ATR4252
1. Description
The ATR4252 is a highly integrated high performance AM/FM antenna amplification
IC with several features. The device has built-in AGC's for both AM and FM, antenna
detection, a power supply regulator as well as additional pre-integrated peripherals.
Summary
Preliminary
The ATR4252 is based on BICMOS technology. The device is designed in particular
for car application and is suitable for active antennas located in several positions on
the car such as bumpers, windscreen, mirrors or windows.
