Four-Level Control Inputs

The DS160PR421 has five (EQ0, EQ1, GAIN, MODE, and RX_DET) 4-level inputs pins that are used to control the configuration of the device. These 4-level inputs use a resistor divider to help set the 4 valid levels and provide a wider range of control settings. External resistors must be of 10% tolerance or better. The EQ0, EQ1, GAIN, and RX_DET pins are sampled at power-up only. The MODE pin can be exercised at device power up or in normal operation mode.
