MRF89XAT-I from Microchip Tech, in a TQFN-32-EP(5x5). Pinout and pin descriptions extracted from the manufacturer datasheet (extract_pins, cross-checked by a second model); symbol, footprint, and 3D from KiCad-official CAD.
Pinout
| Pin | Name | Type | Function |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | TEST5 | bidirectional | Test pin, connected to Ground during normal operation. |
| 2 | TEST1 | bidirectional | Test pin, connected to Ground during normal operation. |
| 3 | VCORS | power_out | Regulated voltage supply of the VCO (0.85V). |
| 4 | VCOTN | passive | VCO tank connection (negative side; two same-value external inductors required). |
| 5 | VCOTP | passive | VCO tank connection (positive side; two same-value external inductors required). |
| 6 | PLLN | passive | PLL loop filter connection. |
| 7 | PLLP | passive | PLL loop filter connection. |
| 8 | TEST6 | bidirectional | Test pin, connected to Ground during normal operation. |
