The TK14584M is a standard function general purpose IF
IC capable of operating up to 22 MHz. The TK14584M has
a unique function that allows establishing the demodulation
characteristics by changing the external RC time constant,
and not changing the phase shifter constant. The RSSI
output is individually trimmed, resulting in excellent
accuracy, good linearity, and stable temperature
characteristics. The TK14584M was developed for highspeed data communication, DECT, wireless LAN, keyless
entry systems, etc.

CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION

IF Limiter Amplifier, RSSI:
The IF limiter amplifier is composed of five differential gain stages. The total gain of the IF limiter amplifier is 80 dB. The
output signal of the IF limiter amplifier is provided at Pin 10 through the emitter-follower output stage. The IF limiter amplifier
output level is 0.5 V
P-P
.
The input resistance of the IF limiter amplifier is 1.8 kΩ (see Figure 1A). If the impedance of the filter is lower than 1.8
kΩ, connect an external resistor between Pin 1 and Pin 2 in parallel to provide the equivalent load impedance of the filter.
Figure 1A shows the case that the impedance of the filter is 330 Ω.
The operating current of the emitter-follower of the IF limiter amplifier output is 200 µA. If the capacitive load is large, the
negative half cycle of the output waveform may be distorted. This distortion can be reduced by connecting an external
resistor between Pin 10 to GND to increase the operating current. The increased operating current from an external resistor
is calculated as follows (see Figure 1B):
The increased operating current Ie (mA) = (VCC - 1.0) / Re (kΩ)

CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION (CONT.)
The RSSI output is a current output. It converts to a voltage by an external resistor between Pin 11 and GND. The time
constant of the RSSI output is determined by the product of the external converting resistance and parallel capacitance.
When the time constant is longer, the RSSI output is less likely to be influenced by a disturbance or component of amplitude
modulation, but the RSSI output response is slower. The external resistance and capacitance are determined by the
application.

FIGURE 2 - RSSI OUTPUT STAGE
The slope of the RSSI curve characteristic can be modified by changing the external resistance. In this case, the maximum
range of converted RSSI output voltage is GND level to about V
- 0.2 V (the supply voltage minus the collector saturation
CC
voltage of the output transistor).
In addition, the temperature characteristic of the RSSI output voltage can be modified by changing the temperature
characteristic of the external resistor. Normally, the temperature characteristic of the RSSI output voltage is very stable
when using a carbon resistor or metal film resistor with a temperature characteristic of 0 to 200 ppm/ °C.
The RSSI output is trimmed individually for enhanced accuracy.
AM Demodulation by Using the RSSI Output:
Although the distortion of the RSSI output is high because it is a logarithmic detection of the IF input envelope, AM can
be demodulated simply by using the RSSI output. In this case, the input dynamic range that can demodulate AM is the
inside of the linear portion of the RSSI curve characteristic (see Figure 3B).
This method does not have a feedback loop to control the gain because an AGC amplifier is not necessary (unlike the
popularly used AM demodulation method). Therefore, it is a very useful for some applications because it does not have
the response time problem.
Figure 3A shows the AM demodulated waveform.

FM Detector:
The FM detector is included in the quadrature FM detector using a Gilbert multiplier.
It is suitable for high speed data communication because the demodulation bandwidth is over 1 MHz.
The phase shifter is connected between Pin 10 (IF limiter output) and Pin 9 (input detector). Any available phase shifter
can be used: a LC resonance circuit, a ceramic discriminator, a delay line, etc.
Figure 4 shows the internal equivalent circuit of the detector.

CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION (CONT.)
The signal from the phase shifter is applied to the multiplier (in the dotted line) through emitter-follower stage QA. When
the phase shifter is connected between Pin 10 and Pin 9, note that the bias voltage to Pin 9 should be provided from an
external source because Pin 9 is only connected to the base of QA.
Because the base of QB (at the opposite side) is connected with the supply voltage, Pin 9 has to be biased with the
equivalent voltage.
Using an LC resonance circuit is not a problem (see Figure 5). However, when using a ceramic discriminator, it is necessary
to pay attention to bias. If there is a difference of the base voltages, the DC voltages of the multiplier do not balance. It
alters the DC zero point or worsens the distortion of demodulation output.
The Pin 9 input level should be saturated at the multiplier; if this level is lower, it is easy to disperse the modulation output.
Therefore, to have stable operation, Pin 9 should be higher than 100 mV
The following figures show examples of the phase shifter.

Establishing Demodulation Characteristics:
Generally, demodulation characteristics of FM detectors are determined by the external phase shifter. However, this
product has a unique function which can optionally establish the demodulation characteristics by the time constant of the
circuit parts after demodulation. The following explains this concept.
Figure 6 shows the internal equivalent circuit of the detector output stage.
The multiplier output current of the detector is converted to a voltage by the internal OP AMP. The characteristic of this
stage is determined by converting the current to voltage with resistor RO and the capacitor CO connected between Pin 7
and Pin 8 (see Figure 6).
In other words, the slope of the S-curve characteristic can be established optionally with resistor RO without changing the
constant of the phase shifter. The demodulated bandwidth can be established optionally by the time constant of this
external resistor RO and capacitor CO inside of a bandwidth of the IF-filter and phase shifter. Figure 7 shows an example
of this characteristic.

Center Voltage of Detector DC Output:
The center voltage of the detector DC output is determined by the internal reference voltage source. It is impossible to
change this internal reference voltage source, but it is possible to change the center voltage by the following method.
As illustrated in Figure 8, the demodulated output current at Pin 8 is converted to the voltage by an external resistor R1
without using the internal OP AMP.
Figure 9 shows an example of a simple circuit that divides the supply voltage into halves using resistors. Since both circuits
have a high output impedance, an external buffer amplifier should be connected.

Power Save Function:
Pin 5 is the control terminal for the battery save function. The ON/OFF operation of the whole IC can be switched by
controlling the DC voltage at this terminal. Figure 10 shows the internal equivalent circuit of Pin 5.
Because it switches the bias circuit of the entire IC by using the transistor in standby mode, it reduces the supply current
to near zero. As the input terminal is connected with an electrostatic discharge protection diode at GND side only, it is
possible to control the voltage above the supply voltage. It is possible to go into standby mode by disconnecting Pin 5,
but it is not recommended because Pin 5 is a high impedance and may malfunction by an external disturbance.
When Pin 5 is disconnected, a suitable capacitor should be connected between Pin 5 and GND.
