Pin Number Function Description Interface Schematic
1, 8 GND Pins and exposed ground slug must be
connected to RF ground.
2 LO This pin is AC coupled
and matched to 50 Ohms.
3, 4, 6 N/C
The pins are not connected internally; however, all data shown
herein was measured with these pins connected to RF/DC
ground externally.
5 IF
This pin is DC coupled. For applications not requiring opera-
tion 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/sink more than 4mA of current or die non-
function and possible die failure will result.
7 RF This pin is DC coupled
and matched to 50 Ohms.

Evaluation PCB
The circuit board used in the application should
use RF circuit design techniques. Signal lines sho-
uld have 50 Ohm impedance while the package
ground leads and exposed paddle should be con-
nected directly to the ground plane similar to that
shown. A sufficient number of via holes should be
used to connect the top and bottom ground planes.
The evaluation circuit board shown is available from
Hittite upon request.
