DESCRIPTION
The MAS1016B 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. WWVB in USA and JJY in Japan require use of AGC control procedure, which is simplified in MAS1016B.
