APPLICATION INFORMATION
AM Section
RF Amplifier and mixer stages
The RF amplifier stage (pin 2) is connected directly to the secondary winding of the ferrite rod antenna or
input tuned circuit. Bias is provided at pin 4 which must be adequately decoupled. The RF amplif ier provides
stable performance ex tending beyond 30 MHz.
The Mixer employed is a double - balanced multiplier and the IF output at pin 3 is connected directly to the
IF filter coil.
Local oscillator
The local oscillator is a cross coupled differential s tage wh ich oscillates at the frequency determined by th e
load on pin 1.
The oscillator resonant circuit is trans former coupled t o pin 1 to improve the Q factor and frequency stability .
The oscillator level at pin 1 is about 100 mV rms and the performance extends beyond 30 MHz, however
to enhance the stability and reduce to a minimum pulling effects of the AGC operation or supply voltage
variations, a high C/L ratio should be used above 10 MHz.
An external oscillator can be injected at pin 1. The level should be 50 mV rms and pin 1 should be connected
to the supply via a 100W resistor .
IF Amplifier Detector
The IF amplifier is a wide band amplifier with a tuned output stage.
The IF filters can be either LC or mixed LC/ceramic.
AM detectio n occurs at pin 7. A detection capacitor is connected t o pin 6 to reduc e the ra diation of spurious
detector products.
The Audio output is at pin 9 (for either AM or FM); the IF frequency is filtered by an external capacitor which
is also used as the FM mono de-enphasis network. The audio output impedance is about 7KΩ and a high
impedance load (~ 50K Ω ) must be used.
AGC
Automatic gain control operates in two ways.
With weak signals it acts on the IF gain, maintaining the maximum S/N. For strong signals a second circuit
intervenes which controls the entire chain and allows signal handling in excess of one volt (m = 0.8).
At pin 8 there is a carrier envelope signal whic h is filtered by an external c apacitor to rem ove the Audio and
RF content and obtain a mean DC signal to drive the AGC circuit.

FM Section
IF Amplifier an d limit e r
The 10.7 MHz IF signal from the ceramic filter is amplified and limited by a chain of four differential stages.
Pin 16 is the amplifier input and has a typical input impedance of 6.5 KW in parallel with 14 pF at 10.7 MHz.
Bias for the first stage is available at pin 14 and provides 100% DC feedback for stable operating conditions.
Pin 15 is the second input to the amplifier and is decoupled to pin 14, which is gro unded by a 20 nF capacitor .
An RLC network is connected to the amplifier output and gives a 9 0° phase shift (at the IF centre frequenc y)
between pins 13 and 12. The signal level at pin 13 is about 150 mV rms
FM Detector
The circuit uses a quadrature detector and t he choise of component values is determined by the acceptable
level of distortion at a given recovered audio level.
With a double tuned network the linearity improves (distortion is reduced) and the phase shift can be
optimized; however this leads to a reduction in the level of the recovered audio. A sat isfactory compr omise
for most FM receiver applications is shown in the test circuit.
Care shoul be taken with the physical layout.
The main recommandations are:
• Locate the phase shift coil as near as possible to pin 13.
• Shunt pins 14 and 16 with a low value resistor (between 56Ω and 330Ω).
• G round the decoupling capacitor of pin 14 and the 10.7 MHz input filter at the same point.
AM-FM Switching
AM-FM switching is achieved by applying a DC voltage at pin 13, to switch the internal reference.
