PIN
NAME
FUNCTION
1
CEXT-
Inverting Input Port of VGA2 I/Q Gain Imbalance Correction Circuitry. Connect an
external capacitor between CEXT- and CEXT+ to activate the circuit. Short CEXT- to
CEXT+ to disable.
2
CEXT+
Noninverting Input Port of VGA2 I/Q Gain Imbalance Correction Circuitry. Connect an
external capacitor between CEXT+ and CEXT- to activate the circuit. Short CEXT- to
CEXT+ to disable.
3, 12, 17, 29, 38,
48
V
CC
Supply Voltage. Bypass V
CC
to GND with capacitors as close to pin as possible.
4
X2_EN
Logic-Level Enable for Doubler Circuitry. Drive logic low to turn on the doubler
(f
LO
= f
RFIN/2
). Drive logic high to bypass the doubler (f
LO
= f
RFIN
).
5, 7, 8, 13, 15,
32, 44, 46
GND
Ground. Connect to ground plane with minimal inductance.
6
LNAIN
LNA Input. Connect to GND to turn the LNA off. Off-chip 50
Ω
match required.
9
GAIN_SET
LNA Gain Select Input. Drive logic high to select the high-gain mode. Drive logic low to
select low-gain mode.
10
SHDN
Shutdown Control Input. Drive logic low to enable shutdown mode.
11
AGC
Automatic Gain-Control Input for AGC. Bypass this pin with a 1000pF capacitor to
GND to minimize coupling.
14
LNAOUT
LNA Output. This pin requires an external pullup inductor and off-chip 50
Ω
match.
16
MIX_Q
Mixer Q-Channel Baseband Output. Connect external series capacitor to AC-couple
the output to the load.
18
QIN1+
Noninverting VGA1, Q-Channel Baseband Input
19
QIN1-
Inverting VGA1, Q-Channel Baseband Input
20
DCQ1+
Noninverting Offset Correction Input for Q-Channel VGA1 Amplifier
21
DCQ1-
Inverting Offset Correction Input for Q-Channel VGA1 Amplifier
22
QOUT1
Q-Channel VGA1 Amplifier Baseband Output
23
MIXTNK
Inductive Common-Mode Degeneration Pin for Mixer Stages
24
QIN2+
Noninverting VGA2, Q-Channel Baseband Input
25
QIN2-
Inverting VGA2, Q-Channel Baseband Input
26
DCQ2+
Noninverting Offset Correction Input for Q-Channel VGA2 Amplifier
27
DCQ2-
Inverting Offset Correction Input for Q-Channel VGA2 Amplifier
28
QOUT2
Q-Channel VGA2 Amplifier Baseband Output
30
RFIN+
I/Q Mixers Inverting Input. For narrow frequency bands between 1.8GHz and 2.5GHz,
port must be matched using external matching components.
