DESCRIPTION
The MAS6179 AM-Receiver chip is a highly sensitive,
simple to use AM receiver specially intended to
receive time signals in the frequency range from 40
kHz to 100 kHz. Only a few external components are
required for time signal receiving. The circuit has
preamplifier, wide range automatic gain control,
demodulator and output comparator built in. The
output signal can be processed directly by an
additional digital circuitry to extract the data from the
received signal. The control for AGC (automatic gain
control) can be used to switch AGC on or off if
necessary. MAS6179 supports up to three frequency
band operation by switching between three crystal
filters and two additional antenna tuning capacitors.
MAS6179 has differential input and two internal
compensation capacitor options for compensating
shunt capacitances of different crystals (See ordering
information on page 10).
