This pin is internally DC biased and should be DC blocked if connected to a device with DC present. For single-ended input operation, one pin is used as an input and the other FM input is AC coupled to ground. The balanced input impedance is 2.4k, while the single-ended input impedance is 1.2k. Same as pin 8, except complementary input. Bandgap Voltage Reference. This voltage, constant over temperature and supply variation, is used to bias internal circuits. A 10nF external bypass capacitor is required. The trace length between the pin and the bypass capacitor should be minimized. The ground side of the bypass capacitor should connect immediately to ground plane. AGC decoupling pin. An external bypass capacitor of 10nF capacitor is required. The trace length between the pin and the bypass capacitor should be minimized. The ground side of the bypass capacitor should connect immediately to ground plane. LO Balanced Input pin. This pin is internally DC biased and should be DC blocked if connected to a device with DC present. For single-ended input operation, one pin is used as an input and the other LO input is AC coupled to ground. The frequency of the signal applied to these pins is internally divided by a factor of 2, hence the carrier frequency for the modulator becomes one half of the applied frequency. The singleended input impedance is 400 (balanced is 800). The LO input may be driven single-ended but balanced provides optimum gain and phase balance. Same as pin 12, except complementary input.

This balanced node is pinned out to allow shunt filtering of the AGC output signal as it enters the demodulator. The basic configuration of the filter should consist of a shunt inductor and shunt capacitor, both connected to the power supply, as the internal circuitry requires this power supply connection through the inductor to operate.
