Detailed Description I2C-Compatible Serial Interface The MAX3544 uses a 2-wire I2C-compatible serial interface consisting of a serial data line (SDA) and a serial clock line (SCL). SDA and SCL facilitate bidirectional communication between the MAX3544 and the master at clock frequencies up to 400kHz. The master initiates a data transfer on the bus and generates the SCL signal to permit data transfer. The MAX3544 behaves as a slave device that transfers and receives data to and from the master. Pull SDA and SCL high with external pullup resistors for proper bus operation. One bit is transferred during each SCL clock cycle. A minimum of nine clock cycles is required to transfer a byte in or out of the MAX3544 (8 data bits and an ACK/ NACK). The data on SDA must remain stable during the high period of the SCL clock pulse. Changes in SDA while SCL is high and stable are considered control signals (see the START and STOP Conditions section). Both SDA and SCL remain high when the bus is not busy. START and STOP Conditions The master initiates a transmission with a START condition (S), which is a high-to-low transition on SDA while SCL is high. The master terminates a transmission with a STOP condition (P), which is a low-to-high transition on SDA while SCL is high. Acknowledge and Not-Acknowledge Conditions Data transfers are framed with an acknowledge bit (ACK) or a not-acknowledge bit (NACK). Both the master and the MAX3544 (slave) generate acknowledge bits. To generate an acknowledge, the receiving device must pull SDA low before the rising edge of the acknowledgerelated clock pulse (ninth pulse) and keep it low during the high period of the clock pulse. To generate a not-acknowledge condition, the receiver allows SDA to be pulled high before the rising edge of the acknowledge-related clock pulse, and leaves SDA high during the high period of the clock pulse. Monitoring the acknowledge bits allows for detection of unsuccessful data transfers. An unsuccessful data transfer happens if a receiving device is busy or if a system fault has occurred. In the event of an unsuccessful data transfer, the bus master must reattempt communication at a later time. Slave Address The MAX3544 has a 7-bit slave address plus one R/W bit. These 8 bits must be sent to the device following a START condition to initiate communication. The slave address is determined by the state of the ADDR pin as shown in Table 2. Table 2.

Figure 1. MAX3544 Slave Address Byte. Example shows read address 0x0C1 (ADDR pin grounded). The MAX3544 continuously awaits a START condition followed by its slave address. When the device recognizes its slave address, it acknowledges by pulling the SDA line low for one clock period; it is ready to accept or send data depending on the R/W bit (Figure 1). Write Cycle When addressed with a write command, the MAX3544 allows the master to write to a single register or to multiple successive registers. A write cycle begins with the bus master issuing a START condition followed by the 7 slave address bits and a write bit (R/W = 0). The MAX3544 issues an ACK if the slave address byte is successfully received. The bus master must then send to the slave the address of the first register it wishes to write to. If the slave acknowledges the address, the master can then write 1 byte to the register at the specified address. Data is written beginning with the most significant bit. The MAX3544 again issues an ACK if the data is successfully written to the register. The master can continue to write data to the successive internal registers with the MAX3544 acknowledging each successful transfer, or it can terminate transmission by issuing a STOP condition. The write cycle does not terminate until the master issues a STOP condition. START WRITE DEVICE ADDRESS 11000[ADDR2][ADDR1] R/W ACK 0 — WRITE REGISTER ADDRESS 0x00 ACK — Figure 2 illustrates an example in which registers 0, 1, and 2 are written with 0x0E, 0xD8, and 0xE1, respectively. Read Cycle A read cycle begins with the bus master issuing a START condition followed by the 7 slave address bits and a write bit (R/W = 0). The MAX3544 issues an ACK if the slave address byte is successfully received. The master then sends the 8-bit address of the first register that it wishes to read. The MAX3544 then issues another ACK. Next, the master must issue a START condition followed by the 7 slave address bits and a read bit (R/W = 1). The MAX3544 issues an ACK if it successfully recognizes its address and begins sending data from the specified register address starting with the most significant bit (MSB). Data is clocked out of the MAX3544 on the rising edge of SCL. On the ninth rising edge of SCL, the master can issue an ACK and continue reading successive registers or it can issue a NACK followed by a STOP condition to terminate transmission. The read cycle does not terminate until the master issues a STOP condition. Figure 3 illustrates an example in which registers 0 and 1 are read back. WRITE DATA TO REGISTER 0x00 0x0E ACK — WRITE DATA TO REGISTER 0x01 0xD8 ACK — WRITE DATA TO REGISTER 0x02 0xE1 ACK STOP — Figure 2.

