FUNCTION
Offset-Correction-Loop Capacitor Connection. A capacitor connected between this pin and
CAZ1 sets the time constant of the offset correction loop. The offset correction is disabled
when the CAZ1 and CAZ2 pins are shorted together.

DIS
Positive Loss-of-Signal Output, PECL. LOS is high when the level of the input signal drops
below the threshold set by the TH input. LOS is low when the signal level is above the
threshold. LOS can be connected directly to DIS for automatic squelch.

ST
LOS
Negative Loss-of-Signal Output, PECL. LOS is low when the level of the input signal drops
below the threshold set by the TH input. LOS is high when the signal level is above the
threshold.

To correct DC offsets, the amplifier has an internal feed-
back loop that acts as a DC autozero circuit. By cor-
recting the DC offsets, the limiting amplifier improves
receiver sensitivity and power-detector accuracy.
