AC ELECTRICAL CHARACTERISTICS

+8kHz peak deviation. Audio output with C-message weighted filter and de-emphasis capacitor. Test circuit Figure 3. The parameters listed

below are tested using automatic test equipment to assure consistent electrical characterristics. The limits do not represent the ultimate

performance limits of the device. Use of an optimized RF layout will improve many of the listed parameters.
