Function
RESNTR+
Description
This port is used to supply DC voltage to the VCO as well as to tune the
center frequency of the VCO. Equal value inductors should be con-
nected to this pin and pin 31 although a small imbalance can be used
to tune in the proper frequency range.

This pin is used is supply DC bias to the VCO and buffer amps. A 10nF
capacitor is recommended for 10.7MHz IF applications.
GND4 is the ground shared on chip by the VCO, prescaler, and PLL
electronics.
FM analog or digital modulation can be imparted to the VCO through
this pin. The VCO varies in accordance to the voltage level presented
to this pin. To set the deviation to a desired level, a voltage divider refer-
enced to V
CC
is the recommended. This deviation is also dependent
upon the overall capacitance of the external resonant circuit.
This pin is used is supply a buffered VCO output to go to the PLL chip.
This pin has a DC bias and needs to be AC coupled.

Complementary input of LO-.

Ground for LO amp and transmit upconvertor. Keep traces physically
short and immediately to the ground plane for best performance.
The output of the transmit signal upconvertor. This signal should be fil-
tered to remove the undesired sideband and spurs before being applied
to the PA input, pin 45.

This pin is used to supply DC bias to the receiver RF electronics. A RF
bypass capacitor should be connected directly to this pin and returned
to ground. A 100pF capacitor is recommended for 915MHz applica-
tions. A 220pF capacitor is recommended for 433MHz applications.
This pin is used to mute the data output (DATA OUT). MUTE>2.0V
turns the DATA OUT signal on. MUTE<1.0V turns the DATA OUT signal
off. The MUTE signal should be logic low in the Sleep Mode.

MIX CA
Mixer Current Adjust. This pin is used to adjust the current in the
receiver. A resistor connected to ground controls the bias current in the
mixer. The resistor should vary between 1k
to open circuit to vary the
current from 18mA to 10.6mA
