2 DESCRIPTION The is a low-voltage high performance monolithic FM IF system with high-speed incorporating a mixer/oscillator, two limiting intermediate frequency amplifiers, quadrature detector, logarithmic received signal strength indicator (), voltage regulator, wideband data output and fast op amps. The is available in -lead SSOP (shrink small outline package). The was designed for high bandwidth portable communication applications and will function down to.7 V. The RF section is similar to the famous SA65. The data output has a minimum bandwidth of 6 khz. This is designed to demodulate wideband data. The output is amplified. The output has access to the feedback pin. This enables the designer to adjust the level of the outputs or add filtering. incorporates a power-down mode which powers down the device when Pin 8 is LOW. Power down logic levels are CMOS and TTL compatible with high input impedance.

RF generator: Set your RF generator at MHz, use a 1 khz modulation frequency and a ±88 khz deviation.. Layout: The layout is very critical in the performance of the receiver. We highly recommend our demo board layout. 3. : The smallest voltage (i.e., when no RF input is present and the input is terminated) is a measure of the quality of the layout and design. If the lowest voltage is 5 mv or higher, it means the receiver is in regenerative mode. In that case, the receiver sensitivity will be worse than expected. 4. Supply bypass and shielding: All of the inductors, the quad tank, and their shield must be grounded. A.1 µf bypass capacitor on the supply pin improves sensitivity. 3 Aug 1 13

15 CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION The is an IF signal processing system suitable for second IF or single conversion systems with input frequency as high as 1 GHz. The bandwidth of the IF amplifier is about 4 MHz, with 38 db of gain from a 5 Ω source. The bandwidth of the limiter is about 8 MHz with about 54 db of gain from a 5 Ω source. However, the gain/bandwidth distribution is optimized for 1.7 MHz, 33 Ω source applications. The overall system is well-suited to battery operation as well as high performance and high quality products of all types, such as cordless and cellular hand-held phones. The input stage is a Gilbert cell mixer with oscillator. Typical mixer characteristics include a noise figure of 14 db, conversion gain of 11 db, and input third-order intercept of 16 dbm. The oscillator will operate in excess of 1 GHz in L/C tank configurations. Hartley or Colpitts circuits can be used up to 1 MHz for xtal configurations. Butler oscillators are recommended for xtal configurations up to 15 MHz. The output of the mixer is internally loaded with a 33 Ω resistor permitting direct connection to a 1.7 MHz ceramic filter for narrowband applications. The input resistance of the limiting IF amplifiers is also 33 Ω. With most 1.7 MHz ceramic filters and many crystal filters, no impedance matching network is necessary. For applications requiring wideband IF filtering, such as DECT, external LC filters are used (see Figure 1). To achieve optimum linearity of the log signal strength indicator, there must be a 6 db(v) insertion loss between the first and second IF stages. If the IF filter or interstage network does not cause 6 db(v) insertion loss, a fixed or variable resistor can be added between the first IF output (Pin 16) and the interstage network. The signal from the second limiting amplifier goes to a Gilbert cell quadrature detector. One port of the Gilbert cell is internally driven by the IF. The other output of the IF is AC-coupled to a tuned quadrature network. This signal, which now has a 9 phase relationship to the internal signal, drives the other port of the multiplier cell. Overall, the IF section has a gain of 9 db. For operation at intermediate frequency at 1.7 MHz. Special care must be given to layout, termination, and interstage loss to avoid instability. The demodulated output (DATA) of the quadrature is a voltage output. This output is designed to handle a minimum bandwidth of 6 khz. This is designed to demodulate wideband data, such as in DECT applications. A Receive Signal Strength Indicator () completes the circuitry. The output range is greater than 9 db and is temperature compensated. This log signal strength indicator exceeds the criteria for AMPS or TACS cellular telephone, DECT and RCR-8 cordless telephone. This signal drives an internal op amp. The op amp is capable of rail-to-rail output. It can be used for gain, filtering, or nd-order temperature compensation of the, if needed. NOTE: db(v) = log V OUT /V IN 3 Aug 1 15
