The ML13150 is a narrowband FM IF subsystem targeted at
cellular and other analog applications. The ML13150 has an
onboard Colpitts VCO that can be crystal controlled or phased
lock for second LO in dual conversion receivers. The mixer is a
double balanced configuration with excellent third order intercept. It is useful to beyond 200 MHz. The IF amplifier is split to
accommodate two low cost cascaded filters. RSSI output is
derived by summing the output of both IF sections., The quadrature detector is a unique design eliminating the conventional
tunable quadrature coil.

ML13150 CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The ML13150 is a very low power single conversion narrowband FM receiver incorporating a split IF. This device
can be used as a single conversion or as the backend in
analog narrowband FM systems such as 900 MHz cordless phones, and narrowband data links with data rates up
to 9.6 k baud. It contains a mixer, oscillator, extended
range received signal strength indicator (RSSI), RSSI
buffer, IF amplifier, limiting IF, a unique coilless quadrature detector and a device enabler function (see Package
Pin Outs/Block Diagram).
LOW CURRENT OPERATION
The ML13150 is designed for battery and portable
applications. Supply current is typically 1.7 mAdc at 3.0
Vdc. Figure 2 shows the supply current versus supply
voltage.
ENABLE
The enable function is provided for battery powered
operation. The enabled pin is pulled down to enable the
regulators. Figure 3 shows the supply current versus
enable voltage, Venable (relative to VCC) needed to
enable the device. Note that the device is fully enabled at
VCC - 1.3 Vdc. Figure 4 shows the relationship of the
enable current, Ienable, to enable voltage, Venable.
MIXER
The mixer is a double-balanced four quadrant multiplier
and is designed to work up to 500 MHz. It has a single
ended input. Figure 5 shows the mixer gain and saturated
output response as a function of input signal drive and for
–10 dBm LO drive level. This is measured in the application circuit shown in Figure 15 in which a single LC
matching network is used. Since the single–ended input
impedance of the mixer is 200 Ω, and alternate solution
uses a 1:4 impedance transformer to match the mixer to
50 Ω input impedance. The linear voltage gain of the
mixer alone is approximately 4.0 dB (plus an additional
6.0 dB for the transformer). Figure 6 shows the mixer
gain versus the LO input level for various mixer input
levels at 50 MHz RF input.
Page 4 of 20
The buffered output of the mixer is internally loaded,
resulting in an output impedance of 1.5kΩ.
LOCAL OSCILLATOR
The on–chip transistor operates with crystal and LC
resonant elements up to 220 MHz. Series resonant,
overtone crystals are used to achieve excellent local
oscillator stability. 3rd overtone crystals are used through
about 65 to 70 MHz. Operation for 70 MHz up to 200
MHz is feasible using the on–chip transistor with a 5th or
7th overtone crystal. To enhance operation using an
overtone crystal, the internal transistor's bias is increased
by adding an external resistor from Pin 29 (in 32 pin QFP
package) to VEE to keep the oscillator on continuously or
it may be taken to the enable pin to shut is off when the
receiver is disabled. –10 dBm of local oscillator drive is
needed to adequately drive the mixer (Figure 6). The
oscillator configurations specified above are described in
the application section.
RSSI
The received signal strength indicator (RSSI) output is a
current proportional to the log of the received signal
amplitude. The RSSI current output is derived by
summing the currents from the IF and limiting amplifier
stages. An external resistor at Pin 25 (in 32 pin QFP
package) sets the voltage range or swing of the RSSI
output voltage. Linearity of the RSSI is optimized by
using external ceramic bandpass filters which have an
insertions loss of 4.0 dB. The RSSI circuit is designed to
provide 100+ dB of dynamic range with temperature
compensation (see Figures 7 and 23 which show the RSSI
response of the applications circuit).
RSSI BUFFER
The RSSI buffer has limitations in what loads it can
drive. It can pull loads well towards the positive and
negative supplies, but has problems pulling the load away
from the supplies. The load should be biased at half
supply to overcome this situation.

