The U4255BM-M implements an AM up/down-conversion reception path from the RF
input signal to the AM-demodulated audio frequency output signal, and for FM reception
a double-conversion reception path from the RF input signal to the FM-demodulated
multiplex signal (MPX). A VCO and an LO prescaler for AM are integrated to generate
the LO frequency for the 1st mixer. Automatic gain control (AGC) circuits are implemented to control the preamplifier and IF stages in the AM and FM reception path.
For improved FM performance, an integrated IF filter with adjustable bandwidth, a softmute feature and an automatic multipath noise cancellation (MNC) circuit are fully
integrated. A powerful set of sensors is provided for receiving condition analysis and
stop signal generation.
Several register bits (Bit 0 to Bit 93) are used to control circuit operation and to adapt
certain circuit parameters to the specific application. The control bits are organized in
two 8-bit and three 24-bit registers that can be programmed by the 3-wire bus protocol.
The bus protocol and the bit-to-register mapping is described in the section ’3-wire Bus
Description’. The meaning of the control bits is mentioned in the following sections.
Reception Mode
The IC can be operated in four different modes. Mode AM, FM, WB, Standby are
selected by means of Bit 92 and Bit 93 according to Table 1.
In AM mode the AM mixer, the AM RF-AGC and the 1st IF AM amplifier at Pin 33 are
activated. The input of the 2nd IF amplifier is connected to Pin 28 and the output of the
2nd IF amplifier is fed to the AM demodulator. The output of the AM demodulator is
available at MPX output Pin 11.

4519C–AUDR–07/02
In FM mode the FM mixer, the FM RF-AGC and the 1st IF FM amplifier at Pin 38 are
activated. The bandwidth of the output tank at Pin 23, Pin 24 is increased and the input
of the 2nd IF amplifier can be switched between Pin 23, Pin 24 and Pin 28. The output of
the 2nd IF amplifier is fed to the integrated bandfilter and FM demodulator. The output of
the FM demodulator is available at MPX output Pin 11.
WB mode is similar to FM mode but the input of the 2nd IF amplifier is fixed to Pin 28, the
range of the bandwidth control of the integrated band filter is shifted to lower bandwidth
and the gain of the FM demodulator is increased.
In standby mode the mixers, IF amplifiers and AGC circuits are deactivated to reduce
current consumption.

A special test mode is implemented for final production test only. This mode is activated
by setting Bit 9 = 1. This mode is not intended to be used in customer application.
For normal operation, Bit 9 has to be set to 0. Bit 18 to Bit 30 are deactivated in normal
operation mode.

VCO
An oscillator circuit is implemented to build a VCO as proposed in the application schematic. The VCO frequency is used to generate the LO frequency of the 1st mixer stages.
The control voltage of the VCO is usually generated by the PLL circuit U4256BM. The
VCO signal is provided at the buffered output Pin 16 to be fed to the PLL circuit.
FM RF-AGC
The FM RF-AGC circuit includes a wideband level detector at the input Pin 1 of the FM
mixer and an in-band level detector at the output of the FM IF amplifier (Pin 30). The
outputs of these level detectors are used to control the current into the pin diode (see
Figure 3) in order to limit the signal level at the FM mixer input and the following stages.
The maximum pin diode current is determined by R115 and the time constant of the
AGC control loop can be adjusted by changing the value of C111.
The AGC threshold level at the input of the FM mixer can be adjusted by Bit 64 and
Bit 65 according to Table 3. The in-band AGC threshold referred to the FM mixer input
(Pin 1, Pin 2) depends on the gain of the FM IF amplifier and can be adjusted by Bit 89
to Bit 91.

The AM RF-AGC controls the current into the AM pin diodes (Pin 7) and the source
drain voltage of the MOSFET in the AM preamplifier stage (Pin 6) to limit the level at the
AM mixer input (Pin 3, Pin 41). This threshold level can be set by Bit 62 and Bit 63. If the
level at the AM mixer input exceeds the selected threshold, the current into the AM pin
diodes is increased. If this step is not sufficient, the source drain voltage of the MOSFET
is decreased. The time constant of the AGC control loop can be adjusted by changing
the value of the capacitor at Pin 8.

FM 1st Mixer
In the 1st FM mixer stage, the FM reception frequency is down converted to the 1st IF
frequency. The VCO frequency is used as LO frequency for the mixer.
AM 1st Mixer
The AM 1st mixer is used for up-conversion of the AM reception frequency to the 1st IF
frequency. Therefore, an AM prescaler is implemented to generate the necessary LO
frequency from the VCO frequency. The divide factor of the AM prescaler can be
selected according to Table 5.

