Peak Input Required
Nominally +0.5V (+5V max) waveform, return to zero, into
50Ω Schmitt trigger.

FM 3 dB Bandwidth:
1
Internal and External ac; 20 Hz to 250 kHz.
External dc; dc to 250 kHz.
FM Distortion: (at 400 Hz and 1 kHz rates) See Figure
1-6. <1% for deviations up to 1/8 maximum
allowable. <3% for maximum allowable deviation.
External FM Sensitivity: 1 volt peak yields maximum
deviation indicated on PEAK DEVIATION switch
with FM vernier at full CW position.
External FM Sensitivity Accuracy: ±6% from 15 to
35°C for FM excluding maximum peak deviation
position. Maximum peak deviation position, ±9%
typically.
