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).
