PIN NAME FUNCTION
1 CEXT-
Inverting Input Port of VGA2 I/Q Gain Imbalance Correction Circuitry. Connect an
external capacitor between CEXT- and CEXT+ to activate the circuit. Short CEXT- to
CEXT+ to disable.
2 CEXT+
Noninverting Input Port of VGA2 I/Q Gain Imbalance Correction Circuitry. Connect an
external capacitor between CEXT+ and CEXT- to activate the circuit. Short CEXT- to
CEXT+ to disable.

V
CC
Supply Voltage. Bypass V
CC
to GND with capacitors as close to pin as possible.
4 X2_EN
Logic-Level Enable for Doubler Circuitry. Drive logic low to turn on the doubler
(f
LO
= f
RFIN/2
). Drive logic high to bypass the doubler (f
LO
= f
RFIN
).
5, 7, 8, 13, 15,
32, 44, 46
GND Ground. Connect to ground plane with minimal inductance.
6 LNAIN LNA Input. Connect to GND to turn the LNA off. Off-chip 50Ω match required.
9 GAIN_SET
LNA Gain Select Input. Drive logic high to select the high-gain mode. Drive logic low to
select low-gain mode.
10 SHDN Shutdown Control Input. Drive logic low to enable shutdown mode.
11 AGC
Automatic Gain-Control Input for AGC. Bypass this pin with a 1000pF capacitor to
GND to minimize coupling.
14 LNAOUT LNA Output. This pin requires an external pullup inductor and off-chip 50Ω match.
16 MIX_Q
Mixer Q-Channel Baseband Output. Connect external series capacitor to AC-couple
the output to the load.
