THIS DOCUMENT IS FOR MAINTENANCE PURPOSES ONLY AND IS NOT RECOMMENDED FOR NEW DESIGNS ADVANCE INFORMATION DS3634 - 2.0 SL1640 IS FOR MAINTENANCE PURPOSES ONLY AND IS NOT RECOMMENDED FOR NEW DESIGNS SL1640 DOUBLE BALANCED MODULATORS The SL1640 is a double balanced modulator intended for use in radio systems at frequencies up to 75MHz. The SL1640 has an integral output load resistor (Pin 5) together with an emitter follower output (Pin 6).

However, for minimum carrier leak at high frequencies the signal input should be driven from a low impedance source, in which case the signal input capacitor reactance should be comparable with the source impedance. Pin 2 must be decoupled to earth via a capacitor which presents the lowest possible impedance at both carrier and signal frequencies. The presence of these frequencies at Pin 2 would give rise to poor rejection figures and to distortion There are two outputs from the SL1640: one is a voltage source of output impedance 350 ohms and 8pF and the other is the emitter of an emitter follower connected to the first output. The output on pin 6 requires a discrete load resistor of not less than 1500 ohms to ground. The emitter follower output should not be used to drive capacitive loads as emitter followers act as detectors under such circumstances with resultant distortion and harmonic generation. Frequency shaping components may be connected to the voltage output and the shaped signal taken from the emitter follower. Signal and carrier leak may be reduced by altering the bias on the carrier and signal input pins, as shown in Fig.3. With carrier but no signal R1 is adjusted for minimum carrier leak A similar network is connected to the carrier input and with signal and carrier present, signal leak is minimised by means of R2.
