b. Read Operation:
– To read the output bits (bits 5/23–12), or the contents of
any register, the following sequence is required (see
Figure 53):
1. The Enable line is taken high.
2. Five bits are entered:
– The first bit must be a 1 to indicate a Read operation.
– The next four bits identify the register address
(0001–0111). The MSB is entered first.
3. The Enable line is taken low . At this transition, the address
is latched in and decoded, and the contents of the selected
register is loaded into the 24–bit output shift register. At this
point, the Data line (Pin 12) is still an input.
4. While maintaining the Enable line low , the data is read out.
The first clock rising edge will change the Data line to an
output, and the MSB will be present on this line.
5. The full contents of the register are then read out (MSB first,
LSB last) with a total of 24 clock rising edges, including the
one in step 4 above. It is recommended that the MCU read
the bits after the clock’s falling edge.
6. After the last clock pulse, the Enable line is to be taken high
and then low. The falling edge of this pulse returns the Data
Pin to be an input. The clock line must be at a logic low and
must not transition in either direction during this Enable
pulse.
7. The Enable line must then be kept low until the next
communication.
Power Supply/Power Saving Modes
The power supply voltage, applied to all VCC pins, can
range from 2.7 to 5.5 V. All VCC pins must be within ±0.5 V of
each other, and each must be bypassed. It is recommended
a ground plane be used, and all leads to the MC33411 be as
short and direct as possible. To reduce the possibility of
device latch–up, it is highly recommended that the Audio,
Synthesizer and RF VCC portions of the chip be isolated from
the main supply through 10 to 25 Ω resistors (see the
Evaluation PCB Schematic, Figure 54). This also provides
RF–to–Audio noise isolation. The supply and ground pins are
distributed as follows:
1. Pin 23 provides power to the audio section. Pin 40 is the
ground pin.
2. Pin 28 provides power to the speaker amplifier section.
Pin 31 is the ground pin.
3. Pin 3 provides power to the Rx PLL section. Pin 5 is the
ground pin.
4. Pin 7 provides power to the Tx PLL section, and the MCU
interface. Pin 5 is the ground pin.
5. Pin 42 provides power to the 2nd LO section. Pins 46 and 48
are the ground pins.
6. Pin 14 is the ground pin for the digital circuitry. Power for the
digital circuitry is derived from Pin 23.
To conserve power, various sections can be individually
disabled by using bits 5/7–0 and 6/7 (setting a bit to 1
disables the section).
1. Reference Oscillator Disable (bit 5/0) – The reference
oscillator at Pins 15 and 16 is disabled, thereby denying a
clock to the three PLLs and the switched capacitor filters.
This function is not available on the “B” version.
2. Tx PLL Disable (bit 5/1) – The 13–bit and 7–bit counters,
input buffer, phase detector, and modulus control blocks
are disabled. The charge pump output at Pin 6 will be in a
Hi–Z state.
3. Rx PLL Disable (bit 5/2) – The 13–bit and 7–bit counters,
input buffer, phase detector, and modulus control blocks
are disabled. The charge pump output at Pin 4 will be in a
Hi–Z state.
4. LO2 PLL Disable (bit 5/3) – The VCO, 14–bit counter,
output buffer , and phase detector are disabled. The charge
pump output at Pin 47 will be in a Hi–Z state.
5. Power Amplifier Disable (bit 5/4) – The two speaker
amplifiers are disabled. Their outputs will go to a high
impedance state.
6. Rx Audio Path Disable (bit 5/5) – The anti–aliasing filter,
low–pass filter, and variable gain stage are disabled.
7. Tx Audio Path Disable (bit 5/6) – Disables the microphone
amplifier and low–pass filter.
8. Low Battery/RSSI Measurement Disable (bit 5/7) – Both
6–bit A/Ds are disabled.
9. Data Slicer Disable (bit 5/8) – The data slicer is disabled
and DS Out goes to high impedance.
10. MCU Clock Disable (bit 6/7) – The MCU clock counter
is disabled and the MCU Clock Output will be in a Hi–Z
state. This function is not available on the “B” version.
Note: The 12–bit reference counter is disabled if the three
PLLs are disabled (bits 5/1–3 = 1).
