P-P
linear output.
RXQ DATA
Logic-level data output for the quadrature channel. This is a digital out-
put signal obtained from the output of a Schmitt trigger.
0.3V to VCC3 - 0.3V swing minimum.
NC
No internal connection. May be grounded or connected on adjacent
signal or left floating. Connect to ground for best results.

Description
No internal connection. May be grounded or connected on adjacent
signal or left floating. Connect to ground for best results.
Input to the power amplifier stage. This is a 50
input. Requires DC
blocking/tuning cap.
No internal connection. May be grounded or connected on adjacent
signal or left floating. Connect to ground for best results.
Supply for the RF LO buffer, RF upconverter and amplifier.

RF LO
Single ended LO input for the transmit upconverter. External matching
to 50
and a DC block are required.
Upconverted Transmit signal. This 50
output is intended to drive an
RF filter to suppress the undesired sideband, harmonics, and other out-
of-band mixer products.
The inverting open collector output of the quadrature modulator. This
pin needs to be externally biased and DC isolated from other parts of
the circuit. This output can drive a Balun with IF1 OUT+, to convert to
unbalanced to drive a SAW filter. The Balun can be either broadband
(transformer) or narrowband (discrete LC matching). Alternatively, just
IF1 OUT+ can be used to drive a SAW single-ended with an RF choke
(high Z at IF) from V
CC
to IF1 OUT-.
No internal connection. May be grounded or connected on adjacent
signal or left floating. Connect to ground for best results.
The non-inverting open collector output of the quadrature modulator.
This pin needs to be externally biased and DC isolated from other parts
of the circuit. This output can drive a Balun with IF1 OUT-, to convert to
unbalanced to drive a SAW filter. The Balun can be either broadband
(transformer) or narrowband (discrete LC matching). Alternatively, just
IF1 OUT+ can be used to drive a SAW single-ended with an RF choke
(high Z at IF) from V
CC
to IF1 OUT+.
This is the in-phase modulator bypass pin. A 10nF capacitor to ground
is recommended.
I input to the baseband 5 pole Bessel LPF for the transmit modulator.
