Function Description
Interface Schematic
Supply voltage for the LNA, bias circuits, and control logic. External RF

bypassing is required. The trace length between the pin and the bypass
capacitors should be minimized. The ground side of the bypass capaci-
tors should connect immediately to ground plane.
RF Input pin. This pin is internally matched for optimum noise figure
from a 50Ω source. This pin is internally DC-biased and, if connected
to a device with DC present, should be blocked with a capacitor suit-
able for the frequency of operation.

DRAIN
GATE
Connection to gate of MOSFET transistor used as mixer. Internally
DC-biased. Use DC-blocking capacitor.
Power control. A logic “low” turns the part off. A logic “high” (>1.6V)
turns the part on.
