FM demodulator capable of providing demodulated data with high determination accuracy

Abstract

An FM demodulator for reproducing data by performing FM demodulation of a received RF signal in a Bluetooth transmission system is provided. The FM demodulator includes a frequency discrimination unit and a level determination unit. The FM demodulator frequency-discriminates the RF signal, performs digital conversion of the discriminated RF signal, and outputs converted data. The level determination unit performs level comparison of current input-data, supplied from the frequency discrimination unit in the latest clock period, with last input-data, supplied from the frequency discrimination unit in the immediately preceding clock period, determines a logic state of the current input-data based on the result of the level comparison, and reproduces data in accordance with the determined logic state.
