AC ELECTRICAL CHARACTERISTICS

level = -45dBm; FM modulation = 1kHz with

±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.

NOTE:

1. The generator source impedance is 50

Ω, but the SA605 input impedance at Pin 18 is 1500Ω. As a result, IF level refers to the actual signal

that enters the SA605 input (Pin 8) which is about 21dB less than the ”available power” at the generator.
