Pin Function Descriptions Pin No.Mnemonic Description 1, 4, 6 NIC Not Internally Connected. The pins are not connected internally; however, all data shown herein was measured with these pins connected to GND externally. 2 RFIN RF Input. This pin is dc-coupled and ac matched to 50 Ω. An external dc blocking capacitor is required on this pin. 3 GND Ground. This pin must be connected to ground. 5 RFOUT RF Output. This pin is ac matched to 50 Ω and supplies dc bias for the output stage. EPAD Exposed Pad. The exposed pad must be connected to GND for proper operation.
