DS8911/DS8913 AM/FM/TV Sound
Up-Conversion Frequency Synthesizer
General Description
The DS8911 is a digital Phase-Locked Loop (PLL) frequency synthesizer intended for use as a Local Oscillator (LO) in
electronically tuned radios. The device is used in conjunction with a serial data controller, a loop filter, some varactor
diodes and several passive elements to provide the local
oscillator function for both AM and FM tuning.
The conventional superheterodyne AM receiver utilizes a
low IF or down conversion tuning approach whereby the IF
is chosen to be below the frequencies to be received. The
DS8911 PLL on the other hand, utilizes an up-conversion
technique in the AM mode whereby the first IF frequency is
chosen to be well above the RF frequency range to be
tuned. This approach eliminates the need for tuned circuits
in the AM frontend since the image, half IF, and other spurious responses occur far beyond the range of frequencies to
be tuned. Sufficient selectivity and second IF image protection is provided by a crystal filter at the output of the first
mixer.
A significant cost savings can be realized utilizing this upconversion approach to tuning. Removal of the AM tuned
circuits eliminates the cost of expensive matched varactor
diodes and reduces the amount of labor required for alignment down from 6 adjustments to 2. Additional cost savings
are realized because up-conversion enables both the AM
and FM bands to be tuned using a single Voltage Controlled
Oscillator (VCO) operating between 98 and 120 MHz. (The
2 to 1 LO tuning range found in conventional AM down conversion radios is reduced to a 10% tuning range; 9.94 MHz
to 11.02 MHz).
Up-conversion AM tuning is accomplished by first dividing
the VCO signal down by a modulus 10 to obtain the LO
signal. This LO in turn is mixed on chip with the RF signal to
obtain a first IF at the MIXER output pins. This first IF after
crystal filtering is mixed (externally) with a reference frequency provided by the PLL to obtain a 450 kHz second IF
frequency. The DS8911 derives the 450 kHz second IF by
mixing an 11.55 MHz first IF with a 12.00 MHz reference
frequency.
FM and WB (weather band) tuning is done using the conventional down conversion approach. Here the VCO signal
is buffered to produce the LO signal and then mixed on chip
with the RF signal to obtain an IF frequency at the MIXER
output pins. This IF frequency is typically chosen to be 10.7
MHz although placement at 11.50 MHz can further enhance
AM mode performance and minimize IF circuitry.
The PLL provides phase comparator reference frequencies
of 10, 12.5, 25, and 100 kHz. The tuning resolutions resulting from these reference frequencies are determined by dividing the reference by the premix modulus. Table II shows
the tuning resolutions possible.
The DS8911 contains the following logic elements: a voltage controlled oscillator, a reference oscillator, a 14-bit programmable dual-modulus counter, a reference frequency divider chain, a premix divider, a mixer, a phase comparator, a
charge pump, an operational amplifier, and control circuitry
for latched serial data entry.
The DS8913 includes all the above logic elements except
that it requires a 10 MHz reference frequency instead of
12 MHz.

BIT Outputs: The open-collector BIT outputs provide either
the status of shift register bits 22, 23, and 24 or enable
access to key internal circuit test nodes. The mode for the
bit outputs is controlled by shift register bits 20 and 21. In
operation, the bit outputs are intended to drive radio functions such as gain, mute, and AM/FM status. These outputs
can also be used to program the loop gain by connection of
an external resistor to IPROG. Bit 24 output can also be
used as a 300 millisecond timer under control of shift register bit 19. During service testing, these pins can be used for
the purpose of either monitoring or driving internal logic
points as indicated in the TEST MODES description under
Table V.
VCOb and VCOe: The Voltage Controlled Oscillator inputs
drive the 14-bit programmable counter and the premix divider. These inputs are the base and emitter leads of a transistor which require connection of a coil, varactor, and several
capacitors to function as a Colpitts oscillator. The VCO is
designed to operate up to 225 MHz. The VCO’s minimum
operating frequency may be limited by the choice of reference frequency and the 961 minimum modulus constraint of
the 31/32 dual modulus counter.
RF a and RFb: The Radio Frequency inputs are fed differentially into the mixer.
IMXR: The bias current for the mixer is programmed by connection of an external resistor to this pin. The total mixer
output current equals 4 times the current entering this pin.
MIXER and MIXER: The MIXER outputs are the collectors
of the double balanced pair mixer transistors. They are intended to operate at voltages greater than VCC1.
OSCb and OSCc: The Reference Oscillator inputs are part
of an on-chip Pierce oscillator designed to work in conjunction with 2 capacitors and a crystal resonator. The DS8911
requires a 12 MHz crystal to derive the reference frequencies shown in Table II. The DS8913 requires 10 MHz crystal.
The 12 MHz OSC signal is also used externally as the 2nd
AM LO to obtain a 450 kHz 2nd IF frequency in the AM
mode.
2 MHz: The 2 MHz output is provided to drive a controller’s
clock input.
50 Hz: The 50 Hz output is provided as a time reference for
radios with time-of-day clocks.
IPROG: The IPROG pin enables the charge pump to be
programmed from 0.25 mA to 1.0 mA by connection of an
external resistor to ground.
CPO: The Charge Pump Output circuit sources current if the
VCO frequency is high and sinks current if the VCO frequency is low. The CPO is wired directly to the negative input of
the loop filter op amp.
OP AMP: The OP AMP output is provided for loop filtering.
The op amp has high impedance PMOS gate inputs and is
wired as a transconductance amplifier/filter. The op amp’s
positive input is internally referenced while its negative input
is common with the CPO output.

