CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
General
The MC13173 infrared transceiver integrates a split IF
wideband FM receiver and an IR LED transmitter into a single
IC. The transmitter is comprised of an FSK modulator,
harmonic low pass filter, and IR LED driver. The receiver
consists of a mixer, IF amplifier and limiting IF, detector, and
data slicer. It includes RSSI and carrier detect functions.
The transmitter is capable of two modes of operation. It
was primarily designed for use in the Communications Mode,
which enables point–to–point data links, such as the
communication from keyboard to computer, or for the
exchange of data between portable computers. In this mode
it is capable of 200 kbps half duplex FSK operation.
The transmitter can also operate in an “A/V” Mode, which
pulses the LED on and off with no carrier. (See Figure 11).
Digital Interface Bus
The MC13173 is controlled via a six line 3.3 V digital
interface bus. That includes three control pins, data in and
out pins, and a carrier detect pin. Listed below is a brief
description of each pin and its function.

MC13173
Master VCO/PLL
The master VCO provides the reference frequency for the
FSK modulator and the LO frequency for the receiver
downconverter. With a 32.768 kHz input frequency to the
master VCO on Pin 1, the LO frequency for the receiver will
be at 12.075 MHz. The reference frequency for the FSK
modulator will be at approximately 1.1 MHz. The master VCO
and FSK modulator are not used when the transmitter is used
in A/V mode, and both are powered down.
Receiver Description
The single conversion receiver portion of the MC13173 is
low power and wideband, and incorporates a split IF. This
section includes a mixer, IF amplifier, limiting IF, quadrature
detector and data slicer.
Mixer
The mixer is a double balanced four quadrant multiplier. It
can be driven either differentially or single–ended by
connecting the unused input to the positive supply rail.
The buffered output is internally loaded for an output
impedance of 330 Ω for use with a standard ceramic filter.
IF Amplifier
The first IF amplifier section is composed of three
differential stages with the second and third stages
contributing to the RSSI. This section has internal DC
feedback and external input decoupling for improved
symmetry and stability. The total gain of the IF amplifier block
is approximately 40 dB. The fixed internal input impedance is
330 Ω for use with a 10.7 MHz ceramic filter. The output of the
IF amplifier is buffered and the impedance is 330 Ω.
Limiter
The limiter section is similar to the IF amplifier section,
except that four stages are used with the last three
contributing to the RSSI. This IF limiting amplifier section
drives the quadrature detector internally.
RSSI/Carrier Detect
The received signal strength indicator (RSSI) outputs a
current proportional to the log of the received signal
amplitude. The RSSI current output is derived by summing
the currents from the IF and limiting amplifier stages. An
external resistor sets the output voltage range.
The carrier detect threshold is set at approximately
1.2 Vdc. When the RSSI level exceeds that threshold, the
MOTOROLA ANALOG IC DEVICE DATA
carrier detect output will go high. A large resistor may be
added externally between the comparator output and the
positive input for hysteresis.
Quadrature Detector
The demodulator is a conventional quadrature type with
an external LC tank driven through an internal 5 pF capacitor.
The output is buffered to give an output impedance of less
than 1.0 kΩ at an average DC level of around 1.1 V.
Data Slicer
The data slicer is designed to square up the data signal. It
is self centering at about 1.1 V, and clips at about 0.75 V and
1.45 V. There is a short time constant for large peak–to–peak
voltage swings or when there is a change in DC level at the
detector output. The time constant is longer for small signals
or for continuous bits of the same polarity which drift close to
the threshold voltage.
Transmission Description
The MC13173 uses a dual modulus PLL to frequency shift
key (FSK) modulate the baseband digital input signal,
producing the necessary logic high and low frequencies for
transmission. The transmit frequency for a logic high is
1.427 MHz, and the frequency for a low is 1.317 MHz with a
32.768 kHz reference frequency.
FSK Modulator
In the communications mode, the FSK modulator uses the
reference frequency from the Master VCO to produce the two
frequencies required for a logic high and a logic low. In the
A/V mode, the FSK modulator is not used and is powered
down.
