Phased~locked

Fundamentals of Phase-Locked Loops
is always smaller than the lock range and is related to
the low-pass filter bandwidth. It decreases as the filter
bandwidth is reduced.
The phase locked loop provides frequency selective
tuning and filtering without the need for coils or inductors. As shown in Figure 1. the PLL in its most basic
form is a feedback system comprised of three basic
functional blocks: a phase comparator. low-pass filter
and voltage controlled oscillator (VeO).
The lock and the capture ranges of a PLL can be illustrated with reference to Figure 2. which shows the typical frequency-to-voltage characteristics of a PLL. In the
figure. the input is assumed to be swept slowly over a
broad frequency range. The vertical scale corresponds
to the loop error voltage.
The basic principle of operation of a PLL can briefly be
explained as follows: With no input signal applied to the
system. the error voltage Vd is equal to zero. The veo
operates at a set frequency. fo • which is known as the
free-running frequency. If an input Signal is applied to
the system. the phase comparator compares the phase
and frequency of the input signal with the veo frequency and generates an error voltage. Ve(t). that is related
to the phase and frequency difference between the two
signals. This error voltage is then filtered and applied to
the control terminal of the veo. If the input frequency.
fs • is sufficiently close to fo• the feedback nature of the
PLL causes the veo to synchronize. or lock. with the
incoming signal. Once in lock. the veo frequency is
identical to the input signal. except for a finite phase difference.
In the upper part of Figure 2. the loop frequency is being gradually increased. The loop does not respond to
the signal until it reaches a frequency f1. corresponding to the lower edge of the capture range. Then. the
loop suddenly locks on the input. causing a negative
jump of the loop error Voltage .. Next. Vd varies with
frequency with a slope equal to the reciprocal of the
veo voltage-to-frequency conversion gain. and goes
through zero as fs = fa. The loop tracks the input until
the input frequency reaches f2. corresponding to the
upper edge of the lock range. The PLL then loses lock.
and the error voltage drops to zero.
If the input frequency is now swept slowly back. the cycle repeats itself as shown in the lower part of Figure 2.
The loop recaptures the signal at f3 and traces it down
to f4. The frequency spread between (f1. f3) and (f2. f4)
corresponds to the total capture and lock ranges of the
system; that is. f3 - f1 = capture range and f2 - f4 =
lock range. The PLL responds only to those input signals sufficiently close to the veo frequency. f o• to fall
within the "lock" or "capture" range of the system. Its
performance characteristics. therefore. offer a high degree of frequency selectivity. with the selectivity characteristics centered about fo .
Two key parameters of a PLL system are its lock and
capture ranges. They can be defined as follows:
Lock range: The range of frequencies in the vicinity of fa.
over which the PLL can maintain lock with an input signal. It is also known as the tracking or holding range.
Lock range increases as the over-all gain of the PLL is
increased.
Capture range: The band of frequencies in the vicinity of
fo where the PLL can establish or acquire lock with an
input signal. It is also known as the acquisition range. It

Applications of PLL Ie's
The basic concept of the phase locked loop (PLL) has
been around since the early 1930's and has been used
for a variety of applications in instrumentation and
space telemetry. However, before the advent of monolithic integration, cost and complexity considerations
limited its use to precision measurements requiring
very narrow bandwidths. In the past few years, the advantages of monolithic integration have changed the
phase locked loop from a specialized design technique
to a general-purpose building block. Therefore, what is
"new" at this point is not the concept of the PLL, but its
availability in a low-cost self contained monolithic Ie
package.
Applications for PLLs Abound
As a versatile building block, the PLL covers a wide
range of applications. Some of the more important are
the following:
FM demodulation: In this application,the PLL is locked on
the input FM signal, and the loop-error voltage, Vd(t) in
Figure 1 (see Box), which keeps the
in lock with
the input signal, represents the demodulated output.
Since the system responds only to input signals within
the capture range of the PLL, it also provides a high degree of frequency seleCtivity. In most applications the
quality of the demodulated output (I.e_, its linearity and
signal/noise ratio) obtained from a PLL is superior to
that of a conventional discriminator.
veo
In many ways, this is similar to the case of the monolithic operational amplifier, which, until less than a decade
ago, was an expensive building block. Today, with the
advent of monolithic technology, it has become a basic
building block in nearly every system design. The
monolithic phase locked loop also offers a similar potential. In fact, many of the applications of the PLL outlined in this article become .economically feasible only
because the PLL is now available as a low-cost Ie building block.
FSKdemodulation: Frequency-shift keyed (FSK) signals
are commonly used to transmit digital information over
telephone lines. In. this type of modulation, the carrier
signal is shifted between two discrete frequencies to
encode the binary data. When the PLL is locked on the
input signal, tracking the shifts in the input frequency,
the error voltage in the loop, Vd(t), converts the frequency shifts back to binary logic pulses.
Signal conditioning: When the PLL is locked on a noisy input signal, the
output duplicates the frequency of
the desired input but greatly attenuates the nOise, undesired sidebands and interference present at the input. It
is also a tracking filter since it can track a slowly varying input frequency.
veo
Today, over a dozen different integrated PLL products
are available from a number of Ie manufacturers. Some
of these are designed as "general-purpose" circuits,
suitable for a multitude of uses; others are intended or
optimized for special applications such as tone detection, stereo decoding and frequency synthesis. This article is intended as a brief survey of the expanding field
of monolithic phase locked loops. Its purpose is to familiarize the reader with their individual characteristics,
capabilities and applications.
Frequency synthesis: The PLL can be used to generate
new frequencies from a stable reference source by either frequency multiplication and division, or by frequency translatiori. Figure 3 shows a typical frequency
multiplication and division circuit, using a PLL and two
programmable counters. In this application, one of the
counters is inserted between the veo and phase comparator and effectively divides the
frequency by

By adding a multiplier and an additional low-pass filter
to a PLL (Figure 4), one can form a frequency translation loop. In this application, the VCO output is shifted
from the reference frequency, fR, by an amount equal
to the offset frequency, f1, i.e., fo = (fR + f1).
Data synchronization: The PLL can be used to extract synchronization from a composite signal, or can be used to
synchronize two data streams or system clocks to the
same frequency reference. Such applications are useful in PCM data transmission, regenerative repeaters,
CRT scanning and or drum memory read-write synchronization.
DEMOOULATED
OUTPUT
Figure 5. AM and tone detection are possible by adding three
functional blocks to the basic phase locked loop.
AM detection: The PLL can be converted to a synchro-
achieved using a PLL system, as shown in Figure 6.
The VCO section of the monolithic PLL is separated
from the phase-comparator and used to generate a voltage controlled reference frequency, fRo The motor shaft
and the tachometer output provide the second signal,
frequency fM, which is compared to the reference frequency. The controller is a power amplifier which drives
the speed-control windings of the motor. Thus, the motor and tachometer combination essentially functions
as a VCO which is phase locked to the voltage controlled reference frequency, fRo
nous AM detector with the addition of a non·critical
phase-shift network, an analog multiplier and a lowpass filter. The system block diagram for this application is shown in Figure 5.
In this application, as the PLL tracks the carrier of the
input signal, the VCO regenerates the unmodulated car·
rier and feeds it to the reference input of the multiplier
section. In this manner, the system functions as a synchronous demodulator with the filtered output of the
multiplier representing the demodulated audio information.
Stereo decoding: In commercial FM broadcasting, suppressed carrier AM modulation is used to superimpose
the stereo information on the FM signal. To demodulate
the complex stereo signal, low-level pilot tone is transmitted at 19 kHz (1/2 of actual carrier frequency). The
PLL can be used to lock onto this pilot tone, and regenerate a coherent 38 kHz carrier which is then used to
demodulate the complete stereo signal. A number of
highly specialized monolithic circuits have been developed for this application. A typical example of monolithic stereo decoder circuits using the PLL principle is the
XR-1310 stereo demodulator IC.
Tone detection: In this application, the PLL is again connected as shown in Figure 5. When a signal tone is
present at the input, within a frequency band corresponding to the capture range of the PLL, the output dc
voltage is shifted from its tone-absent level. This shift is
easily converted to a logic signal by adding a threshold
detector with logic-compatible output levels.
Motor speed contrOl: Many electromechanical systems,
such as magnetic tape drives and disc or drum head
drivers, require precise speed control. This can be

Center frequency stability.
Logic compatible output.
Control of VCO conversion gain.
Center frequency stability is essential to insure that the
VCO frequency range stays within the signal band over
the operating temperature range. A logic compatible
output is desirable to avoid the need for an external
voltage comparator (slicer) to square the output pulses.
It is particularly convenient if the output conforms to
RS-232C standard, thereby eliminating the need for a
separate line-driver circuit. Control of the VCO's conversion gain allows the circuit to be used for both large deviation FSK signals (such as 1200 baud operation) as
well as for small deviation (75 baud) FSK signals.
'
At the onset of his design, the user of monolithic PLL
products is faced with the key question of choosing the
phase-locked loop IC best suited to his application. The
broad line of PLL products offered by Exar cover a wide
range of applications. It is often difficult to determine at
a glance the best circuit for a given application. The
purpose of this section is to review some of the key performance requirements, from an applications pOint of
view, and help answer the question; "What is the best
PLL product for the job?"
Table 2 gives a brief listing of some of the major classes
of PLL applications, and lists the recommended circuits
'for each. A further discussion of the key performance
parameters associated with each application are also
listed below.
For FSK decoding at low frequencies (i.e., below 300
kHz) the XR-2211 is by far the optimum circuit to use
because of its frequency stability and carrier-detect capability. For FSK detection at higher frequencies (up to
10 MHz) the XR-210 is the recommended circuit.
FM demodulation: Essentially all the PLL circuits listed in
Table 1 can be used for FM demodulation. However, it is
often possible to narrow the choice down to 2 or 3 circuits, based on the particular performance criteria. In
general, there are three key performance parameters
which should be examined:
o
Quality of demodulated output: This is, normally
measured in terms of the output level, distortion,
and signal/noise ratio for a given FM deviation.
o
VCO frequency range and frequency stability: For
reliable operation, VCO upper frequency limit (see
Table 1) should be at least 20% above the FM carrier frequency. VCO frequency stability is important,
especially if a narrow-band filter is used in front of
the PLL, or multiple input channels are present. If
the VCO exhibits excessive drift, the PLL can drift
out of the input signal band as the ambiel'lt temperature varies.
o
Detection threshold: This, parameter determines
minimum signal level necessary for the PLL to lock
and demodulate an FM signal of given deviation.
Frequency synthesis: This application requires a PLL circuit with the loop opened between the VCO output and
the phase comparator input, so that an external frequency divider can be inserted into the feedback loop
of the PLL. This requirement is satisfied by XR-S200,
XR-210, XR-215 and the XR-2212 PLL circuits.
For frequency synthesis at low frequencies (i.e., with
maximum output frequency less than 300 kHz) the
XR-2212 is by far the best suited circuit since it has the
best VCO stability and interfaces easily with all logic
families. For operation above 300 kHz, either the
XR-210 or the XR-215 PLL IC's can be used for frequency synthesis; however the XR:215 offers the highest frequency capability.
Signal conditioning: Most signal conditioning applications
require very narrow-band operation of the PLL. This in
turn may require the use of active filters within the loop
(between the phase detector and the VCO). The PLL circuits which allow active filers to be inserted into the
loop are the XR-S200 arid the XR-2212. Both of these
circuits already contain an op. amp. on the chip for active filtering. For low frequencies (i.e. below 300 kHz)
the XR-2212 is the best suited circuit because of its adjustable tracking bandwidth and excellent frequency
stability. For higher frequencies the XR-S200 is the recommended circuit.
In most FM demodulation applications, it is also desirable to control the amplitude of the demodulated output. This feature is provided in some of the PLL circuits
(such as the XR-215 and the XR-2212) by means of a
variable-gain amplifier contained on the chip.
For low-frequency FM detection (below 300 kHz carrier
frequency) the XR-2212 is recommended because of its
versatility and temperatlire stability. For FM demodulation at frequencies above 300 kHz, the XR-2215 offers
the best performance because of its high frequency capability.
Tone decoding: The PLL circuits especially designed for
this application are the XR-567, the XR-L567, the
XR-2567 and the XR-2211. The XR-2211 offers the highest frequency stability, and independent control of system bandwidth and response time, among the three circuits. The XR-567 has a relatively high input threshold
('" 20 mV, rms) and may require input preamplification;
however it requires fewer external components that the
XR-2211. The XR-2567, which contains two independent 567-type tone decoders on the same chip may be
more economical to use in multiple-tone detection systems.
FSK decoding: Frequency-shift keying used in digital
communications is very similar to analog FM modulation. Therefore, any PLL IC can be used for FSK decoding, provided that its input sensitivity and the tracking
range are sufficient for a given FSK signal deviation.
Some of the basic requirements and desirable features
for a PLL used in FSK decoding are:

SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
The XR-210 is made up of a stable wide-range voltagecontrolled oscillator (VCO), exclusive OR gate type
phase detector, and an analog voltage comparator. The
VCO, which produces a square wave as an output, is either used in conjunction with the phase detector to
form a phase-locked loop (PLL) for FSK demodulation
and tone detection or as a generator in FSK modulation
schemes. The phase detector when used in the PLL
configuration produces a differentional output voltage
with a 6 KO output impedance, which when capacitively
loaded forms a single pole loop filter. The voltage comparator is used to sense the phase detector output and
produces the output in the FSK demodulation connection.

PRINCIPLES OF OPERATION
Description of Controls
Phase-Detector Inputs (Pin 4 and 6):
One input to the phase detector is used as the signal input; the remaining input should be ac coupled to the
veo output (Pin 15), to complete the PLL (see Figure 1).
For split supply operation, these inputs are biased from
ground as shown in Figure 2.
Phase-Detector Bias (Pin 5):

This terminal should be dc biased as shown in Figures
1 and 2, and ac grounded with a bypass capacitor. The

bias resistor in series with this pin should be half as
large as those in series with Pin 4 and 6.
Fine Tune Control (Pin 9):
For a given choice of timing capacitor, CO, the VCO frequency can be further fine-adjusted to a desired frequency, f1' by means of a trimmer resistor, Rr. connected from Pin 9 to Pin 7, as shown in Figure 6. The fine
tuned VCO frequency, f1' is related to AT as:
Phase-Detector Outputs (Pin 2 and 3):
The low-frequency (or dc) voltage across these pins
corresponds to the phase difference between the two
signals at the phase-detector inputs (Pin 4 and 6).
These differential phase-detector outputs are internally
connected to the VCO control terminals. Pin 3 is also internally connected to the reference input of the voltage
comparator section.

VCO Timing Capacitor (Pin 13 and 14):
The VCO free-running frequency, fo, is inversely proportional to the timing capacitor, CO, connected between
Pin 13 and 14. With Pin 9 and 10 open-circuited, the
VCO frequency is related to Co as:
In normal use, the low-pass loop-filter capacitor, C1, is
connected between Pin 2 and 3. The 6 kO impedances
of the two outputs add to 12 kO in the single-pole RC
low-pass loop filter. Pin 2 is externally connected to the
voltage comparator input (Pin 1) through an RC lowpass filter.
fa '" 220 Hz

Frequency-Keying Input (Pin 10):
The VCO frequency can be varied between two discrete
frequencies, f1 and f2' by connecting an external resistor, RX, to this terminal. Referring to Figure 6, the VCO
frequency is proportional to the sum of currents, 11 and
12, through the transistors, T1 and T2, on the monolithic
chip. These transistors are biased from a fixed internal
reference. The current, 11, is set internally, and is partially controllable by the fine-tune adjustment, AT. The
current, '2, is set by the external resistor, RX, connected between Pin 10 and Pin 7. For any Co setting, the
VCO frequency, f2' with RX connected to Pin 10, can be
expressed as:
f2 = f1

+
where Co is in /.IF.
VCO Output (Pin 15):
The VCO produces approximately a 2.5V pop square
wave output signal at this pin. The dc output level is approximately 2 volts below VCC. This pin should be connected to Pin 7 through a 10 kO resistor to increase the
output current drive capability. For high-voltage operation (VCC > 20V), a 20 kO resistor is recommended. It
is also advisable to connect a 5000 resistor in series
with this output, for short-circuit protection.
Using the frequency-keying control, the VCO frequency
can also be stepped in a binary manner by applying a
logic signal to Pin 10, as shown in Figure 6. For highlevel logic inputs, the transistor, T2, is turned off, RX is
effectively switched out of the circuit, and the VCO frequency is shifted from f2 to f1.

Voltage' Comparator Input (Pin 1):
This pin provides the signal input to the voltage comparator section. The comparator section is normally used
for post-demodulation slicing and pulse shaping. Normally. Pin 1 is connected to Pin 2 through a 15K external resistor, as shown in Figures 1 and 2. The input impedance level at this pin is approximately 2 MO.
VCO Sweep Input (Pin 12):
The VCO frequency can be swept over a broad range
by applying an analog sweep voltage, Vs to Pin 12 (see
Figure 5). The impedance level looking into the sweep
input is approximately 500. Therefore, for sweep applications, a current limiting resistor, RS, should be connected in series with this terminal. Typical sweep characteristics of the circuit are shown In Figure 5. The VCO
temperature dependence is minimal when the sweep
input is not used, and should be left open-circuited.
Logic Driver Output (Pin 8):
This pin provides a binary logic output corresponding to
the polarity of the input signal, at the voltage comparator inputs. It is a bare-coliector type stage with highcurrent sinking capability.
CAUTION: For safe operation of the circuit, the maximum current, 'S, drawn from the sweep terminal should
be limited to 5 mA or less, under all operating conditions.
Definition of Terms
Phase-Dejector Gain, Kd:
Kd is the output voltage from the phase detector per radian of phase difference at the phase-detector inputs
(Pin 4 and 6). Kd is proportional to the input signal for
low-level inputs (s25 mV rms), and is constant at highinput levels (see Figure 8).
VCO Conversion Gain (Pin 11):
The VCO voltage-to-frequency conversion gain, KO, is
inversely proportional to the value of the external gaincontrol resistor, RO, connected across Pin 11 and 12.

The phase comparator outputs are internally connected
to the veo control terminals (see Figure 1). One of the

RANGE-SELECT (PIN 10)
tem comprised of three basic functional blocks: phase
comparator, low-pass filter and voltage-controlled oscillator (VeO). The basic principle of operation of a PLL
can be briefly explained as follows: with no input signal
applied to the system, the error voltage Vd, is equal to
zero. The veo operates at a set frequency, fo, which is
known as the "free-running" frequency. If an input signal is applied to the system, the phase comparator
compares the phase and frequency of the input signal
with the
frequency and generates an error voltage,
Ve(t), that is related to the phase and frequency difference between the two signals. This error voltage is then
filtered and applied to the control terminal of the
If
the input frequency, fs, is sufficiently close to fo, the
feedback nature of the PLL causes the veo to synchronize or "lock" with the incoming signal. Once in lock,
the veo frequency is identical to the input Signal, except for a finite phase difference.
The frequency range of the XR-215 can be extended by
connecting an external resistor, RX, between pins 9 and
10. With reference to Figure 11, the operation of the
range-select terminal can be explained as follows: The
frequency is proportional to the sum of currents 11
and 12 through transistors Tt and T2 on the monolithic
chip. These transistors are biased from a fixed internal
reference. The current 11 is set internally, whereas 12 is
set by the external resistor RX. Thus, at any eO setting,
the veo frequency can be expressed as:
veo
fo = f1 (:
+
veo
veo.
~:)
where f1 is the frequency with pin 10 open circuited
and RX is in kO. External resistor RX ('" 7500) is recommended for operation at frequencies in excess of
5 MHz.
A LINEARIZED MODEL FOR PLL
The range select terminal can also be used for fine tuning the veo frequency, by varying the value of RX. Similarly, the
frequency can be changed in discrete
steps by switching in different values of RX between
pins 9 and 10.
When the PLL is in lock, it can be approximated by the
linear feedback system shown in Figure 13. q,s and q,o
are the respective phase angles associated with the input signal and the veo output, F(s) is the low-pass filter
response in frequency domain, and Kd and Ko are the
conversion gains associated with the phase comparator and veo sections of the PLL.
veo
DIGITAL PROGRAMMING
veo
Using the range select control, the
frequency can
be stepped in a binary manner, by applying a logic signal to pin 10, as shown in Figure 11. For high levellcilic
inputs, transistor T2 is turned off, and RX is effectively
switched out of the circuit. Using the digital programming capability, the XR-215 can be time-multiplexed between two separate input frequencies, as shown in
Figures 18 and 19.

