AM Receiver IC
High Sensitivity
Very Low Power Consumption
Wide Supply Voltage Range
Power Down Control
Control for AGC On
High Selectivity by Crystal Filter
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.

PAD LAYOUT
DIE size = 1.79 x 1.79 mm; PAD size = 100 x 100 µm
Note: Because the substrate of the die is internally connected to VDD, the die has to be connected to VDD or
left floating. Please make sure that VDD is the first pad to be bonded. Pick-and-place and all component
assembly are recommended to be performed in ESD protected area.
Note: Coordinates are pad center points where origin has been located in the center of VDD pad

Notes:
1) OUT = VSS when carrier amplitude at maximum; OUT = VDD when carrier amplitude is reduced
(modulated)
- the output is a current source/sink with |IOUT| > 5 µA
- at power down the output is high impedance
2) AON = VSS means AGC off (hold current gain level); AON = VDD means AGC on (working)
- Internal pull-up with current < 1 µA which is switched off at power down
3) PDN = VSS means receiver on; PDN = VDD means receiver off

TYPICAL APPLICATION
Note 1: Crystal
The crystal as well as ferrite antenna frequencies are chosen according to the time signal system. Ferrite
antenna frequencies and recommended crystal frequencies are presented in table 1. For more details about
crystal selection see DAEV1016B.
Table 1 Time-Signal System Frequencies
Time-Signal System Location Frequency Recommended Crystal Frequency Unit
DCF77 Germany 77.5 77.503 kHz
MSF United Kingdom 60 60.003 kHz
WWVB USA 60 60.003 kHz
JJY Japan 40 and 60 40.003 and 60.003 kHz
Note 2: AGC Capacitor
The AGC capacitor value is also chosen according to time-signal system. Recommended capacitor values are
presented in table 2. WWVB and JJY systems require external control of AON (=AGC on) pin to receive pulses
correctly. For more details about required control of AON in WWVB and JJY systems see DAEV1016B.
The AGC and DEC capacitors should have low leakage currents due to very small 40 nA signal currents
through the capacitors. The insulation resistance of these capacitors should be higher than 70 M. Also probes
with at least 100 Mimpedance should be used for voltage probing of AGC and DEC pins.

capacitances disturbing the crystal filter performance. All other NC (Not Connected) pins are also
