Function
Description
Interface Schematic
1RF OUT
RF output pin. This pin is DC-coupled and requires VCC throughabias
inductor sized accordingly to provide a high pass transformation with a
series capacitor.
2GND
Ground connection. For best performance, keep traces physically short
and connect immediately to ground plane.
3GC
Analog gain control pin. This pin controls the gain of the IC. Minimum
gain occurs at VGC<0.4V and maximum gain is achieved with
VGC=2.0V. 50dB of linear gain control with little variation of input P1dB
is available.
4RF IN
RF input pin. This pin is DC-coupled.
5GND
Ground connection. For best performance, keep traces physically short
and connect immediately to ground plane.
6VCC
Power supply. This pin should be connected to a regulated supply and
requires a series inductor and bypass capacitor. Voltage is supplied
through this pin to the first stage collector; this voltage also controls the
bias. Gain may be tuned by adjusting the value of the feed inductor.
