constant is longer.
A unique feature of the data slicer is that inverting switching stages
in the comparator are supplied through the emitter pin of the output
transistor (Pin 22 – DS Gnd) to VEE rather than internally to VEE.
This is provided in order to reduce switching feedback to the front
end. A control pin is provided to shut the data slicer output off (DS
“off ” – Pin 19). With DS “off ” pin at VCC the data slicer output is
shut off by shutting down the base drive to the output transistor.
When a channel is being monitored to make an RSSI measurement,
but not to collect data, the data output may be shut off to save cur-
rent.
