NSC DS8615

DS8615/DS8616 130/225 MHz
Low Power Dual Modulus Prescalers
General Description
The DS8615 series products are low power dual modulus
prescalers which divide by 32/33 and 40/41 respectively.
The modulus control (MC) input selects division by N when
at a high TTL level and division by N a 1 when at a low TTL
level. The clock inputs are buffered, providing 40/100
mVrms input sensitivity. The two outputs provide the user
the option to wire either a totem-pole or open-collector output structure. Additionally, the user can wire a resistor between the two output pins to minimize edge transition emissions. The outputs are designed to drive positive edge triggered PLLs. These products can be operated from either an
unregulated 5.5V to 13.5V source or regulated 5V g 10%
source. Unregulated operation is obtained by connecting VS
to the source with VREG open. Regulated operation is obtained by connecting both VS and VREG to the supply
source.
The device can be used in phase-locked loop applications
such as FM radio or other communications bands to prescale the input frequency down to a more usable level. A
digital frequency display system can also be derived separately or in conjunction with a phase-locked loop, and it can
extend the useful range of many inexpensive frequency
counters to 225 MHz.

Note 4: tMODULUS e the period of time the modulus control level must be defined prior to the positive transition of the prescaler output to ensure proper modulus
selection.
Note 5: See Timing Diagrams.

The logical state of the modulus control input just prior to the output’s rising edge will determine the modulus ratio of the device
immediately following that rising edge. The pulse width difference of N and N a 1 operation occurs during the output e HI conditions.

Application Hints
the single ended mode, a capacitor of 0.001 mF (C2) should
be connected between the unused input and the ground
plane to provide a good high frequency bypass. The capacitor should be made larger for lower frequencies.
The input waveform may be sinusoidal, but below about
20 MHz the operation of the circuit becomes dependent on
the slew rate of the input rather than amplitude. A square
wave input with a slew rate of greater than 20 V/ms will
permit correct operation down to lower frequencies, provided the proper input coupling capacitor is provided.
For regulated mode operation connect VS to VREG to ensure proper operation (see Typical Application diagram).
OPERATING NOTES
The signal source is usually capacitively coupled to the input. At higher frequencies a 0.001 mF input capacitor (C1) is
usually sufficient, with larger values used at the lower frequencies. If the input signal is likely to be interrupted, it may
be desirable to connect a 100 kX resistor between one input and ground to stabilize the device. In the single-ended
mode, it is preferable to connect the resistor to the unused
input. In the differential mode, the resistor can be connected
to either input. The addition of the 100 kX pulldown resistor
causes a loss of input sensitivity, but prevents circuit oscillations under no signal (open circuit) conditions. In addition, in
