DESCRIPTION
SA58641
PIN CONFIGURATION
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).
DK Package
RFIN
The SA58641 was designed for high bandwidth portable
communication applications and will function down to 2.7 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.

NOTES:
1. RF generator: Set your RF generator at 110.592 MHz, use a 100 kHz modulation frequency and a ±288 kHz deviation.
2. Layout: The layout is very critical in the performance of the receiver. We highly recommend our demo board layout.
3. RSSI: The smallest RSSI voltage (i.e., when no RF input is present and the input is terminated) is a measure of the quality of the layout and
design. If the lowest RSSI voltage is 500 mV or higher, it means the receiver is in regenerative mode. In that case, the receiver sensitivity
will be worse than expected.
4. Supply bypass and shielding: All of the inductors, the quad tank, and their shield must be grounded. A 0.1 µF bypass capacitor on the supply
pin improves sensitivity.

insertion loss between the first and second IF stages. If the IF filter
or interstage network does not cause 6 dB(v) insertion loss, a fixed
or variable resistor can be added between the first IF output (Pin 16)
and the interstage network.
CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
The SA58641 is an IF signal processing system suitable for second
IF or single conversion systems with input frequency as high as
1 GHz. The bandwidth of the IF amplifier is about 40 MHz, with
38 dB of gain from a 50 Ω source. The bandwidth of the limiter is
about 28 MHz with about 54 dB of gain from a 50 Ω source.
However, the gain/bandwidth distribution is optimized for 10.7 MHz,
330 Ω source applications. The overall system is well-suited to
battery operation as well as high performance and high quality
products of all types, such as cordless and cellular hand-held
phones.
The signal from the second limiting amplifier goes to a Gilbert cell
quadrature detector. One port of the Gilbert cell is internally driven
by the IF. The other output of the IF is AC-coupled to a tuned
quadrature network. This signal, which now has a 90° phase
relationship to the internal signal, drives the other port of the
multiplier cell.
Overall, the IF section has a gain of 90 dB. For operation at
intermediate frequency at 10.7 MHz. Special care must be given to
layout, termination, and interstage loss to avoid instability.
The input stage is a Gilbert cell mixer with oscillator. Typical mixer
characteristics include a noise figure of 14 dB, conversion gain of
11 dB, and input third-order intercept of –16 dBm. The oscillator will
operate in excess of 1 GHz in L/C tank configurations. Hartley or
Colpitts circuits can be used up to 100 MHz for xtal configurations.
Butler oscillators are recommended for xtal configurations up to
150 MHz.
The demodulated output (DATA) of the quadrature is a voltage
output. This output is designed to handle a minimum bandwidth of
600 kHz. This is designed to demodulate wideband data, such as in
DECT applications.
The output of the mixer is internally loaded with a 330 Ω resistor
permitting direct connection to a 10.7 MHz ceramic filter for
narrowband applications. The input resistance of the limiting IF
amplifiers is also 330 Ω. With most 10.7 MHz ceramic filters and
many crystal filters, no impedance matching network is necessary.
For applications requiring wideband IF filtering, such as DECT,
external LC filters are used (see Figure 10). To achieve optimum
linearity of the log signal strength indicator, there must be a 6 dB(v)
2004 Dec 16
A Receive Signal Strength Indicator (RSSI) completes the circuitry.
The output range is greater than 90 dB and is temperature
compensated. This log signal strength indicator exceeds the criteria
for AMPS or TACS cellular telephone, DECT and RCR-28 cordless
telephone. This signal drives an internal op amp. The op amp is
capable of rail-to-rail output. It can be used for gain, filtering, or
2nd-order temperature compensation of the RSSI, if needed.
NOTE: dB(v) = 20log VOUT/VIN
