Functions and Operation
1. Serial data input timing chart
• Data to control the TB32301AFL is serially applied to pins CLK, DATA and STB.
• Data is loaded into shift registers with MSB first on the rising edge of the clock and latched on the rising
edge of the STB signal. When the STB pin is high, the data stored in the shift register is retained even if
clock is applied. When the STB pin is low, the data can be rewritten.
• Input timings of the CLK, DATA and STB are shown below.

2. Serial data control contents
The TB32301F has five types of control contents. These types are determined by serial input 5-bit
register address (group code). The control contents consist of PLL main counter setting, PLL reference
counter setting, auto-tuning reference counter setting, transmit power amplifier gain setting and system
control setting. These settings are controlled independently one another.

• It consists of 6-bit swallow counter, 9-bit programmable counter and 1/64, 1/65 2-modulus
prescaler.
• The divide factor can be set in the range 4032 to 32767 by sending any data to the swallow counter
and the programmable counter.

2.4
Auto-tuning reference counter setting
• The TB32301AFL has an automatic tuning system to correct the fluctuation of center frequency in
FM detector, which is caused by, for example, temperature change. To generate a reference clock to
correct the fluctuation, set the divide factor of auto-tuning reference counter to the value to obtain
200-kHz frequency, according to external reference clock frequency.
• The auto-tuning reference counter consists of 8 bits.
• The divide factor can be set in the range 6 to 255 by sending any data to the reference counter.

• Rise time constant setting of comparator reference level (D1 and D2 bits)
The rise time constant of data comparator reference level is determined by an external capacitance
and an internal resistance. The internal resistance can be selected by applying data serially to pins
CLK, DATA and STB.

3. Image canceller mixer in reception block
The TB32301AFL contains an image canceller mixer as the first stage of the reception block. The image
canceller mixer is designed for upper local, therefore, please set the local signal frequency to f0 (desired
reception frequency) + 11 MHz (IF frequency).
4. Lock detector function (LD pin: 7 pin)
The TB32301AFL incorporates VCO lock detector function.
When a phase error is detected in the phase comparator, 0 is driven out from the LD pin. When the VCO
is locked or all the circuits are OFF, 1 is driven out from the pin.
