Advance Information

Wideband FM IF Subsystem

The MC13159 is a wideband FM IF subsystem that is designed for high

performance data and digital applications. Excellent high frequency

performance is achieved, with low cost, through the use of Motorola’s RF

bipolar process. The MC13159 includes a mixer, local oscillator buffer

amplifier, IF amplifier, limiter amplifier and RSSI functions. The mixer is

useful for a 240 MHz input used in a single–ended/balanced differential

configuration. The IF and limiter amplifier are separated so that an external

filter can be used in series, or connected directly with an external capacitor.

The RSSI output is derived by summing the output of both the IF and

Limiter sections. An enable control is provided to power down the IC for

power management in battery powered applications.

Suitable applications include PHS, DECT, PDC, and PCS telephones,

wideband wireless data links, and other battery powered radio systems.
