The LM567 and LM567C are general purpose tone decoders
designed to provide a saturated transistor switch to ground
when an input signal is present within the passband. The circuit consists of an I and Q detector driven by a voltage controlled oscillator which determines the center frequency of
the decoder. External components are used to independently set center frequency, bandwidth and output delay.
Features
n 20 to 1 frequency range with an external resistor
n Logic compatible output with 100 mA current sinking
capability
n Bandwidth adjustable from 0 to 14

Note 1: Absolute Maximum Ratings indicate limits beyond which damage to the device may occur. Operating Ratings indicate conditions for which the device is functional, but do not guarantee specific performance limits. Electrical Characteristics state DC andAC electrical specifications under particular test conditions which guarantee specific performance limits. This assumes that the device is within the Operating Ratings. Specifications are not guaranteed for parameters where no limit is
given, however, the typical value is a good indication of device performance.
Note 2: The maximum junction temperature of the LM567 and LM567C is 150˚C. For operating at elevated temperatures, devices in the TO-5 package must be derated based on a thermal resistance of 150˚C/W, junction to ambient or 45˚C/W, junction to case. For the DIP the device must be derated based on a thermal resistance of 110˚C/W, junction to ambient. For the Small Outline package, the device must be derated based on a thermal resistance of 160˚C/W, junction to ambient.
Note 3: Refer to RETS567X drawing for specifications of military LM567H version.