A programmable gain amplifier is used in FM and WB mode between Pin 38 and Pin 30
to compensate the loss in the external ceramic band filters. The gain of this amplifier is
adjusted by Bit 89 to Bit 91. The input and the output resistance is 330 W and fits to
external ceramic filters.
Two different temperature coefficients of the FM IF amplifier can be selected by Bit 66.

AM 1st IF Amplifier
In AM mode, the gain of the 1st IF amplifier is controlled by the IF-AGC to extend the

2nd Mixer
The 2nd mixer is used in AM, FM and WB mode. The mixer input has 330 W input resistance and can be connected directly to an external ceramic filter.
In FM mode, the high output resistance of the second mixer is reduced to increase the
bandwidth of the tank at the mixer output. The output resistance can be selected by
Bit 60 and Bit 61.

2nd IF Amplifier
In AM and WB mode, the input of the second IF amplifier is Pin 28, which is externally
connected to the 2nd mixer tank through the AM ceramic filter to achieve channel selectivity. During normal FM operation (Bit 54 = 0), the input of the second IF amplifier is
connected to the 2nd mixer output (Pin 23, Pin 24) and the integrated FM band filter is
used for channel selectivity only. It is possible to use an additional external filter
between the 2nd mixer tank and Pin 28 in FM mode by setting Bit 54 to 1.

The IF-AGC controls the level of the 2nd IF signal that is passed to the AM demodulator
input or the integrated FM bandfilter and to the 2nd IF output Pin 20.
Two different time constants of the IF-AGC can be selected by the capacitors at Pin 35
(IFAGCH) and Pin 36 (IFAGCL). The short time constant (IFAGCL) is used in FM mode
and in AM search mode. The long time constant (IFAGCH) is used for AM reception.

In FM/WB mode, the output signal of the FM demodulator is applied to Pin 35 via a
series resistor of about 95 kW. This low-pass filtered output signal of the FM demodulator is used for the FM demodulator fine adjustment, for muting and as a reference for the
deviation sensor.
2nd IF Output
The 2nd IF after the gain-controlled 2nd IF amplifier is available at Pin20 (Bit 55 = 0). In
AM mode, this signal may be used for an external AM stereo decoder. Alternatively, a
signal corresponding to the logarithmic field strength after the integrated FM band filter,
which is used for multipath detection, can be switched to Pin 20 by setting Bit 55 = 1.

Automatic IF Center
Frequency Adjustment
Integrated active filters are used in the FM band filter, FM demodulator and adjacent
channel sensor. The center frequency of these filters is automatically adjusted to the
second IF frequency of 450 kHz. The frequency of 10.25 MHz at Pin 22 is used as a
reference for this alignment.

Integrated FM Band Filter For FM reception a band filter with variable bandwidth is integrated in front of the
demodulator to provide channel selectivity on the 2nd IF. The bandwidth of this filter can
be adjusted by Bit 0 to 3 (see Table 15) to be suitable for the present receiving condition. In WB mode, the bandwidth of the integrated filter is shifted to lower bandwidth
values, while the necessary channel selectivity is achieved by an external ceramic filter.
The center frequency of the integrated FM band filter can be adjusted by means of
Bit 14 to 17 (Bit 4 set to 1). The field strength after the integrated FM band filter that is
available at Pin 20 (Bit55 = 1) can be used for this purpose.

FM Demodulator
For weather band reception, the gain of the FM demodulator is increased and can be
adjusted by means of Bit 71, Bit 72 in order to increase the output voltage to compensate the low frequency deviation in weather band.
An integrated demodulator fine adjustment allows automatic fine tuning of the demodulator center frequency to the average frequency of the received signal. This feature is
implemented for use in weather band mode and can be activated by setting Bit 53 to 0.

The center frequency of the FM demodulator can be adjusted by means of Bit 56 to 59.
At the center frequency, the DC voltage at the MPX output Pin 11 is equal to the MPX
offset voltage that can be measured at Pin 11 while MPX mute is active (Bit 7 = 1). This
adjustment will affect the center frequency of all integrated filters as mentioned before.

Soft Mute
The soft mute functionality is implemented to reduce the output level of the FM demodulator at low input signal levels to limit the noise at MPX output in this case. If the input
level falls below an adjustable threshold, continuously the output of the FM demodulator
is continuously muted with decreasing input level until a maximum mute value is
reached. The threshold for the start of soft mute and the maximum mute can be
adjusted. The signal level for 3 dB mute can be set by means of Bit 68 to 70 and the
maximum value for soft mute can be selected by Bit 67. The steepness and the time
constant of the soft mute can be adjusted by the resistor and capacitor between Pin 34
and Pin 29.
The field strength signal available at Pin 9 is used for soft mute. Therefore, the soft mute
threshold referred to the input of the FM mixer depends on the gain from FM mixer input
to the field strength sensor.

