Evaluation PCB and RF Connector Losses
The DC connector on the Designer’s Kit PCB allows
selection of all the device’s operating modes. It is
accomplished by one or more of the following methods:
1. A mating female multi-pin connector (Newark
Electronics Stock # 46F-4658, not included)
2. Wires soldered to the necessary pins
(not included)
3. Clip leads (not included)
4. A combination of clip leads or wires and jumpers
(jumpers included as required)
Jumper 1 (Diversity Switch Control)
Position 1 = ANT Common to ANT 2 Insertion Loss
Position 2 = ANT Common to ANT 1 Insertion Loss
Jumper 2 (PA Sleep Control)
Position 1 = PA ON
Position 2 = PA Sleep Mode
Jumper 3 (T/R Switch Control)
Position 1 = Receive Mode
Position 2 = Transmit Mode
Jumper 4 (Attenuator Control)
Position 1 = Attenuator ON (Low Power Transmit)
Position 2 = Attenuator OFF (High Power Transmit)
In order to prevent transients which may damage
the MMIC, please adhere to the following procedure.
Turn on all power supplies and set all voltages to
0 volts BEFORE connecting the power supplies to the
DC connector.
Set jumpers for desired test mode.
Apply a -5.0 volt supply to DC connector pin 20 (V
GG
).
Apply a +5.0 volt supply to the DC connector pin 1 (V
DD1
).
Apply a +5.0 volt supply to the DC connector pin 2 (V
DD2
).
Apply a +5.0 volt supply to the DC connector pin 19
(V
DD
PA).
Adjust V
GG
supply to -5 volts.
Adjust all V
DD
supplies to +5 volts.
Hot switching of jumpers will not damage device.
To power off, reverse above procedure.
1. Set V

3. Disconnect bias lines from DC connector.
4. Turn off power supplies.
