(1) 3 Tx Simultaneous operation is supported only with 1-V LDO bypass and PA LDO disable mode. In this mode, the 1-V supply needs to be fed on the VOUT PA pin.
(2) PRODUCTION DATA information is current as of publication date. Products conform to specifications per the terms of the Texas Instruments standard warranty.
(3) LVDS Interface is not a production Interface and is only used for debug.
(4) Non-Functional Safety Variants also available.
