front-end. The IC contains all of the required components  
to implement the RF functions of the receiver except for  
the passive filtering and LO generation. It contains an  
LNA (low-noise amplifier), a second RF amplifier, a dual-  
gate GaAs FET mixer, and an IF output buffer amplifier  
which will drive a 50Ω load. In addition, the IF buffer  
amplifier may be disabled and a high impedance output is  
provided for easy matching to IF filters with high imped-  
ances. The output of the LNA is made available as an  
output to permit the insertion of a bandpass filter between  
the LNA and the RF/Mixer section. The LNA section may  
be disabled by removing the VDD1 connection to the IC.

Pin  
1
Function Description  
Interface Schematic  
A series 10nH matching inductor is necessary to achieve specified gain  
LNA IN  
and noise figure at 900MHz. This pin is NOT internally DC-blocked. An  
external blocking capacitor must be provided if the pin is connected to a  
device with DC present. A DC path to ground (i.e. an inductor or resis-  
tor to ground) is, however, acceptable at this pin. If a blocking capacitor  
is required, a value of 22pF is recommended.  
LNA IN  
Ground connection. Keep traces physically short and connect immedi-  
ately to ground plane for best performance.  
2
3
GND  
Supply Voltage for the LNA only. A 22pF external bypass capacitor is  
required and an additional 0.01μF is required if no other low frequency  
bypass capacitors are near by. 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.  
VDD1  
For large input signals, VDD1 may be disconnected, resulting in the  
LNA’s gain changing from +11dB to -26dB and current drain decreas-  
ing by 4mA. If the LNA is never required for use, then this pin can be  
left unconnected or grounded, and Pin 11 is used as the first input.  
Power supply for the IF buffer amplifier. If the high impedance mixer  
output is being used, then this pin is not connected.  
4
5
VDD2  
If this pin is connected to ground, an internal 10pF capacitor is con-  
nected in parallel with the mixer output. This capacitor functions as an  
LO trap, which reduces the amount of LO to IF bleed-through and pre-  
vents high LO voltages at the mixer output from degrading the mixer’s  
dynamic range. At higher IF frequencies, this capacitance, along with  
parasitic layout capacitance, should be parallel resonated out by the  
choice of the bias inductor value at pin 7. If the internal capacitor is not  
connected to ground, the buffer amplifier could become unstable. A  
~10pF capacitor should be added at the output to maintain the buffer’s  
stability, but the gain will not be significantly affected.  
IF BYP  
50Ω buffered (open source) output port, one of two output options. Pin  
6
7
IF2 OUT  
IF1 OUT  
7 must have a bias resistor to V and pin 6 must have a bias resistor  
DD  
IF2 OUT  
to ground (see Buffered Output Application Schematic) in order to turn  
the buffer amplifier on. Current drain will increase by approximately  
8mA at 5V, and by approximately 5mA at 3V. It is recommended that  
these bias resistors be less than 1kΩ.  
High impedance (open drain) output port, one of two output options.  
This pin must be connected to V through a resistor or inductor in  
DD  
order to bias the mixer, even when using IF2 Output. In addition, a  
0.01μF bypass capacitor is required at the other end of the bias resistor  
or inductor. The ground side of the bypass capacitor should connect  
immediately to ground plane. This output is intended to drive high  
impedance IF filters. The recommended matching network is shunt L,  
series C (see the application schematic, high impedance output). This  
topology will provide matching, bias, and DC-blocking.  
IF1 OUT  
Mixer LO input. A high-pass matching network, such as a single shunt  
inductor (as shown in the application schematics), is the recommended  
topology because it also rejects IF noise at the mixer input. This filtering  
is required to achieve the specified noise figures. This pin is NOT inter-  
nally DC-blocked. An external blocking capacitor must be provided if  
the pin is connected to a device with DC present. A DC path to ground  
(i.e. an inductor or resistor to ground) is, however, acceptable at this  
pin. If a blocking capacitor is required, a value of 22pF is recom-  
mended.

LO IN  
LO IN  
Connection for the external bypass capacitor for the mixer RF input  
preamp. 1000pF is recommended. The trace length between the pin  
and the capacitor should be minimized. The ground side of the bypass  
capacitor should connect immediately to ground plane.

GND  
Mixer RF Input port. For a 50Ω match at 900MHz use a 15nH series  
inductor. This pin is NOT internally DC-blocked. An external blocking  
capacitor must be provided if the pin is connected to a device with DC  
present. A DC path to ground (i.e. an inductor or resistor to ground) is,  
however, acceptable at this pin. If a blocking capacitor is required, a  
value of 22pF is recommended.To minimize the mixer’s noise figure, it  
is recommended to have a RF bandpass filter before this input. This will  
prevent the noise at the image frequency from being converted to the  
IF.

L1 and C1 are picked to match the mixer's output impedance (4 kΩ II 10 pF) to the IF  
filter's impedance, at the IF frequency. C1 also serves as a DC block, in case the IF filter  
is not an open circuit at DC.

R1 and R2 are bias resistors that set the bias current for the buffer  
amplifier. The value recommended is 510 W, each. Higher values  
will decrease the current consumption but also decrease the output  
level at which voltage clipping begins to occur. At lower IF  
frequencies, where the internal 10 pF capacitor does not roll off the  
conversion gain, L1 may be eliminated.  
C1 is a blocking capacitor, in case the IF filter's input is not an open  
circuit at DC.
