[GreenKeys] XR2211 demodulator circuit boards?

[hwhall at compuserve.com]

I'd encountered some of those pages when I was googling but still no PCB artwork. If someone has already laid them out, I could skip reinventing it.

There's an evaluation board at
https://media.digikey.com/pdf/Data%20Sheets/MaxLinear%20PDFs/XR-2206-11-12_Man.pdf
. I'd be tempted to wire wrap it, though.

Several products I did using the XR2211 are at

The XR2211 is a fun chip. Before that, I used the NE565, but the XR2211
includes the data comparator, a carrier detect, etc. The XR2206 is also a
nice chip. It will generate a square wave, triangle wave, and sine waves.
It can do linear FM, AM (including double sideband suppressed carrier),
and FSK. The FSK circuit has a logic input that switches between two
timing resistors. But, during the transition, the frequency goes to zero
for a very short time. I'd probably use the linear FM circuit and drive it
with the data after running it through a low pass filter to limit
bandwidth. It IS a nice chip, though. I used it as an upconverter (local
oscillator and mixer) to upconvert subcarriers on FM broadcast stations to
455 kHz where the signal then went through ceramic filters, IF amplifier,
and a ceramic discriminator.

Fun stuff!
