Pin Function Descriptions Pin No.Mnemonic Description 1, 3, 10, 20, 23, 24, GND Ground. The exposed paddle (EP) and ground pins must be soldered to a low impedance ground plane. 25, 27, 29, 31, EP 2 RFIN1 RF Input. This pin requires a dc blocking capacitor. Use a 100 pF capacitor for normal operation. 4, 5, 7, 8, 9, 12, NIC No Internal Connection. These pins are not connected to internal circuitry. The user may optionally solder 14, 17, 19, 22 to a low impedance ground plane for grounding, shielding, and printed circuit board (PCB) trace impedance continuity. 6 VSW1 Bypass Switch Control. Logic low = 0 V, and logic high = 3.3 V. Switch logic is shown in Table 5. 11 VPOS1 Bias for the AMP2 LNA. Connect this pin to the dc supply voltage through an RF choke. 13 VSW1 Bypass Switch Control. Logic low = 0 V, and logic high = 3.3 V. Switch logic is shown in Table 5. 15 VGAIN1 Gain Control for VVA1. The gain control range is 0 V to 3.3 V. 16 VGAIN2 Gain Control VVA2. The gain control range is 0 V to 3.3 V. 18 RFOUT2 RF Output of the Voltage Variable Attenuator (VVA) Block. 21 RFIN3 Driver Amplifier Input. This pin requires a dc blocking capacitor. Use a 100 pF capacitor for normal operation. 26 RFOUT3 Driver Amplifier Output. Connect this pin to a dc supply through an RF choke. 28 VPOS2 Bias for VVA1, VVA2, and the AMP3 Bias Circuit. Connect this pin to the dc supply voltage through an RF choke. 30 RFIN2 RF Input to the VGA Block. 32 RFOUT1 Low Noise Amplifier Output. Connect this pin to a dc supply through an RF choke. Rev.
