Decouple the wiring to VCC (Pin 4) as close to the pin as possible. 2) Oscillator Input Oscillator input method a) Using Pins 1 and 2, input a self-excited oscillation signal through the composition of a Colpitts type crystal oscillator circuit. b) Directly input a local oscillation signal to Pin 1. 1 2 1 3 2 Ceramic filter VCC 3 Ceramic filter From local signal Fig. 1 3) Mixer The mixer is of double-balance type. Pin 24 is the input pin. Input though a suitable matching circuit. The input impedance is 2.0 kΩ. Pin 3 serves as the output pin for the mixer, and a load resistance of 1.5 kΩ is incorporated. 4) IF Filter The filter to be connected between this mixer output and the IF limiter amplifier input should have the following specifications. I/O impedance : 1.5 kΩ ±10 % Band width : Changes according to applications. 5) IF Limiter Amplifier The gain of this IF limiter amplifier is approximately 100 dB. Take notice of the following points in making connection to the IF limiter amplifier input pin (Pin 5). a) Wiring to the IF limiter amplifier input (Pin 5) should be as short as possible. b) As the IF limiter amplifier output appears at QUAD (Pin 8), wiring to the ceramic discriminator connected to QUAD should be as short as possible to reduce the interference with the mixer output and IF limiter amplifier input. 3 4 5 6 7 8 VCC Wire as short and apart as possible Fig. 2 —9— As short as possible 9 CXA3179N 6) Quick Charge In order to hasten the Pin 7 rising time from when power is turned on, the CXA3179N features a quick charge circuit. The capacitance value connected to Pin 7 should be chosen such that the voltage does not vary much due to discharge during battery saving. Connect a signal for controlling the quick charge circuit to Pin 18. Setting this pin high enables the quick charge mode, and setting this pin low enables the steady-state reception mode. Quick charge is used when the power supply is turned on. The battery saving must be set high at the time. Connect Pin 18 to GND when quick charge is not being used.

To perform phase shift, connect a ceramic discriminator to Pin 8. The phase shifting capacitor for the quadrature detector is incorporated. The FM (FSK) signal demodulated with the detector will be output to AUDIO (Pin 16) through the internal LPF. The AUDIO output is the anti-phase output to the NRZ OUT. The CDBM455C50 (MURATA MFG. CO., LTD.) ceramic discriminator is recommended for the CXA3179N. For the 2-level system, the CDBM455C28 can also be used. 7 8 9 6.5k Ceramic discriminator CDBM455C50 VCC Fig. 4 The detector output level is changed according to the resistance value connected to Pin 8. 8) Filter Buffer, Level Comparator and NRZ Comparator The LPF circuit is built in this IC.

Comparator Output The level comparator and the NRZ comparator shape the waveform of this input signal and output it as a square wave. The comparator output stage is for open collector. Thus, if the CPU is of CMOS type and the supply voltage is different, a direct interface as illustrated in the figure below can be implemented. VCC 1.4V VCC 4 CMOS power supply (15) CMOS IC 19 Comparator output Fig. 6 —12— CXA3179N 8) -3. Level Comparator Output The level comparator characteristics are as shown in the figure below. Therefore, a high signal is output at the bit border even if the input signal is a ±4.8 kHz signal. This high output interval varies according to the frequency response of the bit rate filter, and widens as the cut-off frequency becomes lower. The decoder avoids this high interval when processing data.

Since the output is an open collector, it can be used to directly drive the CMOS device. The setting voltage of the LVA is 1.05 V (typ.), and it possesses a hysteresis with respect to the supply voltage. The hysteresis width is 50 mV (typ.). 11) B.S. Operation of the CXA3179N can be halted by setting this pin low. This pin can be connected directly to the CMOS device. The current consumption for battery saving is 10 µA or less (at 1.4 V).

