DESCRIPTION

The NE/SA604A is an improved monolithic low-power FM IF system incorporating two limiting intermediate frequency amplifiers, quadrature detector, muting, logarithmic received signal strength indicator, and voltage regulator. The NE/SA604A features higher IF bandwidth (25MHz) and temperature compensated RSSI and limiters permitting higher performance application compared with the NE/SA604. The NE/SA604A is available in a 16-lead dual-in-line plastic and 16-lead SO (surface-mounted miniature) package.

FEATURES

• Low power consumption: 3.3mA typical

• Temperature compensated logarithmic Received Signal Strength Indicator (RSSI) with a dynamic range in excess of 90dB

• Two audio outputs - muted and unmuted

• Low external component count; suitable for crystal/ceramic filters

• Excellent sensitivity: 1.5µV across input pins (0.22µV into 50Ω matching network) for 12dB SINAD (Signal to Noise and Distortion ratio) at 455kHz

• SA604A meets cellular radio specifications

APPLICATIONS

• Cellular radio FM IF

• High performance communications receivers

• Intermediate frequency amplification and detection up to 25MHz

• RF level meter

• Spectrum analyzer