The programmable registers configure the VCO settings, PLL settings, detector and AGC settings, state control, bias adjustments, individual block shutdown, and the tracking filter frequency. These programmable registers are also readable. The read-only registers include two status registers and a ROM table data register. Typical bit settings are provided only for user convenience and are not guaranteed at power-up. All registers must be written no earlier than 100Fs after power-up or recovery from a brownout event (i.e., when VCC drops below 1V) to initialize the registers. Then follow up by rewriting the registers needed for channel/frequency programming (i.e., registers R00–R04). The typical values listed in Table 3 configure the MAX3544 for DVB-T reception with 16MHz crystal, 8MHz channel BW, 36.15MHz IF center frequency, differential LC bandpass filter, and 666MHz RF center frequency.

Applications Information RF Inputs and Filters The MAX3544 features separate low- and high-frequency inputs. These two inputs are combined to a single input by an off-chip diplexer circuit as shown in the Typical Application Circuit. When the desired channel is less than 345MHz, use RFINL. When the desired input is greater than 345MHz, use RFINH. Further, when the desired input is less than 110MHz, an internal lowpass filter should be enabled to limit high-frequency interference incident at the mixer input. The lowpass filter is enabled by the RFLPF bit in R05[5]. Besides selecting the appropriate input port and setting RFLPF appropriately, one of three tracking filters must be chosen based on the desired frequency. Set TFB (R05[3:2]) to select VHFL, VHFH, or UHF tracking filter bands. Use VHFL when the desired frequency is less than 196MHz, use VHFH when the desired frequency is between 196MHz and 440MHz, or use UHF when the desired frequency is greater than 440MHz. RF Gain Control The MAX3544 is designed to control its own RF gain based on internally measured signal and blocker levels. The user can adjust the AGC attack points (takeover points) by setting WDPA and NDPA in register R0B. Alternatively, the user can control the RF gain by driving the RFVGC input pin. ______________________________________________________________________________________ 17 MAX3544 Table 23.

These VCOs and sub-bands are selected to best center the VCO near the operating frequency. This selection process is performed automatically by the VAS circuitry. The Maxim driver software seeds the VCO starting band for fastest selection time. In addition to VCO selection, a VCO divider value of 32, 16, 8, or 4 must be selected to provide the desired mixer LO drive frequency. The divider is selected by VDIV in register R00[1:0]. Reading the ROM Table The MAX3544 includes 13 ROM registers to store factory calibration data (see Table 26). Each ROM table entry must be read using a two-step process. First, the address of the ROM bits to be read must be programmed into the ROM ADDR register (R0E[3:0]). Once the address has been programmed, the data stored in that address is automatically transferred to the ROM READBACK register (R10[7:0]). The ROM data at the specified address can then be read from the ROM READBACK register and stored in the microprocessor’s local memory. After all ROM registers have been read and stored in the microprocessor’s local memory, ROM ADDR must be programmed to 00 for proper operation. Setting RF Tracking Filter Codes The MAX3544 includes a programmable tracking filter for each band of operation to optimize rejection of outof-band interference while minimizing insertion loss for the desired received signal. The center frequency of each tracking filter is selected by a switched-capacitor array that is programmed by the TFS[7:0] bits in the R06 register and the TFP[5:0] bits in the R07 register. Optimal tracking filter settings for each channel vary from part to part due to process variations. To accommodate part-to-part variations, each part is factory calibrated by Maxim. During calibration the correction factors for the series and parallel tracking capacitor arrays are calculated and written into an internal ROM table. The user must read the ROM table upon power-up and store the data in local memory (8 bytes total) to calculate the optimal TFS and TFP settings for each channel. The equation for setting TFS and TFP at each channel is available in the device driver code provided by Maxim. Table 26 shows the address and bits for each ROM table entry. 18 ������������������������������������������������������������������������������������� Multiband Digital Television Tuner In addition to the aforementioned requirements, follow general good RF layout practices. Keep RF signal lines as short as possible to minimize losses and radiation. Use controlled impedance on all high-frequency traces. The exposed paddle must be soldered evenly to the board’s ground plane for proper operation. Use abundant vias beneath the exposed paddle and maximize the area of continuous ground plane around the paddle on the bottom layer for maximum heat dissipation. Use abundant ground vias between RF traces to minimize undesired coupling. To minimize coupling between different sections of the IC, the ideal power-supply layout is a star configuration, which has a large decoupling capacitor at the central VCC node. The VCC traces branch out from this node, with each trace going to separate VCC pins of the MAX3544. Each VCC pin must have a bypass capacitor with a low impedance to ground at the frequency of interest. Do not share ground vias among multiple connections to the PCB ground plane.

Because the tracking filters operate at frequencies up to 862MHz, they are sensitive to the inductor and PCB trace parasitics. To achieve the optimal RF performance (gain, noise figure, and image rejection), the MAX3544 is production tested and trimmed with the exact inductors, their relative location and orientation, and the trace parasitics present on the MAX3544 Reference Design. To avoid performance degradation, PCB designs should exactly copy the RF section of the Reference Design layout and use the inductors specified in the Reference Design bill of materials. Contact Maxim to obtain the Reference Design layout to use as a starting point for PCB designs.
