Pin description:
RF GROUND (pins 2)
RF ground, internally connected to the module screen and pin 3 (0V). These pins should be directly
connected to the RF return path - e.g. coax braid, main PCB ground plane etc.
RF OUT
(pin 1)
50Ω RF output to the antenna. Internally DC-isolated. See antenna section of apps notes for details of
suitable antennas.
VCC
(pin 5)
+2.2V to +4V DC supply. Max ripple content 0.1VP-P
.
GROUND
(pin 3)
DC supply ground. Internally connected to pins 2 & 3.
DATA (pin 4)
DC-coupled modulation input. Accepts serial digital data at 0V to 4V levels.
