RF-IN

GPS Antenna RF 
Input

1575MHz L1 GPS signal input. 
0dBm max. Contains DC power 
supplied to VANT pin 20 for 
DC antenna amplifier power.

Connect to passive or active 
GPS antenna. 0dB to +30dB 
antenna gain. 3.0V to 5.25V 
antenna DC power

VANT

DC Antenna Bias 
Power Input

0V to 5V max

Connect DC power for antenna 
power supply. Typically 3.3V or 
5V. This power pin is internally 
bypassed, and connected via 
Bias-T to the antenna RF pin 18

RESET#

Reset Input

Pull to ground for >50ms to 
initiate a system reset

Pull to ground to manually reset 
system. Leave floating during 
normal operation

24

CLOCKOUT/
ISP#

RF Synthesizer 
output, and In 
System 
Programming 
(ISP) mode 
initialization

Do not pull low at any time. 
3.3V CMOS output. Can drive 
up to +/-10mA. ISP mode for 
factory use only

This pin generates the 
synthesized RF output. Pin 7 
indicates when this pin is active. 
Do not pull low externally to 
avoid initiating ISP mode during 
power-on. Can be buffered by 
external CMOS gate. Output 
frequency is determined by 
FS0/FS1/FS2 pins

25

FREQ_SEL0

Frequency Select 
0 (LSB)

Pull to ground to activate (0). 
Leave floating (1)

Frequency select 0. Pulling this 
pin low activates one of the 
syntheziser output frequencies

26

FREQ_SEL1

Frequency Select 
1

Pull to ground to activate (0). 
Leave floating (1)

Frequency select 1. Pulling this 
pin low activates one of the 
syntheziser output frequencies

27

FREQ_SEL2

Frequency Select 
2 (MSB)

Pull to ground to activate (0). 
Leave floating (1)

Frequency select 2. Pulling this 
pin low activates one of the 
syntheziser output frequencies

28

WARMUP_
TRAINING

TCXO Warmup 
Indicator

3.3V CMOS (warmup), 0V 
(warmup done)

3.3V CMOS output indicating 
TCXO warmup after power-on. 
Can drive an LED with up to 
10mA. Stays high for about 1 
minute after reset
