SA605High performance low power mixer FM IF system

DESCRIPTION

The SA605 is a high performance monolithic low-power FM IF
system incorporating a mixer/oscillator, two limiting intermediate
frequency amplifiers, quadrature detector, muting, logarithmic
received signal strength indicator (RSSI), and voltage regulator. The
SA605 combines the functions of Signetics’ SA602 and SA604A, but
features a higher mixer input intercept point, higher IF bandwidth
(25MHz) and temperature compensated RSSI and limiters
permitting higher performance application. The SA605 is available
in 20-lead dual-in-line plastic, 20-lead SOL (surface-mounted
miniature package) and 20-lead SSOP (shrink small outline
package).

The SA605 and SA615 are functionally the same device types. The
difference between the two devices lies in the guaranteed
specifications. The SA615 has a higher I
intercept point, lower conversion mixer gain, lower limiter gain, lower
AM rejection, lower SINAD, higher THD, and higher RSSI error than
the SA605. Both the SA605 and SA615 devices will meet the EIA
specifications for AMPS and TACS cellular radio applications.

For additional technical information please refer to application notes
AN1994, 1995 and 1996, which include example application
diagrams, a complete overview of the product, and artwork for
reference.

NOTE:

1. The generator source impedance is 50Ω, but the SA605 input impedance at Pin 18 is 1500Ω. As a result, IF level refers to the actual signal
that enters the SA605 input (Pin 8) which is about 21dB less than the ”available power” at the generator.
