Buffered Local Oscillator Output + 23 50 1 ESD 1V The buffered local oscillator used for output, drives the FM input of the PLL circuit (for example, U428xBM family). The typical parallel output resistance at 100 MHz is 70 , the parallel output capacitance is about 10 pF. When using an external load of 500 /10 pF, the oscillator swing is about 100 mV. The second harmonic of the oscillator frequency is less than -15 dBc. GND1 Figure 4. Ground of the Second IF Amplifier 8 2 ESD There is no internal connection to the other ground pins. IF2OUT Figure 5. Output of the Second IF Amplifier 3 ESD VS VREF The parallel output capacitance to ground is about 7 pF. The external load resistance must be connected to VS. The DC current into the pin is typically 3 mA. Note: The supply voltage VS has to be protected against IF distortion. 5 4807A-AUDR-05/04 GAINIF1 Figure 6. Gain Control of the First IF Amplifier 17 VREF 2 k ESD 4 The gain of the first IF amplifier can be adjusted by a resistor to ground. This is useful, for example, to compensate for the insertion loss tolerances of the ceramic BPFs. It must be ensured that the output current of the pin does not exceed 150 A in any case. Linear increasing in the current out of GAINIF1 results in a linear dB increase of the gain (0.15 dB/A). I4 = 0, thus, G = Gmin = 2 dB I4 = 140 A, thus, G = Gmax = 22 dB IF2IN Figure 7. Input of the Second IF Amplifier VREF 5 ESD The parallel input resistance is 330 . The parallel input capacitance is about 12 pF. No DC current is allowed. To avoid overload of this stage, an internal detector watches the input level and causes current at the AGCOUT pin. 6 U4065B 4807A-AUDR-05/04 U4065B IF1OUT Figure 8.

The amplifier is extremely sensitive to AC signals. An IF signal with a few hundred V at this pin will cause current at the AGC output. Therefore, attention needs to be paid when connecting the standard ceramic filter between IMOUT and this pin. The reference point of the filter has to be free of any AC signal, no DC current shall appear at this pin. 7 4807A-AUDR-05/04 AGCOUT Figure 10. Output of the Automatic Gain Control 10 1k ESD 1V The AGC output is an open collector output. The current of the pin diode is this current multiplied by the current gain of the external PNP transistor. The DC voltage at the pin may vary from 2 V to VS, therefore, this pin can easily be used as an indicator of the AGC regulation state. IMMIXOUT Figure 11.

For minimum blocking, this pin is connected to ground. To set the threshold to lower levels, the resistance should have a value of up to a few hundred k. 8 U4065B 4807A-AUDR-05/04 U4065B MIXIN1 Figure 13.

Reference Voltage Output VS 200 4.6 V 17 ESD The internal temperature-compensated reference voltage is 3.9 V and it is used as bias voltage for most blocks. Therefore, the electrical characteristics of the U4065B are mainly independent of the supply voltage. The internal output resistance of the reference voltage is less than 10 . To avoid internal coupling across this pin, external capacitors are required. The maximum output current is IREF = 5 mA. 9 4807A-AUDR-05/04 MIXOUT1, MIXOUT2 Figure 16.

A new design philosophy enables to build up tuners with superior behavior. This philosophy is based on the fact that the sensitivity of state of the art designs is at the physical border and cannot be enhanced any more. On the other hand, the spectral power density in the FM-band increases. An improvement of reception can only be achieved by increasing the dynamic range of the receiver. This description is to give the designer an introduction to get familiar with this new product and its philosophy. The Signal Path The U4065B offers the complete signal path of an FM-frontend IC including a highly linear mixer and two IF preamplifiers. The mixer is a double-balanced, high-current Gilbert Cell. A high transit frequency of the internal transistors enables the use of the emitter grounded circuit with its favorable noise behavior. The full balanced output offers LO carrier reduction. The first IF preamplifier has a dB-linear gain adjustment by DC means. Thus, different ceramic filter losses can be compensated and the overall tuner gain can be adapted to the individual requirements. The low noise design suppresses post stage noise in the signal path. Input and output resistance is 330 to support standard ceramic filters. This is achieved without feedback, which would cause different input impedances when varying the output impedance. The second IF preamplifier enables the use of three ceramic filters with real 330 inputand output termination. Feedthrough of signals is kept low. The high level of output compression is necessary to keep up a high dynamic range. Beneath the signal path the local oscillator part and the AGC signal generation can be found on chip. The local oscillator uses the collector grounded colpitts type. A low phase noise is achieved with this access. A mutual coupling in the oscillator coil is not necessary. The AGC Concept Special care was taken to design a unique AGC concept. It offers 3 AGC loops for different kinds of reception conditions. The most important loop is the interference sensor part. In today's high-end car radios, the FM AGC is state of the art. It is necessary to reduce the influence of 3rd and higher order intermodulation to sustain reception in the presence of strong signals in the band. On one hand, it makes sense to reduce the desired signal level by AGC as few as possible to keep up stereo reception, on the other hand two or more strong out-of-channel signals may interfere and generate an intermodulation signal on the desired frequency. By introducing input attenuation, the level of the intermod signal decreases by a higher order, whereas the level of the desired signal shows only a linear dependency on the input attenuation. Therefore, input attenuation by pin diodes may keep up reception in the presence of strong signals. The standard solution to generate the pin diode current is to pick up the RF-signal in front of the mixer. Because the bandwidth at that point is about 1.5 MHz, this is called wideband AGC. The threshold of AGC start is a critical parameter. A low threshold does not allow any intermodulation but has the disadvantage of blocking if there is only one strong station on the band or if the intermod signals do not cover the desired channel. A higher AGC threshold may tolerate a certain ground floor of intermodulation. This avoids blocking, but it has the disadvantage, that no reception is possible, if the interfering signals generate an intermod signal inside the desired channel. This contradiction could not be overcome in the past. 12 U4065B 4807A-AUDR-05/04 U4065B With the new U4065B IC, there is a unique access to this problem. This product has an interference sensor on chip. Thus, an input signal attenuation is only performed if the interfering signals do generate an intermod signal inside the desired channel. If they do not, the existing wideband AGC is active but up to 20 dB higher levels. The optimum AGC state is always generated. The Figure 20 to Figure 23 on page 14 illustrate the situation. In Figure 20 the AGC threshold of a standard tuner is high to avoid blocking. But then the intermod signal suppresses the desired signal. The interference sensor of the U4065B ensures that the AGC threshold is kept low as illustrated in Figure 21 on page 14. In Figure 22 on page 14 the situation is reversed. The AGC threshold of a standard tuner is kept low to avoid intermod problems. But then blocking makes the desired signal level drop below the necessary stereo level. In this case, the higher wideband AGC level of the U4065B enables perfect stereo reception. By principle, this interference sensor is an element with a third order characteristic. For input levels of zero, the output level is zero, too. With increasing input level, the output level is increased with the power of three, thus preferring intermod signals compared to linear signals. At the same time, a down conversion to the IF level of 10.7 MHz is performed. If a corresponding 10.7 MHz IF filter selects the intermod signals, only an output is generated, if an intermod signal inside the 10.7 MHz channel is present. The circuit blocks interference sensor and IF, and detector build up a second IF chain. In an FM system, the maximum deviation of a 3rd order intermod signal is the triple max deviation of the desired signal. Therefore, the ceramic IF BPF between pin 11 and pin 9 may be a large bandwidth type. This is all that is needed for this unique feature. A further narrow band AGC avoids overriding the second IF amplifier. The amplitude information of the channel is not compressed in order to maintain multipath detection in the IF part of the receiver. Figure 20.
