Low voltage high performance mixer FM IF
system with high-speed RSSI
SA626
DESCRIPTION
The SA626 is a low-voltage high performance monolithic FM IF
system incorporating a mixer/oscillator, two limiting intermediate
frequency amplifiers, quadrature detector, high speed logarithmic
received signal strength indicator (RSSI), voltage regulator and
audio and fast RSSI op amps. The SA626 is available in 20-lead
SOL (surface-mounted small outline large package) and 20-lead
SSOP (shrink small outline package).
The SA626 was designed for high bandwidth portable
communication applications and will function down to 2.7V. The RF
section is similar to the famous NE605. The audio and RSSI
outputs have amplifiers. The RSSI output has access to the
feedback pin. This enables the designer to level adjust the outputs
or add filtering.
SA626 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.