Figure 15 shows the external circuit connections to the
XR-215 for frequency-selective FM demodulation. The
choice of Co is determined by the FM carrier frequency
(see Figure 7). The low-pass filter capacitor C1 is determined by the selectivity requirements. For carrier frequencies of 1 to 10 MHz, C1 is in the range of 10 Co to
30 CO. The feedback resistor RF can be used as a
"volume-control" adjustment to set the amplitude of
the demodulated output. The demodulated output amplitude is proportional to the FM deviation and to resistors RO and RF For ± 1 % FM deviation it can be approximated as:
The band of frequencies in the vicinity of fo where the
PLL can establish or acquire lock with an input signal. It
is also known as the "acquisition" range. It is always
smaller than the lock range and is related to the lowpass filter bandwidth. It can be approximated by a parametric equation of the form:

For operation above 5 MHz, RX .. 7501l is recommended.
Typical output signal/noise ratio and harmonic distortion are shown in Figures 16 and 17 as a function of FM

MULTI-CHANNEL DEMODULATION
The ac digital programming capability of the XR-215 allows a single circuit be time-shared or multiplexed between two information channels, and thereby selectively demodulate two separate carrier frequencies. Figure
18 shows a practical circuit configuration for timemultiplexing the XR-215 between two FM channels, at
1 MHz and 1.1 MHz respectively. The channel-select
logic signal is applied to pin 10, as shown in Figure 18
with both input channels simultaneously present at the
PLLinput (pin 4). Figure 19 shows the demodulated output as a function of the channel-select pulse where the
two inputs have sinusoidal and triangular FM modulation respectively.

follows: The counter divides down the oscillator frequency by the programmable divider modulus, N. Thus,
when the entire system is phase-locked to an input signal at frequency, fs, the oscillator output at pin 15 is at a
frequency (Nf s), where N is the divider modulus. By
proper choice of the divider modulus, a large number of
discrete frequencies can be synthesized from a given
reference frequency. The low-pass filter capacitor Cl is
normally chosen to provide a cut-off frequency equal to
0.1 % to 2 % of the signal frequency, f s .
The circuit was designed to operate with commercially
available monolithic programmable counter circuits using TTL logic, such as MC4016, SN5493 or equivalent.

The phase-comparator output voltage is a linear measure of the veo frequency deviation from its freerunning value. The amplifier section, therefore,can be
used to provide a filtered and amplified version of the
loop error voltage. In this case, the dc output level at
pin 15 can be adjusted to be directly proportional to the
difference between the VCO free-running frequency, fo,
and the input Signal, f s. The entire system can operate
as a "linear discriminator" or analog "frequencymeter" over a 3:1 change of input frequency. The discriminator gain can be adjusted by proper choice of RO
or Rf. For the test circuit of Figure 24, the discriminator
output is approximately (0.7 RORF) mV per % of frequency deviation where RO and RF are in kO. Output
non-linearity is typically less than 1 % for frequency deviations up to ± 15 %. Figure 27 shows the normalized

XR·2211
FSK Demodulator/Tone Decoder
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
FUNCTIONAL BLOCK DIAGRAM
The XR-2211 Is a monolithic phase-locked loop (Pll)
system especially designed for data communications. It
Is particularly well suited for FSK modem applications.
It operates over a wide supply voltage range of 4.5 to
20V and a wide frequency range of 0.01 Hz to 300 kHz.
It can accommodate analog signals between 2 mV and
3V, and can interface with conventional DTl, TIL, and
ECl logic families. The circuit consists of a basic Pll
for tracking an input signal within the pass band, a
quadrature phase detector which provides carrier detection,and an FSK voltage comparator which provides
FSK demodulation. External components are used to independently set center frequency, bandwidth, and output delay. An internal voltage reference proportional to
the power supply provides ratio metric operation for low
system performance variations with power supply
changes.

SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
The main Pll within the XR-2211 is constructed from
an input preamplifier, analog multiplier used as a phase
detector, and a precision voltage controlled oscillator
(VCO). The preamplifier is used as a limiter such that input signals above typically 2MV RMS are amplified to a
constant high level signal. The multiplying-type phase
detector acts as a digital exclusive or gate. Its output
(unfiltered) produces sum and difference frequencies of
the input and the VCO output, f input + f input (2f input)
and f input - f Input (0 Hz) when the phase detector output to remove the "sum" frequency component while
passing the difference (DC) component to drive the
VCO. The VCO is actually a current controlled oscillator
with its nominal input current (fo) set by a resistor (RO)
to ground and its driving current with a resistor (R1)
from the phase detector.

The minimum value of the lock detect filter capacitance
Co is inversely proportional to the capture range, ±
Afc. This is the range of incoming frequencies over
which the loop can acquire lock and is always less than
the tracking range. It is further limited by C1. For most
applications, Afc > Af/2. For RO = 470 KD, the approximate minimum value of CD can be determined by:
Step 1: Calculate fO: fO (1110 + 1170) (112) =
1140 Hz
Step 2: Choose RO - 20 KD (18 KD fixed resistor in
series with 5 KD potentiometer)

XR-2212 can be used as a linear FM demodulator for
both narrow-band and wide-band FM signals. The generalized circuit connection for this application is shown
in Figure 10, where the vce output (pin 5) is directly
connected to the phase detector input (pin 16). The demodulated signal is obtained at phase detector output
(pin 10). In the circuit connection of Figure 10, the op
amp section of XR-2212 is used as a buffer amplifier to
provide both additional voltage amplification as well as
current drive capability. Thus, the demodulated output
signal available at the op amp output (pin 8) is fully buffered from the rest of the circuit.

oscillator which comprise the basic phase-locked loop,
plus an additional low pass filter and quadrature detector enabling detection on in-band signals. The device
has a normally high open collector output capable of

The input signal is applied to Pin 3 (20 kO nominal input
resistance). Free running frequency is controlled by an
RC network at Pins 5 and 6 and can typically reach 500
kHz. A capacitor on Pin 1 serves as the output filter and
eliminates out-of-band triggering. PLL filtering is accomplished with a capacitor on Pin 2; bandwidth and
skew are also dependant upon the circuitry here. Bandwidth is adjustable from 0% to 14% of the center frequency. Pin 4 is +VCC (4.75 to 9V nominal, 10V maximum); Pin 7 is ground; and Pin 8 is open collector output, pulling low when an in-band signal triggers the
device.

DEFINITION OF XR-567 PARAMETERS
If the value of C3 becomes too large, the turn· on or
turn·off time of the output stage will be delayed until the
voltage change across C3 reaches the threshold volt·
age. In certain applications, the delay may be desirable
as a means of suppressing spurious outputs. Con·
versely, if the value of C3 is too small, the beat rate at
the output of the quadrature detector (see Figure 1)
may cause a false logic level change at the output.

controlled oscillator with no input signal. It is deter·

DESCRIPTION OF CIRCUIT CONTROLS
OUTPUT FILTER - C3 (Pin 1)
Capacitor C3 connected from pin 1 to ground forms a
simple low·pass post detection filter to eliminate spuri·
ous outputs due to out·of·band signals. The time con·
stant of the filter can be expressed as T3 = R3C3,
where R3 (4.7 kD) is the internal impedance at pin 1.

The precise value of C3 is not critical for most applica·
tions. To eliminate the possibility of false triggering by
spurious signals, it is recommended that C3 be ~ 2 C2,
where C2 is the loop filter capacitance at pin 2.

LOOP FILTER - C2 (Pin 2)
Capacitor C2 connected from pin 2 to ground serves as
a single pole, low-pass filter for the PLL portion of the
XR-567. The filter time constant is given by T 2 = R2C2,
where R2 (10 kG) is the impedance at pin 2.
INPUT
The selection of C2 is determined by the detection
bandwidth requirements, as shown in Figure 6. For additional information see section on "Definition of
XR-567 Parameters".
OUTPUT
The voltage at pin 2, the phase detector output, is a linear function of frequency over the range of 0.95 to 1.05
fo, with a slope of approximately 20 mV/% frequency
deviation.
Response to 100 mV rms tone burst.
RL = 100 ohms.
INPUT (Pin 3)
The input signal is applied to pin 3 through a coupling
capacitor. This terminal is internally biased at a dc level
2 volts above ground, and has an input impedance level
of approximately 20 kG.
INPUT
TIMING RESISTOR Rl AND CAPACITOR Cl (Pins 5 and 6)
The center frequency of the decoder is set by resistor
Rl between pins 5 and 6, and capacitor Cl from pin 6
to ground, as shown in Figure 3.
OUTPUT
Pin 5 is the oscillator squarewave output which has a
magnitude of approximately VCC - lAV and an aver·
age dc level of VCC/2. A 1 kG load may be driven from
this point. The voltage at pin 6 is an exponential triangle
waveform with a peak-to·peak amplitude of 1 volt and
an average dc level of VCC/2. Only high impedance
loads should be connected to pin 6 to avoid disturbing
the temperature stability or duty cycle of the oscillator.

frequency by the expression fo ~ l/Rl Cl. For optimum temperature stability, Rl should be selected
such that 2kG ,;; Rl ,;; 20 kG, and the R1Cl product
should have sufficient stability over the projected
operating temperature range.
LOGIC OUTPUT (Pin 8)
Terminal 8 provides a binary logic output when an input
signal is present within the pass-band of the decoder.
The logic output is an uncommitted, "base·collector"
power transistor capable of switching high current
loads. The current level at the output is determined by
an external load resistor, RL, connected from pin 8 to
the positive supply.
2. Low-pass capacitor, C2, can be determined from the
Bandwidth versus Input Signal Amplitude graph of
Figure 7. One approach is to select an area of oper·
ation from the graph, and then adjust the input level
and value of C2 accordingly. Or, if the input ampli·
tude variation is known, the required foC2 product
can be found to give the desired bandwidth. Constant bandwidth operation requires Vi > 200 mV
rms. Then, as noted on the graph, bandwidth will be
controlled solely by the foC2 product.
When an in-band signal is present, the output transistor

volt (typically O.6V) at full rated current of 100 mAo If
large output voltage swings are needed, RL can be connected to a supply voltage, V +, higher than the VCC
supply. For safe operation, V + ,;; 20 volts.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
3. Capacitor C3 sets the band edge of the low-pass filter which attenuates frequencies outside of the de·
tection band and thereby eliminates spurious out·
puts. If C3 is too small, frequencies adjacent to the
detection band may switch the output stage off and
on at the beat frequency, or the output may pulse off
and on during the turn-on transient. A typical minimum value of C3 is 2 C2.
SELECTION OF EXTERNAL COMPONENTS
A typical connection diagram for the XR-567 is shown
in Figure 3. For most applications, the following procedure will be sufficient for determination of the external
components Rl, Cl, C2, and C3.

XR·567
Conversely, if C3 is too large, turn-on and turn-off of
the output stage will be delayed until the voltage
across C3 passes the threshold value.
losing information due to turn-on transient or output
chatter is about 10 cycles/bit, which corresponds to an
information transfer rate of fo/l0 baud.

. The XR-567 is a frequency selective tone decoder system based on the phase-locked loop (PLL) principle.
The system is comprised of a phase-locked loop, a
quadrature AM detector, a voltage comparator, and an
output logic driver. The four sections are internally interconnected as shown in Figure 1.
fo
In situations where minimum turn-off time is of less importance than fast turn-on, the optional sensitivity adjustment circuit of Figure 14 can be used to bring the
quiescent C3 voltage closer to the threshold voltage.
Sensitivity to beat frequencies, nOise, and extraneous
Signals, however, will .be increased.
When an input tone is present within the pass-band of
the circuit, the PLL synchronizes or "locks" on the input signal. The quadrature detector serves as a lock indicator: when the PLL is locked on an input signal, the
dc voltage at the output of the detector is shifted. This
dc level shift is then converted to an output logic pulse
by the amplifier and logic driver. The logic driver is a
"bare collector" transistor stage capable of switching
100 mA loads.

SENSITIVITY
The logic output at pin 8 is normally in a "high" state,
until a tone that is within the capture range of the decoder is present at the input. When the decoder is
locked on an input signal, the logic output at pin 8 goes
to a "low" state.

. The cenier frequency of the detector is set by the freerunning frequency of the current-controlled oscillator in
the PLL. This free-running frequency, fo, is determined
by the selection of Rl and Cl connected to pins 5 and
6, as shown in Figure 3. The detection bandwidth is determined by the size of the PLL filter capacitor, C2; and
the output response speed is controlled by the output
filter capacitor, C3.

CHATTER
When the value of C3 is small, the lock transient and ac
components at the lock detector output may cause the
output stage to move through its threshold more than
once, resulting in output chatter.
SPEED OF RESPONSE
Although some loads, such as lamps and relays will not
respond to chatter, logic may interpret chatter as a series of output signals_. Chatter can be eliminated by
feeding a portion of the output back to the input (pin 1)
or, by increasing the size of capaCitor C3- Generally, the
feedback method is preferred since keeping C3 small
will enable faster operation. Three alternate schemes
for chatter prevention are shown in Figure 15. Generally, it is only necessary to assure that the feedback
time constant does not get so large that it prevents operation at the highest antiCipated speed.
The minimum lock-up time is inversely related to the
loop frequency. As the natural loop frequency is lowered, the turn-on transient becomes greater. Thus maximum operating speed is obtained when the value of capacitor C2 is minimum. At the instant an input signal is
applied its phase may drive the oscillator away from the
incoming frequency rather than toward it. Under this
condition, the lock-up transient is in a worst case situation, and the minimum theoretical lock-up time will not
be achievable.
The following expressions yield the values of C2 and
C3, in microfarads, which allow the maximum operating
speeds for various center frequencies. The minimum

the detection band to either edge of the lock range, input signal variations will expand the detection band in

the duty cycle, this approach may be useful to obtain a

OUTPUT LATCHING
In order to latch the output of the XR-567 "on" after a

BANDWIDTH REDUCTION
The bandwidth of the XR-567 can be reduced by either

2. Operating the XR-S67 in a reduced bandwidth mode
of operation at input levels less than 200 mV rms
results in maximum immunity to noise and out-band
signals. Decreased loop damping, however, causes

by the graph of Figure 12.

3. Bandwidth variations due to changes in the in-band
signal amplitude can be eliminated by operating the
XR-S67 in the high input level mode, above 200 mV.
The input stage is then limiting, however, so that outband signals or high noise levels can cause an apparent bandwidth reduction as the in-band signal is
suppressed. In addition, the limited input stage will
create in-band components from subharmonic signals so that the circuit components from subhar·
monic signals so that the circuit becomes sensitive

demodulator when no carrier is present, thus acting as
a squelch. In the circuit shown, an XR-21S FM demodulator is used because of its wide dynamic range, high
signal/noise ratio and low distortion. The XR-S67 will
detect the presence of a carrier at frequencies up to
SOO kHz.
4. Care should be exercised in lead routing and lead
lengths should be kept as short as possible. Power
supply leads should be properly bypassed close to
the integrated circuit and grounding paths should be
carefuily determined to avoid ground loops and undesirable voltage variations. In addition, circuits requiring heavy load currents should be provided by a
separate power supply, or filter capacitors increased
to minimize supply voltage variations.
ADDITIDNAL APPLICATIONS
DUAL TIME CONSTANT TONE DECODER
For some applications it is important to have a tone decoder with narrow bandwidth and fast response time.
This can be accomplished by the dual time constant
tone decoder circuit shown in Figure 19. The circuit has
two low-pass loop filter capacitors, C2 and C' 2. With no
input signal present, the output at pin 8 is high, transistor 01 is off, and C' 2 is switched out of the circuit. Thus
the loop low-pass filter is comprised of C2,which can
be kept as small as possible for minimum response
time.
,OOK
DEMOOULATED
OUTPUT
When an in-band signal is detected, the output at pin 8
will go low, 01 will turn on, and capacitor C'2 will be
switched in parallel with capacitor C2. The low·pass filter capacitance will then be C2 + C' 2. The value of C' 2
can be quite large in order to achieve narrow bandwidth. Notice that during the time that no input signal is
being received, the bandwidth is determined by capacitor C2.
NARROW BAND FM DEMODULATOR WITH
CARRIER DETECT

is less than 10% of the carrier frequency, an XR-S67

other. Due to the internal biasing arrangement the
actual phase shift between the two outputs is typically 80°.
In dual tone communication systems, information is
transmitted by the simultaneous presence of two separate tones at the input. In such applications two XR-567
units can be connected in parallel, as shown in Figure
21 to form a dual tone decoder. The resistor and capacitor values of each decoder are selected to provide the
desired center frequencies and bandwidth requirements.

The oscillator output of the XR-567 can be amplified
using the output amplifier and high-current logic output available at pin 8. In this manner, the circuit can
switch 100 mA load currents without sacrificing oscillator stability. A recommended circuit connection
for this application is shown in Figure 23. The oscillator frequency can be modulated over ±6% in frequency by applying a control voltage to pin 2.

the quadrature detector functions as a frequency
doubler and produces an output of 2 fo at pin 8.

The XR-L567 is a micropower phase-locked loop (PLL)
circuit designed for general purpose tone and frequency decoding. In applications requiring very low power
dissipation, the XR-L567 can replace the popular 567type decoder with only minor component value
changes. The XR-L567 offers approximately 111 Oth the
power dissipation of the conventional 567-type tone decoder, without sacrificing its key features such as the
oscillator stability, frequency selectivity, and detection
threshold. Typical quiescent power dissipation is less
than 4 mW at 5 volts. It operates over a wide frequency
band of 0.01 Hz to 60 kHz and contains a logic compatible output which can sink up to 10 milliamps of load
current. The bandwidth, center frequency, and output
delay are independently determined by the selection of
four external components.

PRINCIPLES OF OPERATION
The XR-L567 is a frequency selective tone decoder system based on the phase-locked loop (PLL) principle.
The system is comprised of a phase-locked loop, a
quadrature am detector, a voltage comparator, and an
output logic driver.
When an input tone is present within the pass-band of
the circuit, the PLL synchronizes or "locks" on the input signal. The quadrature detector serves as a lock indicator: when the PLL is locked on an input signal, the
dc voltage at the output of the detector is shifted. This
dc level shift is then converted to an output logic pulse
by the amplifier and logic driver. The logic output at Pin
8 is an "open-collector" NPN transistor stage capable
of switching 10 mA current loads.
1-56
XR·L567
The logic output at Pin 8 is normally in a "high" state,
until a tone that is within the capture range of the decoder is present at the input. When the decoder is
locked on an input signal, the logic output at Pin 8 goes
to a "low" state.
Vee
RL
Figure 3 shows the typical output response of the circuit for a tone-burst applied to the input, within the detection band.
OUTPUT
The center frequency of the detector is set by the freerunning frequency of the current-controlled oscillator in
the PLL. This free-running frequency, fo, is determined
by the selection of R1 and C1 connected to Pins 5 and
6, as shown in Figure 2. The detection bandwidth is determined by the size of the PLL filter capacitor, C2 (see

by the output filter capacitor, C3.