IF AMPLIFIER
The first IF amplifier section is composed of three differential
stages. This section has internal dc feedback and external
input decoupling for improved symmetry and stability. The
total gain of the IF amplifier block is approximately 42 dB at
455 kHz. Figure 8 shows the gain of the IF amplifier as a
function of the IF frequency.
The fixed internal input impedance is 1.5 kΩ; it is designed
for applications where a 455 kHz ceramic filter is used and
no external output matching is necessary since the filter
requires a 1.5 kΩ source and load impedance.
Overall RSSI linearity is dependent on having total midband
attenuation of 10 dB (4.0 insertion loss plus 6.0 dB
impedance matching loss) for the filter. The output of the IF
amplifier is buffered and the impedance if 1.5kΩ.
LIMITER
The limiter section is similar to the IF amplifier section
except that six stages are used. The fixed internal input
impedance is 1.5 kΩ. The total gain of the limiting
amplifier sections is approximately 96 dB. This IF limiting
amplifier section internally drives the quadrature detector
section.

COILLESS DETECTOR
The quadrature detector is similar to a PLL. There is an internal oscillator running at the IF frequency and two detector
outputs. One is used to deliver the audio signal and the other
one is filtered and used to tune the oscillator.
The oscillator frequency is set by and external resistor at the
Fadj pin. Figure 9 shows the control current required for a
particular frequency; Figure 10 shows the pin voltage at that
current. From this the value of RF is chosen. For example,
455 kHz would require a current of around 50 µA. The pin
voltage (Pin 16 in the 32 pin QFP package) is around 655mV
giving a resistor of 13.1 kΩ. Choosing 12 kΩ as the nearest
standard value gives a current of approximately 55 µA. The
5.0 µA difference can be taken up by the tuning resistor, RT.
The best nominal frequency for the AFTout pin (Pin 17)
would be half supply. A supply voltage of 3.0 Vdc suggests a
resistor value of (1.5 – 0.655) V/5.0 µA = 169 kΩ. Choosing
150 kΩ would give a tuning current of 3/150 kΩ = 20 µA.
From Figure 9 this would give a tuning range of roughly 10
kHz/µA or ± 100 kHz which should be adequate.
The bandwidth can be adjusted with the help of Figure 11.
10–4
So, for example, 150 kΩ and 1.0 µF give a 3.0 dB point of
4.5 kHz. The recovered audio is set by RL to give roughly
50mV per kHz deviation per 100 k of resistance. The dc
level can be shifted by RS from the nominal 0.68 V by the
following equation:
Detector DC Output = ((RL + RS)/RS) 0.68 Vdc
Thus RS = RL sets the output at 2 x 0.68 = 1.36 V; RL =
2RS sets the output at 3 x .068 = 2.0V.

DEMODULATOR OUTPUT (dB)

10–3
For example, 1.0 µA would give a band width of ± 13 kHz.
The voltage across the bandwidth resistor, RB from Figure 12
is VCC – 2.44 Vdc = 0.56 Vdc for VCC = 3.0 Vdc, so RB =
0.56V/1.0 µA = 560 kΩ. Actually the locking range will be
±13 kHz while the audio bandwidth wil be approximately
±8.4 kHz due to an internal filter capacitor. This is verified in
Figure 13. For some applications it may be desireable that the
audio bandwidth is increased; this is done by reducing RB.
Reducing RB widens the detector bandwidth and improves
the distortion at high input levels at the expense of 12 dB
SINAD sensitivity. The low frequency 3.0dB point is set by
the tuning circuit such that the product

