Mnemonic Description
1, 16
FLT3, FLT2 External Envelope Filter. With the FLT3 and FLT2 pins not connected, two internal low-pass filters (operating
in series) with corner frequencies of approximately 1000 MHz and 800 MHz remove the residual RF carrier (at
two times the original input frequency) from the envelope signal. External, supply-referenced capacitors
connected to FLT3 and FLT2 can be used to reduce this corner frequency. See the Basic Connections section
for more information.

RFIN
RF Input. RFIN should be externally ac-coupled. RFIN has a nominal input impedance of 250 Ω. To achieve a
broadband 50 Ω input impedance, an external 75 Ω shunt resistor should be connected between the source
side of the ac coupling capacitor and ground.
3
FLT1
External Envelope Filter. A capacitor to ground on this pin can be used to reduce the nominal minimum
input frequency. The capacitance on this pin helps to reduce any residual RF carrier presence on the EREF
output pin. See the Basic Connections section for more information.
4
ENBL
Device Enable/Disable. A logic high on this pin enables the device. A logic low on this pin disables the
device.
5
COMM
Device Ground. Connect to a low impedance ground plane.
6, 7, 8, 12, 13 NC
Do not connect to these pins.
9
EREF
Reference Voltage for Envelope Output. The nominal value is 1.1 V.
10
VENV
Envelope Output. The voltage on this pin represents the envelope of the input signal and is referred to
EREF. VENV can source a current of up to 15 mA. Capacitive loading should not exceed 10 pF to achieve the
specified envelope bandwidth. Lighter loads should be chosen when possible. The nominal output voltages
on EREF and VENV with no signal present track with temperature. For dc-coupled envelope output, EREF
should be used as a reference giving the true envelope voltage of VENV − VEREF. For ac coupling of the
envelope output, the VENV pin can drive a 50 Ω load, if maximum current drive capability of 15 mA is not
exceeded. See the Output Drive Capability and Buffering section for more information.
11
VRMS
RMS Output Pin. This voltage is ground referenced and has a nominal swing of 0 V to 3.8 V. VRMS has a linear-
in-V/V transfer function with a nominal slope of 2 V/V.
14
FLT4
RMS Averaging Capacitor. Connect between FLT4 and VPOS.
15
VPOS
Supply Voltage Pin. Operational range is 4.75 V to 5.25 V with a supply current of 21.5 mA.
0
EP
Exposed Pad. The exposed pad should be connected to both thermal and electrical grounds.
