DESCRIPTION
The MAS1017 AM-Receiver chip is a highly
sensitive, simple to use AM receiver specially
intended to receive time signals in the frequency
range from 40 kHz to 100 kHz. There are only a few
external components needed. The circuit has a
preamplifier, wide range automatic gain control,
demodulator and output comparator built in. The
output signal can be processed directly with an
additional digital circuitry to extract the data from the
received signal.

Notes:
1) See power down control table below.
-
Internal pull-down resistor > 1 MΩ to VSS
2) DCF = VSS when carrier amplitude at maximum; DCF = VDD when carrier amplitude is reduced (25%
modulated)
-
the output is a current source/sink with |I
OUT
| > 5

-
at power down the output is high impedance
3) See power down control logic table below.

Note 1: Ferrite Antenna and Crystal
The crystal as well as ferrite antenna frequencies are chosen according to the time signal system frequency.
DCF-77 transmitter frequency is 77.5 kHz. The ferrite antenna center frequency has to be tuned to 77.5 kHz.
The optimal crystal frequency is 77503 Hz but also 77500 Hz crystal can be used. The shunt capacitance of the
crystal should be as close as possible to internal shunt capacitance compensation capacitor of 0.75 pF for
optimal noise filtering.
Note 2: AGC and DEC Capacitors
The AGC and DEC capacitors should have low leakage currents due to very small 40 nA signal currents
through the capacitors. The insulation resistance of these capacitors should be higher than 70 MΩ. Also probes
with at least 100 MΩ impedance should be used for voltage probing of AGC and DEC pins.

Notes:
1) See power down control table on page 2.
-

-

3) Pin 14 between quartz crystal filter pins must be connected to VSS to eliminate package leadframe parasitic
capacitances disturbing the crystal filter performance. All other NC (Not Connected) pins are also
recommended to be connected to VSS to minimize noise coupling.
4) See power down control logic table on page 2.