Legacy Applications Information
EVALUATION PC BOARD
The evaluation PCB is very versatile and is intended to be
used across the entire useful frequency range of this device.
The center section of the board provides an area for attaching
all SMT components to the circuit side and radial leaded
components to the component ground side (see Figures 29
and 30). Additionally, the peripheral area surrounding the RF
core provides pads to add supporting and interface circuitry
as a particular application requires. There is an area dedicated
for a LNA preamp. This evaluation board will be discussed
and referenced in this section.
COMPONENT SELECTION
The evaluation PC board is designed to accommodate specific components, while also being versatile enough to use components from various manufacturers and coil types. The applications circuit schematic (Figure 15) specifies particular components that were used to achieve the results shown in the
typical curves but equivalent components should give similar
results. Component placement views are shown in Figures 27
and 28 for the application circuit in Figure 15 and for the
83.616 MHz crystal oscillator circuit in Figure 16.
INPUT MATCHING COMPONENTS
The input matching circuit shown in the application circuit
schematic (Figure 15) is a series L, shunt C single L section
which is used to match the mixer input to 50 Ω. An alternative input network may use 1:4 surface mount transformers or
BALUNs. The 12 dB SINAD sensitivity using the 1:4 impedance transformer is typically –100 dBm for fmod = 1.0 kHz
and fdev = ±5.0 kHz at f in = 50 MHz and fLO = 50.455
MHz (see Figure 14).
It is desirable to use a SAW filter before the mixer to provide
additional selectivity an adjacent channel rejection and
improved sensitivity. SAW filters sourced from Toko (Part
#SWS083GBWA) and Murata (Part # SAF83.16MA51X) are
excellent choices to easily interface with the MC13150 mixer.
They are packaged in a 12 pin low profile surface mount
ceramic package. The center frequency is 83.161 MHz and
the 3.0 dB bandwidth is 30 kHz.

LOCAL OSCILLATORS
HF & VHF APPLICATIONS
In the application schematic, an external sourced local oscillator is utilized in which the base is biased via a 51 Ω resistor to
VCC. However, the on–chip grounded collector transistor may
be used for HF and VHF local oscillators with higher order
overtone crystals. Figure 16 shows a 5th overtone oscillator at
83.616 MHz. The circuit uses a Butler overtone oscillator configuration. The amplifier is an emitter follower. The crystal is
driven from the emitter and is coupled to the high impedance
base through a capacitive tap network. Operation at the desired
overtone frequency is ensured by the parallel resonant circuit
formed by the variable inductor and the tap capacitors and parasitic capacitances of the on–chip transistor and PC board. The
variable inductor specified in the schematic could be replaced
with a high tolerance, high Q ceramic or air wound surface
mount component if the other components have tight enough
tolerance. A variable inductor provides an adjustment for gain
and frequency of the resonant tank ensuring lock up and
start–up of the crystal oscillator. The overtone crystal is chosen
with ESR of typically 80 Ω and 120 Ω maximum; if the resistive loss in the crystal is too high the performance of oscillator
may be impacted by lower gain margins.
A series LC network to ac ground (which is VCC) is comprised of the inductance of the base lead of on–chip transistor
and PC board traces and tap capacitors. Parasitic oscillations
often occur in the 200 to 800 MHz range. A small resistor is
placed in series with the base (Pin 28) to cancel the negative
resistance associated with this undesired mode of oscillation.
Since the base input impedance is so large, a small resistor in
the range of 27 to 68 Ω has very little effect on the desired
Butler mode of oscillation.
The crystal parallel capacitance, Co, provides a feedback path
that is low enough in reactance at frequencies of 5th overtones or higher to cause trouble. Co has little effect near resonance because of the low impedance of the crystal motional
arm (Rm-Lm-Cm). As the tunable inductor, which forms the
resonant tank with the tap capacitors, is tuned off the crystal
resonant frequency, it may be difficult to tell if the oscillation
is under crystal control. Frequency jumps may occur as the
inductor is tuned. In order to eliminate this behavior an inductor, Lo, is placed in parallel with the crystal. Lo is chosen to
resonant with the crystal parallel capacitance, Co, at the
desired operation frequency. This inductor provides a feedback path at frequencies well below resonance; however, the
parallel tank network of the tap capacitors and tunable inductor prevent oscillation at these frequencies.

RECEIVER DESIGN CONSIDERATIONS
The curves of signal levels at various portions of the application receiver with respect to RF input level are shown in
Figure 17. This information helps determine the network
topology and gain blocks required ahead of the ML13150 to
achieve the desired sensitivity and dynamic range of the
receiver system. The PCB is laid out to accommodate a low
noise preamp followed by the 83.16 MHz SAW filter. In the
application circuit (Figure 15), the input 1.0 dB compression
point is –10 dBm and the input third order intercept (IP3) performance of the system is approximately 0 dBm (see Figure
18).
