M I C R O T U N E ® MT1120 AUTOMOTIVE AM/FM ANTENNA AMPLIFIER SUBSYSTEM PRELIMINARY PRODUCT BRIEF The MT1120 is a highly integrated and complete RF amplifier subsystem for active AM/FM antennas The MT1120 is an advanced, lowpower, highly integrated single-chip amplifier IC specifically designed for automotive AM/FM antenna systems requiring low noise and very low distortion. Additionally, the MT1120 integrates two true-RMS power detectors and two uncommitted op-amps in order to realize an AGC function for AM and FM by simply adding external PIN diodes. The thresholds of the AM and FM AGC function are variable and can be set according to the application requirements. The on-chip 2.5V temperature compensated reference generator and high output voltage op-amp combine to form a low-cost, reliable, automotive-capable power supply which can be directly derived from the car battery. The MT1120 is capable of amplifying signals with frequencies in the 0.15 MHz to 30 MHz range for AM and 76 MHz to 162.4 MHz range for FM. External components determine the gain of the AM and FM amplifiers and can also be modified to extend the operating frequency of the MT1120. The AM amplifier uses a highly sophisticated design technology in order to reach low noise, very low distortion, high input impedance and its capability to drive very low output impedance. The FM amplifier is matched to 50 ohms and is specially designed to perform with very low noise and distortion. The small 28-pin QFN package of the MT1120 and the requirement for minimal external components enables a compact, cost-effective solution fulfilling automotive requirements.
