FSK Reference Input
This pin is an input of reference
voltage for FSK comparator. An
external capacitor is connected to
create an average DC level of FM
demodulated signal. The choice of
this capacitor is dependent on the
speed of data signal.
A quick charge/discharge circuit
offers the voltage of pin 7 comes
the same voltage of pin 11 quickly.