Pin Descriptions
VCC1: The VCC1 pin provides a 5V supply source for all
circuitry except the reference divider chain, op amp and mixer sections of the die.
VCC2: The VCC2 pin provides a 12V supply source for the
Op amp.
VCCL: The VCCL pin provides an isolated 5V supply source
for the premix divider and mixer functions.
VCCM: The VCCM pin provides a 5V supply source for the
reference oscillator and divider chain down through the 50
Hz output, thus enabling low standby current for time-of-day
clock applications.
GND1, GND2, GNDL and GNDM: Provide isolated circuit
ground for the various sections of the device.
DATA and CLOCK: The DATA and CLOCK inputs are for
serial data entry from a controller. They are CMOS inputs
with TTL logic thresholds. The 24-bit data stream is loaded
into the PLL on the positive transition of the CLOCK. The
first 14 bits of the data stream select PLL divide code in
binary form MSB first. The 15th through 24th bits select the
premix modulus, the reference frequency, the bit output
status, and the test/operate modes as shown in Tables I
through V.
ENABLE: The ENABLE input is a CMOS input with a TTL
logic threshold. The ENABLE input enables data when at a
logic ‘‘one’’ and latches data on the transition to a logic
‘‘zero’’.

cycle the timer’s BIT 24 output will finish out the 300 ms
pulse. Readdressing the device with bit 19 ‘‘HI’’ before the
timer finishes its cycle will extend the BIT 24 output pulse
width by 300 ms. Addressing should be performed immediately after the 50 Hz output transitions ‘‘HI’’. BIT 24’s output
state is not guaranteed during the first 300 ms after VCC1

TEST MODE OPERATION
Test Mode 1: Enables the BIT output pins to edge trigger
the phase comparator inputs and monitor an internal lock
detector. BIT 22 negative edge triggers the reference divider input of the phase comparator if the reference divider
state is low. BIT 23 provides the open collector ORing of the
phase comparator’s pump up and down outputs. BIT 24
negative edge triggers the N counter input of the phase
comparator if the N counter state is preconditioned low.
Test Mode 2: Enables the BIT outputs to clock the programmable N counter, monitor its output, and force either its
load or count condition. BIT 22 provides the N counter output which negative edge triggers the phase comparator and
which appears low one N counter clock pulse before it reloads. BIT 23 positive edge triggers the N counter’s clock
input if the prescaler’s output is preconditioned HI. BIT 24
clears the N counter output so that loading will occur on the
next N counter clock edge.
Test Mode 3: Enables the BIT outputs to clock the 50 Hz
and 10 kHz reference dividers and monitor the reference
divider input to the phase comparator. BIT 22 positive edge
clocks the 10 kHz reference divider chain if the 10 kHz output is preconditioned HI. BIT 23 positive edge clocks the 50
Hz divider chain. BIT 24 is the reference divider negative
edge trigger input to the phase comparator.

The timer function is provided for use as a retriggerable
‘‘one shot’’ to enable muting for approximately 300 milliseconds after station changes. The timer is enabled at bit 24’s
output if the normal operating mode is selected (shift register bits 20 and 21 e ‘‘LOW’’) and shift register bit 19 data is
latched as a ‘‘HI’’. The timer’s output state will invert immediately upon latching bit 19 ‘‘HI’’ and remain inverted for
approximately 300 milliseconds. If the user readdresses the
device with bit 19 data ‘‘LOW’’ before the timer finishes its