NEG [L.C. OUT] Level comparator output 1.6kHz 4.8kHz The 4-level FSK demodulating data is divided into an NRZ OUT and L.C. OUT shown above. Here, the NRZ OUT corresponds to a conventional NRZ comparator output. The L.C. OUT is made comparing the demodulated waveform amplitude to the IC internal reference voltage levels. When the threshold value of L.C. OUT is not appropriate to the detector output, the resistance value on Pin 8 should be varied for the detector output level adjustment or the resistor should be inserted between Pin 6 and VCC for the level comparator threshold value adjustment. For the 2-level FSK demodulation, it corresponds to a conventional NRZ comparator output. 6 R VCC —14— CXA3179N 12)-2. 4-level Signal and Threshold Value The demodulated signal is optimally matched to the NRZ comparator threshold value by applying AFC (see 13) AFC). (operation point correction using a feedback loop filter) The comparator threshold value is fixed. The level comparator threshold value can be adjusted by varying the detector output level by changing the damping resistance of the discriminator. (AC gain adjustment) Level comparator threshold value 1 NRZ threshold value=Demodulated signal average voltage Level comparator threshold value 2 AC gain adjustment 12)-3. Offset Amount and Threshold Value Immediately after power-on when the REF capacitor is not charged with the correction voltage, if the input frequency has an offset, some time is required to correct this offset. In addition, the times required to obtain 2-level and 4-level data differ according to the offset amount. a) 2-level signals In the case of 2-level signals, correct data is obtained when the offset amount is smaller than the detector output amplitude. This is 75 mV or less when the detector output level is 150 mVp-p which corresponds to within ±4.8 kHz when converted to a frequency by the S curve. Thus, 2-level data is obtained without an operation point correction time lag when the frequency offset is within ±4.8 kHz. NRZ threshold value offset b) 4-level signals In the case of 4-level signals, correct data is obtained when the offset amount is less than 1/3 of the detector output amplitude (during ±4.8 kHz DEV). This is 25 mV or less when the detector output level is 150 mVp-p which corresponds to ±1.6 kHz or less when converted to a frequency by the S curve. Thus, 4level data is obtained without an operation point correction time lag when the frequency offset is within ±1.6 kHz Level comparator threshold value 1 NRZ threshold value offset Level comparator threshold value 2 As shown above, 4-level signals have an allowable offset range 1/3 that of 2-level signals. When the offset exceeds this allowable range, time is required to determine the operation point and obtain correct data through feedback. Also, even if the offset is within the allowable range, the output pulse duty changes until the offset is 0. —15— CXA3179N 13) AFC The AFC is of the current output type which outputs the frequency deviation in the form of the current and converts it to the voltage. The output current range is approximately ±0.4 µA for the slow mode and ±70 µA for the fast mode. The circuit to be connected with this pin should have the higher impedance. The operating range of the AFC pin is between approximately 0.1 V to (VCC –0.2) V. Use the buffer amplifier to expand the operating range. AUDIO 16 BUF COMP LPF 19 Vref V=it/C 1st MIX To CXA3179N Vin (S curve voltage) 1st OSC 7 VCO Vref C RF External parts The Pin 7 voltage V continues to change till the Vin value reaches the Vref value. When these values are equal, the Pin 7 output current becomes “0” and the voltage is determined by the charge and time. Therefore, the Pin 7 voltage is undefined. The AFC voltage varies, for example, as shown below by the VCO characteristics. The AFC voltage follows the VCO characteristics because this voltage is independent of the slope of the S curve. In other words, the CXA3179N operates according to the VCO characteristics when the VCO characteristics have the linearity with respect to the voltage and the VCO characteristics can be controlled within the range shown in the graph below. A B Pin 7 voltage (VCC–0.2)V C 0.1V f0 Input frequency —16— CXA3179N 14) Sensitivity Adjustment Method The constants shown in the Application Circuit are for the standard external parts. However, adjustment may be necessary depending on the conditions of use, characteristics of external parts, and the RF system circuit and decoder connected to the IF IC, etc. Adjust the sensitivity according to the following procedures. a) MIX IN matching When using a matching circuit between the RF system circuit and MIX IN of the CXA3179N, adjust the trimmer to obtain the optimal sensitivity while monitoring the AUDIO output. b) Local input level The mixer circuit gain is dependent on the local signal input level to OSC IN. The input level to OSC IN should be set as high as possible within the range of –6 to +2 dBm as shown in the graph of “Local input level vs. Mixer gain characteristics”. However, care should be taken as raising the input level above +2 dBm will cause the sensitivity to drop. When creating the local signal using the internal oscillator circuit, the oscillation level varies according to the external capacitances attached to Pins 1 and 2 and the characteristics of the used crystal. Therefore, be sure to adjust the external capacitance values attached to Pins 1 and 2 according to the crystal characteristics. OSC 1 2 C1 C2 VCC C1 and C2 have the following range in the figure above. C1 ≥ C2 C1 = C2 to C1 =5C2 As for the ratio of C1 to C2, the oscillation stabilizes as C1 approaches equality with C2. The oscillation level decreases as the C1 and C2 values become larger, and increases as the C1 and C2 values become smaller. Use a FET probe to confirm the local input level. c) LPF constant The data filter cut-off may need to be changed depending on the characteristics of the connected decoder. Adjust the capacitance values of Pins 9 to 12 while checking the incoming sensitivity including the decoder. If the capacitance values are too large, the detector output waveform will deviate at high data rates, causing the sensitivity to drop. Conversely, if the capacitance values are too small, the LPF will be easily affected by noise, causing the sensitivity to drop. Adjust capacitance values of Pins 9 to 12 so that the capacitance value described in “8)-1. LPF Constant” becomes smaller. —17— CXA3179N d) Detector output level The NRZ comparator and level comparator threshold values are fixed for the CXA3179N. In the case of 4level signals, the relationship between the level comparator threshold value and the detector output level affects the sensitivity. The detector output level can be adjusted by the resistance attached to Pin 8. Increasing the resistance value also increases the output level, and vice versa. The Pin 8 resistance value differs according to the ceramic discriminator attached to Pin 8. When the discriminator is changed to a different type, the resistance value must be adjusted. Adjust the resistance value while monitoring the level comparator output waveform or the sensitivity including the decoder. e) AFC The CXA3179N uses AFC to correct the IF frequency deviation. When the IF frequency deviation amount is large, correction takes time and may lower the sensitivity. Adjust the oscillator frequency of the local oscillator so that the center frequency of the signal input to Pin 5 (IF IN) is as close to 455 kHz as possible. 15) CXA3179N Standard Board Description • Outline This board contains the external parts shown in the Application Circuit in order to evaluate the CXA3179N operation • Features The following CXA3179N basic operations can be checked. 1) Varying the data filter cut-off 2) Battery saving and other mode switching 3) NRZ output and level comparator output pins 4) AFC pin — Pin 7 serves as the output pin for the AFC. • Method of use 1) Input the CXA3179N supply voltage VCC=1.4.