DEFINITION OF DEVICE PARAMETERS
Largest Detection Bandwidth
Center Frequency to
The largest detection bandwidth is the largest frequency range within which an input signal above the threshold voltage will cause a logical zero stage at the output.
The maximum detection bandwidth corresponds to the
lock range of the PLL.
fo is the free-running frequency of the currentcontrolled oscillator with no input signal. It is determined by resistor R1 between Pins 5 and 6, and capacitor C1 from Pin 6 to ground. fo can be approximated by
Detection Band Skew
fo " _1_Hz
R1 C1
The detection band skew is a measure of how accurately the largest detection band is centered about the
center frequency, fo . This parameter is graphically iIIus·
trated in Figure 4. In the figure, fmin and f max correspond to the lower and the upper ends of the largest detection band, and fl corresponds to the apparent center of the detection band, and is defined as the
arithmetic average of fmin and f max and fo is the freerunning frequency of the XR-L567 oscillator section.
The bandwidth skew, Afx , is the difference between
these frequencies. Normalized to fo, this bandwidth
skew can be expressed as:
where Rl is in ohms and C1 is in farads.
Detection Bandwidth (BW)
The largest detection bandwidth is the frequency range
centered about fo, within which an input signal larger
than the threshold voltage (typically 20 mV rms) will
cause a logic zero state at the output. The detection
bandwidth corresponds to the capture range of the PLL
and is determined by the low-pass loop filter at Pin 2.
Typical dependence of detection bandwidth on the filter capacitance and the input signal amplitude is shown
in Figures 10 and 11, or may be calculated by the approximation

If the value of C3 becomes too large, the turn-on or

as a means of suppressing spurious outputs. Conversely, if the value of C3 is too small, the beat rate at

Logic Output (Pin 8)
OESCRIPTION OF CIRCUIT CONTROLS
Terminal 8 provides a binary logiC output when an input
signal is present within the pass-band of the decoder.
The logic output is an uncommitted, open-collector
power transistor capable of switching high current
loads. The current level at the output is determined by
an external load reSistor, RL, connected from Pin 8 to
the positive supply.
Input (Pin 3)
The input signal is applied to Pin 3 through a coupling
capacitor. This terminal is internally biased at a dc level
2 volts above ground, and has an input impedance level
of approximately 100 kO.
Timing Resistor R1 and Capacitor C1 (Pins 5 and 6)
When an in-band signal is present the output transistor
at Pin 8 saturates with a collector voltage of less than
0.6V at full rated output current of 10 mAo If large output voltage swings are needed, RL can be connected to
a supply voltage, V +, higher than the Vee supply. For
safe operation, V + ::s 15 volts.
The center frequency of the decoder is set by resistor
R1 between Pins 5 and 6, and capacitor C1 from Pin 6
to ground, as shown in Figure 2.
Pin 5 is the oscillator squarewave output which has a
magnitude of approximately VCC - 1.4V and an average dc level of VCcJ2. A 5 kO load may be driven from
this point. The voltage at Pin 6 is an exponential triangle
waveform with a peak-to-peak amplitude of .. (Vee 1.3}/3.5 volts and an average dc level of VCcJ2. Only
high impedance loads should be connected to Pin 6 to
avoid disturbing the temperature stability or duty cycle
of the oscillator.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Selection of External Components
A typical connection diagram for the XR-L567 is shown
in Figure 2. For most applications, the following procedure will be sufficient for determination of the external
components R1, C1, C2, and C3·
1. R1 and C1 should be selected for the desired center
frequency by the expression fo .. lIR1C1. For optimum temperature stability, R1 should be selected
such that 20 kO ::s R1 ::s 200 kO, and the R1C1 product should have sufficient stability over the projected operating temperature range.
Loop Fllter-C2 (Pin 2)
Capacitor C2 connected from Pin 2 to ground serves as
a single pole, low-pass filter for the PLL portion of the
XR-L567. The filter time constant is given by T2 =
R2C2, where R2 (100 kO) is the impedance at Pin 2.
2. Low-pass capacitor, C2, can be determined from the
Bandwidth versus Input Signal Amplitude graph of
Figure 10. One approach is to select an area of operation from the graph, and then adjust the Input level and value of C2 accordingly. Or, if the input amplitude variation is known, the required fo C2 product
can be found to give the desired bandwidth. Constant bandwidth operation requires Vi > 200 mV
rms. Then, as noted on the graph, bandwidth will be
controlled solely by the f oC2 product.
The selection of C2 is determined by the detection
bandwidth requirements, as shown in Figure 10. For
additional information see section on "Definition of Device Parameters."
The voltage at Pin 2, the phase detector output, is a linear function of frequency over the range of 0.95 fo to
1.05 fo, with a slope of approximately 20 mV/% frequency deviation.
Output Fllter-C3 (Pin 1)
3. Capacitor C3 sets the band edge of the low-pass filter which attenuates frequencies outside of the detection band and thereby eliminates spurious outputs. If C3 is too small, frequencies adjacent to the
Capacitor C3 connected from Pin 1 to ground forms a
simple low-pass post detection filter to eliminate spurious outputs due to out-of-band signals. The time con-

time will not be achievable.
detection band may switch the output stage off and
on at the beat frequency, or the output may pulse off
and on during the turn-on transient. A typical minimum value for C3 is 2 C2.
The following expressions yield the values of C2 and
C3, in microfarads, which allow the maximum operating
speeds for various center frequencies where fo is Hz.
Conversely, if C3 is too large, turn-on and turn-off of
the output stage will be delayed until the voltage
across C3 passes the threshold value.
C2 = ~, C3 = 26 /LF

Precautions
1. The XR-L567 will lock on signals near (2n + 1) fo
and produce an output for signals near (4n + 1) fo ,
for n = 0,1 ,2-etc. Signals at 5 fo and 9 fo can
cause an unwanted output and should, therefore, be
attenuated before reaching the input of the circuit.
The minimum rate that digital information may be detected without losing Information due to turn-on transient or output chatter is about 10 cycleslbit, which corresponds to an information transfer rate of fo/10 baud.
In situations where minimum turn-off is of less importance than fast turn-on, the optional sensitivity adjustment circuit of Figure 5 can be used to bring the quiescent C3 voltage closer to the threshold voltage. Sensitivity to beat frequencies, noise, and extraneous
signals, however, will be increased.
2. Operating the XR-L567 in a reduced bandwidth
mode of operation at input levels less than 200 mV
rms results in maximum immunity to noise and outband signals. Decreased loop damping, however,
causes the worst-case lock-up time to increase, as
shown by the graph of Figure 13.
+V
~JR
3. Bandwidth variations due to changes in the in-band
signal amplitude can be eliminated by operating the
XR-L567 in the high input level mode, above 200 mV.
The input stage is then limiting, however, so that outband signals or high noise levels can cause an apparent bandwidth reduction as the in-band signal is
suppressed. In addition, the limited input stage will
create in-band components from subharmonic signals so that the circuit becomes sensitive to signals
at fo/3, fo/5 etc.

4. Care should be exercised in lead routing and lead
lengths should be kept as short as possible. Power
supply leads should be properly bypassed close to
the integrated circuit and grounding paths should be
carefully determined to avoid ground loops and undesirable voltage variations. In addition, circuits requiring heavy load currents should be provided by a
separate power supply, or filter capacitors increased
to minimize supply voltage variations.

Chatter
Programming
When the value of C3 is small, the lock transient and ac
components at the lock detector output may cause the
output stage to move through its threshold more than
once, resulting in output chatter.
Varying the value of resistor Rl and/or capacitor Cl will
change the center frequency. The value of R1 can be
changed either mechanically or by solid state switches.
Additional Cl capacitors can be added by grounding
them through saturated npn trallsistors.
Although some loads, such as lamps and relays will not
respond to chatter, logic may interpret chatter as a series of output signals. Chatter can be eliminated by
feeding a portion of the output back to the input (Pin 1)
or, by increasing the size of capacitor C3. Generally, the
feedback method is preferred since keeping C3 small
will enable faster operation. Three alternate schemes
for chatter prevention are shown in Figure 6. Generally,
it is only necessary to assure that the feedback time
constant does not get so large that it prevents operation at the highest anticipated speed.
Speed of Response
The minimum lock-up time is inversely related to the
loop frequency. As the natural loop frequency is lowered, the turn-on transients becomes greater. Thus
maximum operating speed is obtained when the value
of capacitor C2 is minimum. At the instant an input signal is applied, its phase may drive the oscillator away
from the incoming frequency rather than toward it. Un-

XR·2567
Dual Monolithic Tone Decoder
FUNCTIONAL BLOCK OIAGRAM
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The XR-2567 is a dual monolithic tone decoder of the
567-typethat is ideally suited for tone or frequency de·
coding in multiple-tone communication systems. Each
decoder of the XR-2567 can be used independently or
both sections can be interconnected for dual operation. The matching and temperature tracking characteristics between decoders on this monolithic chip are
superior to those available from two separate tone decoder packages.
The XR-2567 operates over a frequency range of 0.01
Hz to 500 kHz. Supply voltages can vary from 4.5V to
12V, with internal voltage regulation provided for supplies between 7V and 12V. Each decoder consists of a
phase-locked loop (PLL), a quadrature AM detector, a
voltage comparator, and a logic compatible output that
can sink more than 100 mA of load current
Operating Temperature
XR·2567M

Storage Temperature
The center frequency of each decoder is set by an ex·
ternal resistor and capacitor which determine the freerunning frequency of each PLL When an input tone is
present within the passband of the circuit, the PLL
"locks" on the input signal. The logic output, which is
normally "high", then switches to a "low" state during
this "lock" condition.

SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
The XR-2567 dual monolithic tone decoder consists of
two independant 567-type circuits and an on board voltage regulator. Each decoder has a phase detector, low
pass filter, and current controlled oscillator which comprise the basic phase locked loop, plus an additional
low pass filter and quadrature detector enabling detection of in-band signals. Both devices have normally high
open collector outputs capable of sinking 100 mA.

The input signal is applied to Pin 14 (device A) or Pin 11
(device B), both with 20 kO nominal input resistance.
Free running frequency is controlled by an RC network
at Pins 1 and 16 (device A) or Pins 8 and 9 (device B). A
capaCitor on Pin 2 (A), or Pin 7 (B) serves as the output
filter and eliminates out-of-band triggering. PLL filtering
is accomplished with a capaCitor on Pin 15 (A), or Pin
10 (B); bandwidth and skew are also dependant upon
the circuitry here. Bandwidth is adjustable from 0% to
14% of the center frequency. Pin 13 is + VCC (4.75 to
12V nominal, 14V maximum); Pin 7 is ground; and Pin 3
(A) or Pin 6 (B) is the open collector output, pulling low
when an in-band signal triggers the device.

bandwidth will be controlled solely by the foC2 product.
(For additional information, see Optional Controls Section, "Speed of Response" and "Bandwidth Reduction".)
When an in-band signal is present, the output transistor
at Pins 3 or 6 saturates with a collector voltage less
than 1 volt (typically 0.6V) at full rated current of 100
mA. If large output voltage swings are needed, RL can
be connected to a supply voltage, V + higher than the
Vee supply. For safe operation, V + :s 15 volts.
REGULATOR BY-PASS (Pin 12)
This pin corresponds to the output of the voltage regulator section. For circuit operation with a supply voltage
greater than 7V, Pin 12 should be ac grounded with a
bypass capacitor ;:: 1 /LF. For circuit operation over a
supply voltage range of 4.5 to 7V, the voltage regulator
section is not required; Pin 12 should be shorted to
VCC·
GROUND TERMINALS (Pins 4 and 5)
Pins 10 and 15 correspond to the PLL phase detector
outputs of sections A and B, respectively. The voltage
level at these pins is a linear function of frequency over
the range of 0.95 to 1.05 fo, with a slope of approximately 20 mV/% frequency deviation.
To eliminate parasitic interaction, each decoder section
has a separate ground terminal. The internal regulator shares a common ground with decoder section A
(Pin 4).
OUTPUT FILTER, C3 (Pins 2 and 7)
Independent ground terminals also allow additional
flexibility for split supply operation. Pin 4 can be used as
V - , and Pin 5 as ground, as shown in Figure 16. When
the circuit is operated with split supplies, the positive
supply should always be > 6V, and the dc potential
across Pins 13 and 14 should not exceed 15 volts.
Capacitors CSA and CSB connected from Pins 2 and 7
to ground form low-pass post detection filters for sections A and B respectively. The function of the post detection filter is to eliminate spurious outputs caused by
out-of-band signals. The time constant of the filter can
be expressed as T3 = R3C3, where R3 (4.7 k) is the internal impedance at Pins 2 or 7.
v'
The precise value of C3 is not critical for most applications. To eliminate the possibility of false triggering by
spurious Signals, a minimum value for C3 is 2C2, where
C2 is the loop filter capaCitance for the corresponding
decoder section. If C3 is smaller than 2C2, then frequencies adjacent to the detection band may switch
the output stage "off" and "on" at the beat frequency,
or the output may pulse "off" and "on" during the turnon transient.

If the value of C3 becomes too large, the turn-on or
turn-off time of the output stage will be delayed until the
voltage change across C3 reaches the threshold voltage. In certain applications, this delay may be desirable
as a means of suppressing spurious outputs. (For additional information, see Optional Controls Section,
"Speed of Response" and "Chatter".)

The minimum lock-up time is inversely related to the
loop frequency. As the natural loop frequency is lowered, the turn-on transient becomes greater. Thus, maximum operating speed is obtained when the value of capacitor C2 is minimum. At the instant an input signal is
applied, its phase may drive the oscillator away from
the incoming frequency rather than toward it. Under
this condition, the lock-up transient is in a worst case
situation, and the minimum theoretical lock-up time will
not be achievable.

Figure 18. Methods of Reducing Chatter

The following expressions yield the values of C2 and
C3, in microfarads, which allow the maximum operating
speeds for various center frequencies. The minimum
rate that digital information may be detected without
losing information due to turn-on transient or output
chatter is about 10 cycles/bit, which corresponds to an
information transfer rate of fo/l 0 baud.
The circuits shown in Figure 19 can be used to change
the pOSition of the detection band (capture range) within the largest detection band (or lock range). By moving
the detection band to either edge of the lock range, input signal variations will expand the detection band in
one direction only. Since R3 also has a slight effect on
the duty cycle, this approach may be useful to obtain a
precise duty cycle when the circuit is used as an oscillator.

In situations where minimum turn-off time is of less importance than fast turn-on, the optional sensitivity adjustment circuit of Figure 17 can be used to bring the
quiescent C3 voltage closer to the threshold voltage.
Sensitivity to beat frequencies, noise, and extraneous
signals, however, will be increased.

OUTPUT LATCHING
After a signal is received, the output of either decoder
section can be latched "on" by connecting Ii. 20 kD resistor and diode from the "output" terminal to the "output filter" terminal as shown in Figure 20. The output
stage can be unlatched by raising the voltage level at
the output filter terminal.

When the value of C3 is small, the lock transient and ac

once, resulting in output chatter.
''".
Although some loads, such as lamps and relays will not
respond to chatter, "logic" may interpret chatter as a
series of output signals. Chatter can be eliminated by
feeding a portion of the output back to the input or, by
increasing the size of capacitor C3. Generally, the feedback method is preferred since keeping C3 small will
enable faster operation. Three alternate schemes for
chatter prevention are shown in Figure 18. Generally, it
is only necessary to assure that the feedback time constant does not get so large that it prevents operation at
the highest anticipated speed.

In most dual-tone detection systems, the decoder out·
put is required to change state only when both input
tones are present simultaneously. This can be implemented by setting the detection bandwidth of each of
the XR-2567 decoder sections to cover one of the input
tones; and then connecting the respective outputs
through a NOR gate, as shown in Figure 23. In this
case, the output of the NOR gate will be "high" only
when both input tones are present simultaneously.

The two sections can be interconnected to form a sin·

equal to the sum or the difference of the detection
bands for the two individual detector sections. For example, if the individual decoder sections are interconnected as shown in Figure 25, then the total detection
bandwidth would be approximately equal to the sum of
the respective bandwidths as shown in Figure 21(b).
Similarly, if the decoders are interconnected as shown

Figure 22 shows the proper method of reducing the

would be "low". Thus, the output at Pin 6 is "low" only

SEQUENTIAL TDNE DECDDING
when input tones within the detection-band of A and B
are present simultaneously.
The dual-tone decoder circuit of Figure 24(b) makes
use of the split-ground feature of the XR-2567. The output terminal of Unit A is used as a "switch" in series
with the ground terminal (Pin 5) of Unit B. If the input
tone A is not present, Pin 3 is at its high-impedance
state, and the ground terminal of Unit B is opencircuited. When the input tone A is present, Pin 3 goes
to a low-impedance state and Unit B is activated. In this
manner, the output of Unit B will be "low" only when
both tones A and B are present.
Dual-tone decoder circuits can also be used for sequentialtone decoding where one tone must be present
before the other for the circuit to operate. This can be
achieved by making the output filter capacitance, C3,
of one of the sections large with respect to the other.
For example, in the circuits of Figures 24(a) and 24(b), if
C3A is chosen to be much larger than C3B (C3A ~
C3B), then Unit A will remain "on" and activate B for a
finite time duration after tone A is terminated. Thus, the
circuit will be able to detect the two tones only if they
are present sequentially, with tone A preceding tone B.
In the circuit connection of Figure 24(b), Unit B does
not draw any current until it is activated. Therefore, its
power dissipation in a stand-by condition is lower than
other dual-tone decoder configurations. However, due
to finite series resistance between Pin 3 and ground
when Unit B is activated, the output current sink capability is limited to ::; 10 mAo
The circuit of Figure 24(a) can also be modified for sequential tone decoding by addition of a diode, D2, between pins 3 and 6. Once activated by Unit A, Unit B
will stay "on" as long as tone B is present, even though
tone A may terminate. Once tone B disappears, the circuit is reset to its original state and would require tone
A to be present for activation.

Units A and B (see Figure 21(c)). The output of the NOR

To maintain uniform response within the pass-band, the
input Signal amplitude should be O!!: 80 mV rms. For

Figure 25 is a circuit configuration for increasing the

respective bandwidths of individual decoder sections. If
the detection bands of each section are located adjacent to each other as shown in Figure 21(b), and if the
two outputs (pins 3 and 6) are shorted together, then
the resulting bandwidth is the sum of individual bandwidths. In this manner, the total detection bandwidth
can be increased to 24 % of center frequency. To maintain uniform response throughout the pass band, the input signal level should be 0!!:80 mV, rms, and the respective pass-bands of each section should have
"" 3 % overlap at center frequency.

The oscillator section of Unit B will be keyed "off" when
the keying logic level at pin 8 is at a "low" state.

The oscillator output of each section of XR-2567 can be

of 66 dB, output swings of 4.5 Vp-p, and a slew rate of
2V/p.s. This pin-out allows flexible signal processing capabilities: for example, an input low pass filter for eliminating aliasing is easily achieved.
OPERATING PRINCIPLES
The XR-2103 contains all the filtering and multiplexing
functions necessary for a Bell 103 type (300 baud) FSK
modem. A complete modem requires only the XR-2103,
the XR-14412, and telephone line interfacing hardware.
A description of the main functional blocks follows.
Auto-Zeroing Limiter: An automatic offset zeroing comparator (limiter) compensates for errors caused by system offset voltages and currents, and converts the received carrier into an accurate 50% duty cycle waveform. The resultant square wave on Pin 16 is at digital
logic levels and can interface directly with the modulator/demodulator circuit.
Bandpass Filtering: Two six pole, 500 Hz bandwidth
switched capacitor filters, designed for Bell 103 standard center frequencies of 1170 Hz (low band) and
2125 Hz (high band), constitute the main portion of the
device. Both filters feature +4 dB passband gain,
50 dB dynamic range, and more than 40 dB opposite
band rejection. Filter response curves are depicted in
Figure 3. On board multiplexing allows using these filters for both transmitting and receiving. Active low pass
filters reconstruct the time sampled output signals,
characteristic of switched capacitor filters, and attenuate the unwanted energy above 15 kHz.
Carrier Detector: An on board carrier detection circuit
simplifies total system interfacting. Carrier detect output (Pin 18) pulls low when a suitable signal is received.
With 14 dB of gain in the receiver preamplifier, the
threshold level is - 48 dBm and has 4 dB of hysteresis.
Turn on/off delay time is externally programmable by a
capaCitor from Pin 19 to ground. A 0.1 p.F unit yields
100 ms; delay is directly proportional to capacitance.
Duplexer: An operational amplifier is employed as an
active two to four wire converter (duplexer). The two
phone wires are "split" into transmit and receive components for proper processing; the transmit output
from Pin 8 is applied to the lines through a resistor and
the received signal is drawn from the line and routed into a preamplifier. Transmit energy appears as a common mode signal, hence does not appear on the duplexer output. The received signal, meanwhile, is amplified by two. Isolation is maximized when the transmit
injection resistor (between Pins 6 and 8) is equal in
magnitude to the phone line impedance (600 Il nominal). Transmit signal levels are typically - 9 dBm. Received signals can vary over a 50 dB dynamic range.
Clocking: Filter frequency accuracy is directly related to
the clock frequency. The device operates within specifications with a 1 MHz clock, provided by either a 1 MHz
or 4 MHz crystal (divided down internally) or by sharing
the 1 MHz clock signal from the XR-14412. The device
will operate at other clock frequencies, but the filter
center frequencies will differ. The crystal and a parallel
10 Mil resistor are attached between Pins 11 and 12.
The crystal should be series resonant with a shunt capacitance less than 9 pF. Pin 13, when high, divides the
input frequency by 4; when low, the internal prescaler
is bypassed. Pin 10 is the clock output for interconnection with other devices.
Received Carrier Amplifier: An operational amplifier, with
its inverting input on Pin 20 and output on Pin 3, serves
as a received carrier amplifier. Duplexer output (Pin 7)
is routed to Pin 20 through a 100 kll or larger resistor.
Gain, typically 5 (14 dB), equals the ratio of the feedback resistor (Pin 3 to Pin 20) to the input resistor (Pin 7
to Pin 20)Jhe non-inverting input is internally biased to
Self Test: An on board self test diagnostic activates an
analog loop-back mode: the transmit carrier is routed
through the proper filter and back through the receive
carrier preamplifier and filters, allowing performance
verification of all systems.

limiter and carrier detect circuit. Carrier detect output
(Pin 18) pulls low after a 100 ms delay, controlled by the
0.1 /-IF capacitor on the CCD pin (Pin 19). The limiter circuit compensates for circuit imperfections (offset voltages, etc.), and outputs a 50% duty cycle waveform to
the demodulator input (Pin 1) of the XR-14412. The demodulated data appears on Pin 7 of the XR-14412.
The Bell 103 compatible modem of Figure 4 consists of
the XR-2103 FSK modem filter and the XR-14412 FSK
modulator/demodulator. Designed for full duplex 300
baud operation, the circuit requires only telephone line
and computer interfacing. The entire system uses a
single 5V supply, and performs both answer and originate functions. Answer/Originate selection is controlled
by the mode input; low inputs select answer, high selects originate.
Transmit data is applied to the modulator input (Pin 11)
of the XR-14412. Depending on mode, originate or answer, the data modulates either the high or low band.
The modulated signal exits Pin 9 and is applied to the
transmit multiplexer input (Pin 5) of the XR-21 03; is filtered, reconstructed, and sent into the duplexer and
the phone line.
The telephone line is connected via an isolation transformer to the duplexer input (Pin 6) of the XR-2103. A
resistor, equal to the line resistance, attaches from Pin
6 to the transmit output (Pin 8) and couples the transmit
signal to the line. The received signal is removed from
the line via the duplexer (also called a "two to four wire
converter" or "hybrid"). Duplexer output is coupled
through the receive carrier preamplifier into the multiplexer, where the proper band pass filter is selected.
Transmit energy is seen as a common mode signal and
does not appear on the duplexer output.
One shared time base is employed: here, the oscillator
of the XR-2103 serves both devices. Buffered output is
routed from Pin 10 of the XR-2103 into Pin 4 of the
XR-14412. With a 1 MHz crystal; the oscillator divide by
four prescaler is bypassed-Pin 13 is held low. With
Pin 13 high, a 4 MHz crystal is used.
If the system is in the originate mode (mode pin pulled
high), the received signal passes through the low band,
filter. Then, the sampled signal is reconstructed by an
on board RC active low pass filter and is fed into the
This circuit requires no adjustments. With suitable telephone line coupling and data system interfacing, this
modem realizes its goals of high performance and reliability at low cost.

