DA9178.001 10 Dec, 2003 MAS9178 AM Receiver IC • • • • • • • DESCRIPTION The MAS9178 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 receiver. 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. Unlike MAS1016A and MAS1016B, MAS9178 does not require AGC control procedure in WWVB and JJY systems. MAS9178A1 has differential input and internal 0.875 pF compensation capacitor for crystal shunt capacitance compensation. MAS9178A5 requires external compensation capacitor for crystal shunt capacitance compensation. It can be used with crystals that do not match with fixed 0.875 pF compensation capacitance of MAS9178A1.
