Product specification
Low power FM IF system
SA614A
AC ELECTRICAL CHARACTERISTICS
Typical reading at T = 25°C; V = +6V, unless otherwise stated. IF frequency = 455kHz; IF level = -47dBm; FM modulation = 1kHz with
A
CC
+8kHz peak deviation. Audio output with C-message weighted filter and de-emphasis capacitor. Test circuit Figure 3. The parameters listed
below are tested using automatic test equipment to assure consistent electrical characterristics. The limits do not represent the ultimate
performance limits of the device. Use of an optimized RF layout will improve many of the listed parameters.