The XR-2120 is comprised of four main signal blocks:
The digitally programmable gain amplifier, an input antialiasing switched capacitor filter, switched capacitor
bandpass filters at 1200 Hz and 2400 Hz, and output
RC active filters. These sections serve to: (1) Amplify
and condition incoming signals, (2) remove noise which
can cause aliasing problems in the bandpass filters, (3)
provide very precise bandpass filtering and phase compensation, and (4) perform output reconstruction and
filtering. To perform these necessary filtering and phase
compensation functioris, a total of 48 poles are used in
the XR-2120.

gle noise pole RC filter at 30 kHz is usually sufficient for
filtering input noise. The third signal block is the main
bandpass filtering .section at 1200 Hz or 2400 Hz, depending on the mode selected. The last section is the
output smoothing filter; a two-pole RC active filter used
to reconstruct the Signal from its sampled data form.
PRINCIPLES OF OPERATION
Figure 1 shows the typical connection for the XR-2120
in a split supply configuration. In this mode, Pins 4, 10,
and 13, are simply tied to ground. For Single supply operation, Pins 10 and 13 internally bias to half supply and
should be externally bypassed with 2.2 ,..F capacitors.
Pin 4 does not internally dc bias, however, Pin 10 or 13
can provide it with a half supply bias point. In this ~on
nection, a 10 kD resistor should be used between Pin 4,
and Pin 10 or 13, with Pin 4 bypassed with a 2.2,..F capacitor.
The mode input pin is used to direct the transmit and receive signals to the appropriate filter section. Figure 4
shows mode selection logic convention.

This filtered signal is then applied to Pin 3 (RXS). The
phase-locked loop is synchronized by the signal available from Pin 13 (4CR). Synchronization is maintained
by generating a sync pulse from the phase-locked loop
and applying it to Pin 26 (SYN). RBA, Pin 4, provides the
output from the receiver's synchronizer. This output
command the phase shift detector to start a single
measuring cycle.
RTE (Pin 18) controls the baud rate of the modem.
When RTE is LO the transmission rate is 1200 bls, and
when RTE is HI, the transmission rate is 2400 b/s. ANS
(Pin 16) controls the answering tone (2100 Hz) to the
transmission line. When ANS is LO and V22 is HI, the
answering tone (2100 Hz) is connected to the transmission line.
Coherent demodulation techniques are used in the receiver section. The reference frequency used to detect
phase shifts in the carrier from the transmission line is
generated in an internal phase locked loop. In the case
of a 1200 bitlsec application, the reference frequency
is synchronized to the line carrier.
BAC (Pin 25) is the time base input which is 512 times
the normal receiver baud timing. In the case of a 1200
bls, full duplex modem, BAC = 307.2 kHz or MOC/15
TXC (Pin 21) is the transmitter bit timing input. It may be
tied directly to TIG (Pin 22) which is the transmitter timming set by RTE.
In applications requiring 2400 bitslsec and upwards,
the reference frequency is five (5) times the carrier.
This permits phase detection at much higher rates.
RTE HI TIG = BAC/256
RTE LO TIG = BAC/512
This phase shift detector subtracts the carrier from the
reference. The difference sets a "window" in which
standard pulses are counted. The following table shows
the correlation between angles and counts:
Of course external timing signals may be applied for
nonstandard uses.
TLV (Pin 11) sets the transmitter amplitude by using a
resistive divider between + 5V and ground. This signal
may be set between 1.0V and 5V. TRM (Pin 9) signals
that the modem is in the transmit mode. When TRM is
HI, the unit is transmitting, When TRM is LO, the unit is
not transmitting. The relationship between the voltage
at TLV and the amplitude of TXS is shown in the Electrical Characteristics.

The counting results should be identical to the table. If
not, the reference is either ahead or behind the ideal
phase. This information is decoded and the phase
locked loop is either accelerated or decelerated.
The data to be modulated and transmitted is applied at
TDA (Pin 17). The modulated signal is output at TXS (Pin
10).
DEMODULATION
Once demodulation has been accomplished, the data is
available at Pin 5 (RXD). The data at RXD is changed to
"1" when Pin 28 (LSD) is "0" or Pin 27 (NSY) is "1".
LSD is a line signal detector which tells the system that
there is a signal present. The 1.8 kHz filter is applied to
a level detection circuit, which consists of a comparator. NSY is a "new synchronizer" input. When it is "1 ",
data is disabled; when "0", date is enabled. However,
on the transition from "1" to "0", the receiver clock,
Pin 24 (RXC), immediately synchronizes with the SYN
signal during the next symbol interval. RXC provides the
user with bit rate timing (baud timing) for synchronized
transmission to the receiving terminal. The following table represents the above discussion.
There are two types of incoming signal processing
which will be discussed. The first concerns full duplex
reception. In this case, using the Bell 212A as our example, the received signal will be centered on 1200 Hz.
The signal is passed through a 1200 Hz filter and applied to a peak detection circuit. This signal is then
passed through an amplification stage and applied to
Pin 3 (RXS). After the amplifier stage, the signal is simultaneously applied to a sync-generating circuit and
passed to Pin 26 (SYN). The output of the peak detector
is also applied to a level detector and provides the input
for Pin 28 (LSD) and Pin 27 (NSY).

The second type of modem to discuss is a half-duplex
system. Speeds of up to 3200 bls are available for use
on leased lines. The received signal is coupled through
the line interface to a 1.8 kHz filter. The signal is then
sent to a peak-detector circuit and is then applied to a
narrow band filter. The signal is then applied to a syn-

GENERAL DESCRIPTION
FUNCTIONAL BLOCK DIAGRAM
The XR-2125 is a logic circuit designed to perform the
data buffer function for Bell 212A Type Modem Systems. Both asynchronous to synchronous and synchronous to asynchronous conversion are performed at
nominal data rates of 1200 bits per second. The XR2125 is selectable for character lengths of 9 or 10 bits.
Separate enable/disable inputs are supplied for async
to sync and sync to async converter sections. These inputs allow the same data lines to be used for asynchronous or synchronous operation.

The receive data buffer section (sync to async) accepts
input sync data (typically from the modem demodulator) at 1200 BPS and converts it to a 1219 BPS async
data format. The transmit data buffer (async to sync)
accepts input async format data with a data rate of
1200 BPS ± 1 %, - 2.5 % and it is synchronized to
1200 BPS, which is typically sent to the modem modulator. This section also provides break signal automatic
extension.

SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
FEATURES
The XR-2125 provides the complete interface between
synchronous and character - asynchronous data systems. The synchronous side consists of two data lines
TXD and RXD, each with their respective clocks, TXC
and RCX. The synchronous portion is designed for data
rates of 1200 ± .01 % BPS. The asynchronous side
handles data oriented in characters where the actual
data bits are bracketed by a start and stop bit. Character lengths are 9 or 10 bit (7 or 8 data bits), pin selectable.

SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
The XR-1488 and XR-1489A are a matched set of quad
line drivers and line receivers designed for interfacing
between TIUDTL and RS232C data communication
lines.
The XR-1488 contains four independent split supply line
drivers, each with a ± 10 mA current limited output. For
RS232C applications, the slew rate can be reduced to
the 30 V/p.S limit by shunting the output to ground with a
410 pF capacitor. The XR-1489A contains four independent line receivers, designed for interfacing RS232C to
TIUDTL. Each receiver features independently programmable switching thresholds with hysteresis, and
input protection to ± 30 V. The output can typically
source 3 mA and sink 20 mA.

XR·2247/2247A
Floppy Disk Write Amplifier
FUNCTIONAL BLOCK DIAGRAM
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The XR-224 7/224 7A is a write amplifier designed to provide the complete interface between write data signals
and tunnel-erase magnetic heads. Although primarily
intended for floppy disk drive systems, the XR-2247/
2247A can also be used in other magnetic media systems such as tape drives. To minimize external part
count for dual head systems, complete head switching
is does internally with emitter-coupled PNP transistors
in the XR-2247 and diodes (which offer improved broadband noise characteristics) In the XR-2247A. Write and
erase currents are each externally programmable with
a single resistor. Also included is circuitry for inner
track write current compensation. To prevent false
write current outputs during power-on, an inhibit input
has been provided. Erase turn-on and turn-off times are
each externally programmable.

SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
The XR-2247/2247A accepts a serial binary data
stream input. With the write mode selected, negative
transitions of this input signal will alternately provide
write current to each half of the head. The XR-2247/
2247A provides two sets of current outputs for dual
head drives, with the head select (HS) control determining which is active. The write current is externally programmed with a resistor between the internal voltage
reference and the current setting input. Two highcurrent open-collector outputs provide the erase coil
drive. Turn-on and turn-off delay circuitry is provided for
these outputs, with the delay externally programmed.

PRINCIPLES OF OPERATION
Erase 0 - EO (Pin 10), Erase 1 - El (Pin 12): These pins
provide high-current open-collector outputs for supplying erase current to the head. With R/W low, the erase
output selected by HS will be low with the other open.
With R/W high, both EO and E1 will be open or high Impedance outputs.
The functions of the input and output pins are as follows:
Head Select - HS (Pin 9): The head select input makes a
selection between head 0 and head 1. It channels the
proper drive signals to the CT and E pins.
AD (Pin 16), 80 (Pin 15): These pins provide the write current to the head. AO is connected to one side of the
head, with BO connected to the other. They provide outof-phase drive to each end of the head write coil. These
outputs are selected when HS is low.
Read/Write - R/W (Pin 5): This input selects read data
when high, and write data when low_
Write Data - WO (Pin 21): Digital data to be written to the
head is fed into this pin_ Data is alternately written to
AO, BO or A1, B1 on negative transitions of WD_
Al (Pin 20),81 (Pin 19): These outputs provide the same
current-sink drive as AO/BO, except to the other head
when HS is high.
IRW Select - IRWS (Pin 14): This pin is used to provide a
digital control for the amount of current written to the
head_ It is used to provide inner track compensation_
When low, the head current is that dictated, by RrefWhen driven high, the head current is increased by
RA (Pin 18), R8 (Pin 17): These are read Signal outputs.!2.
be connected to the read amplifier inputs. With R/W
high, the head selected by HS will be connected to
these pins.
40%_
Inhibit - INH (Pin 3): When active (low), this input will turn
off both erase and center taps to avoid erroneous outputs during power-on.
Vrel (Pin 4), Irel (Pin 13): A resistor, Rref, connected between these pins control the write current. With IRWS
low, the write current is approximately five times the
Rref current, and seven times with IRWS high.
TO ON (Pin 6), TO OFF (Pin 7): The resistor, RD, and capacitor, CD, combination of these pins will set the turnon and turn-off times of the erase outputs. Figure 5
shows the connection of these components, with section 3 of the applications information describing the
time as a function of RD and CD.
Center Tap 0 - CTO (Pin 2), Center Tap 1 - CTl (Pin 22):
These pins are high-current outputs used to apply VCC
to the center taps of the head. With R/W low, both CT
outputs are in the high state.

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
Control of the erase outputs can also be done from
an external source by grounding Pin 6 and driving
Pin 7 directly. The selected erase output will be on
when Pin 7 is low and off when Pin 7 is high. This input is not TIL compatible, however, with the threshold voltage being approximately 2f3 Vee.
A typical dual head connection of the XR-2247 in a floppy disk system is shown In Figure 5. Referring to Figure
5 and the electrical characteristics, the external components are calculated as follows:
1) Write Current, IWR
IWR = (5.3) (Vref - Vmir)
Rref
4) Resistors RWO are used to damp any ringing that
may occur when the write current transitions are applied to the head. Their value is determined by the
head characteristics and the desired damping.
IRWS = Low
Given IWR = 4.1 mA, Rref = 10 kO
Iref' the current into Pin 13, should not exceed 2.0
mA.
RRO is used to provide additional damping in the
read mode if this is desired. Usually, RRO is only
used with the XR-2247A where the head switching
diodes make the total read damping resistance approximately RROIIRWO. In the XR·2247, the transistors used for head switching act to buffer RRO from
the head.
2) Erase Current, IE
Vee - 2V
RE
Resistors RS are used to bias the head switching
network in the read mode and their value is selected
to provide currents in the 100 ",A to 300 ",A range.
Given IE = 50 mA and Vee = 12V, RE = 2000 Y2 W
3) Erase Delay Time, TO ON and TO OFF
5) When in the read mode, digital signals appearing
along the WO line (Pin 21) can couple externally
through stray capacitances into the read si~
coming from the head. It is recommended that WO
be held low while reading.

The amplifier stage will typically amplify the read back
signal by a factor of 110. In order to eliminate any offset
between the amplifier stages, a capacitor, Cl, should
be inserted between Pins 3 and 4. If the input signal to
the amplifier is to be above 25 mY, clamping of the amplifier may occur. To reduce the gain, a resistor Rx may
be inserted in series with Cl between Pins 3 and 4. The

The amplified filtered read back signal is fed into the active differentiator. Here, the peaks of the read back signal are transformed into zero crossings as shown by

The differentiator inputs are dc biased internally. This
implies that the dc level from the amplifier stage must
be blocked in order riot to disturb these levels. Therefore blocking capacitors, Cbl and Cb2, should be
placed before the differentiator inputs. In order to keep
the transient response to a minimum it Is best to place
the dc blocking capacitors before the filter network.

The differentiated output signals from the active differentiator are run into a comparator. Since the outputs of

Fundamentals of
Ie Timers
ONE-SHOT OR SINGLE-CYCLE TIMERS
Monolithic timing circuits or timers find a wide variety
of applications in both linear and digital signal processing. In a large number of industrial control or test sequencing applications, these circuits provide direct and
economical replacement for mechanical or electromechanical timing devices.
One-shot or single-cycle timers operate by charging a
timing capacitor through an external resistor or a current source. The simplest form of the one-shot type timer is the "exponential-ramp generator" circuit shown in
Figure 1. Normally all the components except the Rand
the C shown in the Figure are internal to the IC, and the
switch 81 is a grounded-emitter NPN transistor included in the IC chip.
Monolithic timers generate precise timing pulses, or
time delays whose length or repetition rate is determined by an external timing resistor, R, and a timing capacitor, C. The timing interval is proportional to the external (RC) product, and can be varied from microseconds to minutes, days or months, by the choice of
the external Rand C. Integrated circuit timers can be
classified into two categories, based on their principle
of operation:
The operation of the circuit can be briefly explained
as follows: In the rest, or reset condition, the switch 81
is closed; and the voltage across the capacitor is
clamped to ground. The timing cycle is initiated by
applying an external trigger pulse to "set" the flip-flop
and to open the switch 81 across the timing capacitor.
The voltage across the capacitor rises exponentially toward the supply voltage, VCC, with a time-constant of
RC. When this voltage level reaches an internally set
threshold voltage, VREf; the voltage comparator
changes state, resets the flip-flops, closes the switch
81, and end the !Lming cycle. The output is taken from
either the Q or Q terminal of the flip-flop and corresponds to a timing pulse of duration T, where:
1. One-Shot or Single-Cycle Timers: These timer IC's operate by charging an external capacitor with a current
set by an external resistor. Upon triggering, the
charging cycle happens only once during the timing
interval. The total timing interval, T, is the time duration necessary for the voltage across the capacitor
to reach a threshold value.
2. Multiple-Cycle or Timer/Counters: These timer circuits
charge and discharge the external timing capacitor,
not once, but a multiple number of times during the
timing interval. The number of times the capacitor is
charged and discharged is set by means of a pre-set
count, N, stored in a binary counter included on the
chip. Thus, the resulting time interval is proportional
to N times the external (RC) product.

VCC - VREF
Normally, the internal threshold voltage, VREf; is generated from the supply voltage by means of a resistor divider as shown in Figure 1. Then, VREF is equal to a
fraction of the supply voltage:
Both the one-shot and the timer/counter type IC's can
be operated in either their monostable or free-running
(I.e., self-triggering) mode. They can also be used for
sequential timing, clock generation, as well as for
pulse-position or pUlse-width modulation, as outlined in

allows the timer circuit to be used as a voltagecontrolled oscillator.
An alternate approach to the design of one-shot timers
is the "linear-ramp generator" circuit, shown in Figure
2. This circuit operates on a principle similar to that of
the basic exponential timer, except the timing capacitor
C is now charged linearly with a constant current, I, and
generates a linear-ramp waveform with a constant
slope of (I/C). The constant-current is in turn controlled
by an external control voltage, VC, applied to the current source. The total timing interval, T, is the time riecessary for the voltage across C to rise from ground to
VREF, at a constant slope of (I/C), or:
The accurate timing intervals which can be obtained
from commercially available one-shot type timer IC's
are limited to the range of several micro-seconds to
several minutes. For generating very short timing
pulses (in the few micro-second range) the internal time
delays associated with the switching speeds of the
comparator, the flip-flop and the discharge transistor
(I.e., the switch S1) may contribute additional timing er-'
rors. Similarly, for long time delays (in the several minute range) which require large values of Rand C, the input bias current of the comparator, and the leakage currents associated with the timing capacitor, or the
internal discharge transistor, may limit the timing accuracy of the circuit.
T = (VREF)(CII)
PRACTICAL LIMITATIONS OF ONE·SHOT TIMERS
(4)
Normally, VREF and Vc (and consequently I) would be
derived from VCC by means of resistor-dividers; therefore, they would be both proportional to VCC. Thus, the
effects of supply voltage variations cancel, and the basic timing equation for the linear-ramp type timer circuit
of Figure 2 becomes
In general, for timing applications requiring time delays
in excess of several minutes, the multiple-cycle or
timerlcounter type timer circuits provide a more economical and practical solution than the one-shot type
ICtimers.

where a is a constant of proportionality set by the internal resistor-dividers within the IC, and Rand C are the
external timing components.
The exponential-ramp type timing circuit of Figure 1 is
inherently simpler and more accurate than the linearramp type circuit. However, the latter has the advantage of providing a linear voltage across the capacitor
which is proportional to the elapsed-time during the timing cycle and can be used as a "linear sweep" or timebase signal for oscilloscope or X-V recorder displays.

