GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The TDA6404, TDA6405 and TDA6405A are
programmable 2-band mixer/oscillator-PLL synthesizers
intended for VHF/UHF and hyperband tuners (see Fig.1).
The devices include two double balanced mixers and two
oscillators for the VHF and UHF band, an IF amplifier and
a PLL synthesizer. With proper oscillator application and
by using a switchable inductor to split the VHF band into
two sub-bands (the full VHF/UHF and hyperband) the TV
bands can be covered.
Two pins are available between the mixer output and the
IF amplifier input to enable IF filtering for improved signal
handling. Three PNP ports are provided for band
switching. Band selection is made according to the band
switch bits VHFL, VHFH and UHF.
The PLL synthesizer consists of a divide-by-eight
prescaler, a 15-bit programmable divider, a 4 MHz crystal
oscillator and its programmable reference divider and a
phase comparator combined with a charge pump which
drives the tuning amplifier, including 33 V output.
Depending on the reference divider ratio (512, 640
or 1024), the phase comparator operates at 7.8125 kHz,
6.25 kHz or 3.90625 kHz.
The devices are controlled according to the I
2
C-bus
format. The in-lock detector bit FL is set to logic 1 when the
loop is locked and is read on the SDA line (status byte)
during a read operation. The ADC input is available for
digital Automatic Frequency Control (AFC). The ADC code
is read during a read operation on the I2C-bus
(see Table 9). In test mode, pin ADC is used as a test
output for f
REF
and1⁄2f
DIV
.
When the charge pump current switch mode is activated
and the loop is phase-locked the charge pump current
value is automatically switched to LOW. This is to improve
carrier-to-noise ratio. The status of this feature can be read
in the ACPS flag during a read operation on the I2C-bus
(see Table 7).
Five serial bytes (including address byte) are required for
the I2C-bus format to address the devices, select the VCO
frequency, program the three PNP ports, set the charge
pump current and to set the reference divider ratio.
The devices have four independent I2C-bus addresses
which can be selected by applying a specific voltage on the
AS input (see Table 4).
