Product details
Overview
SA58641DK,112 from NXP Semiconductors is a monolithic FM IF system integrating mixer/oscillator, dual limiting IF amplifiers, quadrature detector, temperature-compensated logarithmic RSSI, voltage regulator, wideband data output, and fast RSSI op amps. It operates down to 3 V, delivers 92 dB IF/limiter gain, supports >500 MHz RF input, and enables DECT/FSK/ASK demodulation with 600 kHz minimum data bandwidth.
For engineers reviewing the SA58641DK,112 datasheet, SA58641DK,112 pinout, SA58641DK,112 application, or SA58641DK,112 equivalent, this page provides verified circuit role (FM IF signal processor), supply range (3–5.5 V), RSSI dynamic range (>90 dB), data bandwidth (≥600 kHz), and power-down current (200 µA) - all critical for portable communications receiver design.
Technical Context
The SA58641DK,112 implements a single-conversion architecture with internal Gilbert cell mixer and oscillator supporting up to 1 GHz LO injection (LC tank) or 150 MHz crystal operation. Its IF section features 330 Ω impedance-matched stages optimized for 10.7 MHz ceramic filters and includes dedicated decoupling pins per amplifier stage.
Quadrature detection uses internally generated IF and externally AC-coupled 90°-shifted IF to drive a Gilbert cell multiplier. The RSSI path employs a temperature-compensated log amplifier followed by a rail-to-rail op amp with feedback pin (RSSI_FEEDBACK) enabling external gain adjustment or filtering without redesigning the core signal chain.
Key Specifications

FAQ
What is the minimum supply voltage required for stable operation of the SA58641DK,112?
The SA58641DK,112 operates stably down to 3.0 V, enabling direct integration into single-cell Li-ion (3.0–4.2 V) or triple-cell NiMH (3.6 V nominal) portable systems without external regulation. At 3 V, key parameters including RSSI linearity, data bandwidth, and mixer conversion gain remain within datasheet specifications, as verified across −40 °C to +85 °C ambient range.
How does the RSSI_FEEDBACK pin (pin 6) function in the SA58641DK,112?
The RSSI_FEEDBACK pin on the SA58641DK,112 provides access to the internal op amp's inverting input, allowing designers to configure external gain (via resistor divider), add low-pass filtering (with RC network), or implement second-order temperature compensation. This pin enables precise calibration of RSSI output voltage versus input RF level without modifying the core logarithmic amplifier, preserving its >90 dB dynamic range and ±2.0 dB thermal stability.
Can the SA58641DK,112 be used with a 9.8 MHz IF for DECT applications?
Yes, the SA58641DK,112 supports 9.8 MHz IF operation as confirmed in Table 8 of the datasheet, where DECT-specific test results show 13 dB mixer gain, 12 dB noise figure, and 700 kHz data bandwidth at 110.592 MHz RF / 9.8 MHz IF. The 330 Ω IF/limiter impedance and 25 MHz small-signal bandwidth ensure stable performance with standard 9.8 MHz ceramic filters without additional matching components.
What is the typical supply current of the SA58641DK,112 at 5 V and room temperature?
The SA58641DK,112 draws 7.5 mA typical supply current at VCC = 5 V and Tamb = 25 °C, as specified in Table 6 (Static Characteristics). This value includes full operation of mixer, IF amplifiers, limiter, quadrature detector, RSSI, and data output circuits. Current remains stable across temperature (see Fig 3), increasing only marginally to ~8.5 mA at +85 °C.
Is the SA58641DK,112 pin-compatible with earlier SA586xx variants?
No, the SA58641DK,112 is not pin-compatible with other SA586xx variants such as SA58640 or SA58642. Pin assignments differ significantly - for example, SA58641DK,112 places RSSI_FEEDBACK on pin 6 and POWER_DOWN_CTRL on pin 8, whereas SA58640 uses pin 6 for IF_AMP_DECOUPL and lacks a dedicated power-down control. Layout reuse is not possible without schematic and footprint revision.
