MC13135 MC13136
TEST CIRCUIT INFORMATION
Although the MC13136 can be operated with a ceramic
discriminator, the recovered audio measurements for both
the MC13135 and MC13136 are made with an LC quadrature
detector. The typical recovered audio will depend on the
external circuit; either the Q of the quad coil, or the RC
matching network for the ceramic discriminator. On the
MC13136, an external capacitor between Pins 13 and 14 can
be used with a quad coil for slightly higher recovered audio.
See Figures 10 through 13 for additional information.
Since adding a matching circuit to the RF input increases
the signal level to the mixer, the third order intercept (TOI)
point is better with an unmatched input (50
Ω
from Pin 21 to
Pin 22). Typical values for both have been included in the
Electrical Characterization Table. TOI measurements were
taken at the pins with a high impedance probe/spectrum
analyzer system. The first mixer input impedance was
measured at the pin with a network analyzer.
