NSC DS8906

DS8906 AM/FM Digital Phase-Locked Loop Synthesizer
General Description
The DS8906 is a PLL synthesizer designed specifically for
use in AM/FM radios. It contains the reference oscillator, a
phase comparator, a charge pump, a 120 MHz ECL/I2L
dual modulus programmable divider, and a 20-bit shift register/latch for serial data entry. The device is designed to
operate with a serial data controller generating the necessary division codes for each frequency, and logic state information for radio function inputs/outputs.
The Colpitts reference oscillator for the PLL operates at 4
MHz. A chain of dividers is used to generate a 500 kHz
clock signal for the external controller. Additional dividers
generate a 12.5 kHz reference signal for FM and a 500 Hz
reference signal for AM/SW. One of these reference signals
is selected by the data from the controller for use by the
phase comparator. Additional dividers are used to generate
a 50 Hz timing signal used by the controller for ‘‘time-ofday’’.
Data is transferred between the frequency synthesizer and
the controller via a 3 wire bus system. This consists of a
data input line, an enable line and a clock line. When the
enable line is low, data can be shifted from the controller
into the frequency synthesizer. When the enable line is transitioned from low to high, data entry is disabled and data
present in the shift register is latched.
From the controller 22-bit data stream, the first 2 bits address the device permitting other devices to share the same
bus. Of the remaining 20-bit data word, the next 14-bits are
used for the PLL divide code. The remaining 6 bits are connected via latches to output pins. These 6 bits can be used
to drive radio functions such as gain, mute, FM, AM, LW and
SW only. These outputs are open collector. Bit 18 is used
internally to select the AM or FM local oscillator input and to
select between the 500 Hz and 12.5 kHz reference. A high
level at bit 18 indicates FM and a low level indicates AM.
The PLL consists of a 14-bit programmable I2L divider, an
ECL phase comparator, an ECL dual modulus (p/p a 1)
prescaler, and a high speed charge pump. The programmable divider divides by (N a 1), N being the number loaded
into the shift register (bits 1–14 after address). It is clocked
by the AM input via an ECL d 7/8 prescaler, or through a d
63/64 prescaler from the FM input. The AM input will work
at frequencies up to 8 MHz, while the FM input works up to
120 MHz. The AM band is tuned with a frequency resolution
of 500 Hz and the FM band is tuned with a resolution of 12.5
kHz. The buffered AM and FM inputs are self-biased and
can be driven directly by the VCO thru a capacitor. The ECL
phase comparator produces very accurate resolution of the
phase difference between the input signal and the reference
oscillator.
The high speed charge pump consists of a switchable constant current source (b0.3 mA) and a switchable constant
current sink ( a 0.3 mA). If the VCO frequency is low, the
charge pump will source current, and sink current if the VCO
frequency is high.
A separate VCCM pin (typically drawing 1.5 mA) powers the
oscillator and reference chain to provide controller clocking
frequencies when the balance of the PLL is powered down.

SERIAL DATA ENTRY INTO THE DS8906
Serial information entry into the DS8906 is enabled by a low
level on the ENABLE input. One binary bit is then accepted
from the DATA input with each positive transition of the
CLOCK input. The CLOCK input must be low for the specified time preceding and following the negative transition of
the ENABLE input.
The first 2 bits accepted following the negative transition of
the ENABLE input are interpreted as address. If these address bits are not 1,1, no further information will be accepted from the DATA inputs, and the internal data latches will
not be changed when ENABLE returns high.
If these first 2 bits are 1,1, then all succeeding bits are accepted as data, and are shifted successively into the internal shift register as long as ENABLE remains low.
Any data bits preceding the 20th to last bit will be shifted
out, and are thus irrelevant. Data bits are counted as any
bits following 2 valid (1,1) address bits with the ENABLE
low.
When the ENABLE input returns high, any further serial data
input is inhibited. Upon this positive transition of the
ENABLE, the data in the internal shift register is transferred
into the internal data latches.

Note. The actual divide code is N a 1, i.e., the number loaded plus 1.
