Narrowband FM IF
The MC3371 and MC3372 perform single conversion FM reception and consist of an oscillator, mixer, limiting IF amplifier, quadrature discrimi-nator, active filter, squelch switch, and meter drive circuitry. These devices are designed for use in FM dual conversion communication equipment.
The MC3371/MC3372 are similar to the MC3361/MC3357 FM IFs, except that a signal strength indicator replaces the scan function controlling driver which is in the MC3361/MC3357. The MC3371 is designed for the use of parallel LC components, while the MC3372 is designed for use with either a 455 kHz ceramic discriminator, or parallel LC components.
These devices also require fewer external parts than earlier products.
The MC3371 and MC3372 are available in dual-in-line and surface mount packaging.

over the linear 60 dB range. This pin may be used many ways, such as:
AGe, meter drive and carrier triggered squelch circuit.
