Philips Semiconductors
High performance low power FM IF system with
high-speed RSSI
Product specification
SA624
DESCRIPTION
The SA624 is pin-to-pin compatible with the SA604A, but has faster
RSSI rise and fall time. The SA624 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 SA624
features higher IF bandwidth (25MHz) and temperature
compensated RSSI and limiters permitting higher performance
application compared with the SA604. The SA624 is available in
16-lead SO (surface-mounted miniature) package.
FEATURES
• Low power consumption: 3.4mA typical
• Temperature compensated logarithmic Received Signal Strength
Indicator (RSSI) with a dynamic range in excess of 90dB
• Fast RSSI rise and fall time
• 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
• SA624 meets cellular radio specifications
