NSC DS8907

DS8907 AM/FM Digital
Phase-Locked Loop Frequency Synthesizer
General Description
The DS8907 is a PLL synthesizer designed specifically for
use in AM/FM radios. It contains the reference oscillator, a
phase comparator, a charge pump, a 120 MHz ECL/I2L
dual modulus programmable divider, and an 18-bit shift register/latch for serial data entry. The device is designed to
operate with a serial data controller generating the necessary division codes for each frequency, and logic state information for radio function inputs/outputs.
The Colpitts reference oscillator for the PLL operates at
4 MHz. A chain of dividers is used to generate a 500 kHz
clock signal for the external controller. Additional dividers
generate a 25 kHz reference signal for FM and a 10 kHz
reference signal for AM. One of these reference signals is
selected by the data from the controller for use by the
phase comparator.
Data is transferred between the frequency synthesizer and
the controller via a 3 wire bus system. This consists of a
data input line, an enable line, and a clock line. When the
enable line is low, data can be shifted from the controller
into the frequency synthesizer. When the enable line is transitioned from low to high, data entry is disabled and data
present in the shift register is latched.
From the controller 20-bit data stream, the first 2 bits address the device permitting other devices to share the same
bus. Of the remaining 18-bit data word, the next 13 bits are
used for the PLL divide code. The remaining 5 bits are connected via latches to output pins. These 5 bits can be used
to drive radio functions such as gain, mute, FM, AM and
stereo only. These outputs are open collector. Bit 16 is used
internally to select the AM or FM local oscillator input and to
select between the 10 kHz and 25 kHz reference. A high
level at bit 16 indicates FM and a low level indicates AM.
The PLL consists of a 13-bit programmable I2L divider, an
ECL phase comparator, an ECL dual modulus (p/p a 1) prescaler, and a high speed charge pump. The programma-

ble divider divides by (N a 1), N being the number loaded
into the shift register (bits 1 – 13 after address). It is clocked
by the AM input via an ECL d -/8 prescaler, or through a
d $*/64 prescaler from the FM input. The AM input will work
at frequencies up to 15 MHz, while the FM input works up to
120 MHz. The AM band is tuned with a frequency resolution
of 10 kHz and the FM band is tuned with a resolution of
25 kHz. The buffered AM and FM inputs are self biased and
can be driven directly by the VCO through a capacitor. The
ECL phase comparator produces very accurate resolution
of the phase difference between the input signal and the
reference oscillator. The high speed charge pump consists
of a switchable constant current source (b0.3 mA) and a
switchable constant current sink ( a 0.3 mA). If the VCO frequency is low, the charge pump will source current, and sink
current if the VCO frequency is high. When using an AFC
the charge pump output may be forced into TRI-STATEÉ by
applying a low level to the charge pump enable input.
A separate VCCM pin (typically drawing 1.5 mA) powers the
oscillator and reference chain to provide controller clocking
frequencies when the balance of the PLL is powered down.

SERIAL DATA ENTRY INTO THE DS8907
Serial information entry into the DS8907 is enabled by a low
level on the ENABLE input. One binary bit is then accepted
from the DATA input with each positive transition of the
CLOCK input. The CLOCK input must be low for the specified time preceding and following the negative transition of
the ENABLE input.
The first two bits accepted following the negative transition
of the ENABLE input are interpreted as address. If these
address bits are not 1,1 no further information will be accepted from the DATA inputs, and the internal data latches
will not be changed when ENABLE returns high.
If these first two bits are 1,1, then all succeeding bits are
accepted as data, and are shifted successively into the internal shift register as long as ENABLE remains low.
Any data bits preceding the 18th to last bit will be shifted
out, and thus are irrelevant. Data bits are counted as any
bits following two valid address bits (1,1) with the ENABLE
low. When the ENABLE input returns high, any further serial
data entry is inhibited. Upon this positive transition, the data
in the internal shift register is transferred into the internal
data latches. Note that until this time, the states of the internal data latches have remained unchanged.

Note: The actual divide code is N a 1, i.e., the number loaded plus 1.
