Description
Do not connect.
Regulator Voltage for PA Block. Place a series 3.9 Ω resistor and a 100 nF capacitor between this pin and
ground for regulator stability and noise rejection.
Voltage Supply for PA Block. Place decoupling capacitors of 0.1 μF and 100 pF as close as possible to this
pin. Tie all VDDx pins together.
The modulated signal is available at this pin. Output power levels are from −16 dBm to +13 dBm. The
output should be impedance matched to the desired load using suitable components.
Ground for Output Stage of Transmitter. Tie all GND pins together.
LNA Input for Receiver Section. Input matching is required between the antenna and the differential LNA
input to ensure maximum power transfer.
Complementary LNA Input.
External Bias Resistor for LNA. Optimum resistor is 1.1 kΩ with 5% tolerance.
Voltage Supply for LNA/Mixer Block. Decouple this pin to ground with a 10 nF capacitor. Tie all VDDx pins
together.
External Resistor. Sets charge pump current and some internal bias currents. Use a 3.6 kΩ resistor with
5% tolerance.
Regulator Voltage for LNA/Mixer Block. Place a 100 nF capacitor between this pin and ground for
regulator stability and noise rejection.
Ground for LNA/Mixer Block. Tie all GND pins together.
Signal Chain Test Pins. These pins are high impedance under normal conditions and should be left
unconnected.
Signal Chain Test Pins. These pins are high impedance under normal conditions and should be left
unconnected.
Signal Chain Test Pin. This pin is high impedance under normal conditions and should be left unconnected.
Chip Enable. Bringing CE low puts the ADF7021-V into complete power-down. Register values are lost
when CE is low, and the part must be reprogrammed after CE is brought high.
Load Enable, CMOS Input. When SLE goes high, the data stored in the shift registers is loaded into one of
the 16 latches. A latch is selected using the control bits.
Serial Data Input. The serial data is loaded MSB first with the four LSBs as the control bits. This pin is a
high impedance CMOS input.
