3 3 3 VREG
Analog
Input/Output
Regulated voltage output to supply the VCO.
Bypass with a 0.01µF capacitor to GND as
close to the part as possible.
4 4 4 VCC1 Supply Pin
Power supply pin for VCO circuits. Bypass
with a 1000pF and a 10µF capacitor to GND
as close to the part as possible.
5 5 5 RLPF
Analog Input
Resistor to Ground
Resistor to ground on this pin sets the
modulation filter bandwidth.
6 6 6 EN Digital Input
Chip-enable digital input pin. Set EN low
maintain the chip in power-down mode.
7 7 7 REFEN Digital Input
Enable for crystal oscillator and frequency
reference buffer.

9 9 9 OOKIN Digital Input On-off keying modulation. On state = high.
10 10 10 VCC2 Supply
Power supply pin for internal RF buffer
circuits. Bypass with a 100pF and a 0.01µF
capacitor to GND as close to the part as
possible.
