The IF counter operation is started setting CTE in the serial data from 0 to 1. Although the serial data is latched by dropping the CE pin from high to low, the IF signal input to the IFIN pin must be provided within the wait time from the point CE goes low. Next, the readout of the IF counter after measurement is complete must be performed while CTE is still 1, since the counter will be reset if CTE is set to 0. Note: If IF counting is used, applications must determine whether or not the IF IC SD (station detect) signal is present in the microcontroller software, and perform the IF count only if that signal is asserted. This is because autosearch techniques that use IF counting only are subject to incorrect stopping at points where there is no station due to IF buffer leakage. Note that the LC72121MA input sensitivity can be controlled with the IFS bit in the serial data. Reduced sensitivity mode (IFS = 0) must be selected when this IC is used in conjunction with an IF IC that does not provide an SD output and auto-search is implemented using only IF counting.

No.A2009-17/24 LC72121MA Unlocked State Detection 1. Unlocked state detection timing Unlocked state detection is performed during the reference frequency (fref) period (interval). This means that a period at least as long as the period of the reference frequency is required to recognize the locked/unlocked state. However, applications must wait at least twice the period of the reference frequency immediately after changing the divisor (N) before checking the locked/unlocked state. CE Data latch Old data New data VCO/N Ncounter Old divisor N New divisor N ▼ fref φError (Unlock) Do not change the divisor N in the first period. * After changing the value of the divisor, the φ error signal will be output following the second period of the fref signal.

Outputting the unlocked state data in the serial data At the point of data output 1 in figure 3, the unlocked state data will indicate the unlocked state, since the VCO frequency is not stable (locked) yet. In cases such as this, the application should wait at least one whole period and then check again whether or not the frequency has stabilized with the data output 2 operation in the figure. Applications can implement even more reliable recognition of the locked state by performing several more checks of the state and requiring that the locked state be detected sequentially. <Flowchart for Lock Detection> Divisor N changed (data input) Wait at least 2 reference frequency periods. Data output (1) Valid output data is acquired by using an interval of at least one reference frequency period. Data output (2) Locked state check * YES NO *: Even more reliable recognition of the locked state can be achieved by performing several checks of the state and requiring that the locked state be detected sequentially. 4. Directly outputting the unlocked state to the DO pin Since the unlocked state (high level when locked, low when unlocked) is output from the DO pin, applications can check for the locked state by waiting at least two reference frequency periods after changing the divisor N. However, in this case also, even more reliable recognition of the locked state can be achieved by performing several checks of the state and requiring that the locked state be detected sequentially. No.A2009-19/24 LC72121MA Clock Time Base Usage Notes When using the clock time base output function, the output pin (BO1) pull-up resistor must have a value of over 100kΩ. The use of a Schmitt input in the microcontroller that accepts this signal is recommended to reduce chattering. This is to prevent degradation of the VCO C/N characteristics when combining with a loop filter that uses the internal transistor provided to form a low-pass filter. Although the ground for the clock time base output pin (VSSd) and the ground for the transistor (VSSa) are isolated internally on the chip, applications must take care to avoid ground loops and minimize current fluctuations in the time base pin to prevent degradation of the low-pass filter characteristics.

As a result, it is easy for the loop to become unstable, and special care is required in application design. The following problems can occur if an ON/ON mode is used. (1) Sidebands may be created by reference frequency leakage. (2) Sidebands may be created by low-frequency leakage due to the correction pulse envelope. Although the loop is more stable when a dead zone is present (i.e. when an OFF/OFF mode is used), a dead zone makes it more difficult to achieve excellent C/N characteristics. On the other hand, while it is easy to achieve good C/N characteristics when there is no dead zone, achieving good loop stability is difficult. Accordingly, the DZA and DZB settings, in which there is no dead zone, can be effective in situations where a signal-to-noise ratio of 90 to 100dB or higher is required in FM reception, or where it is desirable to increase the pilot margin in AM stereo reception. However, if such a high signal-to-noise ratio is not required for FM reception, if an adequate pilot margin can be acquired in AM stereo reception, or if AM stereo is not required, then either DZC or DZD, in which there is a dead zone, should be chosen. No.A2009-20/24 LC72121MA Dead Zone As shown in figure 1, the phase comparator compares a reference frequency (fr) with fp. As shown in figure 2, the phase comparator's characteristics consist of an output voltage (V) that is proportional to the phase difference φ. However, due to internal circuit delay and other factors, an actual circuit has a region (the dead zone, B) where the circuit cannot actually compare the phases. To implement a receiver with a high S/N ratio, it is desirable that this region be as small as possible. However, it is often desirable to have the dead zone be slightly wider in popularly-priced models. This is because in certain cases, such as when there is a strong RF input, popularly-priced models can suffer from mixer to VCO RF leakage that modulates the VCO. When the dead zone is small, the circuit outputs signals to correct this modulation and this output further modulates the VCO. This further modulation may then generate beats and the RF signal.

A capacitance of about 100pF is desirable for these capacitors. In particular, if the IFIN pin coupling capacitor is not held under 1000pF, the time to reach the bias level may become excessive and incorrect counts may result due to the relationship with the wait time. (3) Notes on IF counting → Use the SD signal in conjunction with IF counting When counting the IF frequency, the microcontroller must determine the presence or absence of the IF IC SD (station detect) signal and turn on the IF counter buffer output and execute the IF count only if there is an SD signal. Autosearch techniques that only use the IF counter are subject to incorrect stopping at points where there is no station due to IF buffer leakage. (4) DO pin usage The DO pin can be used for IF counter count completion checking and as an unlock detection output in addition to its use in data output mode. It is also possible to have the DO pin reflect the state of an input pin to input that state to the microcontroller. (5) Power supply pins Capacitors must be inserted between the power supply VDD and VSS pins for noise exclusion. These capacitors must be placed as close as possible to the VDD and VSS pins. (6) VCO setup Applications must be designed so that the VCO (local oscillator) does not stop, even if the control voltage (Vtune) goes to 0V. If it is possible for the oscillator to stop, the application must use the control data (DLC) to temporarily force Vtune to VCC to prevent deadlock from occurring. (Deadlock clear circuit) No.A2009-21/24 LC72121MA (7) Front end connection example Since this product is designed with the relatively high resistance of 200kΩ for the pulldown (on) resistors built in to the FMIN and AMIN pins, a common AM/FM local oscillator buffer can be used as shown in the following circuit. FMIN FM OSC OSC buffer out On resistance: 200kΩ AM OSC AMIN On resistance: 200kΩ FE PLL (8) PD pin Note that the charge pump output voltage is reduced when this IC, which is a 3-V system, is used to replace the LC72131K/KMA, which is a 5-V system. This means that since the loop gain is reduced, the loop filter constants, the lock time (SD wait time), and other related parameters must be reevaluated in the end product design.
