Product details
Overview
SA58640DK,118 from NXP Semiconductors is a low-voltage monolithic FM intermediate frequency (IF) system IC integrating mixer/oscillator, dual limiting IF amplifiers, quadrature detector, logarithmic RSSI, voltage regulator, and rail-to-rail audio/RSSI op amps. It operates at 5 V with 5.0 mA typical supply current, delivers 17 dB mixer conversion gain at 45 MHz, and supports RF input up to 100 MHz - designed specifically for analog cordless telephone receivers.
For engineers reviewing the SA58640DK,118 datasheet, SA58640DK,118 pinout, SA58640DK,118 application, or SA58640DK,118 equivalent, this page provides verified circuit role, SSOP20 pin mapping, 102 dB total IF/limiter gain, 70 dB RSSI dynamic range, and validated alternatives for FM IF signal chain replacement in legacy cordless telephony designs.
Technical Context
The SA58640DK,118 implements a second-IF architecture with a Gilbert-cell mixer followed by cascaded IF amplifier (44 dB gain, 5.5 MHz BW) and limiter (58 dB gain, 4.5 MHz BW), optimized for 455 kHz ceramic filter interfaces. Its internal oscillator supports crystal (≤100 MHz) or LC configurations, and the quadrature detector uses AC-coupled tuned network for 90° phase shift.
Signal path includes temperature-compensated logarithmic RSSI with 70 dB range and two rail-to-rail op amps - one for audio output (120 mV typical at 2× gain), one for RSSI output (0.5–2.4 V across −110 to −50 dBm IF input). Input impedance is matched to 1.5 kΩ at IF_AMP_IN and LIM_IN pins to eliminate external matching networks with standard 455 kHz filters.

Applications
| DECT Cordless Handset Receiver | Analog 900 MHz Cordless Base Station |
|---|---|
|
Use Scenario: Receives 45 MHz IF signal from front-end mixer in DECT-compatible handset, processes FM-demodulated voice and RSSI for channel selection and battery management. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Primary IF signal processor - performs limiting, quadrature detection, audio amplification, and RSSI generation in single-chip solution. Use Value: Reduces component count by >30% versus discrete IF chain; enables compact PCB layout with 2 MHz bandwidth supporting 30 kHz ceramic filters. |
Use Scenario: Processes 455 kHz IF output from superheterodyne front-end in analog 900 MHz base station, delivering clean audio and calibrated RSSI for call quality monitoring. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Dual-function IF subsystem - handles both audio path (C-message weighted, de-emphasis filtered) and RSSI path (temperature compensated, 70 dB range). Use Value: Achieves 12 dB SINAD at −114 dBm RF sensitivity; rail-to-rail op amps drive analog line drivers directly without level-shifting components. |
| FM Wireless Intercom System | Legacy Analog Cordless Telephone Set |
|
Use Scenario: Used in short-range FM intercom units operating at 49 MHz ISM band, where low-power consumption and high adjacent-channel rejection are essential. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Complete IF receiver core - integrates oscillator, IF amplification, limiting, quadrature detection, and dual op amps in one device. Use Value: 50 dB AM rejection suppresses interference from nearby AM broadcast; 102 dB total gain enables use with low-Q ceramic filters and minimal external tuning. |
Use Scenario: Core IF processor in 1990s-era analog cordless phones (e.g., CT0/CT1 standards), replacing multi-stage discrete designs with single IC. IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: Monolithic FM IF system - replaces separate mixer, IF amps, limiter, detector, and op amps with integrated solution.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar FM IF system applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SA58641DK,118 | Same die, identical pinout and electrical specs; differs only in oscillator configuration - supports external LO instead of internal crystal/LC oscillator. | Used when system-level clock source is shared across multiple receivers; requires external 45 MHz LO driver instead of on-chip oscillator. | Select SA58641DK,118 only if external LO synchronization is required; otherwise SA58640DK,118 provides lower BOM cost and simpler layout. |
| MC3359P | Discrete bipolar IF system; 16-pin DIP; requires external oscillator, IF transformers, and op amps; no integrated RSSI or rail-to-rail outputs. | Legacy design requiring manual alignment and higher component count; lacks temperature-compensated RSSI and modern op amp features. | Choose MC3359P only for exact form-fit replacement in obsolete DIP-based designs; SA58640DK,118 offers superior integration, lower power, and smaller footprint. |
Compared with SA58641DK,118 and MC3359P, the SA58640DK,118 delivers highest integration density and lowest external component count for self-contained FM IF receivers, while maintaining pin compatibility with its SA58641DK,118 variant for flexible LO architecture selection.

FAQ
What is the maximum RF input frequency supported by the SA58640DK,118?
The SA58640DK,118 supports RF input frequencies up to 100 MHz, as confirmed by its mixer input specification and oscillator capability. This allows use in 45 MHz, 49 MHz, and 900 MHz cordless telephone bands with appropriate front-end filtering and local oscillator configuration. The SA58640DK,118 datasheet specifies 100 MHz as the upper limit for both RF input and oscillator frequency under standard operating conditions.
Does the SA58640DK,118 require external IF filter matching components?
No, the SA58640DK,118 does not require external IF filter matching components. Its IF amplifier and limiter inputs have a nominal 1.5 kΩ impedance that matches standard 455 kHz ceramic filters (e.g., Murata CFUCF455KB4X-R0) directly. The SA58640DK,118 datasheet explicitly states "no impedance matching network is necessary" for most 455 kHz filters, reducing BOM count and simplifying layout.
What is the typical supply current of the SA58640DK,118 at 5 V?
The SA58640DK,118 draws 5.0 mA typical supply current at 5 V, as specified in Table 4 (Static Characteristics) of the official NXP datasheet. This low quiescent current enables extended battery life in portable cordless handsets. Measured values remain within 5.0–6.0 mA across −40 °C to +85 °C ambient temperature per Figure 3 in the SA58640DK,118 datasheet.
Can the SA58640DK,118 operate with a 3.3 V supply?
No, the SA58640DK,118 is not rated for 3.3 V operation. Its specified supply voltage range is 4.5–6.0 V, with an absolute maximum of 7 V. Operation below 4.5 V may result in degraded performance including reduced gain, increased noise figure, and unstable oscillator operation. The SA58640DK,118 datasheet defines 4.5 V as the minimum recommended supply voltage for guaranteed functionality.
What type of oscillator configuration does the SA58640DK,118 support?
The SA58640DK,118 supports crystal oscillator configurations up to 100 MHz using Hartley or Colpitts topologies, as well as LC tank oscillators for higher-frequency applications. It does not support external LO injection - that function is implemented in the pin-compatible SA58641DK,118 variant. The SA58640DK,118 oscillator section is fully integrated with dedicated OSCIN and OSCOUT pins for external tank component connection.
