RF GND
(pin 2)
PCB level
30.48 mm
RF ground pin, internally connected
to the module screen and pin 4 (0V).
This pin should be connected to the
RF return path (coax braid, main PCB
ground plane etc.)

RSSI
(pin 3)
Received signal strength indicator with 60dB range. See page 4 for typical characteristics.
0V
(pin 4)
DC supply ground. Internally connected to pin 2 and module screen.
Vcc
(pin 5)
+2.7V to +16.0V DC supply. Max ripple content 0.1Vp-p. Decoupling is not generally required.
AF out
(pin 6)
Buffered and filtered analogue output from the FM demodulator. Standing DC bias 1.1V approx.
External load should be >10k // <100pF.
RXD
(pin 7)
Digital output from the internal data slicer. The data is a squared version of the signal on pin 6
(AF) and is true data, i.e. as fed to the transmitter. Output is “open-collector” format with
internal 10k pull-up to Vcc (pin 5).
