Product data sheet
1. General description
The SA58641 is a 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 SA58641 is available in 20-lead SSOP (Shrink Small Outline Package).
The SA58641 was designed for high bandwidth portable communication applications and will function down to 3 V. The RF section is similar to the famous SA605. The data output has a minimum bandwidth of 600 kHz. 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.
SA58641 incorporates a power-down mode which powers down the device when pin 8 (POWER_DOWN_CTRL) is LOW. Power-down logic levels are CMOS and TTL compatible with high input impedance.
2. Features and benefits
Wideband data output (600 kHz minimum) Fast RSSI rise and fall times Low power consumption: 7.5 mA typical at 5 V Mixer input to >500 MHz Mixer noise figure of 12 dB at 240 MHz Crystal oscillator effective to 150 MHz (LC oscillator to 1 GHz local oscillator can be
injected) 92 dB of IF amp/limiter gain 25 MHz limiter small signal bandwidth Temperature ...
