Low voltage high performance mixer FM IF
system with high-speed RSSI
SA636
DESCRIPTION
The SA636 is a low-voltage 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
SA636 is available in 20-lead SSOP (shrink small outline package).
The SA636 was designed for high bandwidth portable
communication applications and will function down to 2.7V. The RF
section is similar to the famous SA605. The data output has a
minimum bandwidth of 600kHz. 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.
SA636 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.
