Low voltage mixer FM IF system with filter amplifier and data switch

DESCRIPTION

The SA639 is a low-voltage high performance monolithic FM IF system with high-speed RSSI incorporating a mixer/oscillator, two wideband limiting intermediate frequency amplifiers, quadrature detector, logarithmic received signal strength indicator (RSSI), fast RSSI op amps, voltage regulator, wideband data output, post detection filter amplifier and data switch. The SA639 is available in 24-lead TSSOP (Thin shrink small outline package).

The SA639 was designed for high bandwidth portable communication applications and will function down to 2.7V . The RF section is similar to the famous NE605. The data output provides a minimum bandwidth of 1MHz to demodulate wideband data. The RSSI output is amplified and has access to the feedback pin. This enables the designer to level adjust the outputs or add filtering.

The post-detection amplifier may be used to realize a low pass filter function. A programmable data switch routes a portion of the data signal to an external integration circuit that generates a data comparator reference voltage.

SA639 incorporates a power down mode which powers down the device when Pin 8 is high. Power down logic levels are CMOS and TTL compatible with high input impedance.

6. The switch is closed every 10ms for a duration of 40µs. The DC offset is determined by calculating the difference of 2 DC measurements, which are determined as follows: 1) The first DC value is measured at the integrating capacitor of the switch when the switch is in the closed position immediately before it opens. The value to be measured is in the middle of the peak-to-peak excursion of the superimposed sine-wave. (DClow + (DChigh – DClow)/2). 2) The second DC value (calculated as above) is measured at Pin 11 immediately after the switch opens, and is the DC value which gives the largest DC offset to the first DC measurement within a 400µs DECT burst. Minimum and maximum limits are not tested, however, they are guaranteed by design and characterization using an optimized layout and application circuit.

7. Standard deviations are measured based on application of 60 parts.
