Circuit Description
The U6239B is a single-chip PLL designed for SAT TV
tuner and cable tuner. It consists of a divide-by-16
prescaler with an integrated preamplifier, a 15-bit
programmable divider, a crystal oscillator, and a
reference divider with selectable divider ratios, a phase/
frequency detector together with a charge pump which
drives the tuning amplifier. Only one external transistor
is required for varactor line driving. The device can be
controlled via I

received. Therefore, there is no need for a bus selection
pin. In I
or one fixed and three programmable I
depending on the voltage level at Pin 3. They are

2
C bus format or via 3-wire bus format. It
2
C bus mode, the device has four programmable
2
C bus addresses,
programmed by applying a specific input voltage to the
address select input Pin 10, enabling the use of up to four
synthesizers in a system. If the fixed address is used, this
pin can be used as a normal output port. The same pin
serves as the enable signal input in 3-wire bus mode.
Depending whether the fixed address is used or not there
are five or six open collector outputs for switching
functions available. In 3-wire bus mode there are four
open collector outputs and one lock signal output. All
open collector outputs are capable of sinking at least
2
10 mA. In I
C bus mode an analog-to-digital converter
(ADC) is available for digital AFC (automatic frequency
control) applications and the ports P4, P5 and P7 can also
be used as input ports.

Functional Description
The U6239B is programmed via a 2-wire I2C bus or

I
SDA, SCL and address select inputs or in 3-wire bus
mode as date, clock and enable inputs, respectively. The
data include the scaling factor SF and port output
information. In I

I2C Bus Description
Functional Description
When the U6239B is controlled via a 2-wire I2C bus
format, then data and clock signals are fed into the SDA
and SCL lines respectively. Depending on the LSB of the
address byte, the device can either accept new data (write
mode: LSB = 0) or send data (read mode: LSB = 1).
Depending on the voltage at the address mode select
input, the device has one fixed and three programmable
or four programmable I
2
“I
C bus write data format” and “I2C bus read data
format” describe the format of the data and show how to
select the device addresses by applying the appropriate
voltages at address select Pin 10 and the address mode
select Pin 3.
Write Mode (Address byte LSB = 0)
When write mode is activated and the correct address byte
is received, the SDA line is pulled low by the device
during the acknowledge period. The SDA line is also
pulled low during the acknowledge periods, when additional data bytes are programmed. After the address
transmission (first byte), data bytes can be sent to the device. There are four data bytes requested to fully program
the device. Once the correct address is received and acknowledged, the first bit of the following byte determines
whether that byte is interpreted as byte 2 or 4; a logic 0 for
divider information and a logic 1 for control and port output information. If byte 2 has been received, the device
always expects byte 3 next. Likewise if byte 4 has been
received, byte 5 is expected. Additional data bytes can be
entered without the need to re-address the device until an
2
C bus stop condition is recognized. This allows a
I
2
C bus addresses. The tables
smooth frequency sweep for fine tuning AFC purposes.
The table “I
sible data transfer examples. In addition, the stop
condition is not a must, the device may be programmed
by using the start condition only.
The programmable divider bytes PDB1 and PDB2 are
stored in a 15-bit latch and control the division ratio of the
15-bit programmable divider. The control byte CB1 enables the controlling of the following special functions:
D
5I bit switches between low and high charge pump
current
D
T1 bit enables divider test mode when it is set to
logic 1
D
T0 bit enables the charge pump to be disabled when
it is set to logic 1
D
RD3, 2 and 1 - bits enable selection of the reference
divider ratio
D
OS-bit disables the charge pump drive amplifier output when it is set to logic 1.
The charge pump current can only be controlled in I
bus mode. In 3-wire bus mode, the high charge pump current is always active.
The OS-bit function disables the complete PLL function.
This enables the tuner alignment by supplying the tuning
voltage directly through the 30 V supply voltage of the
tuner. The control byte CB2 programs the port outputs P0
and P3 - 7.

