The RSSI output is 100% dynamically tested at 5V and +20° C over a 70dB range. First the input to pin 14 is set to 2.5mV and the RSSI current recorded Then for each step of 10dB from -40 to +30dB the current is measured again. The current change in each step must meet the specified figure for current change. The RSSI output is guaranteed monotonic and free from discontinuities over this range. 2. Co-channel rejection is measured by applying a 3kHz deviation, 1 kHz modulated signal at an input level to give a 20dB SINAD ratio. Then a 3kHz deviation, 400Hz modulated signal on the same frequency is also applied and its level increased to degrade the SINAD to 14dB.

It comprises: of oscillator is suitable for the type of crystal and frequency required; it may not always be adequate to duplicate the design shown in this data sheet. ● ● ● ● ● ● IF amplifier A mixer stage for use up to lOOMHz An uncommitted transistor for use as an oscillator A current sink for biasing this transistor A limiting amplifier operating up to 1.5MHz A quadrature detector with differential AF output An RSSI (Received Signal Strength Indicator) output The limiting amplifier is capable of operation to at least 1 MHz and the input impedance is set by an external resistor to match the ceramic filter. Because of the high gain, pins 12 and 13 must be adequately bypassed. Mixer Detector The mixer is single balanced with an active load. Gain is set externally by the load resistor although the value is normally determined by that required for matching into the ceramic filter. It is possible to use a tuned circuit but an increase in mixer gain will result in a corresponding reduction of the mixer input intercept point. The RF input is a diode-biased transistor with a bias current of typically 300µA. The oscillator input is differential but would normally be driven single-ended. Special care should be taken to avoid accidental overload of the oscillator input. A conventional quadrature detector is fed internally from the IF amplifier; the quadrature input is fed externally using an appropriate capacitor and phase shift network. A differential output is provided to feed a comparator for digital use, although it can also be used to provide AFC. Oscillator The oscillator consists of an uncommitted transistor and a separate current sink. The user should ensure that the design RSSI output The RSSI output is a current source with value proportional to the logarithm of the IF input signal amplitude. There is a small residual current due to noise within the amplifier (and mixer) but beyond this point there is a measured and guaranteed 70dB dynamic range. The typical range extends to 92dB, independent of frequency, and with exceptionally good temperature and supply voltage stability. SL6654 Supply voltage Detector The SL6652 will operate reliably from 2.5V to 7.5V The supply line must be decoupled with 470nF using short leads. The internal band gap reference must be externally decoupled. It can be used as an external reference but must not be loaded heavily; the output impedance is tyically 14 ohms.