Normally, the internal threshold reference, VREf; of
one-shot IC's is available as a package terminal and
can be modulated by an external input signal. This permits the user to modulate or vary the timing interval by
means of an external control signal. This feature can also be used for generating pulse-width modulated

TIMER/COUNTER CIRCUITS
The timerlcounter, or multiple-cycle timing circuits use
the combination of a time-base oscillator and a binary
counter to generate the desired time delay. Figure 3
shows a simplified block diagram of a timerlcounter IC,
which is made up of three basic blocks: (1) a time-base
oscillator; (2) a binary counter; and (3) a control flip-flop.
With reference to the simplified block diagram of Figure
3, the principle of operation of a timerlcounter can be
explained as follows: when the circuit is at rest, or reset
condition, the time-base oscillator is disabled, and the
counter is reset to zero. Once the circuit is triggered,
the time-base oscillator is activated and produces a
series of timing pulses whose repetition rate is proportional to external timing resistor R, and the capacitor

C. These timing pulses are then counted by the binary counter; and when a pre-programmed count Is
reached, the binary-counter resets the control flip-flops,
stops the time-base oscillator and ends the timing cycle. The total timing interval, TO, is then proportional
to N times the (RC) product, where N Is the preprogrammed count.
ed by the binary counter; and when a given count, N, is
reached, the control flip-flop is latched in its reset condition until the next trigger input to the circuit.
In most timer/counter deSigns, it is convenient to set
the ratio of resistors R1 and R2 such that:

UNIQUE FEATURES OF TIMER/COUNTERS
The combination of a stable time-base oscillator and a
programmable binary counter on the same IC chip offer
some unique application and performance features.
Some of these are outlined below:
Generating Long Delays with Small Capacitors: For a given
time delay setting, the timer/counter would require a
timing capacitor, C,that is N times smaller than that
needed for the "one-shot" type timer, where N is the
count programmed into the binary counter. Since largevalue, low-leakage capacitors are quite expensive, this
technique may provide substantial cost savings for generating long time delays in excess of several minutes.
Figure 4. Simplified Schematic of a Time-Base Oscillator
Circuit
Time-Base Oscillator: The time-base oscillator used in
most of the timer/counter IC's is derived from the simple exponential-ramp type timer circuit. Figure 4 shows
the simplified circuit diagram of such an oscillator. The
timing components, Rand C, are external to the chip.
The operation of such an oscillator can be described as
follows: when the circuit is at rest the flip-flop is latched
in its reset state, and the transistor Q1 is "off", the external capacitor C is fully charged to a voltage approximately equal to VCC. When the circuit is triggered, the
flip-flop is unlatched and set, which causes the discharge transistor Q1 to turn "on" and discharge Crapidly. When the voltage across C discharges to the voltage level VB, the comparator #2 changes state, resets
the flip-flop and turns Q1 "off". Then, C charges toward
VCC with a time constant set by the external Rand C.
When the voltage across it reaches the upper threshold, VA, comparator #1 changes state and sets the flipflop again, and discharges C back to the lower threshold level. VB. In this manner, the circuit continues to oscillate, with the voltage level across C exponentially
rising to VA, then rapidly decaying to VB, and then repeating its cycle. The output of the circuit is a sequence of narrow pulses, with a repetition rate T, given
as:
T = RC1n [1
+
:~]
Generating Ultra-Long Delays by Cascading: When a cascading two timer/counters, one cascades the counter stages of both timers. Since the second timer/counter further divides down the counter output of the first timer,
the total available count is increased geometrically,
rather than arithmetically. For example, "if one timer/
counter gives a time delay of NRC, two such timer/
counters cascaded will produce a time delay of N2 RC
where N is the count setting of the binary counter. Thus,
a cascade of two timer/counter IC's, each with an a-bit
binary counter, can produce a time delay in excess of
32,000 RC.
Generating Multiple Delays From Same RC Selting: By using a
programmable binary counter, whose total count can
be programmed between a minimum count of 1, toa
maximum count of N, one can obtain N different time
intervals from the same external RC setting.
Easy to Set or Calibrate: Although timer/counters are normally used for generating long time delays or intervals,
their accuracy characteristics are only determined by
the characteristics of the time-base oscillator. The
counter section does not affect the over-all timing accuracy. Thus, time setting or calibration for long interval
timing can be done quickly, without waiting for the entire timing cycle, by setting the accuracy of the timebase oscillator.

Choosing the Right IC Timer
Because of its versatility, the monolithic IC timer offers
a very wide range of applications in circuit or system
design. However, during the design phase, once the
"paper design" is accomplished, the user is faced with
the key question: which IC timer is the best choice for a
given application? If the performance characteristics
and the limitations of the timer IC is not carefully considered, the total system performance may be degraded; similarly, if the timing function is overspecified with
an excessive amount of "overkill", particularly with regards to its stability and accuracy requirements, then
the system cost will increase unnecessarily.
Sequential Timing: Many timing applications require sequencing of timing functions, i.e., one timer completes
its operation and initiates the next timer, and so on.
Since these applications require a multiplicity of timer
circuits, they are best served by dual-timer IC's, such
as the XR-556 or the XR-2556.
Delayed Timing: Certain timing applications require that
the start of the timing pulse be delayed by a specific
time from the occurrence of the trigger. This can be
easily accomplished by using a dual-timer, such as the
XR-556, where one section of the dual-timer can be
used to set the initial "delay" subsequent to the trigger;
and the second section can be used to generate the actual timing pulse.
The key selection criteria in choosing the right timer for
the job is finding the monolithic IC which will result in
the lowest system cost (including the external components) for a given performance requirement.
Event Counting: In such an application, one needs to
keep an accurate count of "events" which are normally
a series of incoming pulses. This function can be easily
performed with a programmable timerlcounter IC, such
as the XR-2240, where the binary counter section can
be programmed to count a given number of input
pulses and stop the count, andlor reset the circuit when
the programmed count is reached. In the case of the
XR-2240, the existing count in the counters is displayed
in a 8-bit parallel binary-format.
A very large majority of applications for IC timers can
be classified into one of the four categories listed below:
o Interval or Event Timing
o Pulse Generation and Shaping
o Oscillation or Clock-Generation
o Ramp Generation
These categories of applications are discussed in more
detail in the following sections, with the particular emphasis on "choosing the right IC timer" for the particular application.
Digitally-Programmed Timing: Some timing applications
may require that the timing interval be digitally programmable, without switching additional precision resistors and capacitors into the circuit. Such a function
can be easily achieved by using a programmable timerl
counter, such as the XR-2240, where output duration
can be programmed from 1.0 RC to 255 RC, in 1 RC increments, where Rand C are the external timing components.
INTERVAL OR EVENT TIMING
In such an application one uses the IC timer either to
control the time interval between events, or the duration of an event. A typical example of such application
would be to control the opening or closing of an electromechanical relay or sequencing of indicator lights.
PULSE GENERATION AND SHAPING
General Purpose Timing: Most timing applications fall within the time interval range of a few microseconds to several minutes. For such applications the basic one-shot
timer, such as the XR-555, is often the best choice,
based on its low cost and versatility.
A popular class of applications for the one-shot type
timers is pulse shaping or stretching. Some specific examples of such applications and the recommended
types of IC timers for each are given below.
Pulse Stretching: In such an application the IC timer is
operated in its monostable mode and is triggered by an
input series of pulses, whose repetition period is longer
than that timing period of the IC. The output from the
timer will then have the same repetition rate as the input pulse train, except that each output pulse will now
have a uniform duration or length, as set by the RC time
constant of the timer. The two IC's best suited to this
application are the XR-555 and the XR-320. The XR-555
has the advantage of low unit price, whereas the
XR-320 has the advantage of being able to trigger on
either positive- or negative-going edge of the input
pulses.
Low-Power Timing: Many timing applications involving
battery-operated or portable equipment, require a lowpower. timer which can perform the general purpose
timing functions with a minimum amount of power dissipation. The XR-L555 Micropower Timer IC, which operates with less than 1 mW of power dissipation and with
supply voltages as low as 2.7 volts, is especially designed for such applications.
long Interval Timing: For timing applications requiring interval timing in the minutes, hours, or days range, the
timerlcounter IC's present the most economical approach, since they can produce long time delays using
a small value capacitor. For such an application of the
low-cost XR-2242 Long Range Timer, which operates
on the timerlcounter principle, is the most costeffective circuit.
Delayed-Pulse Generation: In this application it is necessary to convert the input pulse train to a different pulse
sequence which has the same repetition rate but a different duration and a different phase. This function can
1-131
be accomplished with a dual·timer circuit, such as the
XR·556 or the XR·2556, where the first timer which is
triggered by the input signal, sets the phase difference
or "delay" between the input and the output pulse se·
quence; and the second timer which is triggered at the
trailing·edge of the first one, sets the output pulse·
width.
Micropower Oscillator: Battery operated or remote-controlled instruments often require a low-power clock oscillator. The XR-L555 Micrbpower Timer, which operates
with less than 1 mW of power drain, is the recom·
mended choice for such applications, since it dissipates 1/15th the power of the conventional 555-type
timer.
Pulse Blanking: In this application it is necessary to selectively "interrupt" or "blank-out" a pulse train. Such
an application can be performed using a dual-timer IC,
such as the XR-556, where one section of the timer can
be operated as a "pulse-stretcher" triggered by the input pulse train; and the second timer section can be
triggered by a separate timing signal and serve as an
enable/disable control for the first timer, thus interrupting or "blanking" its output during its timing interval.
Voltage-Controlled Oscillator: Voltage-controlled oscillator
(VCO) circuits find a wide range of applications in
phase-locked loop systems. The XR·555 (or its low·
powerllow-voltage version of the XR·L555) which has a
separate modulation terminal (Pin 5) can be used as a
VCO by applying the proper control voltage to its modulation terminal and operating the IC in its self-triggering
mode.
Low-Voltage Oscillator: Low threshold CMOS logic circuits
normally require stable clock oscillators which can operate with a single 3 volt supply. The XR-L555 Micropower Timer which can operate with supply voltages as
low as 2.7 volts is particularly suited for such applications.
Pulse-Width Modulation: In certain timing applications it is
necessary to modulate the pulse·width of an output
pulse sequence, without affecting its repetition rate.
Such a requirement can be met by a one-shot timer,
such a::; the XR-555, operating in its monostable mode
and being triggered by a fixed-frequency input pulsetrain. The width of the output pulses from the timer IC
can be modified without affecting the repetition rate, by
simply applying a control·voltage to the modulation ter·
minal of XR·555.
Ultra-Low Frequency Oscillator: Certain battery operated or
remote-controlled equipment require a stable ultra-low
frequency clock oscillator, whose frequency can be as
low as one cycle per day. The XR-2242 Long·Range
Timer circuit which produces a square-wave output
with a period of 256 RC, when operating in its freerunning mode, is a very cost-effective replacement for
such an oscillator.
Pulse-Position Modulation: This application requires the
generation of a pulse sequence whose pulse-width is
constant (and usually very narrow) and, whose repetition rate is modulated. Such a function can be easily
implemented using a dual-timer IC, such as the XR-556,
where the second timer generates the narrow output
pulses when triggered by the output of the first timer.
The first timer section is then operated in its freerunning (I.e., astable) mode and its frequency is then
externally modulated by applying a control-voltage to its
modulation terminal.
Digitally-Programmed Oscillator: In certain applications it
may be necessary to program the frequency of an os·
cillator by means of a binary control signal, without
switching additional resistors or capacitors .into the circuit. The XR-2240 Programmable Timer/Counter, when
operating in its delayed-trigger mode (see Exar Application Note AN-07) can be used in such an application to
generate an output frequency whose period is equal to
(N + 1)RC, where N is the binary count which can be
digitally programmed by an external a·bit binary Signal,
to be any in.teger between 1 and 255.
OSCILLATION OR CLOCK-GENERATION
IC Timers can be operated in their free-running or "selftriggering" mode, to generate periodic timing pulses.
Since the output pulse·width or the frequency can be
controlled by the choice of external resistors and ca·
pacitors. These circuits make excellent low-cost clock
oscillators, for a number of digital systems. Some of
these applications are outlined below.
Binary Pattern Generator: In certain test instrumentation
deSign, it is necessary to generate a pseudorandom binary data pattern, which would then repeat itself periodically. The XR-2240 Programmable Timer/Counter
which provides eight separate "open-collector" outputs, can perform such a function by selective shorting
of one or more of its outputs to a common pull-up resistor_
Clock Generator: In such applications; the IC is used to
generate a fixed-frequency output waveform with nearly
50% duty cycle. The XR-555 timer, whose output dutycycle can be controlled by the choice of two external
resistors, is ideally suited for such an application, for
clock frequencies up to 300 kHz.
Tone-Burst Generator: Some instrumentation applications
require the generation of a certain tone or frequency
signal, at periodic intervals. This function can be accomplished using a dual-timer IC, such as the XR·556
or the XR-2556, where one of the timer sections would
operate as a keyed oscillator which is turned "on" and
"off" by the other timer section. The output of the first
timer section will then be a "tone-burst", which will be
present only during the timing cycle of the second timer.
High-Current Oscillator: Certain oscillator applications require that the circuit output should be able to source or
sink high load currents (2! 100 mAl in order to drive
electromechanical relays or capacitive loads. The
XR-555 Timer IC, which can provide up to 200 mA of
current drive, is well suited for such applications.

from the ground level and rises up to a voltage level approximately equal to 80% of the supply voltage, during
the timing interval. Since the current·source output at
Pin 3 is a high impedance terminal, the sweep or linear

amp connected as a voltage follower.
In a number of timing applications, it is necessary to
generate an analog voltage which is proportional to the
time elapsed during the timing cycle. This function is
particularly useful for generating linear sweep voltage
for oscilloscope or X-V recorder display applications
and it can be accomplished either linear/y or digitaJly,
as described below.
Digital Ramp Generator: In certain applications, a digitally
generated "staircase" voltage is preferred over a linear
ramp signal. Such a digital ramp signal can be generated using the XR-2240 Programmable Timer/Counter,
along with an external resistor ladder and a currentsumming op amp. The digital ramp signal is particularly
useful for analog-to-digital conversion or digital sampleand-hOld applications.

principle, it is ideally suited for this application. Upon

in instrumentation and digital communications equipment, and for a wide variety of industrial control and
special testing applications. In many cases, this circuit
provides a monolithic replacement for mechanical or
electromechanical timing devices.

INPut
The XR-320 timing circuit generates precise timing
pulses (or time delays) whose repetition rate (or length)
is determined by an external timing resistor, R, and timing capacitor, C. The timing period is exactly equal to
2RC and can be continuously varied from 1 "sec to 1
hour. The circuits can be operated in a monostable or
free-running (self-triggering) mode. They can be used
for sequential timing and sweep generation, and also
for pulse-position and pulse-width modulation.

SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
The XR-320 is an extremely versatile monolithic timer
capable of delays ranging from 1 ",sec to 1 hour_ It
works with both positive and negative triggering, and
features both normally high and normally low outputs.
An on board current source, programmable by an external reSistor, changes the timing capacitor. This produces a true ramp function and allows accurate timing
intervals equal to 2 RC.
APPLICATIONS
Precision Timing
Time-Delay Generation
Sequential Timing
Pulse Generation/Shaping
Pulse-Position Modulation
Pulse-Width Modulation
Sweep Generation
Positive going triggering is applied to Pin 6; negative
triggering is applied to Pin 5. After a trigger pulse is applied, the open collector output (Pin 10) will go high and
the high current output (Pin 12) switches into the current sink mode. At timeout, the open collector pulls low,
and can sink 10 mA; the high current output goes high
and can source 100 mAo Utilizing the high current output requires a pull-up resistor from Pin 10 to + Vee.
The resistor must limit current to no more than 10 mA;
1 mA is sufficient. Timing is interrupted and the device
is reset when Pin 7 is grounded. Astable operation is attained by tying the negative going (falling) trigger (Pin 5)
to the timing capacitor (Pin 3). In this configuration, the
device will automatically ret rigger itself upon completion of the timing interval.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
A· lOOK
Figures 2 and 3 show typical connections for the XR320. Only three external components are required for
basic operation: the resistor R and capacitor C which
determine the time delay (2RC); and an external load resistor, RL. The circuit provides two independent logic
outputs: a medium current output (up to 10 mAl at pin
10, and a high current output (up to 100 mAl at pin 12.
The output at pin 10 is of the "bare-collector" type
which requires an external pull-uf resistor, RL, connect·
ed between this terminal and V for proper circuit operation.

With no trigger pulse applied, the output at pin 10 is in a
low state near ground potential; and the output at pin 12
is in a high slate, near V + . The circuit is triggered by
the application of a negative-going pulse to pin 5 or a
positive-going pulse to pin 6. At that instant, the outpul
levels change slate such that pin 10 becomes high and
pin 12 low. The .outputs will remain in this (switched)
state until the delay time, T = 2RC, expires, at which
time the outputs will return to their original state. In this
mode of operation, the trigger input can be activated repeatedly without further influencing the time cycle, i.e.,
once the circuit is triggered it becomes immune to subsequent triggering until the entire timing cycle is completed.

By shorting pins 3 and 5, the XR·320 will operate in a

operation, the circuit functions as a stable clock pulse
generator with a repetition rate of approximately 11
(2RC). The circuit connection and free-running frequency in this application are shown in Figure 7. Note that
one cycle is not precisely equal to 2RC because of capacitor discharge time. Typical waveforms for selftriggered operation are shown in Figure 8.

GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The XR-555 monolithic timing circuit is a highly stable
controller capable of producing accurate timing pulses.
It is a direct, pin-far-pin replacement for the SEINE 555
timer. The circuit contains independent control terminals for triggering or resetting if desired.
In the monostable mode of operation, the time delay is
controlled by one external resistor and one capacitor.
For astable operation as an oscillator, the free-running
frequency and the duty cycle are accurately controlled
with two external resistors and one capacitor (as
shown in Figure 2).
ORDERING INFORMATION
The XR-555 may be triggered or reset on falling waveforms. Its output can source or sink up to 200 mA or
drive TIL circuits.

SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
The XR-555 is an industry standard timing circuit capable of both monostable and astable operation with timing intervals ranging from low microseconds up
through several hours. Timing Is independent of supply
voltage, which may range from 4.5 V to 18 V. The output stage can source or sink 200 mAo
APPLICATIONS
Precision Timing
Pulse Generation
Sequential Timing
Pulse Shaping
Clock Generation
Missing Pulse Detection
Pulse-Width Modulation
Frequency Division
Pulse-Position Modulation
Appliance Timing
In the monostable (one shot) mode, timing is determined by one resistor and capacitor. Astable operations (oscillation) requires an additional resistor, which
controls duty cycle. An internal resistive divider provides a reference voltage of 2/3 VCC, which provides a
timing interval of 1.1 RC. As the reference is related to
VCC, the interval is independent of supply voltage; however, for maximum accuracy, the user should ensure
Vee does not vary during timing.
The output of the XR-555 is high during the timing interval, and pulls low at timeout. It is triggered and reset on
falling waveforms. The·control voltage input (Pin 5) may
serve as a pulse width modulation point.

Micropower Timing Circuit
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
FUNCTIONAL BLOCK DIAGRAM
The XR-L555 is a stable micropower controller capable
of producing accurate timing pulses. It is a direct replacement for the popular 555-timer for applications requiring very low power dissipation. The XR-L555 has
approximately 1/15th the power dissipation of the standard 555-timer and can operate down to 2.7 volts without sacrificing such key features as timing accuracy
and frequency stability. At 5-volt operation, typical
power dissipation of the XR-L555 is 900 microwatts.
The circuit contains independent control terminals for
triggering or resetting if desired. In the monostable
mode of operation, the time delay is controlled by one
external resistor and one capacitor. For astable operation as an oscillator the free-running frequency and the
duty cycle are accurately controlled with two external
resistors and one capacitor as shown in Figure 2. The
XR-L555 is triggered or reset on falling waveforms. Its
output can source up to 100 mA or drive TIL circuits.

FEATURES OF XR-L555
The XR-L555 micropower timer is, in most instances, a
direct pin-for-pin replacement for the conventional 555type timer. However, compared to conventional 555timer, it offers the following important performance features:
enced to 2/3 VCC with the use of three equal internal resistors. When the voltage across the capacitor reaches
this level, the flip-flop is reset, the capacitor is discharged rapidly, and the output level moves toward
ground, and the timing cycle is completed.
Reduced Power Dissipation: The current drain is 1/15th of
the conventional 555-timer.
The duration of the timing period, T, during which the
output logic level is at a "high" state is given by the
equation:
T = 1.1 RAC
No Supply Current Transients: The conventional 555-timer
can produce 300 to 400 mA of supply current spikes
during switching. The XR-L555 is virtually transient-free
as shown in Figure 12.
The time delay varies linearly with the choice of RA and
C as shown by the timing curves of Figure 13. For
proper operation of the circuit, the trigger pulse-width
must be less than the timing period.
Low-Voltage Operation: The XR-L555 operates down to 2.7
volts of supply voltage, vs. 4.5V minimum operating
voltage needed for conventional 555-timer. Thus, the
XR-L555 can operate safely and reliably with two 1.5V
NiCd batteries.
APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
Once the circuit is triggered it is immune to additional
trigger inputs until the present timing-period has been
completed. The timing-cycle can be interrupted by using the reset control (pin 4). When the reset control is
"low", the internal discharge transistor is turned "on"
and prevents the capacitor from charging. As long as
the reset voltage is applied, the digital output level will
remain unchanged, I.e. "low". The reset pin should be
connected to + VCC when not used to avoid the possibility of false triggering.
MONOSTABLE (ONE-SHOT) OPERATION
ASTABLE (SELF-TRIGGERING) OPERATION
The circuit connection for monostable, or one-shot operation of the XR-L555 is shown in Figure 1. The internal flip-flop is triggered by lowering the trigger level at
pin 2 to less than 1/3 of VCC. The circuit triggers on a
negative-going slope. Upon triggering, the flip-flop is
set to one side, which releases the short circuit across
the capacitor and also moves the output level at pin 3
toward VCC. The voltage across the capacitor, therefore, starts increasing exponentially with a time constant T = RAC. A high impedance comparator is refer-
For astable (or self-triggering) operation, the correct circuit connection is shown in Figure 2. The external capacitor charges to 2/3 VCC through the parallel combination of RA and RB, and discharges to 1/3 VCC
through RB. In this manner, the capacitor voltage oscillates between 1/3 VCC and 2/3 Vcc, with an exponential waveform. The oscillations can be keyed "on" and
"off" using the reset control. The frequency of oscillation can be readily calculated from the equations in Figure 2 and Figure 14.
Proven Bipolar Technology: The XR-L555 is fabricated using conventional bipolar process technology. Thus, it is
immune to electrostatic burn-out problems associated
with low-power timers using CMOS technology.

