Controlled Sensitivity Setting Information
The sensitivity figures in Table 4 are based on the following:
1. The recommended amplifier components (see Figure 2) are used, providing an amplifier gain at 16kHz
of 19.8dB ±0.3dB or at 12kHz of 19.1dB ±0.3dB.
2. A comparator sensitivity of 1.6dB(ref.) ±1dB (the variation is due to filter gain error, filter output offset,
comparator input offset or a combination of all 3).
3. The applied V
DD
is 5.0 volts; 0dB (ref.) = 775mV
RMS
.

These states should never be used. If sensitivities of this order are required (e.g. the Swedish Rural
SPM specification), it is recommended that the Controlled Sensitivity setting be set to 20dB (10100)
and external components selected to set the Input Amp gain to a higher figure. This action will
prevent falsing by sub-harmonic frequencies.
