For applications not requiring operation to DC, this port should be DC blocked externally using a series capacitor whose value has been chosen to pass the necessary IF frequency range. For operation to DC, this pin must not source or sink more than 2 mA of current or part non-function and possible part failure will result. 8 RF This pin is DC coupled and matched to 50 Ohm. 10, 11, 12 N/C No connection required. These pins may be connected to RF/ DC ground without affecting performance. Interface Schematic Information furnished by Analog Devices is believed to be accurate and reliable.
