MX641 Preliminary Information

4.3.2 Fixed Sensitivity Setting

In this mode the sensitivity of each channel is set by the correct selection of the components around the

Channel Input Amplifier. Note that the device sensitivity is directly proportional to the applied power supply

(VDD) and that the gain bandwidth product of the input opamp can attenuate the SPM signal gain at some

input gain configurations.

4.3.2.1 Input Gain Calculation

The input amplifier, with external circuitry, is used to set the sensitivity of the MX641 to conform to the user's

national level specification with regard to ‘Must’ and ‘Must-Not’ decode signal levels.

With reference to the graph in Figure 7, the following steps will assist in the determination of the required

gain/attenuation.

Step 1

Step 2

Step 3

Draw two horizontal lines from the Y-axis (Signal Level) in Figure 7. The upper line represents the

required ‘Must’ decode level. The lower line represents the required ‘Must-Not’ decode level

Mark the intersection of the upper horizontal line and the upper sloping line; drop a vertical line from

this point to the X-axis (Amplifier Gain (dB)). The point where the vertical line meets the X-axis

indicates the minimum Input Amp gain required for reliable decoding of valid signals

Mark the intersection of the lower horizontal line and the lower sloping line; drop a vertical line from

this point to the X-axis. The point where the vertical line meets the X-axis will indicate the maximum

allowable Input Amp gain. Input signals at or below the ‘Must-Not’ decode level will not be detected

as long as the amplifier gain is no higher than this level.

4.3.2.2 Input Gain Components

Refer to the gain components shown in Figure 2. The user should calculate and select external components

(R1/R3/C3, R2/R4/C4 and R5/R7/C5, R6/R8/C6) to provide amplifier gains within the limits obtained in Steps

2 and 3.

Component tolerances should not move the gain-figure outside these limits. The graph in Figure 7 is for the

calculation of input gain components for an MX641 using a VDD of 5.0 (±0.1) volts.

It is recommended that the designed gain is near the center of the calculated range.
