DESCRIPTION
The MAS6180 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.
MAS6180 has two options for compensating shunt
capacitances of different crystals (See ordering
information on page 14).

Note:
Because the substrate of the die is internally connected to VSS, the die has to be connected to VSS or left
floating. Please make sure that VSS 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) External crystal compensation capacitor pin QOM is connected only in MAS6180B5 version. It is left
unconnected in MAS6180B1 version which has internal compensation capacitor.
2) 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)
3) AON = VSS means AGC off (hold current gain level); AON = VDD means AGC on (normal operation)
-
Unused AON pad can be left unconnected due to internal pull-up with current < 1
µA.
Pull up current is
switched off at power down.
4) 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.
5) Receiver inputs RFIP and RFIM have both 1.4 MΩ biasing resistors towards VDD

Note:
Stresses beyond those listed may cause permanent damage to the device. The device may not operate under these conditions, but it
will not be destroyed.
Note:
This is a CMOS device and therefore it should be handled carefully to avoid any damage by static voltages (ESD).