GENERAL DESCRIPTION
FUNCTIONAL BLDCK DIAGRAM
The XR-556 dual timing circuit contains two independent 555-type timers on a single monolithic chip. It is a
direct, pin-for-pin replacement for the SEINE 556 dual
timer. Each timer section Is a highly stable controller
capable of producing accurate time delays or oscillations. Independent output and control terminals are
provided for each section as shown in the functional
block diagram.
DISCHARGE
In the monostable mode of operation, the time delay for
each section is precisely controlled by one external resistor and one capacitor. For astable operation as an
oscillator, the free-running frequency and the duty cycle of each section are accurately controlled with two
external resistors and one capacitor..

SYSTEM DESCRIPTION (continued)
The output of the XR-556 is high during the timing interval, and pulls low at timeout. It is triggered and reset on
falling waveforms. The control voltage inputs (Pins 3
and 11) may serve as pulse width modulation points.
Matching between sections is typically better than
0.05% initially, with temperature drift tracking to ± 10
ppm/oe and supply voltage drift tracking to 0.1 %N. For
low voltage and/or low power drain applications, consider the XR-L556.
In the monostable (one shot) mode, timing is determined by one resistor and capacitor. Astable operation
(oscillation) requires an additional resistor, which controls duty cycle. An internal resistive divider provides a
reference voltage of 2/3 Vee, which produces a timing
interval of 1.1 Re. As the reference is related to Vee,
the interval is independent of supply voltage; however,
for maximum accuracy, the user should ensure Vee
does not vary during timing.

Micropower Dual Timer
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
FUNCTIONAL BLOCK DIAGRAM
The XR-L556 dual timer contains two independent micropower timer sections on a monolithic chip. It is a direct replacement for the conventional 556-type dual
timers, for applications requiring very low power dissipation. Each section of the XR-L556 dual timer is equivalent to Exar's XR-L555 micropower timer. The circuit
dissipates only 1/15th of the stand-by power of conventional dual timers and can operate down to 2.5 volts
without sacrificing such key features as timing accuracy and stability. At 5 volt operation, typical power dissipation of the dual-timer circuit is less than 2 mW; and
it can operate in excess of 500 hours with only two 300
mA-Hr NiCd batteries.

i.e. "low". The reset pin should be connected to + Vee
when not used to avoid the possibility of false triggering.
PRINCIPLES OF OPERATION
ASTABLE (SELF-TRIGGERING) OPERATION
MoNoSTABLE (ONE-SHOT) OPERATION
For astable (or self-triggering) operation, the correct circuit connection is shown in Figure 2. The external capacitor charges to 213 VCC through the series combination of RA and RS, and discharges to 1/3 Vee through
RS. In this manner, the capacitor voltage oscillates between 113 VCC and 2/3 VCC, with an exponential waveform. The output level at pin 5 (or 9) is high during the
charging cycle, and goes low during the discharge cycle. The charge and the discharge times are independent of supply voltage. The oscillations can be keyed
"on" and "off" using the reset controls (pin 4 or 10).
The circuit connection for monostable, or one-shot operation is one of the timer sections of the XR-L556 is
shown in Figure 1. The internal flip-flop is triggered by
lowering the trigger level to less than 1/3 of VCC. The
circuit triggers on a negative-going slope. Upon triggering, the flip-flop is set, which releases the short circuit
across the capacitor and also moves the output level
toward Vee: The voltage across the capacitor, therefore, starts increasing exponentially with a time constant T = RAC. A comparator is referenced to 2/3 Vee
with the use of three equal internal resistors. When the
voltage across the capacity reaches this level, the flipflop is reset, the capacitor is discharged rapidly, the
output level moves toward ground and the timing cycle
is completed. The duration of the timing period, T, during which the output logic level is at a "high" state is
given by the equation:
T = 1.1 RAC
This time delay varies linearly with the choice of RA and
C as shown by the timing curves of Figure 13. For
proper operation of the circuit, the trigger pulse-width
must be less than the timing period.
Once the circuit is triggered it is immune to additional
trigger inputs until the present period has been completed. The timing-cycle can be interrupted by using the
reset control. When the reset control is "low", the internal discharge transistor is turned "on" and prevents the
capacitor from charging. As long as the reset voltage is
applied, the digital output level will remain unchanged

If Timer 1 is operated in its astable mode and Timer 2 is
operated in its monostable mode, as shown in Figure
19, then an oscillator with fixed frequency and variable
duty cycle results.
FREQUENCY DIVIDER AND PULSE SHAPER
If the frequency of the input is known, each timer sec·
tion of the XR·L556 can be used as a frequency divider
by adjusting the length of its timing cycle. If the timing
interval T 1 (= 1.1 R1C1) is larger than the period of the
input pulse trigger, then only those input pulses which
are spaced more than 1.1 R1 C1 will actually trigger the
circuit.
Timer 1 generates a basic periodic waveform that is
then used to trigger Timer 2. If the time delay, T2, of
Timer 2 is chosen to be less than the period of oscillations of Timer 1, then the output at pin 9 has the same
frequency as Timer 1, but has its duty cycle determined
by the timing cycle of Timer 2. The output duty cycle
can be adjusted over a wide range (from 1 % to 99%)
by adjusting R2.
,------t"----r--o'\lcc
The output frequency is equal to (1/N) times the input
frequency. The division factor N is in the range:

Figure 19. Micropower Oscillator with Fixed Frequency and
Variable Duty-Cycle
Where N1 and N2 are the division factors for respective
timer sections, set by external resistors and capacitors
at pins (1, 2) and (12, 13).
Frequency division can be performed by 1/2 of the XRL556. The remaining timer section can be used as a
"pulse-shaper" to adjust the duty cycle of the output
waveform. As seen in Figure 18, Timer 1 is used as the
frequency divider section and Timer 2 is used as the
pulse shapero
The output of Timer 1 (pin 5) triggers Timer 2, which
produces an output pulse whose frequency is the same
as the output frequency of Timer 1, and whose duty cycle is controlled by the timing resistor and capacitor of
Timer 2. The duty cycle of the output of Timer 2 (pin 9)
can be adjusted from 1 % to 99% by varying the value
of R2.

V and 18 V. Each section has independent timing and
triggering, and can operate over intervals ranging from
the low microseconds up through several minutes. The
devices are triggered on falling waveforms and are immune to long trigger pulses. When the reset pin (Pin 13)
is held below 0.8 V, all four outputs are set low and all
triggers are disabled. Timing period accuracy is typically better than 1 %, independent of VCC, and drift is
better than 150 ppm/DC and 0.5 % IV. The timing period,
in seconds, equals R times C.

the IC. All four timing sections can be used simultane~
ously, or can be interconnected in tandem, for sequential timing applications. For astable operation, two sections of the quad-timer IC can be interconnected to provide an oscillator circuit whose duty-cycle can be
adjusted from close to zero, to nearly 100 %.
DESCRIPTION OF CIRCUIT OPERATION
The XR-558/559 quad timing circuits are designed to be
used in timing applications ranging from few microseconds up several hours. They provide cost-effective alternative to single-timer IC's in applications requiring a
multiplicity of timing or sequencing functions.
The generalized test and evaluation circuit for both the
XR-558 and the XR-559 quad timer circuits is shown in
Figure 1. Note that, the only difference between the two
circuit types is the structure of the output circuitry.
Each quad-timer circuit contains four independent timer sections, where each section can generate a time
delay set by its own resistor and capacitor, external to
1-156
XR·558/559
The frequency of oscillation can be externally con·
trolled by applying a control,voltage to the control ter·
minal (pin 4). Since the control terminal is common to
all the timer sections, the duty cycle of the output
waveform is not effected by the modulation voltage;
thus the circuit can function as a variable·frequency,
fixed duty·cycle oscillator.

MONOSTABLE OPERATION
In the monostable, or one-shot mode of operation, it is
necessary to supply two external components, a resis'
tor and a capacitor, for each section of the timer IC. The
timing terminals of those timer-sections not being used
can be left open-circuited. The time period is equal to
the external RC product. A plot of the timing period, T,
as a function of the external R·C combination is shown
in Figure 2.

.....:
The XR-558 family of quad timers have "opencollector" NPN·type output stages. Each output can individually sink up to 100 mA of load current. However,
with more than one output active, the total current ca·
pability is limited by the power·dissipation rating of the
IC package (see Absolute Maximum Ratings). In the
normal operation of the circuit, each output will require
a pull-up resistor to + VCC. The output is normally
"low" state (i.e. sinking current) when the timer is at reset; and goes to "high" state during the timing cycle.

The XR-559 family of quad timers have Darlington NPN

limited by the package power dissipation rating. For
normal operation of the circuit, a pull·down resistor is
required from each output to ground. The output of XR·
559 is normally low (i.e. at "off-state"), and goes to

ASTABLE OPERATION
TRIGGER INPUTS
For astable, or free· running, operation of the quad timer
circuits, it is desirable to cross-couple two of the timer
sections on the chip, as shown in Figure 3. In this circuit configuration, the outputs of each section are
direct·coupled to the opposite trigger input. Thus, the
"high" and "low" half-periods of the output can be set
by the external R-C products, as R1Cl and R2C2, reo
spectively. The frequency of oscillation, and the output
duty,cycle are given as:
Each timer section of the quad-timer IC's has its own
trigger input. The trigger level is set at nominally + 1.5
V, and the trigger input is edge-triggered on the falling
edge of an input trigger pulse. In other words, for
proper triggering, the trigger signal must first go "high"
and then go "low". If both the trigger and the reset controls are activated, the reset control overrides the trigger input.
1-157
XR·558/559
RESET INPUT
an over-all timing variation of approximately 50:1. Since
the time period of each timer section is proportional to
the control voltage, all four timing periods can be simultaneously varied, and their relative ratios remain unchanged over the adjustment range.
The reset control (pin 13) is common to all four timer
section and resets all of the timer sections simultaneously.
The reset voltage must be brought below 0.8 V to insure
reset condition. When reset is activated, all the outputs
go to "low" state. While the reset is active, the trigger
inputs are inhibited. After reset is finished, the trigger
voltage must be taken high and then low to implement
triggering.
APPLICATIONS EXAMPLE
Sequential Timer:
Figure 4 shows a typical application for the quad-timer
in sequential timing application. For illustration purposes, the XR-558 is used in the example. Note that,
when triggered, the circuit produces four sequential
time delays, where the duration of each output is independently controlled by its own R-C time constant. Yet,
all four outputs can be modulated over a 50:1 range,
and remain proportional over this entire range. Since
each timer section is edge-triggered, the sections can
be cascaded by direct coupling of respective outputs
and trigger inputs.
CONTROL VOLTAGE
The control voltage terminal (pin 4) is common to all
four timer sections of the XR-558 or the XR-559. This
terminal allows the internal threshold voltages of all
four timer sections to be modulated, and thus provides
the control of the pulse-width or the duty-cycle of the
output waveforms. The range of this control voltage is
from 0.5 V to + Vee minus 1 Volt. This range provides

GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The XR-2556 dual timing circuit contains two independent 555-type timers on a single monolithic chip. Each
timer section is a highly stable controller capable of
producing accurate time delays or oscillations. Independent output and control terminals are provided for
each section as shown in the functional block diagram.
In the monostable mode of operation, the time delay for
each section is precisely controlled by one external resistor and one capacitor. For astable operation as an
oscillator, the free-running frequency and the duty cycle of each section are accurately controlled with two
external resistors and one capacitor.
The XR-2556 may be triggered or reset on falling waveforms. Each output can source or sink up to 200 mA or
drive TIL circuits. The matching and temperature tracking characteristics between each timer section of the
XR-2556 are superior to those available from two separate timer packages.

SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
In the monostable (one shot) mode, timing is determined by one resistor and capacitor. Astable operation
(oscillation) requires an additional resistor, which controls duty cycle. An internal resistive divider provides a
reference voltage of 2/3 VCC, which produces a timing
interval of 1.1 RC. As the reference is related to VCC,
the interval is independent of supply voltage; however,
for maximum accuracy, the user should ensure VCC
does not vary during timing.

The output of the XR-2556 is high during the timing interval and pulls low at timeout. It is triggered and reset
on falling waveforms. The control voltage inputs (Pins 4

PRINCIPLES OF OPERATION
Figure 4 shows the waveforms during the monostable
timing cycle. The top waveform is the trigger pulse; the
Figure 2 is the functional block diagram for each timer
section of the XR-2556. These sections share the same
V+ and ground leads, but have independent outputs
and control terminals. Therefore, each timer section
can operate independently of the other. The timing cycle of each section is determined by an external
resistor-capacitor network.

MONOSTABLE (ONE-SHOT) OPERATION
When operating either timer section of the XR-2556 in
the monostable mode, a single resistor and a capacitor
are used to set the timing cycle. The discharge and
threshold terminals are also interconnected in this
mode, as shown in Figure 3.

Figure 3. Monostablo (One-Shot) Circuit
Referring to Figure 2, monostable operation of the
XR-2556 is explained as follows: the external timing capacitor
is held discharged by the internal transistor,
To. The internal flip-flop is triggered by lowering the trigger levels (pins 2 or 12) to less than 1/3 Vee. The circuit
triggers on a negative-going slope. Upon triggering, the
flip-flop is set to one side, which releases the short circuit across the capacitor and also moves the output
level at pins 1 or 13 toward Vee. The voltage across the
capacitor, therefore, starts increasing exponentially
with a time constant T = RA. A high impedance comparator is referenced to 2/3 Vee with the use of three
equal interval resistors. When the voltage across the
capacitor reaches this level, the flip-flop is reset, the
capacitor is discharged rapidly, and the output level
moves toward ground, and the timing cycle is completed.

Once the circuit is triggerd it is immune to additional
trigger inputs until the present timing-period has been
completed. The timing-cycle can be interrupted by using the reset control (pins 6 or 8). When the reset control is "low", the internal discharge transistor is turned
"on" and prevents the capacitor from charging. As long
as the reset voltage is applied, the digital output level
will remain unchanged, i.e. "low". The reset pin should
be connected to V + when not used to avoid the possibility of false triggering.

TYPICAL CHARACTERISTICS (Each Timer Section)
ASTABLE (SELF-TRIGGERING) OPERATION
middle is the exponential ramp across the timing capacitor. The bottom waveform is the output logic state
(at pins 1 or 13) during the timing cycle. For proper operation of the circuit, the trigger pulse-width must be
less than the timing period.
For astable (or self-triggering) operation, the correct circuit connection is shown in Figure 15. The external capacitor charges to 2/3 Vee through the parallel combination of RA and RS, and discharges to 1.3 Vee
through RS. In this manner, the capacitor voltage oscillates between 1/3 Vee and 2/3 Vee, with the exponential waveform as shown in Figure 16. The output level at
pin 1 (or 13) is high during the charging cycle, and goes
low during the discharge cycle. The charge and the discharge times are independent of supply voltage. The
oscillations can be keyed "on" and "off" using the reset controls (pin 6 or 8)
The duration of the timing period, T, during which the
output logic level is at a "high" state is given by the
equation:
T = 1.1 RAe
This time delay varies linearly with the choice or RA
and as shown by the timing curves of Figure 5.

The timing cycle is completed when the voltage level at

In this application, the output of one timer section
(Timer 1) is capacitively coupled to the trigger terminal
of the second, as shown in Figure 21. When Timer 1 is
triggered at pin 2, its output at pin 1 goes "high" for a
time duration T 1 = 1.1 R1 C1. At the end of this timing
cycle, pin 1 goes "low" and triggers Timer 2 through
the capacitive coupling, CC, between pins 1 and 12.
Then, the output at pin 13 goes "high" for a time duration T2 = 1.1 R2C2. In this manner, the unit behaves as
a "delayed one-shot" where the output of Timer 2 is
delayed from the initial trigger at pin 2 by a time delay
of T1.

KEYED OSCILLATOR
One of the timer sections of the XR·2556 can be operated in its free-running mode, and the other timer section
can be used to key it "on" and "off". A recommended
circuit connection is shown in Figure 22. Timer 2 is
used as the oscillator section, and its frequency is set
by the resistors RA, RB and the capacitor C2. Timer 1 is
operated as a monostable circuit, and its output is con·
nected to the reset terminal (pin 8) of Timer 2.
APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
INDEPENDENT TIME DELAYS
Each timer section of the XR-2556 can operate as an independent timer to generate a time delay, T, set by the
respective external timing components. Figure 20 is a
circuit connection where each section is used sepa-
1-164
XR·2556
When the circuit is at rest, the logic level at the output
of Timer 1 is "low"; and the oscillations of Timer 2 are
inhibited. Upon application of a trigger signal to Timer
1, the logic level at pin 1 goes "high" and the oscillator
section (Timer 2) is keyed "on". Thus, the output of
Timer 2 appears as a tone burst whose frequency is set
by RA, RS and C2, and whose duration is set by R1 and
C1 of Figure 22.
FREQUENCY DIVIDER
If the frequency of the input is known, each timer section of the XR-2556 can be used as a frequency divider
by adjusting the length of its timing cycle. If the timing
interval T 1 (= 1.1 R1C1) is larger than the period of the
input pulse trigger, then only those input pulses which
are spaced more than 1.1 R1C1 will actually trigger the
circuit.

Figure 23 shows the circuit waveforms for divide-by-five

In this case, the timing period of the circuit is set to be
approximately 4.5 times the period of the input pulse.
Figure 24. Frequency Divider and Pulse-Shaper
The output of Timer 1 (pin 1) triggers Timer 2, which
produces an output pulse whose frequency is the same
as the output frequency of Timer 1, and whose duty cycle is controlled by the timing resistor and capacitor of
Timer 2. The duty cycle of the output of Timer 2 (pin 13)
can be adjusted from 1 % to 99 % by varying the value
of R2.
.
Since the two timer sections of the XR-2556 are electrically independent, each can be used as a frequency divider. Thus, if the trigger terminals of both timer sections are connected to a common input, the XR-2556
can produce two independent outputs at frequencies f1
and f2:
f1

Figure 25 shows the circuit waveforms in this application. The top waveform is the input signal of frequency
fs applied to the trigger input (pin 2) of Timer 1. The middle waveform is the output of Timer 1 for divide-by-three
operation; and the bottom waveform is the pulseshaped output obtained from Timer 2 (pin 13).

Timer 1 generates an output at frequency f1 at pin 1, as
set by resistor RA, RS, and C1. Timer 2 is used as a frequency divider by setting its timing cycle, T2, to be larger than the period of Timer 1 (see section on frequency

GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The XR-2243 is a monolithic Timer/Controller capable
of producing ultra-long time delays from micro-seconds
to days. Two timing circuits can be cascaded to generate time delays or timing intervals up to one year. The
circuit is comprised of an internal time-base oscillator,
an 11 -bit binary counter and a control flop-flop. For a
given external R-C network connected to the timing terminal, the circuit produces an output timing pulse of
1024 RC. If the two circuits are cascaded, a total time
delay of (1024)2 or 1,048,576 RC is obtained.
The XR-2243 long range timer was designed for low
power operation. Its supply current requires less than
100 p.A in standby or reset mode. Normal operation requires less than 1mAo
The timing cycle is initiated by applying a positive going
pulse to the trigger input, Pin 6. The time-base oscillator generates timing pulses with its period, T, equal to 1
RC. These clock pulses are counted by the binary
counter section. The timing cycle is completed when a
positive-going reset pulse is applied to Pin 5.

In monostable timer applications, the output terminal
(Pin 3) is connected to the reset terminal, Pin 5. In this
manner, after 1024 clock pulses are counted, this output goes to "high" state and resets the circuit, thus
completing the timing cycle. Therefore, after triggering,
the output at Pin 3 will produce a total timing pulse of
1024 RC before the circuit resets itself to complete the
timing cycle. During the timing interval, the secondary
output at Pin 2 produces a square-wave output with the
period of 2 RC.
ABSOLUTE MAXIMUM RATINGS
If the output at Pin 3 is not connected back to the reset
terminal, the circuit continues to operate in an astable
mode, subsequent to a trigger input.

the clock pulses.
of oscillation is determined by the external Rand e values. The timing section is followed by an 12L counter,
which consists of eleven binary stages, with high current drive capability output stages from the first and the
last. A third subsection of the circuit is the control logic
circuit consisting of a flip-flop that is set and reset by
Pins 6 and 5, respectively. This section controls the resetting of all counter stages, and starting the timing cir·
cuit upon application of a positive-going trigger pulse.
The control logic also activates the power shut down
circuit when a reset pulse is received, or when the timing cycle is completed. The power shut down circuit
turns off the bias line to the time base and 12L counters
to reduce the standby power.
When the trigger pulse is applied, the internal power
line which is supplying voltage for 12L circuitry (12LVec)
is set up first, a Schmitt trigger circuit with a built in delay ensures the application of an internal set pulse,
right after the power for the 12 section is made available. The counters are all set to "1" and are ready to
count with the incoming falling edges of clock impulses.
OUTPUT SECTIONS (Pins 2 and 3)
CONTROL FLIP-FLOP
The output sections are designed such that they can
handle 10mA load currents @ VOL = 300mV. Both of
the transistors in this section are operating in a nonsaturated mode because of the clamping action. This
ensures faster operation and also decreases the need
of high base drive at full load operation.
The logic flip-flop circuit controls the time/counter, as
well as the internal power, to reduce standby current
consumption to approximately 100,.A. Upon command,
by a positive-going trigger pulse applied to Pin 6, the
control logic circuit will first establish the upper and
lower threshold voltages and then setup all internal current sources, biasing the time base and counter sections.
The timing cycle for the circuit is initiated by applying a
positive-going trigger to the set, or trigger pin, (Pin 6) of
the device. The trigger pulse actuates the time base oscillator, enables the counter section, and sets the outputs to "low" state. The time base oscillator generates
timing pulses with its period, T = 1Re. These timing or
clock pulses are counted by the binary counter section.
The timing cycle is completed when a positive-going reset pulse is applied to the reset pin (Pin 5).
The circuit will automatically reset itself when power is
first applied. Once triggered, the circuit is immune to
additional trigger pulses until it is reset. A reset pin terminates the timing cycle by resetting the internal logic
and shuts off the internal bias circuitry.
TIME BASE OSCILLATOR
....---------_--o.vcc
The time base oscillator is a simple exponential ramp
type timer circuit. The timing components, Rand e, are
external to the chip. The operation of such an oscillator
can be described as follows: when the circuit is at rest
the flip-flop is latched in its reset state, the discharge
transistor is "off", and the external capacitor, e, is fully
charged to a voltage approximately equal to Vee.
When the circuit is triggered, the flip-flop is unlatched
and set, which causes the discharge transistor to turn
"on" and discharge e rapidly. When the voltage across
e discharges to the voltage level Vth _, the upper comparator changes state, resets the flip-flop and turns the
discharge transistor "off". Then, e charges toward
Vee with a time constant set by the external Rand e.
When the voltage across it reaches the upper threshold, Vth +, the comparator changes state, sets the flip·
flop again, and discharges e back to the lower threshold level, Vth _. In this manner, the circuit continues to
oscillate with the voltage level across e exponentially
rising to Vth + ' then rapidly decaying to Vth _ and then
repeating this cycle until the timing period ends.

TIMING CAPACITOR (PINS 14 AND 15)
The oscillator frequency is inversely proportional to the
value of the timing capacitor, Co. connected between
pins 14 and 15. With the sweep input open circuited. fre·
quecy fo can be approximated as: fo = 400/Co where fo
is in Hz and Co is in microforads. (See Figure 4.)
,.
MODULATOR V-INPUTS (PINS 5 AND 6)
- These inputs are normally connected to the oscillator
outputs. For sinewave or trianglewave outputs, they are
dc coupled to pins 14 and 15 (see Figure 1); for high·
level squarewave or pulse output, ac coupling is used
as shown in Figure 3.
BUFFER OUTPUT
Figure 1. Test Circuit for Single-Supply Operation
MODULAR X-INPUTS (PINS 3 AND 4)
Modulator output (at pins 1 or 2) is proportional to a dc
voltage applied across these inputs . (see Figure 5).
These inputs can be used for amplitude modulation or,
as an output amplitude control. The phase of the output
voltage is reversed if the polarity of the dc bias across
pins 3 and 4 is reversed; therefore these inputs can be
used for phase-shift keyed (PSK) modulation.

MODULATOR OUTPUTS (PINS 1 AND 2)
All of the high level output waveforms are obtained at
these terminals. The output waveforms appear differen·
tially between pins 1 and 2. The terminals can, there·
fore, be used for either in·phase or out·of·phase out·
puts. Normally, a 15 KO load resistor should be connected between these terminals to prevent the output
from saturating or clipping at large output voltage
swings.

OUTPUT WAVEFORMS
TRIANGLE OUTPUT
WAVEFORM ADJUSTMENT (PINS 7 AND 8)
The circuit is connected as shown in Figures 1 or 2,
with switches 81 and 82 open.
The shape of the output waveform at pins 1 and 2 is
controlled by a potentiometer, Rj, connected between
these terminals as shown in Figure 1. For sinewave outputs at pins 1 and 2, the value of Rj is adjusted to minimize the harmonic content of the output waveform. This
adjustment is independent of frequency and needs to
be done only once. The output can be converted to a
symmetrical triangle waveform by increasing the effective resistance across these terminals. This can be
done without changing the potentiometer setting, by
opening the switch 82 as shown in Figures 1-3.
SINEWAVE OUTPUT
BUFFER INPUT AND OUTPUT (PINS 10 AND 11)
The buffer amplifier can be connected to any of the circuit outputs (pins 1, 2, 12, 14 or 15) to provide low output impedance and high current drive capability. For
proper operation of the buffer amplifier, pin 11 must be
connected to the most negative potential in the circuit,
with an external load resistor RL (0.75 KIl < RL < 10
KIl). The maximum output current at this pin must not
exceed 20 mAo
DUTY CYCLE ADJUSTMENT
The duty-cycle of the output waveforms can be adjusted by connecting a resistor RS across pins 13 and 14,
as shown in Figures 1-3. With switch 82 open, the output waveform will be symmetrical. Duty cycle is reduced as RS is decreased. (8ee Figure 6.)
The circuit is connected as shown in Figures 1 or 2,
with switch S2 open and S1 closed. The output waveform is adjusted for minimum harmonic distortion using
trimmer resistor Rj connected across pins 7 and 8. Sinusoidal output is obtained from pins 1 or 2 (or pin 11 if
the buffer amplifier is used). The amplitude of the output waveform is controlled by the differential dc voltage
appearing between pins 3 and 4. This bias can be controlled by potentiometer Rq . for a differential bias between these terminals of ± 2 volts or greater, the output
amplitude is maximum and equal to approximately 3
volts pop.
SAWTOOTH OUTPUT
The circuit is connected as shown in Figures 1 or 2,
with switch S1 open and S2 closed. Closing S2 places
resistor RS across pins 13 and 14. This changes the duty cycle of the triangle output and converts it to a sawtooth waveform. The polarity of the sawtooth can be
changed by reversing the polarity of the dc bias across
pins 3 and 4. If S1 is closed, the linear sawtooth waveform is converted to the sinusoidal sawtooth waveform
of Figure 9A.
RAMP OUTPUT (FIGURE 9B)
ADDITIONAL GAIN CONTROL
For ramp outputs, switch S3 of Figure 1 or 2 is opened,
and pin 10 is shorted to pin 14. This results in a 1.4 volt
pop ramp output at pin 11. The duty cycle of this ramp
can be controlled by connecting RS across pins (13-14)
or (13-15).
For amplitude modulated output signals, the dc level
across pins 3 and 4 is fixed by the modulation index required. In this case, the output amplitude can be controlled without effecting the modulation by connecting a
potentiometer between pins 1 and 2.
SQUAREWAVE AND PULSE OUTPUTS
ON-OFF KEYING
The oscillator can be keyed off by applying a positive
voltage pulse to the sweep input terminal. With Rs = 1
KIl, oscillations will stop if the applied potential at pin
13 is raised 3 volts above its open-circuit value.
1-191
For squarewave outputs, the circuit is connected as
shown in Figure 3, with S2 open. The output can be
converted to a pulse by closing S2. The duty cycle of
the pulse output is controlled by potentiometer RD. The
amplitude and polarity of either the pulse or squarewave output can be controlled by potentiometer Rq .

Monolithic Function Generator
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
FUNCTIONAL BLOCK DIAGRAM
The XR-2206 is a monolithic function generator integrated circuit capable of producing high quality sine,
square, triangle, ramp, and pulse waveforms of highstability and accuracy. The output waveforms can be
both amplitude and frequency modulated by an external voltage. Frequency of operation can be selected
externally over a range of 0.01 Hz to more than 1 MHz.
The circuit is ideally suited for communications, instrumentation, and function generator applications requiring sinusoidal tone, AM, FM, or FSK generation. It has a
typical drift specification of 20 ppm/DC. The oscillator
frequency can be linearly swept over a 2000:1 frequency range, with an external control voltage, having a
very small affect on distortion.

SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
The XR-2206 is comprised of four functional blocks; a
voltage-controlled oscillator (VCO), an analog multiplier
and sine-shaper; a unity gain buffer amplifier; and a set
of current switches.
The VCO actually produces an output frequency proportional to an input current, which is produced by a resistor from the timing terminals to ground. The current
switches route one of the timing pins current to the
VCO controlled by an FSK input pin, to produce an output frequency. With two timing pins, two discrete output
frequencies can be independently produced for FSK

Frequency-Shift Keying:
FSK Generation
The XR-2206 can be operated with two separate timing
resistors, R1 and R2, connected to the timing Pin 7 and
8, respectively, as shown in Figure 12. Depending on
the polarity of the logic signal at Pin 9, either one or the
other of these timing resistors is activated. If Pin 9 is
open-circuited or connected to a bias voltage ";?;2V, only
R1 is activated. Similarly, if the voltage level at Pin 9 is
:s 1V, only R2 is activated. Thus, the output frequency
can be keyed between two levels, f1 and f2, as:
Figure 12 shows the circuit connection for sinusoidal
FSK signal operation. Mark and space frequencies can
be independently adjusted, by the choice of timing resistors, R1 and R2; the output is phase-continuous during transitions. The keying signal is applied to Pin 9. The
circuit can be converted to split-supply operation by
simply replacing ground with V-.

1/R1C and f2
Pulse and Ramp Generation
= 1/R2C
Figure 13 shows the circuit for pulse and ramp waveform generation. In this mode of operation, the FSK keying terminal (Pin 9) is shorted to the square-wave output
(Pin 11), and the circuit automatically frequency-shift
keys itself between two separate frequencies during
the positive-going and negative-going output waveforms. The pulse width and duty cycle can be adjusted
from 1 % to 99%, by the choice of R1 and R2. The values of R1 and R2 should be in the range of 1 kO to 2
MO.
For split-supply operation, the keying voltage at Pin 9 is
referenced to V-.
Output DC Level Control:
The dc level at the output (Pin 2) is approximately the
same as the dc bias at Pin 3. In Figures 10, 11 and 12,
Pin 3 is biased midway between V+ and ground, to
give an output dc level of '" V + 12.

Description of Controls
Without External Adjustment:
Frequency 01 Operation:
Figure 10 shows the circuit connection for generating a
sinusoidal output from the XR-2206. The potentiometer,
R1 at Pin 7, provides the desired frequency tuning. The
maximum output swing is greater than V + 12, and the
typical distortion (THO) is <2.5%. If lower sine wave
distortion is desired, additional adjustments can be provided as described in the following section.
The frequency of oscillation, 10 , is determined by the external timing capacitor, e, across Pin 5 and 6, and by
the timing resistor, R, connected to either Pin 7 or 8.
The frequency is given as:
The circuit of Figure 10 can be converted to split-supply
operation, simply by replacing all ground connections
with V-. For split-supply operation, R3 can be directly
connected to ground.
and can be adjusted by varying either R or C. The recommended values of R, for a given frequency range, as
shown in Figure 4. Temperature stability is optimum for

Frequency Sweep and Modulation:
The harmonic content of sinusoidal output can be reduced to '" 0.5 % by additional adjustments as shown
in Figure 11. The potentiometer, RA, adjusts the sineshaping resistor, and RB provides the fine adjustment
for the waveform symmetry. The adjustment procedure
is as follows:
Frequency of oscillation is proportional to the total timing current, IT, drawn from Pin 7 or 8:

1. Set RB at midpoint, and adjust RA for minimum
distortion.
Timing terminals (Pin 7 or 8) are low-impedance pOints,
and are internally biased at + 3V, with respect to Pin 12.
Frequency varies linearly with ITo over a wide range of
current values, from 1 ,.A to 3 mA. The frequency can
be controlled by applying a control voltage, Ve, to the
activated timing pin as shown in Figure 9. The frequency of oscillation is related to Ve as:
2. With RA set as above, adjust RB to further reduce
distortion.
Triangle Wave Generation
The circuits of Figures 10 and 11 can be converted to
triangle wave generation, by simply open-circuiting Pin
13 and 14 (Le., S1 open). Amplitude of the triangle is approximately twice the sine wave output.

Amplitude Modulation:
where Veis in volts. The voltage-to-frequency conversion gain, K, is given as:
K = lJf/lJVe = -
Output amplitude can be modulated by applying a dc bias and a modulating signal to Pin 1. The internal impedance at Pin 1 is approximately 100 kD. Output amplitude varies linearly with the applied voltage at Pin 1, for
values of dc bias at this pin, within ± 4 volts of V + /2 as
shown in Figure 5. As this bias level approaches V + /2,
the phase of the output signal is reversed and the amplitude goes through zero. This property i~ suitable for
~hase-shift keyin.g' and suppressed-carrier AM generation. Total dynamic range of amplitude modulation is approximately 55 dB.

Ree
CAUTION: For safety operation of the circuit, IT
should be limited to oS 3 mAo
Output Amplitude:
Maximum output amplitude is inversely proportional to
the exte~nal resistor, R3, connected to Pin 3 (see Figure
2). For sine wave output, amplitude is approximately 60
~V peak .per kD of R3: for triangle, the peak amplitude
IS approximately 160 mV peak per kD of R3. Thus, for
example, R3 = 50 kD would produce approximately
± 3V sinusoidal output amplitude.
CAUTION: AM control must be used in conjunction
with a well-regulated supply, since the output amplitude
now becomes a function of V + .

SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
APPLICATIONS
The XR-2207 utilizes four main functional blocks for frequency generation. These are a voltage controlled oscillator (VCO), four current switches which are activated
by binary keying inputs, and two buffer amplifiers for triangle and squarewave outputs. The VCO is actually a
current controlled oscillator which gets its input from
the current switches. As the output frequency is proportional to the input current, the VCO produces four discrete output frequencies. Two binary input pins determine which timing currents are channelled to the VCO.
These currents are set by resistors to ground from each
of the four timing terminals.

PRECAUTIONS
nent damage to the device may occur if the total
timing current exceeds 10 mAo
2. Terminals 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, and 7 have very low internal
impedance and should, therefore, be protected from
accidental shorting to ground or the supply voltages.
3. The keying logic pulse amplitude should not exceed
the supply voltage.
The following precautions should be observed when operating the XR-2207 family of integrated circuits:
1. Pulling excessive current from the timing terminals
will adversely effect the temperature stability of the
circuit. To minimize this disturbance, it is recommended that the total current drawn from pins 4, 5,
6, and 7 be limited to s6 mAo In addition, perma·

BIAS FOR SINGLE SUPPLY (PIN 11)
For single supply operation, pin 11 should be externally
biased to a potential between V + 13 and V + 12 volts
(see Figure 2). The bias current at pin 11 is nominally
5 % of the total oscillation timing current, IT-
SINGLE SUPPLY OPERATION
The circuit should be interconnected as shown in Figure 11 for single supply operation. Pin 12 should be
grounded, and pin 11 biased from V + through a resistive divider to a value of bias voltage between V + 13
and V + 12. Pin lOis bypassed to ground through a 1 ,..F
capacitor.
GROUND (PIN 10)
For split supply operation, this pin serves as circuit
ground. For single supply operation, pin 10 should be
ac grounded through a 1 ,..F bypass capacitor. During
split supply operation, a ground current of 21T flows out
of this terminal, where IT is the total timing current.
For single supply operation, the dc voltage at pin 10
and the timing terminals (pins 4 through 7) are equal
and approximately O.SV above VB, the bias voltage at
pin 11. The logiC levels at the binary keying terminals
are referenced to the voltage at pin 10.
SQUAREWAVE OUTPUT (PIN 13)
The squarewave output at pin 13 is a "open-collector"
stage capable of sinking up to 20 mA of load current.
RL serves as a pull-up load resistor for this output. Recommended values for RL range from 1 KO to 100 KO.
For a fixed frequency of f3 = 1/R3C, the external circuit connections can be simplified as shown in Figure
llb.
TRIANGLE OUTPUT (PIN 14)
The output at pin 14 is a triangle wave with a peak
swing of approximately one-half of the total supply voltage. Pin 14 has a very low output impedance of 100
and is internally protected against short circuits.

FREQUENCY CONTROL (SWEEP AND FM)
=
The frequency of operation is controlled by varying the
total timing current, IT, drawn from the activated timing
pins 4, 5, 6, or 7. The timing current can be modulated
by applying a control voltage, Ve, to the activated timing pin through a series resistor Re as shown in Figures
12 & 13.
The voltage to frequency conversion gain, K, is controlled by the series resistance Re and can be expressed as:
K = ~ = - __l-Hz/volt
tJoVe
For split supply operation, a negative control voltage,
Ve, applied to the circuits of Figures 15 & 16 causes
the total timing current, IT, and the frequency, to increase.
The circuit of Figure 12 can operate both with positive
and negative values of control voltage. However, for
positive values of Ve with small (RcJR3) ratio, the direction of the timing current IT is reversed and the oscillations will stop.
As an example, in the circuit of Figure 12, the binary
keying inputs are grounded. Therefore, only timing pin
6 is activated.
The frequency of operation, normally f =
R~e'
Figure 13 shows an alternate circuit for frequency control where two timing pins, 6 and 7, are activated. The
frequency and the conversion gain expressions are the
same as before, except that the circuit would operate
only with negative values of Ve. For Ve > 0, pin 7 becomes deactivated

with Figure 11. For a "high" logic level at pin 8, the timing resistors Rl and R2 are activated. Similarly, for a
"low" logic level, timing resistors R3 and R4 are enabled.
CAUTION
For operation of the circuit, total timing current IT must
be less than 6 mA over the frequency control range.
The "high" and "low" logic levels at pin 9 determine
the respective high and low frequencies within the selected FSK channel.
OUTY CYCLE CONTROL
The duty cycle of the output waveforms can be controlled by frequency shift keying at the end of every half
cycle of oscillator output. This is accomplished by con·
necting one or both of the binary keying inputs (pins 8
or 9) to the squarewave output at pin 13. The output
waveforms can then be converted to positive or negative pulses and sawtooth waveforms.
Recommended component values for various commonly used FSK frequencies are given in Table 1. When
only a single FSK channel is used, the remaining channel can be deactivated by connecting pin 8 to either
V+ or ground. In this case, the unused timing resistors
can also be omitted from the circuit.
The low and high frequencies, fl and f2' for a given
FSK channel can be fine tuned using potentiometers
connected in series with respective timing resistors. In
fine tuning the frequencies, f1 should be set first with
the logic level at pin 9 in a "low" level.
Figure 14 is the recommended circuit connection for
duty cycle control. Pin 8 is shorted to pin 13 so that the
circuit switches between the "0,0" and the "1,0" logic
states given in Figure 11. Timing pin 5 is activated
when the output is "high," and the timing pin is activated when the squarewave output goes to a low state.
Typical frequency drift of the circuit for O°C to 75°C operation is ±0.2%. Since the frequency stability is directly related to the external timing components, care
must be taken to use timing components with low temperature coefficients.
The duty cycle of the output waveforms is given as:
Duty Cycle =

R2 + R3

The XR-2207 can be used in conjunction with the XR210, FSK demodulator, to form a full-duplex FSK transceiver, or modem. A recommended circuit connection

the recommended component values for 300-Baud

The frequency can be modulated or swept without

SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
The XR-2209 preciSion oscillator is comprised of three
functional blocks: a variable frequency oscillator which
generates the basic periodic waveforms and two buffer
amplifiers for the triangle and the squarewave outputs.
The oscillator frequency, set by an external capacitor,
C, and the timing resistor, R, operates over 8 frequency
decades, from 0.01 Hz to 1 MHz. With no sweep signal
applied, the frequency of oscillation is equal to 1IRC.

