DESCRIPTION
The MAS9180 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. Only a few external components are required for
time signal receiver. The circuit has preamplifier, wide
range automatic gain control, demodulator and output
comparator built in. The output signal can be
processed directly by an additional digital circuitry to
extract the data from the received signal. The control
for AGC (automatic gain control) can be used to switch
AGC on or off if necessary.
MAS9180 has both differential and asymmetric input
options and also options for compensating shunt
capacitances of different crystals (See ordering
information on page 15).

Note:
Because the substrate of the die is internally connected to VDD, the die has to be connected to VDD or left
floating. Please make sure that VDD is the first pad to be bonded. Pick-and-place and all component assembly
are recommended to be performed in ESD protected area.
Note:
Coordinates are pad center points where origin has been located in bottom-left corner of the silicon die.

Notes:
1) OUT = VSS when carrier amplitude at maximum; OUT = VDD when carrier amplitude is reduced (modulated)
-
the output is a current source/sink with |I
OUT
| > 5
µA
-
at power down the output is pulled to VSS (pull down switch)
2) AON = VSS means AGC off (hold current gain level); AON = VDD means AGC on (working)
-
Internal pull-up with current < 1
µA
which is switched off at power down
3) PDN = VSS means receiver on; PDN = VDD means receiver off
Fast start-up is triggered when the receiver is after power down (PDN=VDD) controlled to power up
(PDN=VSS) i.e. at the falling edge of PDN signal.
4) External crystal compensation capacitor pin QOM is connected only in MAS9190A5 and AF versions. It is left
unconnected in MAS9180A1 and AB..E versions which have internal compensation capacitor.
5) Differential input versions A1..A5 have 600 kΩ biasing MOSFET-transistors towards ground from both
receiver inputs RFIP and RFIM. Asymmetric input versions AB..AF have input pin RFIM unconnected.
