Notes:
1.
All specifications guaranteed by production test unless otherwise noted. Production test conditions and max limits are
listed in "1.1. Definition of Test Conditions" on page 7.
2.
The frequency range is continuous over the specified range.
3.
The frequency step size is limited by the frequency noise.
4.
Optimum differential load is equal to 4 V/(11.5 mA/2 x 4/PI) = 550
Therefore
the antenna load resistance in parallel
with the Si4012 differential output resistance should equal 600
