3 Description
The LMC567 device is a low-power, general-purpose
LMCMOS tone decoder which is functionally similar to the industry standard LM567. The device consists
of a twice frequency voltage-controlled oscillator
(VCO) and quadrature dividers which establish the
reference signals for phase and amplitude detectors.
The phase detector and VCO form a phase-locked
loop (PLL) which locks to an input signal frequency which is within the control range of the VCO. When
the PLL is locked and the input signal amplitude
exceeds an internally pre-set threshold, a switch to
ground is activated on the output pin. External
components set up the oscillator to run at twice the
input frequency and determine the phase and amplitude filter time constants.
