VCC_RF (pull-up)
LNA_EN
Ext. LNA control pin in
power save mode.
LNA_EN pin voltage level:
MAX-M8 -> VCC_IO
(push-pull)
On MAX-6, ANT_ON pin voltage level
is with respect to VCC_RF, on MAX-
8 / M8 to VCC_IO
(only relevant when VCC_IO does not
share the same supply with VCC)
14 VCC_RF Can be used for active
antenna or external
LNA supply.
