PLL tone decoder IC
BA1604 / BA1604F
The BA1604 and BA1604F are tone decoder ICs that enable the frequency to be selected in precise detail, using a PLL
system. These ICs are configured of a PLL circuit, a detection circuit, a voltage comparator circuit and an output logic
drive circuit.
When the input signal is within the transmission range of the circuit, PLL is synchronized (locked) to the input signal.
At this point, the output voltage of the decoder drops, and the change turns on the transistors for the voltage comparator
and output logic drive circuits. A load of up to 100mA can be driven.The center frequency (f0) of the decoder is set by
the mobile oscillation frequency of the current control oscillator. This frequency is determined by selecting a CR connected to Pins 5 and 6.

Measurement circuit
Attached components
(1) C1 and R1 : Setting f0
The center frequency (f0) is determined by the resistor R1
between Pins 5 and 6, and the capacitor C1 between Pin
6 and the ground. The constants at this point are determined as follows :
f0
1
C1R1
(kHz) (C : µ F, R : kΩ)
A rectangular-wave voltage is output at Pin 5; the peakto-peak amplitude is between VCC and 1.4 V, and the average DC value is VCC / 2. This pin can drive a load resistance of up to 1kΩ. (The recommended value for R1,
however, is from 2kΩ to 20kΩ.)
A 1V peak-to-peak exponential function triangular wave
with an average DC voltage level of VCC / 2 is output at Pin
6. Since loading this pin adversely affects both the duty
cycle and the temperature stability of the oscillator, it
must only be connected to a high-impedance load.
(2) C2 : Loop filter
Connected between Pin 2 and the ground, C2 functions
as a low pass filter for the PLL circuit, and the time
constant is determined by T2 = R2C2 (R2 is the internal impedance for Pin 2, at 10 kΩ). The value of C2 also determines the detection bandwidth. The voltage at Pin 2 varies linearly at 20mV / % of f0 over the range 0.95 f0 to
1.05 f0.

Application example
(3) C3 : Output filter
Capacitor C3, connected between Pin 1 and the ground,
is used as a low pass filter to suppress out-of-band signals. The time constant T3 is determined by T3 = R3C3 (R3
is the internal impedance for Pin 1, at 4.7kΩ).
To prevent false detection of spurious signals, it is recommended that C3 2C2. If C3 is made too large, however, this will increase the time required for voltage changes
at Pin 1 to reach the threshold of the phase detector, thus
slowing the response time.
(4) C4 : Input coupling capacitor
(5) C5 : Power supply filter capacitor
Input and output pins
(1) Input : Pin 3
The input signal is applied through a coupling capacitor
to Pin 3. Internal circuits set this pin to a DC potential of
2V with respect to the ground. The input impedance is
approximately 20kΩ.
(2) Output : Pin 8
The output logic section has an internal power transistor
with its collector connected to Pin 8. The load is connected between Pin 8 and VCC. The transistor saturates
when an in-band input signal is received, dropping the
potential at Pin 8 to less than 1V (0.6V Typ.). The output
can also drive a load connected to a separate supply voltage of up to 20V.

Operation notes
When setting the central frequency, which is determined
by the capacitor and resistor connected to pins 5 and 6
of this IC, it is recommended to connect a variable resistor between pins 5 and 6 and align the central frequency
of each component in order to prevent shifting of the central frequency caused by fluctuations in the IC, capacitor,
or resistor.
