General
The frequency- converted RF signal goes through an external narrow or wide bandwidth BPF and is inputted to Pin 2 as unbalanced input, otherwise inputted to Pin2 and Pin3 as balanced input. The available frequency range of IF signals are from 100kHz to 15MHz. The IF amplifier is a limiting amplifier with 75dB gain and converts IF input signal to an amplitude - limiting IF signal. The FM demodulator consists of an external phase shifter circuit and an internal quadrature detector. It demodulates the amplitude - limiting IF signal and outputs to Pin10 as AF output signal. The demodulated AF output signal is the rail-to-rail output of 2.7Vpp with the maximum bandwidth of up to 1MHz. Pin6 is the output of RSSI circuit, which outputs DC level proportional to the log of input signal level to Pin 2. NJM2549 has other remarkable functions: balanced input/ output (Pins 2, 3, 7and 8), and pin-selectable for either of two demodulation characteristics (Pin7and 8).

IF Amplifier (Pins 2, 3, 4, 7, and 8)

Input impedance Pin2 and Pin 3 are the input terminal for IF input signal. Pin2 is used for unbalanced input, and a pair of Pin 2 and Pin3 is used for balanced input. As one general example of unbalanced input, IF signal is supplied to Pin 2 through an external band-pass filter and a matching resistor R1 in parallel. In general, the matching impedance of the filter is 330ohm. Pin 2 is designed to have input impedance of 10kohm much higher than 330ohm, and R1 should be 330ohm

as the same value of the matching impedance. When you connect measurement equipment to Pin2, recommended value of R1 is 50ohm that is the same value of output impedance of the equipment. For the case of unbalanced input, a decoupling capacitor C2 is necessary to locate between Pin 3 and GND line. The impedance of this decoupling capacitor should be adequately low at IF frequency to keep Pin3 close to the GND line level of NJM2549. Note that for larger value of decoupling capacitance, startup-waiting time of operating voltage is longer because of larger time constant formed by the capacitance and the input impedance of Pin3. For your reference, our evaluation board uses 0.01uF for 10.7MHz IF frequency. Gain IF limiter amplifier is a six-stage differential amplifier with balanced inputs of Pin2 and Pin3. The IF input signal is amplified and then supplied to both of the internal quadrature detector and the external phase shifter of FM demodulation circuit. Total gain of the IF limiter amplifier is so high value, approximately 75dB at 10.7Hz that the output signal is an amplitude- limiting signal. This output signal is like a square wave that is required for the normal operation of FM demodulation. The gain is changed by the IF input frequency and the value of the external capacitors of C1, C2 and C3, as shown in the figure. It is recommended that these three capacitors have the same values in capacitance to harmonize each startup-waiting time of operating voltage. C1 is a DC cut capacitor. C2 is a decoupling capacitor when pin2 is unbalanced input. C3 is a noise removal capacitor to remove noise on the resistor feedback path.

Balanced input / output NJM2549 features balanced input. It is available to connect directly to the balanced output circuit that precedes NJM2549. When input signal is small so that output signal of IF amplifier is not limited amplitude, balanced input is effective to remove common noise from input signal. When FM demodulator circuit is not required and NJM2549 uses just for a high gain limiter amplifier, the balanced output can be available. This is effective to reduce the susceptibility of external noise while allowing the usage of longer line between the output terminals and the next stage.

FM Demodulator (Pins 7 to 10)

The signal from IF amplifier is put into the FM demodulator. The FM demodulator is composed of an internal quadrature detector and an external phase shifter. The quadrature detector is a multiplier and needs two kinds of input signal. One is the original IF signal including a carrier signal and a FM modulated signal. The other is 90-degree shifted IF signal, which is the output of the phase shifter. The demodulated signal from the quadrature detector is brought out at Pin 10. Note that the supply voltage to phase-shifter should be the same as the supply voltage to Pin 1.

