ESD Precautions
As this is a GaAs MMIC, ESD precautions must be adhered to, as outlined in at standard Data Book.
Please contact Sony if detailed ESD performance data is required.
Configuration of External Logic Circuitry
For most portable appplicaitons, the following logic states are normally available.:
1. TX ON/OFF
2. RX ON/OFF
3. INT/EXT ANT.
A simple Logic circuit, using EXOR gates may be used to drive the CXG1017N. The following is a suggested
schematic:
