MOTOROLA ANALOG IC DEVICE DATA
The MC44818 is a tuning circuit for TV and VCR tuner applications. It
contains, on one chip, all the functions required for PLL control of a VCO.
This integrated circuit also contains a high frequency prescaler and thus can
handle frequencies up to 1.3 GHz. The MC44818 is a pin compatible drop in
replacement for the MC44817, where the only difference is the MC44818
has a fixed divide–by–8 prescaler (cannot be bypassed) and the MC44817
uses the three wire bus.
The MC44818 has a programmable 512/1024 reference divider and is
manufactured on a single silicon chip using Motorola’s high density bipolar
process, MOSAIC (Motorola Oxide Self Aligned Implanted Circuits).
• Complete Single Chip System for MPU Control (I
2
C Bus). Data and
Clock Inputs are 3–Wire Bus Compatible
• Divide–by–8 Prescaler Accepts Frequencies up to 1.3 GHz
• 15 Bit Programmable Divider Accepts Input Frequencies up to 165 MHz
• Reference Divider: Programmable for Division Ratios 512 and 1024.
• 3–State Phase/Frequency Comparator
• Operational Amplifier for Direct Tuning Voltage Output (30 V)
• Four Integrated PNP Band Buffers for 40 mA (V
CC1
to 14.4 V)
• Output Options for the Reference Frequency and the
Programmable Divider
• High Sensitivity Preamplifier

Data Format and Bus Receiver
The circuit receives the information for tuning and control
via the I2C bus. The incoming information, consisting of a
chip address byte followed by two or four data bytes, is
treated in the I2C bus receiver. The definition of the
permissible bus protocol is shown below:
1_ST A CA CO BA STO
2_ST A CA FM FL STO
3_ST A CA CO BA FM FL STO
4_ST A CA FM FL CO BA STO
STA = Start Condition
STO = Stop Condition
CA = Chip Address Byte
CO = Data Byte for Control Information
BA = Band Information
FM = Data Byte for Frequency Information
FL = Data Byte for Frequency Information

MOTOROLA ANALOG IC DEVICE DATA
Figure 2 shows the five bytes of information that are
needed for circuit operation: there is the chip address, two
bytes of control and band information and two bytes of
frequency information.
After the chip address, two or four data bytes may be
received: if three data bytes are received the third data byte
is ignored.
If five or more data bytes are received the fifth and
following data bytes are ignored and the last acknowledge
pulse is sent at the end of the fourth data byte.
The first and the third data bytes contain a function bit
which allows the IC to distinguish between frequency
information and control plus band information.
Frequency information is preceeded by a Logic “0”. If the
function bit is Logic “1” the two following bytes contain control
and band information. The first data byte, shifted after the
chip address, may be byte CO or byte FM.
The two permissible bus protocols with five bytes are
shown in Figure 2.

The Programmable Divider
The programmable divider is a presettable down counter.
When it has counted to zero it takes its required division ratio
out of the latches B. Latches B are loaded from latches A by
means of signal TDI which is synchronous to the
programmable divider output signal.
Since latches A receive the data asynchronously with the
programmable divider; this double latch scheme is needed to
assure correct data transfer to the counter.
The division ratio definition is given by:
N = 16384 x N14 + 8192 x N13 + … + 4 x N2 + 2 x N1 + N
0
Maximum Ratio 32767
Minimum Ratio 17
N0 … N14 are the different bits for frequency information.
At power “on” the whole bus receiver is reset and the
programmable divider is set to a counting ratio of N = 256 or
higher.
The Prescaler
The prescaler has a preamplifier which guarantees high
input sensitivity.
The Phase Comparator
The phase comparator is phase and frequency sensitive
and has very low output leakage current in the high
impedance state.
Lock Detector
The lock detector output is low in lock. The output goes
immediately high when an unlock condition is detected. The
output goes low again when the loop is in lock during a
complete period of the reference frequency.

The Operational Amplifier
The operational amplifier is designed for very low noise,
low input bias current and high power supply rejection. The
positive input is biased internally. The operational amplifier
needs 28.5 V supply (V
CC2)
as minimum voltage for a
guaranteed maximum tuning voltage of 28 V.
Figure NO TAG shows a possible filter arrangement. The
component values depend very much on the application
(tuner characteristic, reference frequency, etc.).
The Oscillator
The oscillator uses a 3.2 to 4.0 MHz crystal tied to ground in
series with a capacitor. The crystal operates in the series
resonance mode.
The voltage at Pin 3 has low amplitude and low harmonic
distortion.
