support, contact RFMD at (+1) 336-678-5570 or customerservice@rfmd.com.

Note 1: An RC low pass filter could be used on this line to reduce digital noise.

Note 2: If the device is under software control this input can be configured as a general purpose output (GPO).

Note 3: Connect a 51kΩ resistor from this pin to ground, this pin is sensitive to low frequency noise injection.

Note 4: DC voltage should not be applied to this pin. Use either an AC-coupling capacitor as part of lumped element matching

network or a transformer (see evaluation board schematic).

Note 5: This pin must be connected to ANA_VDD2 using an RF choke or a transformer (see application schematic).
