Xtal OSC
• Crystal resonator connection
(4.5/7.2 MHz)
Local oscillator
signal input
• FMIN is selected when the serial data input DVS bit is
set to 1.
• The input frequency range is from 10 to 160 MHz.
• The input signal passes through the internal divide-bytwo prescaler and is input to the swallow counter.
• The divisor can be in the range 272 to 65535. However,
since the signal has passed through the divide-by-two
prescaler, the actual divisor is twice the set value.
Local oscillator
signal input
• AMIN is selected when the serial data input DVS bit is
set to 0.
• When the serial data input SNS bit is set to 1:
— The input frequency range is 2 to 40 MHz.
— The signal is directly input to the swallow counter.
— The divisor can be in the range 272 to 65535, and
the divisor used will be the value set.
• When the serial data input SNS bit is set to 0:
— The input frequency range is 0.5 to 10 MHz.
— The signal is directly input to a 12-bit programmable
divider.
— The divisor can be in the range 4 to 4095, and the
divisor used will be the value set.

Functions
Ground
• The LC72131 ground
Output port
• Dedicated output pins
• The output states are determined by BO1 to BO4 bits in
the serial data.
Data: 0 = open, 1 = low
• A time base signal (8 Hz) can be output from the BO1
pin. (When the serial data TBC bit is set to 1.)
• Care is required when using the BO1 pin, since it has a
higher on impedance that the other output ports (pins
BO2 to BO4).
• All output ports are set to the open state following a
power on reset.
I/O port
• I/O dual-use pins
• The direction (input or output) is determined by bits IOC1
and IOC2 in the serial data.
Data: 0 = input port, 1 = output port
• When specified for use as input ports:
The state of the input pin is transmitted to the controller
over the DO pin.
Input state: low = 0 data value
high = 1 data value
• When specified for use as output ports:
The output states are determined by the IO1 and IO2
bits in the serial data.
Data: 0 = open, 1 = low
• These pins function as input pins following a power on
reset.
PD
18 (16)
Charge pump
output
• PLL charge pump output
When the frequency generated by dividing the local
oscillator frequency by N is higher than the reference
frequency, a high level is output from the PD pin.
Similarly, when that frequency is lower, a low level is
output. The PD pin goes to the high impedance state
when the frequencies match.

IF counter
• Accepts an input in the frequency range 0.4 to 12 MHz.
• The input signal is directly transmitted to the IF counter.
• The result is output starting the MSB of the IF counter
using the DO pin.
• Four measurement periods are supported: 4, 8, 32, and
64 ms.

(6)
➀ When end-UC is set and the IF counter is started (i.e., when CTE is changed
from zero to one), the DO pin automatically goes to the open state.
➁ When the IF counter measurement completes, the DO pin goes low to indicate
the measurement completion state.
➂ Depending on serial data I/O (CE: high) the DO pin goes to the open state.
2. Goes to the open state if the I/O pin is specified to be an output port.
Caution: The state of the DO pin during a data input period (an IN1 or IN2 mode period with CE
high) will be open, regardless of the state of the DO control data (DOC0 to DOC2).
Also, the DO pin during a data output period (an OUT mode period with CE high)
will output the contents of the internal DO serial data in synchronization with the
CL pin signal, regardless of the state of the DO control data (DOC0 to DOC2).

1. IF Counter Frequency Calculation Examples
• When the measurement period (GT) is 32 ms, the count (C) is 53980 hexadecimal (342400 decimal):
IF frequency (Fc) = 342400 ÷ 32 ms = 10.7 MHz
• When the measurement period (GT) is 8 ms, the count (C) is E10 hexadecimal (3600 decimal):
IF frequency (Fc) = 3600 ÷ 8 ms = 450 kHz

2. IF Counter Operation
Before starting the IF count, the IF counter must be reset in advance by setting CTE in the serial data to 0.
The IF count is started by changing the CTE bit in the serial data from 0 to 1. The serial data is latched by the
LC72131 when the CE pin is dropped from high to low. The IF signal must be supplied to the IFIN pin in the period
between the point the CE pin goes low and the end of the wait time at the latest. Next, the value of the IF counter at
the end of the measurement period must be read out during the period that CTE is 1. This is because the IF counter is
reset when CTE is set to 0.
Note: When operating the IF counter, the control microprocessor must first check the state of the IF-IC SD (station
detect) signal and only after determining that the SD signal is present turn on IF buffer output and execute an
IF count operation. Autosearch techniques that use only the IF counter are not recommended, since it is
possible for IF buffer leakage output to cause incorrect stops at points where there is no station.