LED Driver Stage
A low pass filter following the FSK modulator removes the
undesired harmonic frequencies from the square–wave
output of the divider circuits in PLLs. The resulting sinusoidal
waveforms are fed into a unity gain difference amplifier,
which drives the base of an external transistor, modulating
the IR LED.
In A/V mode, the data is input directly into the inverting
input of the op amp, and the low pass filter is not used.

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
The MC13173 transceiver is specially designed to operate
from a 32.768 kHz reference which is readily available in
most computer applications. The frequency synthesizer on
chip generates a receiver local oscillator frequency and the
transmit mark and space frequencies from this fixed
reference frequency, eliminating the need for additional
crystals or manual tuning.
Large divide ratios are needed to generate these
frequencies, however. For example, the receiver LO
frequency is 368.5 times the 32.768 kHz reference
frequency. This requires that the reference frequency be both
accurate and stable. A two percent error in the reference
frequency would pull the LO off frequency by over 240 kHz,
putting the IF frequency out of the usable bandwidth of the
filters and discriminator. For this reason, a 32.768 kHz
oscillator circuit has been included on the demonstration
board design. Although TTL crystal oscillators are available,
this oscillator circuit uses an inexpensive tuning fork crystal
and a hex inverter to generate a square wave reference
frequency, which is then filtered and level adjusted to a
1.0 Vp–p triangle wave to drive pin 32. A TTL Clock Oscillator
could also be used with the filter circuit as shown.
Frequency Synthesizer
The recommended op amp for the external loop filter is the
MC33202. For low voltage operation, (VCC ≤ 3.3 V) an op
amp that is rail–to–rail on both the input and output is
advisable to obtain the widest possible output voltage range
without distortion. Sufficient distortion from the op amp such
as phase reversal on the output caused by overdriving the
inputs could prevent the loop from locking to the reference.
In debugging the loop filter, it is important to note that the
FSK Modulator phase locked loop will not lock until the
Master VCO is locked to the reference. If the application
circuit in Figure 15 is used, both loops should lock without the
need for any additional tweaking. Since the VCO has
± 2.0 MHz of range using the MV209 varactor diode (see
Figure 11), neither precision components nor tuning should
be required. To ensure both loops are operating properly, first
evaluate each VCO with the loop open and a voltage equal to
VCC/2 applied to the resistor in series with the varactor. Since
there is a relatively small capacitance (<40 pF) in series with
the LC tank circuit, the VCO pin is sensitive to any parasitic
capacitance. Thus when using a standard oscilloscope probe
having 10 to 20 pF capacitance it is difficult to measure the
VCO frequency without shifting its frequency. A low
capacitance FET probe used with a frequency counter will
enable you to accurately measure the VCO frequency
without altering it in the process.
The free running frequency of the VCO should be
approximately on frequency when the loop is open and the
varactor is biased at mid–supply. The VCO for the Master
PLL should run at 12.05 MHz. The free running frequency of
the FSK Modulator should be at 13.72 MHz, midway between
the two VCO frequencies needed to generate the transmit
mark and space frequencies. The FSK Modulator loop is only
active when the transmitter is enabled and the device is in the
communications mode (see Tables 1 & 2). If either the “T”
pin is low or the “E” pin is high, the VCO will be off and
you will see no oscillation on Pin 29.
Once the loops are closed, the VCO frequencies should
track the reference frequency within the hold–in range of the
MOTOROLA ANALOG IC DEVICE DATA
loop. Although the FSK Modulator loop is dependent on the
Master VCO, the Master VCO is completely independent of
the FSK Modulator. In fact, the FSK Modulator can be
powered down (see Table 2) without affecting the Master
VCO operation. In the application circuit in Figure 15 a single
reference voltage for both op amps in the loop filters is
provided by two diodes to VCC. If the Master VCO is affected
by the FSK Modulator loop, this generally indicates a problem
with the common reference voltage to the op amp, and may
mean the diodes are in backwards.
Once the loops are closed you should see a phase
detector output such as is shown in the Pin Function
Description in Table 3. If the VCO was on frequency when the
loop was open, the phase detector outputs should swing
around mid supply and not hit against either the positive or
negative rail. Latching to VCC or VEE may indicate the loop
filter circuitry is not implemented correctly.
