4.2.3.2 Low IF Output
The I/Q demodulator output bandwidth has a minimum of 1MHz, typically 1.4MHz (see section 8.1.3.2), so
the output of each I and Q demodulator mixer can be configured to mix down to a low 2nd IF and use a
demodulator output amplifier to provide gain. A typical configuration for the Q channel is shown in Figure 9.

Table 7 Rx Low IF (455kHz) Components
The components above specify, as an example, a particular ceramic filter (F1) that would typically be used
in a 25kHz channel application in a system with an IF frequency of 455kHz. The other component values
specified (e.g. R1, R3) are determined by the input/output impedance of the filter used. The filter and other
components can be easily changed to allow for other bandwidths or any 2nd IF output up to 1MHz.
A different external 2nd IF filter, of different bandwidth, could similarly be connected to the I channel output
to support a second modulation bandwidth mode, e.g. to receive a 6.25kHz channel signal. The channel to
be used is selectable via the general control register ($11), section 6.2, the unused channel being
powered-down.