Phase shifter The phase shifter is an external circuit that is composed of a capacitor and RLC resonant circuit. The capacitor is placed between Pin9 and Pin8 (or between Pin9 and Pin7) to increase the IF signal to the external parallel RLC resonant circuit that provides the 90-degree phase shift and drives the quadrature detector. Pin 9 provides for the external RLC parallel resonant circuit and the internal connection to the quadrature detector. Instead of LC resonant circuit, a ceramic discriminator can be also used and it is very useful to delete a frequency adjustment and obtain higher Q. The resonant frequency of the ceramic discriminator or the LC resonant circuit is the same as IF frequency of IF input signal. In general,

most of ceramic discriminators are designed for the specific ICs to optimize some important performance of the FM demodulator. The ceramic discriminator CD: CDSCB10MGA144-R0 (Murata Manufacturing Co., Ltd., Japan) is especially designed for NJM2549, when using IF frequency of 10.7MHz. Pin9 needs bias through a resistor. The bias voltage should be the same as the supply voltage V+. When the detector is not used, Pin9 should be connected to V+. The resistor Rd is not only used for bias but also for the adjustment of the important characteristics of the detector circuit.

S-curve The S-curve is the characteristics of detector output level versus IF frequency deviation. This characteristic is determined by the performance of the phase shifter. Demodulated DC Level versus Frequency The following mentions how to determine the value of the phase ( S-curve, BW:200kHz, Supply Voltage ) shifter. The quadrature detector is coupled to the IF with and a 5 capacitor Cp between Pin9 and Pin8 (or between Pin9 and Pin7). For wideband applications, the drive to the detector can be 4 increased with this additional external capacitor and the V+ =9.0V demodulated signal level output is increased for a given bandwidth. 3 3.0V The wideband performance of the detector is controlled by the 2.7V loaded Q of the LC tank circuit. The following equation defines the fif=10.7MHz 2 components which set the detector circuits bandwidth: Q=Rd / X 1.1V Typ. 1 where Rd is the equivalent shunt resistance across the LC tank. X is the reactance of the quadratue inductor at the IF frequency (X=2 0 fif L). The inductor and capacitor are chosen to form a resonant LC 10.6 10.65 10.7 10.75 10.8 tank at the desired IF center frequency as predicated by;

where Ld is the parallel tank inductor, C9 is the equivalent parallel capacitance of the parallel resonant tank circuit. The following is one of the examples of actual step to obtain the suitable values of Cp, Cq, Lq and R. 1. Determine the value of Cq and Lq from the relative expression as shown above.It is very convenient to use an IF transformer with built-in Cq, which has high Q and the resonance frequency of fif. 2. Add a capacitor of a few pF as Cp and measure S-curve. Change Cp until the center frequency of S-curve comes to the resonance frequency of fif a. Considering the following items, choose Rd. b. The position of fif is at the center of S-curve c. The position of fif-f and fif+f is on the linear area of S-curve. d. The frequency stability and accuracy of received RF signal and local signal are influenced to the stability of IF signal. e. If the stability is not so good, the position of fif-f should be located far from the bottom of S-curve. The position of fif+f should be also located far from the top of S-curve. In next page, there is a drawing that shows how to adjust S-curve to obtain the suitable demodulated signal.

Total width of FM Deviation of IF signal fif fdev deviation is the double of fdev. When the width of FM deviation is within the linear area of S-curve, FM demodulation is done well. If the H width of FM deviation is too large and the L XH frequency of fif-fdev and fif+fdev is out of the L L linear area, FM demodulation is not done well. H L Or you have to change Rd or Q of tank circuit to fif- f fif fif+ f make the linear area wider. For example, if the center frequency of IF input signal is 10.7MHz and maximum FM deviation is +- 5kHz, FM demodulated signal has the frequency range of 10.695MHz to 10.705MHz. This frequency range is within the linear area of S-curve-0. If the maximum FM deviation is +-10kHz, this signal will move from10.69MHz to 10.71MHz. This signal is demodulated on the non-linear area and may have big distortion. Changing the value of the external resistor Rd and Q of the tank circuit, the width of linear area on the S-curve can be adjusted, as shown as S curve-1. When the linear area becomes wider, the demodulated output level becomes smaller because tilt angle of S-curve smaller. In the case of +-50kHz of FM deviation, it is difficult to have such a wide linear area from 10.65MHz to 10.75MHz by reducing the value of the external resistor.

