Power Ground; both pins must be tied together.
Positive Supply Voltage
Selects the RF detector input (VfA or VfB) and the corresponding output
amplifier (Out_A or Out_B) enabled when the Tx_En is HIGH. The
compensation is also connected to the correct amplifier automatically.
A HIGH input enables Out_A.
A LOW input enables Out_B.
The other unselected output is held close to GND.
A HIGH input enables the input and output amplifiers (VfA and Out_A or
VfB and Out_B) selected by the band select pin, BS.
Detector diodes for the RF power detector are connected here. An
internal switch connects a 10μA current sink to the input pin selected by
BS to bias the detector diode. This signal is referenced to V
DD
. (See
Notes 9 and 11).
The reference diode used for temperature compensation of the VfA and
VfB RF power signals is connected here. Internally, a 10μA current sink
connects to this pin to bias the reference diode. This signal is referenced
to V
DD
. (See notes 9 and 11).
Sets the RF output power level. The useful input voltage range is from
0.2V to 1.8V, although voltages from 0V to V
DD
are allowed. An internal
filter with a corner frequency of approximately 1.6MHz smooths the
Ramp signal, to eliminate step discontinuities from the baseband DAC’s
output.
Sets the desired minimum output voltage of the controller (selected by
BS) to the threshold voltage of the RF power amplifier. This reduces
ramp up time, since a smaller voltage range is slewed across. The
recommended input voltage range is from 0V to 2V.
Connect an external RC network here for overall loop compensation and
to control the closed loop frequency response. In most cases this
network will be simply a capacitor. Conventional loop stability techniques
can be used in selecting this network, such as Bode plots.
A rail-to-rail output capable of sourcing is 6mA, sinking 2mA, with less
than 200mV drop including over temperature. The output is free from
glitches when enabled by Tx_En. When an output is not selected by BS,
it is close to GND. When Tx_En is low, output voltages are near GND.

Note 9:
All inputs and outputs are referenced to GND, except VfA, VfB, and TC, which are referenced to V

.
Note 10:
For the digital inputs, a LOW is

0.8V and HIGH is
≥
1.8V.
Note 11:
RF power detection is usually via a RF detector diode and a RF power coupler.