Due to the digital design of the phase detectors, the
transmitter can only transition between mark and space
frequencies on a clock edge. On the receive side this may be
seen as a double image on the detector output, with a
discrete time delay which does not vary with the frequency of
the data input (see Figure 10). This is a normal consequence
of using a digital phase detector and should not be confused
with jitter from the data slicer.

Transmitter
The light emitting diode (LED) driver in the transmitter is
capable of 6.0 to 10 mA of pull–up current. Selection of the
external transistor and biasing resistor will depend on the
LEDs used. Typical infrared LEDs require 50 to 100 mA of
current and have a forward voltage of 1.5V. Sufficient current
is needed to obtain the maximum power output without
distorting the output by overdriving the LED. Key
specifications include rise and fall time, wavelength, beam
width (generally given in half–angle), maximum power output
and efficiency. Choice of wavelengths is generally
determined by cost and power efficiency, which may vary
between vendors. The LEDs used in this application are at
880 nm and were chosen for best efficiency. However LEDs
in general are very inefficient, converting only 1 or 2 percent
of the electrical power into optical power. Multiple LEDs can
be used to increase transceiver range.
13
MC13173
Disabling the transmitter via the data bus turns off the
output of the LED driver, removing the base current from the
external transistor and thereby turning off the IR LED.
Because of the high current drawn by the LED, this offers
considerable power savings when the transmitter is not in
use and can be easily controlled by a microcontroller with no
additional circuitry.
In the “A/V” transmit mode, the data output is on/off keyed,
with the LED on for a data high, and off for a data low. It is a
baseband signal, with no carrier present (see Figure 11).
harmonics. In the application circuit in Figure 15, Toko filters
with a bandwidth of 330 kHz or 360 kHz are recommended to
accommodate higher data rates. If the IF filters are too
narrow, the recovered signal may have noise on the peaks
(see Figure 12).

Receiver
The receiver portion of the MC13173 is similar to the
design of Motorola’s MC13156 Wideband FM Receiver.
Instead of using the mixer to downconvert from a higher RF
frequency, this application is designed to upconvert the
1.372 MHz input to a 10.7 MHz IF. The wide deviation,
relative to the RF input frequency, requires a low Q tuned
circuit to recover this bandwidth:
Q
[ BWfc
3 dB
, where f c
+ 1.372 MHz
By Carson’s Rule, the BW = 2(fdev + fmod). Since for
mark/space frequencies of 1.317 MHz and 1.427 MHz the
deviation is fixed at ±50 kHz, the bandwidth for a 50 kHz
square wave (100 kbps) would be 200 kHz, and the tuned
input requires a Q of less than 7. The low Q of the tank circuit
reduces both the selectivity and the sensitivity of the receiver.
For a Q of 7, the resistor required across the 56 µH inductor
can be calculated:
R = QXL = (7) • (2π) • (1.372 E6) • (56 E–6)
R = 3.3 kΩ
The RSSI has over 70 dB of dynamic range and 20 µA of
current range. The RSSI output provides the input to the
carrier detect comparator (see Figure 13) and a logarithmic
output proportional to the input signal level. It can, therefore,
be used to recover amplitude shift keyed (ASK) data.
The key specifications for the infrared detectors are
response time, sensitivity, acceptance angle, and
wavelength. Some vendors offer detectors in a black
package with a built–in daylight filter. Although the
transparent packages offer better sensitivity, the detectors
with the daylight filter offer a much better signal to noise ratio.
Response time (or maximum frequency) of the system is
generally limited by the capability of the emitters rather than
the detectors. For this application, a rise and fall time of
500 ns is sufficient.
Design and Layout Considerations
Although the frequencies in this design are low by RF
standards, careful layout and good decoupling are still good
practice. The high gain limiter and IF blocks should be
decoupled as shown in the application circuit as near the IC
as possible for best receiver performance. Also the TTL
levels from the reference oscillator and the wide current
swing applied to the IR LEDs can easily be picked up on VCC,
creating problems for the sensitive phase detector circuits
and receiver RF inputs. Avoid long parallel traces and use
plenty of decoupling to keep the supply rail clean.
The 10.7 MHz ceramic filters also need to be wide enough
to pass the full frequency range which will include some