Selectable two modes of S-Curve or N-curve The characteristics of detector output level versus IF frequency deviation is available in two modes selectable via Pin7 and Pin8. One is, as explained, S-curve and the other is N-curve. The S-curve characteristic features S-like shape of the curve. So we call S-curve. According to the S-curve characteristic, as the frequency of IF carrier signal goes up, the AF output level increase. On the other hand, the N-curve characteristic features N-like shape of the curve, and the AF output level increase as the IF carrier frequency goes down.

Demodulated DC Level versus Frequency and R2

AF output level The FM demodulated signal from the quadrature detector is brought out at Pin 10. AF output level at Pin10 is determined by deviation of IF signal, tilt angle of S-curve, external load resistance connected to Pin10 and supply voltage. The figure is the S-curve of NJM2549 measured under our standard test condition. The resulting curve shows how external resistor of R2 effects the tilt angle of S-curve and the expected maximum output level at Pin10, where R2 is an external resistor of FM demodulator used as the same meaning of Rd.

The maximum output level is approximately 90% of supply voltage under the following condition: RL> V+ / 205uA where RL is the value of external load resistance connected to pin10. It is important to set DC level of detector output at Pin10 to center the peak-to-peak swing of the demodulated signal. In addition, tilt angle of S-curve should be high enough to obtain large output level.

LPF for removing noise from AF output signal The frequency bandwidth of demodulated signal is up to 1000kHz under the standard measurement condition of NJM2549. This performance is much enough to use for low bit-rate data demodulation. On the other hand, AF output signal contains the factor of IF carrier signal and many harmonics and these noise factors exacerbate S/N (signal to noise ratio). A by-pass capacitor is useful to remove these noise factors. The 3rd-multiple feedback filter is a low pass active filter and more effective to remove the factor of high frequency signal from the demodulated output signal. It is composed of three resistors, three capacitors and an amplifier. The cut-off frequency fc of the filter is obtained by

fc=

where Ra=Rb=Rc or Ca=Cb=Cc

In the case of digital data demodulation, fc is determined by the following formula.

RSSI (Pin6)
RSSI is a received signal strength indicator and outputs DC voltage, which voltage is proportional to the log of the IF signal amplitude. The internal resistance at pin 6 is around 15k ohm and RSSI output is voltage mode. The RSSI circuit provides dynamic range of typically 60dB. The change of RSSI output voltage has a transient response against the change of IF input signal level. The curve of RSSI response is determined by the two factors: 1. Time constant: T=CEXT x R0 RSSI 2. The difference of voltage: Vrssi(T1) Vrssi(T2) where CEXT: external capacitance connected at pin6 R0 RSSI : RSSI Output Resistance (internal resistor)

When the RSS is not used, unused RSSIOUT pin (Pin6) is left open. When the IF output is not used, it is recommended that unused IF OUT pins (Pin7 and 8) are left open.

Noise and Sensitivity
This document specify the following characteristics related to noise and sensitivity at low input signal level: S/N, -3dB limiting sensitivity, 12dB SINAD, and AMR. In general, the ways of improving these characteristics are: 1) To increase AF OUT output level of demodulated signal 2) To remove noise factor The way to increase AF OUT output level is already mentioned. As an example of how to remove noise factor, adding LPF at AF OUT is effective, especially to remove the factor of IF carrier signal and its harmonics involved in demodulated signal. The following characteristics show the effect of an additional LPF. An additional LPF is not connected:
