Pin
11
Function
GND4
Description
Ground connection for the RF driver and output stage. Keep traces
physically short and connect immediately to ground plane for best per-
formance. Having a good ground connection on this pin is extremely
important due to the high RF levels in the circuits connected to this pin.
50
RF output. This pin is not internally DC blocked and an external
blocking capacitor of 22pF is needed.

GND3
Ground connection for the RF driver and output stage. Keep traces
physically short and connect immediately to ground plane for best per-
formance. Having a good ground connection on this pin is extremely
important due to the high RF levels in the circuits connected to this pin.
Power supply for the RF output stage. A 33pF external bypass capaci-
tor is required and an optional 0.1
μ
F will be required if no other low fre-
quency bypass capacitors are nearby. The trace length between the pin
and the bypass capacitors should be minimized. The ground side of the
bypass capacitors should connect immediately to ground plane.
Having good bypassing on this pin is especially important because of
the high levels of RF signal on the circuits connected to this pin.

Standby mode control. When this pin is 0V all circuits are turned off,
and when this pin is VDD all circuits are operating. This is a high
impedance input, internally connected to the gate of a few transistors.
To minimize current consumption in power down mode, this pin should
be as close to 0 V as possible, or even a little negative. Turn-on voltage
of some parts of the circuit may be as low as 0.0 V. In order to maxi-
mize output power this pin should be as close to VDD as possible dur-
ing normal operation.
