GENERAL DESCRIPTION

The device is a single chip PLL frequency synthesizer

designed for TV and VCR tuning systems. The circuit

consists of a divide-by-eight prescaler with its own

preamplifier, a 15-bit programmable divider, a crystal

oscillator and its programmable reference divider, a

phase/frequency detector combined with a charge-pump

which drives the tuning amplifier, including 33 V output.

Three NPN open-collector outputs are provided for band

switching together with five open-collector NPN outputs.

Four of these ports can also be used as input ports

(one ADC and three general purpose I/O ports).

An output is provided to control a Philips mixer/oscillator IC

controlled by bits P7, P5 and P4. Depending on the

reference divider ratio (512, 640 or 1024), the phase

comparator operates at 3.90625, 6.25 or 7.8125 kHz with

a 4 MHz crystal.

The lock detector bit FL is set to logic 1 when the loop is

locked and is read on the SDA line (status byte) during a

read operation. The ADC is available for digital AFC

control. The ADC code is read during a read operation on

In the test mode, this port is also used as a test output for

a DC/DC converter driver connected to the IDC pin to

control the amplitude of an external oscillator followed by

a voltage rectifier.

The voltage rectifier is used to generate the correct tuning

supply voltage to maintain a constant current into the

tuning amplifier. The DC/DC converter driver can be

tuning supply voltage is delivered by a fixed 33 V supply.

Five serial bytes (including address byte) are required to

address the device, select the VCO frequency, program

the ports, set the charge-pump current and set the

reference divider ratio. The device has four independent

specific voltage on the AS input (see Table 3).

APPLICATIONS

• Multimedia TV tuners and front-ends

• VCR tuners.
