High performance mixer FM IF system with high-speed RSSI
Rev. 2 — 9 March 2012
Product data sheet
1. General description
The SA58641 is a high performance monolithic FM IF system with high-speed RSSI
incorporating a mixer/oscillator, two limiting intermediate frequency amplifiers, quadrature
detector, logarithmic Received Signal Strength Indicator (RSSI), voltage regulator,
wideband data output and fast RSSI op amps. The SA58641 is available in 20-lead SSOP
(Shrink Small Outline Package).
The SA58641 was designed for high bandwidth portable communication applications and
will function down to 3 V. The RF section is similar to the famous SA605. The data output
has a minimum bandwidth of 600 kHz. This is designed to demodulate wideband data.
The RSSI output is amplified. The RSSI output has access to the feedback pin. This
enables the designer to adjust the level of the outputs or add filtering.
SA58641 incorporates a power-down mode which powers down the device when pin 8
(POWER_DOWN_CTRL) is LOW. Power-down logic levels are CMOS and TTL
compatible with high input impedance.

7. Functional description
The SA58641 is an IF signal processing system suitable for second IF or single
conversion systems with input frequency as high as 1 GHz. The bandwidth of the IF
amplifier is about 40 MHz with 38 dB of gain from a 50
source. The bandwidth of the
limiter is about 28 MHz with about 54 dB of gain from a 50
source. However, the
gain/bandwidth distribution is optimized for 10.7 MHz, 330
source applications. The
overall system is well-suited to battery operation as well as high performance and high
quality products of all types such as cordless and cellular hand-held phones.
The input stage is a Gilbert cell mixer with oscillator. Typical mixer characteristics include
a noise figure of 14 dB, conversion gain of 11 dB, and input third-order intercept of
16
dBm. The oscillator will operate in excess of 1 GHz in L/C tank configurations. Hartley
or Colpitts circuits can be used up to 100 MHz for crystal configurations. Butler oscillators
are recommended for crystal configurations up to 150 MHz.
The output of the mixer is internally loaded with a 330
resistor permitting direct
connection to a 10.7 MHz ceramic filter for narrowband applications. The input resistance
of the limiting IF amplifiers is also 330
.
With most 10.7 MHz ceramic filters and many
crystal filters, no impedance matching network is necessary. For applications requiring
wideband IF filtering, such as DECT, external LC filters are used (see
Figure 16).
To
achieve optimum linearity of the log signal strength indicator, there must be a 6 dBV
insertion loss between the first and second IF stages. If the IF filter or interstage network
does not cause 6 dBV insertion loss, a fixed or variable resistor can be added between
the first IF output (IF_AMP_OUT) and the interstage network.
The signal from the second limiting amplifier goes to a Gilbert cell quadrature detector.
One port of the Gilbert cell is internally driven by the IF. The other output of the IF is
AC-coupled to a tuned quadrature network. This signal, which now has a 90 phase
relationship to the internal signal, drives the other port of the multiplier cell.
Overall, the IF section has a gain of 90 dB for operation at intermediate frequency at
10.7 MHz. Special care must be given to layout, termination, and interstage loss to avoid
instability.
The demodulated output (DATA_OUT) of the quadrature is a voltage output. This output is
designed to handle a minimum bandwidth of 600 kHz. This is designed to demodulate
wideband data, such as in DECT applications.
A Received Signal Strength Indicator (RSSI) completes the circuitry. The output range is
greater than 90 dB and is temperature compensated. This log signal strength indicator
exceeds the criteria for AMPS or TACS cellular telephone, DECT and RCR-28 cordless
telephone. This signal drives an internal op amp. The op amp is capable of rail-to-rail
output. It can be used for gain, filtering, or second-order temperature compensation of the
RSSI, if needed.
