DESCRIPTION
The SA617 is a low voltage high performance monolithic FM IF system incorporating a mixer/oscillator, two limiting intermediate frequency amplifiers, quadrature detector, logarithmic received signal strength indicator (RSSI), voltage regulator and audio and RSSI op amps. The SA617 is available in 20-lead SSOP package.

FEATURES
•Low power consumption: 3.5mA typical at 3V
•Mixer input to >150MHz
•Mixer conversion power gain of 17dB at 45MHz
•XTAL oscillator effective to 150MHz (L.C. oscillator or external oscillator can be used at higher frequencies)
•102dB of IF Amp/Limiter gain
•2MHz IF amp/limiter small signal bandwidth
•Temperature compensated logarithmic Received Signal Strength Indicator (RSSI) with a 80dB dynamic range
•Low external component count; suitable for crystal/ceramic/LC filters
•Excellent sensitivity: 0.31µV into 50Ωmatching network for 12dB
  SINAD (Signal to Noise and Distortion ratio) for 1kHz tone, 8kHz
  deviation with RF at 45MHz and IF at 455kHz
