• Excellent Overload Characteristics
• AGC for IF Amplifier
The CA3088E, a monolithic integrated circuit, is an AM sub-
system that provides the converter, IF amplifier, detector,
and audio preamplifier stages for an AM receiver.
• Buffered Output Signal for Tuning Meter
• Internal Zener Diode Provides Voltage Regulation
• Two IF Amplifier Stages
The CA3088E also provides internal AGC for the first IF
amplifier stage, delayed AGC for an optional external RF
amplifier, a buffer stage to drive a tuning meter, and termi-
nals facilitating the optional use of a tone control.
• Low-Noise Converter and First IF Amplifier
• Low Harmonic Distortion (THD)
Figure 2 is a functional diagram of the CA3088E. The signal
from the low-noise converter is applied to the first IF ampli-
fier and is then coupled to the second IF amplifier. This IF
signal is then detected and externally filtered. The resultant
audio signal is applied to an audio preamplifier. Optionally, a
tone control circuit may be connected at the junction of the
detector circuit and the audio preamplifier. The gain of the
first IF amplifier stage is controlled by an internal AGC cir-
cuit. The CA3088E supplies a delayed AGC signal output for
use with an external RF amplifier. A buffered output signal is
also available for driving a tuning meter. A DC voltage, inter-
nally regulated by a Zener diode, supplies the second IF
amplifier, the AGC and tuning meter circuits and may also be
used with any other stage.
• Delayed AGC for RF Amplifier
• Terminals for Optional Inclusion of Tone Control
• Operates from Wide Range of Power Supplies:
V+ = 6V to 16V
• Optional AC and/or DC Feedback on Wide-Band
Amplifier
• Array of Amplifiers for General-Purpose Applications
• Suitable for Use With Optional External RF Stage,
Either MOS or Bipolar
The CA3088E features four independent transistor amplifi-
ers, each incorporating internal biasing for temperature
tracking. These amplifiers are particularly useful in general-
purpose amplifier, oscillator, and detector applications in a
wide variety of equipment designs.
