Although designed for 1GHz, the SA601 and SA620 can also be used in the 433MHz ISM band. The SA601 performs amplification of the antenna signal and down conversion to a first IF. The SA620 has the same functionality, but also has a VCO on-chip. This VCO drives the mixer, so no external LO signal is required. Applying the SA601 or SA620 means that a receiver with high sensitivity and wide dynamic range can be built without a lot of external components. The design will be easier compared with discrete Front Ends.
