General
FM receiver incorporating a split IF. This device is designated
for use as the backend in digital FM systems such as CT–2
and wideband data links with data rates up to 500 kbaud. It
contains a mixer, oscillator, signal strength meter drive, IF
amplifier, limiting IF, quadrature detector and a data slicer
with a hold function (refer to Figure 8, Simplified Internal
Circuit Schematic).
Current Regulation
regulators are used throughout.

response as a function of input signal drive. The circuit used
to measure this is shown in Figure 1. The linear gain of the
mixer is approximately 22 dB. Figure 9 shows the mixer gain
versus the IF output frequency with the local oscillator of
150 MHz at 100 mVrms LO drive level. The RF frequency is
swept. The sensitivity of the IF output of the mixer is shown in
Figure 10 for an RF input drive of 10 mVrms at 140 MHz and
IF at 10 MHz.

resulting in an output impedance of 330 .
Local Oscillator
resonant elements up to 220 MHz. Series resonant, overtone
crystals are used to achieve excellent local oscillator stability.
3rd overtone crystals are used through about 65 to 70 MHz.
Operation from 70 MHz up to 180 MHz is feasible using the
on–chip transistor with a 5th or 7th overtone crystal. To
enhance operation using an overtone crystal, the internal
transistor’s bias is increased by adding an external resistor
from Pin 23 to V EE . –10 dBm of local oscillator drive is
needed to adequately drive the mixer (Figure 10).

amplitude. The RSSI current output is derived by summing
the currents from the IF and limiting amplifier stages. An
external resistor at Pin 20 sets the voltage range or swing of
the RSSI output voltage. Linearity of the RSSI is optimized by
using external ceramic or crystal bandpass filters which have
an insertion loss of 8.0 dB. The RSSI circuit is designed to
provide 70+ dB of dynamic range with temperature
compensation (see Figures 6 and 7 which show RSSI
responses of the IF and Limiter amplifiers). Variation in the
RSSI output current with supply voltage is small (see
Figure 11).
Carrier Detect
resistance reaches 1.2 Vdc above ground, the comparator
flips, causing the carrier detect output to go high. Hysteresis
can be accomplished by adding a very large resistor for
positive feedback between the output and the input of the
comparator.
IF Amplifier
differential stages with the second and third stages
contributing to the RSSI. This section has internal dc
feedback and external input decoupling for improved
symmetry and stability. The total gain of the IF amplifier block
is approximately 39 dB at 10.7 MHz. Figure 5 shows the gain
and saturated output response of the IF amplifier over
temperature, while Figure 12 shows the IF amplifier gain as a
function of the IF frequency.

filter; however, no external matching is necessary at the input
since the mixer output matches the 330
of the filter. For 455 kHz applications, an external 1.1 k
resistor must be added in series with the mixer output to
obtain the required matching impedance of 1.4 k of the filter
input resistance. Overall RSSI linearity is dependent on
having total midband attenuation of 12 dB (6.0 dB insertion
loss plus 6.0 dB impedance matching loss) for the filter. The
output of the IF amplifier is buffered and the impedance is
