AC ELECTRICAL CHARACTERISTICS

RF level = –45 dBm; FM modulation = 1 kHz with

±125 kHz peak deviation. Audio output with C-message weighted filter and de-emphasis

capacitor. Test circuit Figure 1. The parameters listed below are tested using automatic test equipment to assure consistent electrical

characteristics. The limits do not represent the ultimate performance limits of the device. Use of an optimized RF layout will improve many of the

listed parameters.
