— The measurement period is the same as for HCTR.
• When SF in the serial input data is set to 0:
— Period measurement mode is selected.
— Input frequency range: 1 Hz to 20 kHz (VIH = 0.7 VDD minimum, VIL = 0.3·VDD

Control Data Format (serial input data)
No. 4758-7/16
LC7218, 7218M, 7218JM
The LC7218 control data consists of 36 bits. All 36 bits must be input after power is applied to set up the LC7218 initial
state. This is because the last two bits, while being unrelated to user functions, are data that switches the LSI test modes.
Once the LC7218 has been initialized, the contents of the first 24 bits (D0 to CTEN) can be changed without changing
the contents of the last 12 bits (R0 to T1) by inputting data to DI in serial data input mode.

Output port data
O0 to O6
• Data that determines the states of the output ports OUT0 to OUT6. O0 determines the
OUT0 pin output. However, note that when O0 is 0, OUT0 will output a high level, and when O0
is 1, OUT0 will output a low level. O1 to O6 function in the same manner.
• These can be used for a wide range of purposes, including, for example, band switching
signals.
• When the TB bit is set to 1, the O0 data is ignored and the OUT0 pin outputs an 8 Hz clock
time base signal.
• Since the output port states are undefined when power is first applied, transfer the control data
quickly.
TB
General-purpose counter
initial data
CTEN
• Data that determines the operation of the general-purpose counter. When CTEN is 0, the 20-bit
binary counter (the general-purpose counter) is reset and the HCTR and LCTR pins are pulled
down to ground. When CTEN is set to 1, the general-purpose counter reset state is cleared and
the counter operates according to the SC bit (the general-purpose selection data). In this state,
the general-purpose counter will count either the HCTR or LCTR input signal.
• Since the general-purpose counter is reset by setting CTEN to 0, the result of a count operation
must be sent to the controller while CTEN is still 1.

Serial Data I/O Methods
The LC7218 supports a total of three I/O modes: two control data input (serial data input) modes and one DO output
(serial data output) mode. Data I/O is performed after the mode has been determined.
The mode is selected by four data items (A0 to A3) synchronized with a clock (the CL pin) applied before the CE pin is
set high. The mode is determined when the CE pin goes high.

• This mode is invalid and does not support any data input or output operations.
1. In the serial data input modes (modes 1 and 2), t1 ≥ 1.5 µs, t2 ≥ 0 µs, t3 ≥ 1.5 µs, and t4 < 1.5 µs.
• Mode 1: A total of 40 bits, the four mode selection bits and the 36 control data bits (from D0 to T1), are input from
the DI pin in synchronization with the clock (CL) signal.
• Mode 2: A total of 28 bits, the four mode selection bits and 24 control data bits (from D0 to CTEN), are input from
the DI pin in synchronization with the clock (CL) signal.

2. In serial data output mode (mode 3), t1 ≥ 1.5 µs, t2 ≥ 0 µs, t3 ≥ 1.5 µs, and t5 < 1.5 µs. (However, note that since the
DO pin is an n-channel open drain output, the transition time depends on the value of the pull-up resistor.)
• Mode 3: Serial output mode (mode 3) is selected by the four bits of mode selection data.
When the CE pin goes high, IO is output from the DO pin. After that, the internal shift register is shifted
and the next bit is output from the DO pin on each falling edge of the CL signal.
(Thus 27 clock cycles are required to output all data through the UL0 bit after CE goes high.)
When this mode is selected, at the point the CE pin falls to the low level, the DO pin will be forcibly set to
the high level. The DO pin will go low if the IN0 pin input changes state or if a general-purpose counter
measurement completes.
(General-purpose counter completion takes precedence over changes in the IN0 pin signal.)

For example, if the divisor setting is 1000 the actual divisor will be 2000 and if the divisor setting is 1001 the
actual divisor will be 2002. In other words, the channel skip will be twice the reference frequency.
2. To set the channel skips of 1, 5 and 9 kHz using FMIN (A), the crystal oscillator should be changed to 3.6
MHz. However, the times listed in the table that follows change since they are referenced to the crystal
oscillator frequency.
Note that care must be taken to prevent overtone oscillation when a 3.6 MHz crystal oscillator is used.

The LC7218 general-purpose counter is a 20-bit binary counter.
The value of the counter can be read out, msb first, from the DO pin.
When the general-purpose counter is used for frequency measurement, GT selects the measurement period to be one of
two periods, 60 or 120 ms. The frequency of the signal input to the HCTR or LCTR pin can be measured by determining
the number of pulses input to the general-purpose counter during the measurement period.
When the general-purpose counter is used for period measurement, the period of the signal input to the LCTR pin can be
measured by determining the number of check signal (900 kHz) cycles input to the general-purpose counter during one
or two periods of the signal input to the LCTR pin.
The general-purpose counter is started by setting CTEN to 1 in the serial data. While the serial data is acquired internally
in the LC7218 at the point the CE signal goes from high to low, the input to the HCTR or LCTR pin must be provided
within 10 ms after CE goes low.
No. 4758-12/16
LC7218, 7218M, 7218JM
Next, the value of the general-purpose counter after the measurement completes must be read out while CTEN is still 1.
(The general-purpose counter is reset when CTEN is set to 0.)
Another point that requires care here is that before starting the general-purpose counter, it must be reset by setting
CTEN to 0.
Note that although signals input to the LCTR pin are transmitted directly to the general-purpose counter, signals input to
the HCTR pin are divided by eight internally before being transmitted to the general-purpose counter. Therefore the
value of the general-purpose counter will be 1/8 of the actual frequency input to the HCTR pin.
When counting intermediate frequency signals, always have the controller first check for the presence of the IF-IC SD
(station detect) signal and then only turn on the IF counter buffer output if the SD signal was present. Auto-search
techniques that only use an IF count are subject to stopping at frequencies where there is no station due to leakage output
from the IF counter buffer.
Note that although the DO pin is forced to the high level when the general-purpose counter is started (when CTEN is set
to 1), the DO pin automatically goes low when the measurement completes (after either 60 or 120 ms has elapsed or
when a signal has been applied for one or two periods). Therefore the DO pin can be used to check for measurement
completion.
1. When the general-purpose is not used (when CTEN is 0) the DO pin can be used to check for changes in external
signals.
• When mode 3 is specified and data is output through DO, DO will automatically go high after data output has
completed, i.e., when CE goes low.
• After that, DO goes low automatically when the IN0 signal changes state.
(That is, DO can be used to check for changes in an external signal input to IN0.)

LC7218, 7218M, 7218JM
2. When the general-purpose counter is used the DO pin can be used to check for completion of the general-purpose
counter measurement.
• When CTEN is set to 1, DO going low due to changes in IN0 is disabled and DO is set high automatically.
• DO is automatically set low when the general-purpose counter measurement completes.
(That is, DO can be used to check for measurement completion.)

Sample Application System
TV/FM/AM (When IF count is performed)
Note: 1. The coupling capacitors used on the FMIN, AMIN, HCTR, and LCTR pins should be between 50 and 100 pF.
However, a 1000 pF capacitor should be used for LCTR if frequencies under 100 kHz are to be used.
2. Coupling capacitors should be located as close to their pin as possible.
3. When counting intermediate frequency signals, always have the controller first check for the presence of the
IF-IC SD signal and then only turn on the IF counter buffer output if the SD signal was present.
