This is an input to the IF amplifier
after passing through 450kHz
ceramic filter. The typical input

IF Decoupling
An external decoupling capacitor
is connected to enhance stability.
FSK Reference Input
This pin is an input of reference
voltage for FSK comparator. An
external capacitor is connected to
create an average DC level of FM
demodulated signal. The choice of
this capacitor is dependent on the
speed of data signal.
A quick charge/discharge circuit
offers the voltage of pin 7 comes
the same voltage of pin 11 quickly.

FSK Output
The FSK comparator is a wave
shaping circuit. A Filter Amplifier
output signal is inverted and wave
shaped. Instead of V+, another
power source can also be used
within the limit of the rated supply
voltage.
Carrier Sense Output
This pin outputs the result of RSSI
comparator by comparing RSSI
output level with an external input
level to pin 18.
