SL6610
Direct Conversion FSK Data Receiver
Advance Information
Supersedes the October 1994 edition, DS4003 - 1.4
DS4003 - 2.2 September 1995
This device is an advanced direct conversion receiver for
operation up to 470MHz. The design is based on the SL6609A
but is specifically designed for use in very small pagers i.e.
credit card sized, where local oscillator re-radiation is a
problem. This design has overcome this difficulty.
The device also includes a 1 volt regulator capable of
sourcing up to 5mA, a battery flag and the facility of incorporating
a more complex post detection filter off-chip. Both battery flag
and data outputs have open collector outputs to ease their
interface with other devices.
Adjacent channel rejection is provided using tuneable
gyrator filters. To assist operation in the presence of large
interfering signals both RF and audio AGC functions are
provided.
