High performance mixer FM IF system

SA58641
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 2.7 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 is LOW. Power down logic levels are CMOS and
TTL compatible with high input impedance.