MPX Output
The output of the AM demodulator (AM mode) or the output of the FM demodulator
(FM/WB mode) are available at the MPX output (Pin 11).
The MPX output signal can be muted by setting Bit 7 to 1.
The bandwidth of the lowpass filter at the MPX output can be set by means of Bit 79 to
90 kHz or 180 kHz.

Receiving Condition
Analyzer
The U4255BM-M implements several sensors that provide information about the receiving condition of the selected station.
Field Strength Sensor
The field strength sensor provides a DC voltage at Pin 9 which represents the logarithmic field strength of the signal in the reception band.
The field strength information can be retrieved either from a level detector at the input of
the 2nd mixer (Pin 26) or from the IF-AGC depending on the setting of Bit 80. The bandwidth of the field strength detection in the AGC is smaller than by using the level
detector because of additional selectivity between the 2nd mixer and the 2nd IF amplifier
particularly in AM and WB, but the field strength detection in the AGC is limited to the IF
AGC range. Usually the field strength from the level detector is used in FM mode and
the AGC field strength is used in AM mode.

A search stop detector is available in AM and FM/WB mode. A STOP condition is
signaled if the frequency of the ZF signal is within a window around the center frequency
of 450 kHz. The width of this search stop window can be set by Bit 85 to 87 in the range
of 0.5 kHz to 80 kHz. The frequency of the ZF signal is measured by counting the number of periods of the ZF signal during a measurement time which is determined by Bit 73
to 78. The inverted STOP signal is available at Pin 21 according to Table 25. The frequency of 10.25 MHz at Pin 22 is used as time reference.

The deviation sensor is active in AM and FM/WB mode and measures the modulation of
the signal. It is implemented as a peak detector of the lowpass-filtered MPX signal (see
Figure 7). The output voltage at Pin 31 is proportional to the frequency deviation in
FM/WB or the modulation depth in AM respectively.

Adjacent Channel
Sensor
The adjacent channel sensor is active in FM mode only and measures the field strength
outside the reception band. By setting the center frequency of the band filter of the adjacent channel sensor below or above the 2 nd IF frequency (Bit 5, Bit 6), it can be
determined whether the disturbance signal is located above or below the reception frequency (see Table 28). The bandwidth of the band filter used in the adjacent channel
sensor can be changed by means of Bit 10 to 13. If Bit 4 = 0 the default bandwidth setting is used. The output of the adjacent channel sensor is independent of the bandwidth
setting of the integrated FM band filter.

The multipath sensor is active in FM mode only and measures the disturbance due to
multipath reception. The multipath sensor detects drops in the field strength after the
integrated band filter by calculating the difference between an averaged maximum field
strength and the current field strength. The maximum depth of these drops is represented by the voltage of the peak detector at Pin 40 (MULTIP). The level of this voltage
represents the degree of disturbance in the received signal.

A Multipath Noise Canceller (MNC) is implemented to reduce disturbance of the
received signal in multipath reception conditions. If the difference between the momentary and the averaged field strength falls below a threshold adjustable by Bit 81 to 84
(see Table 30), the MPX signal may be muted and this situation (MPINT) can be signalized at Pin 21 (INT) according to Table 25. Muting of the MPX signal during multipath
disturbances can be activated be setting Bit 8.

3-wire Bus Description
The register settings of U4255BM-M are programmed by a 3-wire bus protocol. The bus
protocol consists of separate commands. A defined number of bits is transmitted
sequentially during each command.
One command is used to program all bits of one register. The different registers available (see Table 31) are addressed by the length of the command (number of transmitted
bits) and by three address bits that are unique for each register of a given length. 8-bit
registers are programmed by 8-bit commands and 24-bit registers are programmed by
24-bit commands.
Each bus command starts with a rising edge on the enable line (EN) and ends with a
falling edge on EN. EN has to be kept HIGH during the bus command.
The sequence of transmitted bits during one command starts with the LSB of the first
byte and ends with the MSB of the last byte of the register addressed. The DATA is
evaluated at the rising edges of CLK. The number of LOW to HIGH transitions on CLK
during the HIGH period of EN is used to determine the length of the command.
The bus protocol and the register addressing of U4255BM-M are compatible to the
addressing used in U4256BM. That means U4255BM-M and U4256BM can be operated
on the same 3-wire bus as shown in the application circuit.

Diagrams
The following data was measured with the application board (see Figure 20).
In the measurement setup, a 50-W generator is terminated by 50 W and connected to
the antenna input by a 50-W series resistor to achieve 75-W termination at the antenna
input. The generator level specified is the output voltage of this 50-W generator at 50 W
load. If the application board is replaced by a 75-W resistor, the voltage at this resistor is
6 dB below the specified voltage level of the 50 W generator.