Read Mode (Address byte LSB = 1)
After the address transmission (first byte), the status byte
can be read from the device on the SDA line (MSB first).
Data is valid on the SDA line during logic high of the SCL
signal. The controller accepting the data has to pull the
SDA line to low-level during all status-byte acknowledge
periods to read another status byte. If the controller fails
to pull the SDA line to low-level during this period, the
device will then release the SDA line to allow the
controller to generate a STOP condition.
The POR bit (power-on-reset) is set to a logic 1 when the
supply voltage V
(at 25°C) and also when the device is initially turned on.
The POR bit is reset to a logic 0 when the read sequence
is terminated by a STOP condition. When the POR bit is
set high (at low V
of the device has dropped below 3 V
S
), this indicates that all the
S
programmed information is lost and the port outputs are
all set to high impedance state.
The FL bit indicates whether the loop is in phase lock
condition (logic 1) or not (logic 0).
If the ADC or the ports are to be used as inputs, the
corresponding outputs must be programmed to a high
impedance state (logic 1).
The bits I2, I1 and I0 show the status of the I/O ports P7,
P5 and P4 respectively. A logic 0 indicates a LOW level
and a logic 1 a HIGH level (TTL levels).
The bits A2, A1 and A0 represent the digital information
of the 5-level ADC. This converter can be used to feed
AFC information to the controller from the IF section of
the receiver, as shown in the typical application circuit on
page 14.

3-Wire Bus Description
When the U6239B is controlled via a 3-wire bus format,
then data, clock and enable signals are fed into the SDA,
SCL and AS/ENABLE/P3 lines respectively. The
diagram “3-wire bus pulse diagram” shows the data format. The data consist of a single word which contains the
programmable divider (14 bit) and port information. Bit
No. 15 of the programmable divider is always zero, when
the 3-wire bus mode is active. The data is only clocked
into the internal data shift register on the negative clock
transition during the enable high period. During enable
low periods the clock input is disabled. New data words
are only accepted by the internal data latches from the
shift register on a negative transition of the enable signal
if exactly eigtheen clock pulses were sent during the high
period of the enable. The data sequence and the timing is
described in the following diagrams.
TELEFUNKEN Semiconductors
Rev . A3, 28-May-97
In 3-wire bus mode Pin 9 automatically becomes the
lock-signal output. An improved lock detect circuit
generates a flag when the loop has attained lock. ‘In lock’
is indicated by a low impedance state (on) of the open
collector output.
In 3-wire bus mode the high charge pump current is
always active. The charge pump current can only be con-
2
trolled in I
C bus mode.
The complete PLL function can be disabled by
programming a normally not used division ratio of zero.
This allows the tuner alignment by supplying the tuning
voltage directly through the 33 V supply voltage of the
tuner.
In 3-wire bus mode the division ratio of the reference
divider is controlled via information RD1, RD2 and the
reference divider select input Pin 3.

Ozone Depleting Substances Policy Statement
It is the policy of TEMIC TELEFUNKEN microelectronic GmbH to
1. Meet all present and future national and international statutory requirements.
2. Regularly and continuously improve the performance of our products, processes, distribution and operating systems
with respect to their impact on the health and safety of our employees and the public, as well as their impact on
the environment.
It is particular concern to control or eliminate releases of those substances into the atmosphere which are known as
ozone depleting substances (ODSs).
The Montreal Protocol ( 1987) and its London Amendments (1990 ) intend to severely restrict the use of ODSs and
forbid their use within the next ten years. Various national and international initiatives are pressing for an earlier ban
on these substances.
TEMIC TELEFUNKEN microelectronic GmbH semiconductor division has been able to use its policy of
continuous improvements to eliminate the use of ODSs listed in the following documents.
1. Annex A, B and list of transitional substances of the Montreal Protocol and the London Amendments respectively
2. Class I and II ozone depleting substances in the Clean Air Act Amendments of 1990 by the Environmental
Protection Agency (EPA) in the USA
3. Council Decision 88/540/EEC and 91/690/EEC Annex A, B and C (transitional substances) respectively.
TEMIC can certify that our semiconductors are not manufactured with ozone depleting substances and do not contain
such substances.
We reserve the right to make changes to improve technical design and may do so without further notice.
Parameters can vary in different applications. All operating parameters must be validated for each customer
application by the customer. Should the buyer use TEMIC products for any unintended or unauthorized
application, the buyer shall indemnify TEMIC against all claims, costs, damages, and expenses, arising out of,
directly or indirectly, any claim of personal damage, injury or death associated with such unintended or
