Select. Selects in corner frequency of the internal lowpass filter for
the CW path. Set CW_FILTER to a logic-high for a corner frequency of 9.5MHz. Set CW_FILTER to a
logic-low for a corner frequency of 4.5MHz.

43

M4_EN

Mode 4 Enable. Set M4_EN to a logic-high to override the serial port and activate all 8 channels of the
CW path.

44

LOW_PWR

Low-Power Enable. Set high to enable low-power CW mixer mode for the device.

45

DOUT

Serial Port Data Output. Data output for ease of daisy-chaining CW channels for analog beamforming
programming.