Unlock Detection Timing
1. Unlock Detection Determination Timing
Unlocked state detection is performed in the reference frequency (fref) period (interval). Therefore, in principle,
unlock determination requires a time longer than the period of the reference frequency. However, immediately after
changing the divisor N (frequency) unlock detection must be performed after waiting at least two periods of the
reference frequency.
Figure 1 Unlocked State Detection Timing
For example, if fref is 1 kHz, i.e., the period is 1 ms, after changing the divisor N, the system must wait at least 2 ms
before checking for the unlocked state.

3. Unlocked State Data Output Using Serial Data Output
In the LC72131, once an unlocked state occurs, the unlocked state serial data (UL) will not be reset until a data input
(or output) operation is performed. At the data output ① point in Figure 3, although the VCO frequency has
stabilized (locked), since no data output has been performed since the divisor N was changed the unlocked state data
remains in the unlocked state. As a result, even though the frequency has stabilized (locked), the system remains
(from the standpoint of the data) in the unlocked state.
Therefore, the unlocked state data acquired at data output ①, which occurs immediately after the divisor N was
changed, should be treated as a dummy data output and ignored. The second data output (data output ②) and
following outputs are valid data.
Locked State Determination Flowchart
4. Directly Outputting Unlocked State Data from the DO Pin (Set by the DO pin control data)
Since the unlocked state (high = locked, low = unlocked) is output directly from the DO pin, the dummy data
processing described in section 3 above is not required. After changing the divisor N, the locking state can be
checked after waiting at least two reference frequency periods.

Clock Time Base Usage Notes
The pull-up resistor used on the clock time base output pin (BO1) should be at least 100 kΩ. This is to prevent degrading
the VCO C/N characteristics when a loop filter is formed using the built-in low-pass filter transistor. Since the clock time
base output pin and the low-pass filter have a common ground internal to the IC, it is necessary to minimize the time
base output pin current fluctuations and to suppress their influence on the low-pass filter. Also, to prevent chattering we
recommend using a Schmitt input at the controller (microprocessor) that receives this signal.

1. Notes on the Phase Comparator Dead Zone
Since correction pulses are output from the charge pump even if the PLL is locked when the charge pump is in the
ON/ON state, the loop can easily become unstable. This point requires special care when designing application
circuits.
The following problems may occur in the ON/ON state.
• Side band generation due to reference frequency leakage
• Side band generation due to both the correction pulse envelope and low frequency leakage
Schemes in which a dead zone is present (OFF/OFF) have good loop stability, but have the problem that acquiring a
high C/N ratio can be difficult. On the other hand, although it is easy to acquire a high C/N ratio with schemes in
which there is no dead zone, it is difficult to achieve high loop stability. Therefore, it can be effective to select DZA
or DZB, which have no dead zone, in applications which require an FM S/N ratio in excess of 90 to 100 dB, or in
which an increased AM stereo pilot margin is desired. On the other hand, we recommend selecting DZC or DZD,
which provide a dead zone, for applications which do not require such a high FM signal-to-noise ratio and in which
either AM stereo is not used or an adequate AM stereo pilot margin can be achieved.

Dead Zone
The phase comparator compares fp to a reference frequency (fr) as shown in Figure 4. Although the characteristics of
this circuit (see Figure 5) are such that the output voltage is proportional to the phase difference ø (line A), a region
(the dead zone) in which it is not possible to compare small phase differences occurs in actual ICs due to internal
circuit delays and other factors (line B). A dead zone as small as possible is desirable for products that must provide
a high S/N ratio.
However, since a larger dead zone makes this circuit easier to use, a larger dead zone is appropriate for popularlypriced products. This is because it is possible for RF signals to leak from the mixer to the VCO and modulate the
VCO in popularly-priced products in the presence of strong RF inputs. When the dead zone is narrow, the circuit
outputs correction pulses and this output can further modulate the VCO and generate beat frequencies with the RF
signal.

2. Notes on the FMIN, AMIN, and IFIN Pins
Coupling capacitors must be placed as close as possible to their respective pin. A capacitance of about 100 pF is
desirable. In particular, if a capacitance of 1000 pF or over is used for the IF pin, the time to reach the bias level will
increase and incorrect counting may occur due to the relationship with the wait time.
3. Notes on IF Counting → SD must be used in conjunction with the IF counting time
When using IF counting, always implement IF counting by having the microprocessor determine the presence of the
IF-IC SD (station detect) signal and turn on the IF counter buffer only if the SD signal is present. Schemes in which
auto-searches are performed with only IF counting are not recommended, since they can stop at points where there is
no signal due to leakage output from the IF counter buffer.
4. DO Pin Usage Techniques
In addition to data output mode times, the DO pin can also be used to check for IF counter count completion and for
unlock detection output. Also, an input pin state can be output unchanged through the DO pin and input to the
controller.
5. Power Supply Pins
A capacitor of at least 2000 pF must be inserted between the power supply VDD and VSS pins for noise exclusion.
This capacitor must be placed as close as possible to the VDD and VSS pins.