3. Triangle waveform linearity is sensitive to parasitic
coupling between the square and the triangle-wave
outputs (pins 7 and 8). In board layout or circuit wiring care should be taken to minimize stray wiring capacitances between these pins.
PRECAUTIONS
The following precautions should be observed when operating the XR-2209 family of integrated circuits:
1. Pulling excessive current from the timing terminal
will adversely effect the temperature stability of the
circuit. To minimize this disturbance, it is recommended that the total current drawn from pin 4 be
limited to s 6 mAo
2. Terminals 2, 3, and 4 have very low internal impedance and should, therefore, be protected from accidental shorting to ground or the supply Voltages.
DESCRIPTION OF CIRCUIT CONTROLS
TIMING CAPACITOR (PINS 2 and 3)
The oscillator frequency is inversely proportional to the

XR·2209
INSTRUCTIO~~S
SPLIT SUPPLY OPERATION
The recommended circuit for split supply operation is
shown in Figure 10. Diode 01 in the figure assures that
the triangle output swing at pin 8 is symmetrical about
ground. This circuit operates with supply voltages ranging from ±4V to ± 13V. Minimum drift occurs at ±6V
supplies. See Figure 3 for operation with unequal supplies.
TIMING RESISTOR (PIN 4)
The timing resistor determines the total timing current,
IT, available to charge the timing capacitor. Values for
the timing resistor can range from 1.5 KO to 2 MO; however, for optimum temperature and power supply stability, recommended values are 4 KO to 200 KO (see Figures 4,7, and 8). To avoid parasitic pick up, timing resistor leads should be kept as short as possible.
Simplified Connection
For operation with split supplies in excess of ± 7 volts,
the simplified circuit connection of Figure 11 can be
used. This circuit eliminates the diode 01 used in Figure 10; however the triangle wave output at pin 8 now
has a + 0.6 volt DC offset with respect to ground.
SUPPLY VOLTAGE (PINS 1 AND 6)
The XR-2209 is designed to operate over a power supply range of ±4V to ± 13V for split supplies, or 8V to
26V for single supplies. At high supply voltages, the frequency sweep range is reduced (see Figures 3 and 4).
Performance is optimum for ± 6V, or 12V single supply
operation.
SINGLE SUPPLY OPERATION
The recommended circuit connection for single-supply
operation is shown in Figure 9. Pin 6 is grounded; and
pin 5 is biased from V + through a resistive divider as
shown in the figure, and is bypassed to ground with a 1
,.,F capacitor.
BIAS FOR SINGLE SUPPLY (PIN 5)
For single supply operation, pin 5 should be externally
biased to a potential between V + 13 and V + 12 volts
(see Figure 9). The bias current at pin 5 is nominally 5%
of the total oscillation timing current, ITo at pin 4. This
pin should be bypassed to ground with 0.1 ,.,F capacitor.
For Single supply operation, the DC voltage at the timing terminal, pin 4, is approximately 0.6 volts above VB,
the bias voltage at pin 5.
The frequency of operation is determined by the timing
capacitor C and the timing resistor R, and is equal to 11
RC. The squarewave output is obtained at pin 7 and has
a peak-to-peak voltage swing equal to the supply voltage. This output is an "open-collector" type and requires an external pull-up load resistor (nominally 5 KO)
to V + . The triangle waveform obtained at pin 8 is centered about a voltage level Vo where:
SQUAREWAVE OUTPUT (PIN 7)
The squarewave output at pin 7 is a "open-collector"
stage capable of sinking up to 20 mA of load current.
RLserves as a pull-up load resistor for this output. Recommended values for RL range from 1 KO to 100 KO.
TRIANGLE OUTPUT (PIN 8)
The output at pin 8 is a triangle wave with a peak swing
of approximately one-half of the total supply voltage.
Pin 8 has a very low output impedance of 100 and is internally protected against short circuits.
Vo = VB + 0.6V
where VB is the bias voltage at pin 5. The peak-to-peak
output swing of triangle wave is approximately equal to
V+/2.

The frequency of operation is proportional to the total

timing current, and the frequency of operation can be
modulated by applying a control voltage, VC, to the timing pin, through a series resistor, RS, as shown in Figure 12. If Vc is negative with respect to VA, the voltage
level at pin 4, then an additional current 10 is drawn
from the timing pin causing IT to increase, thus increasing the frequency. Conversely, making Vc higher
than VA causes the frequency to decrease by decreasing IT.

XR·8038
Precision Waveform Generator
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
FUNCTIONAL BLOCK DIAGRAM
The XR-8038 is a precision waveform generator IC capable of producing sine, square, triangular, sawtooth
and pulse waveforms with a minimum number of external components and adjustments. Its operating frequency can be selected over nine decades of frequency, from 0.001 Hz to 1 MHz by the choice of external RC components. The frequency of oscillation is highly
stable over. a wide range of temperature and supply
voltage changes. The frequency control, sweep and
modulation can be accomplished with an external control voltage, without affecting the quality of the output
waveforms. Each of the three basic waveforms, i.e.,
sinewave, triangle and square wave outputs are available simultaneously, from independent output terminals.
ORDERING INFORMATION
The XR-8038 monolithic waveform generator uses advanced processing technology and Schottky-barrier diodes to enhance its frequency performance. It can be
readily interfaced with a monolithic phase-detector circuit, such as the XR-2208, to form stable phase-locked
loop circuits.

APPLICATIONS
The XR-8038 precision waveform generator produces

waves across nine frequency decades. The device
time base employs resistors and a capacitor for frequency and duty cycle determination. The generator
contains dual comparators, a flip-flop driving a switch,
current sources, a buffer amplifier and· a sine wave
converter. Three identical frequency waveforms are simultaneously available. Supply voltage can range from
10V to 30V, or ±5V with dual supplies.

Unadjusted sine wave distortion is typically less than
0.7%, with Pin 1 open and 8 kO from Pin 12 to Pin 11

slightly more convenient. If no adjustment of the duty
cycle is desired, terminals 4 and 5 can be shorted together, as shown in Figure 2c. This connection, however, carries an inherently larger variation of the dutycycle.
The symmetry of all waveforms can be adjusted with
the external timing resistors. Two possible ways to accomplish this are shown in Figure 2. Best results are
obtained by keeping the timing resistors RA and RB
separate (a). RA controls the rising portion of the triangle and sine-wave and the "Low" state of the square
wave.
With two separate timing resistors, the frequency is
given by
The magnitude of the triangle waveform is set at 1/3
Vee; therefore, the duration of the rising portion of the
triangle is:

The frequency of oscillation is independent of supply
voltage, even though none of the voltages are regulated
inside the integrated circuit. This is due to the fact that
both currents and thresholds are direct, linear function
of the supply voltage and thus their effects cancel.
Thus a 50% duty cycle is achieved when RA = RB.
If the duty-cycle is to be varied over a small range
about 50% only, the connection shown in Figure 2b is

DISTORTION ADJUSTMENT
To minimize sine-wave distortion the a1 kO resistor between pins 11 and 12 is best made a variable one. With
this arrangement distortion of less than 1 % is achievable. To reduce this even further, two potentiometers can
be connected as shown in Figure 3. This configuration
allows a reduction of sine-wave distortion close to
0.5%

FREQUENCY MODULATION AND SWEEP
The frequency of the waveform generator is a direct
function of the DC voltage at terminal a (measured from
+ Vee). By altering this voltage, frequency modulation
is performed.
For small deviations (e.g., ± 10%) the modulating signal can be applied directly to pin a by merely providing

external resistor between pins 7 and a is not necessary,
but it can be used to increase input impedance. Without it (I.e. terminals 7 and a connected together), the input impedance is akO); with it, this impedance increases to (R + akO).

For larger FM deviations or for frequency sweeping, the
modulating signal is applied between the positive supply voltage and pin a (Figure 4b). In this way the entire
bias for the current sources is created by the modulating signal and a very large (e.g., 1000:1) sweep range is
obtained (f = a at Vsweep = 0). eare must be taken,
however, to regulate the supply voltage; in this configuration the charge current is no longer a function of the
supply voltage (yet the trigger thresholds still are) and
thus the frequency becomes dependent on the supply
voltage. The potential on Pin a may be swept from Vec
to 2/3 Vee + 2V.

SELECTING TIMING COMPONENTS
For any given output frequency, there is a wide range of
Re combinations that will work. However certain constraints are placed upon the magnitude of the charging
current for optimum performance. At the low end, currents of less than 0.1 ,.A are undesirable because circuit leakages will contribute significant errors at high
temperatures. At higher currents (1 > 5 mAl, transistor
betas and saturation voltages will contribute increasingly larger errors. Optimum performance will be obtained for charging currents of 1 p. to 1 mAo If pins 7 and
a are shorted together the magnitude of the charging
current due to RA can be calculated from:

SINGLE-SUPPLY AND SPLIT-SUPPLY OPERATION
The waveform generator can be operated either from a
single power-supply (10 to 30 Volts) or a dual powersupply (± 5 to ± 15 Volts). With a single power-supply
the average levels of the triangle and sine-wave are at
exactly one-half of the supply voltage, while the squarewave alternates between + Vee and ground. A split
power supply has the advantage that all waveforms
move symmetrically about ground.
The square-wave output is not committed. A load resistor can be connected to a different power-supply, as
long as the applied voltage remains within the breakdown capability of the waveform generator (30V). In this
way, the square-wave output will be TIL compatible

GENERAL DESCRIPTION
FUNCTIONAL BLOCK DIAGRAM
The XR-8038A is a precision waveform generator IC capable of producing sine, square, triangular, sawtooth,
and pulse waveforms, with a minimum number of external components and adjustments. The 8038A allows
the elimination of the external distortion adjusting resistor which greatly improves the temperature drift of distortion, as well as lowering external parts count. Its operating frequency can be selected over nine decades
of frequency, from 0.001 Hz to 1 MHz, by the choice of
external R-C components. The frequency of oscillation
is highly stable over a wide range of temperature and
supply voltage changes. The frequency control, the
sweep, and the modulation can be accomplished with
an external control voltage, without affecting the quality of the output waveforms. Each of the three basic
waveform outputs, (Le., sine, triangle and square) are
simultaneously available from independent output terminals.

FEATURES
The XR-8038A preCision waveform generator produces
highly stable and sweepable square, triangle, and sine
waves across nine frequency decades. The XR-8038A
is an advanced version of the XR-8038, with improved
sine distortion temperature drift. The device time base
employs resistors and a capacitor for frequency and
duty cycle determination. The generator contains dual
comparators, a flip-flop driving a switch, current
sources, a buffer amplifier, and a sine wave convertor.
Three identical frequency outputs are simultaneously
available. Supply voltage can range from 10V to 30V, or
± 5V to ± 15V with dual supplies.

XR·2208
Operational Multiplier
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
FUNCTIONAL BLOCK DIAGRAM
The XR-2208 operational multiplier combines a fourquadrant analog multiplier (or modulator), a high frequency buffer amplifier, and an operational amplifier in
a monolithic circuit that is ideally suited for both analog
computation and communications signal processing
application. As shown in the functional block diagram,
for maximum versatility the multiplier and operational
amplifier sections are not internally connected. They
can be interconnected, with a minimum number of external components, to perform arithmetic computation,
such as multiplication, division, square-root extraction.
The operational amplifier can also function as a preamplifier for low-level input signals, or as a post detection amplifier for synchronous demodulator applications. For signal processing, the high frequency buffer
amplifier output is available at pin 15. This multiplier/
buffer amplifier combination extends the small signal
3-db bandwidth to 8-MHz and the transconductance
bandwidth to 100 MHz.

MULTIPLIER BANDWIDTH: Depending on the particular
application, a different definition of "multiplier band·
width" may be used. The most commonly accepted
definitions are:
Rf
~(volts)-1; Ka=<-6 + Ri
RxRy
a) 3-dB Bandwidth: Frequency where the multiplier
output is 3-dB below its low frequency (f = 20 Hz)
level.
where all resistors are in kO.
Thus, overall scale factor K can be adjusted by varying
Rx , Ry, Rf. For fine adjustment of the scale factor, K, an
additional potentiometer can be included into the cir·
cuit, as shown in Figure 14.
b)· 3° Phase Shift Bandwidth: Frequency where the net

d) Transconductance Bandwidth: Frequency where
the transconductance of the multiplier drops 3-dB

DESCRIPTION OF CIRCUIT CONTROLS
Pin 13 is the non-inverting and pin 14 the inverting inputs for the op amp section. In most multiplier applications, these terminals are connected to the multiplier
outputs (pins 1 and 2). Note: When the op amp section Is not
used, these terminals should be grounded.
MULTIPLIER INPUTS (PINS 3, 4, AND 5)
OP AMP COMPENSATION (PIN 12)
The X and Y inputs to the multiplier are applied to pins 3
and 5 respectively. The third input (pin 4) is common to
both X and Y portions of the multiplier, and in most applications serves as a "reference" or ground terminal.
The typical bias current at the multiplier inputs is 3 /LA
for the X- and Y- inputs and 6 /LA for the "common" terminal. In circuit applications such as "synchronous AM
detection" or "frequency doubling" where the same input signal is applied to both X and Y inputs, pin 4 can be
used as the input terminal since it is common to both X
and Y sections of the multiplier.
The op amp section can be compensated for unconditional stability with a 20 pF capacitor connected between pin 12 and pin 11. For op amp voltage gains
greater than unity, this compensation capacitance can
be reduced to improve slew rate and small signal bandwidth as shown in Figure 12.
OP AMP OUTPUT (PIN 11)
This terminal serves as the output for the op amp section. It is internally protected against accidental short
circuit conditions, and can sink or source 10 mA of current into a resistive load. In most multiplier applications,
pin 11 is the actual XR-2208 output, with the op amp inputs being connected to the multiplier outputs.
MULTIPLIER OUTPUTS (PINS 1 AND 2)
The differential output voltage, Vo , across these terminals is proportional to the linear product of voltages Vx
and Vy applied to the inputs. Vo can be expressed as:
Vo
BUFFER AMPLIFIER OUTPUT (PIN 15)
~ (R~~y) (VXvy)
The buffer amp is internally connected to the multiplier
section. The buffer amp has unity voltage gain, and provides a low-impedance output at pin 15 for the multiplier section. The buffer amp is particularly useful for high
frequency operation since it minimizes the capacitive
loading effects at the multiplier outputs.
where all voltages are in volts and the resistors are in
kO. Rx and Ry are the gain control resistors for X and Y
sections of the multiplier.
The buffer amplifier is activated by connecting a load
reSistor, R1, from pin 15 to ground. When it is not used,
pin 15 can be left open circuited. However, since the
buffer amplifier output is a low impedance pOint, reasonable care should be taken to avoid burnout due to
accidental short circuits. The maximum dc current
drawn from pin 15 should be limited to 10 mA. The dc
voltage at pin 15 is typically 4.5 volts below V + .
The common-mode dc potential at the multiplier outputs is approximately 3 volts below the positive supply.
One of the multiplier outputs (pin 1) is internally connected to the unity-gain buffer amplifier input for highfrequency applications.
In most analog computation operations, such as multiplication, division, etc., pins 1 and 2 are dc coupled to
the op amp inputs (pins 13 and 14). The final output, Vz,
is then obtained from the op amp output at pin 11, as
shown in Figure 14.
APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
PART I: ARITHMETIC OPERATIONS
X AND Y GAIN ADJUST (PINS 6, 7, B, 9)
Multiplication
The gains of the X and Y sections of the multiplier are
inversely proportional to resistors Rx and Ry connected
across the respective gain terminals. Tne multiplier
conversion gain, Km , can be expressed as:
Km
For most multiplication applications, the multiplier and
op amp sections are interconnected as shown in Figure
15 to provide a single-ended analog output with a wide
dynamic range. The circuit of Figure 14 provides a linear output swing of 10V for maximum input signals of
10V, with a scale factor K = 0.1. The trimming procedure for the circuit is as follows:
== ~ (volts)-1
RxRy
where Rx and Ry are in kO.
1. Apply OV to both inputs and adjust the output offset
to OV using the output offset control.
X AND Y OFFSET ADJUST (PINS 7 AND 8)
Two of the gain-control terminals, pins 7 and 8, are also
used for adjusting X and Y offsets. Figure 13 shows the
typical adjustment circuitry which can be connected to
these pins to nUll-out input offsets.
2. Apply 20V pop at 50 Hz to the X-input and OV to the
Y-input. Trim the V-offset adjust for minimum peak-topeak output.

3. Apply 20V p.p to the Y·input and OV to the X-input.
Trim X-offset adjust for minimum peak-to-peak output.
Recommended circuit connection for performing analog division is shown in Figure 16. This circuit uses the
multiplier in the feedback path of the op amp. For the
circuit shown, Vo = + 10 Vz/Vx where Vx < 0 and Vz
can have either sign. Positive values of Vx are not allowed, since this will reverse the polarity of the feedback loop, causing positive feedback and latchup.
4. Repeat step 1.
5. Apply + 10V to both inputs and adjust scale factor
for Vo = + 10V. This step may be repeated with different amplitudes and polarities of input voltages to
optimize accuracy over the entire range of input
voltages, or over any specific portion of input voltage range.
This latchup mode is nondestructive to the XR-2208,
and is common to all analog division circuits. The divide
circuit is trimmed as follows:
Squaring Circuit
1. Apply Vz = 0 and trim the output offset adjustment
for constant output voltage as Vx is varied from - 1V
to -10V.
The recommended circuit connection for squaring applications is shown in Figure 15. This circuit is the same
as the basic multiplier circuit with both inputs tied together, except only one input offset adjustment is necessary. Trimming procedure for the squaring circuit is
as follows:
2. Keeping Vz = 0, and applying Vx = -10V, trim the
Y-offset adjust until Vo = O.
1. Apply 0 volts to the input and adjust the output offset
to zero.
3. Let Vz = Vx and/or Vz = - Vx and trim the X-offset
adjustment for constant output voltage as Vx is varied from -1V to -10V.
2. Apply 1.0V to the input and adjust the Y-offset until
Vo = 0.10V.
4. Repeat steps 1 and 2 if step 3 required a large initial
adjustment.
3. Apply 10V to the input and adjust the scale factor
until Vo = + 10V.
5. Keeping Vz = Vx , adjust the scale factor trim for Vo
-10V as Vx is varied from - 1V to - 10V.
4. Apply -10V to the input and check that Vo = + 10V.
If not, repeat steps 1 through 3. Some compromise
may be necessary in scale factor adjustments given
in steps 3 and 4.

Square Root Circuit
This is essentially the dividing circuit with the X input
tied to the output. Thus, the voltage on the Z input is divided by the output voltage, i.e. the output is proportional to the square root of the input. A diode is included in
series with the output to prevent a latchup condition
which would result if Vz were allowed to go negative.
The square root circuit may be trimmed as a divider by
disconnecting the X-input from the output, keeping Vz
> 0 and Vx < O. The square root circuit may also be
trimmed in the closed-loop mode by the following procedure:

SYNCHRONOUS AM DETECTION
Figure 18 is a typical circuit connection for synchronous AM detection for carrier frequencies up to 100
MHz. The AM input signal is applied to the multiplier
"common" terminal (pin 4). The Y-gain terminals are
shorted, and this section of the multiplier serves as a
"limiter" for input signals O!: 50 mVrms; the X-section of
the multiplier operates in its linear mode. The low-pass
filter capacitors, Cl, at pins 1 and 2 are used to filter
the carrier feedthrough. If deSired, the op amp section
can be used as an audio preamplifier to increase the
demodulated output amplitude.
4. Repeat steps 1 through 3 until desired accuracy is
achieved.
EQUIVALENT SCHEMATIC DIAGRAM
TRIANGLE-TO-SINEWAVE CONVERSION
A triangular input can be converted into a low distortion
(THO < 1 %) sinusoidal output with the XR-2208. A recommended connection for this application is shown in
Figure 19. The triangle input signal is applied to the
X-input (pin 3). The multiplier section rounds off the
peaks of this input and converts it to a low distortion
sine wave. For the component values shown in Figure
19, the recommended input signal level at pin 3 is '"
300 mV pp in order to obtain a 2V pp sine wave output
at pin 15. This waveform can be further amplified using
the op amp section to provide high level (10V pp), low
distortion output at pin 11.
PART II: SIGNAL PROCESSING
AM GENERATION
Figure 17 is the recommended circuit connection for
generating double side-band (OSB) or suppressed carrier AM signals. Modulation and carrier inputs are applied to the X and Y inputs respectively. The carrier level at the output can be adjusted by the dc voltage applied to pin 3. For suppressed carrier operation, the
carrier feedthrough can be further reduced by using the
X and Y offset adjustments. In this application, the
unity-gain buffer amplifier section will provide a low impedance output if desired. If the buffer amp is not used,
pin 15 should be open circuited to reduce power dissipation.

Typical carrier suppression without offset adjustment is
40 dB for frequencies up to 1 MHz, and 30 dB for frequencies up to 10 MHz. For low frequency applications
(f < 10kHz), carrier suppression can be reduced to
60 dB by using the offset adjustment controls.

PART III: PHASE· LOCKED LODP APPLICATIONS
The XR-2208 can be used as a "quadrature detector" in
conjunction with monolithic PLL circuits to perform
phase-locked AM demodulation and for carrier-level detection. Figure 23 shows a recommended circuit connection for such applications. The XR-210 or XR-215
monolithic PLL circuits can be adjusted to lock on the
desired input AM signal and re-generate the unmodulated carrier. This carrier frequency appears across the
timing capacitor, Co' of the PLL and is used as the "reference input" to the XR-220B multiplier. The AM signal
is applied simultaneously to the PLL input and to the
XR-2208 multiplier input (pin 3), as shown in Figure 23.
MOTOR SPEED CONTROL
A motor speed control where the frequency of the motor is "phase-locked" to the input reference frequency,
fr' is shown in Figure 21. The multiplier section of the
XR-2208 is used as a phase-comparator, comparing the
phase of the tachometer output signal with the phase of
the reference input. The resulting error voltage across
pins 1 and 2 is low-pass filtered by capaCitors C1 and
amplified by the op amp section. This error signal is
then applied to the motor field-winding to phase-lock
the motor speed to the input reference frequency.
The demodulated signal is then low-pass filtered by capacitor C1 at the multiplier output, and can be amplified
further to the desired audio level by using the op amp
section of the XR-2208.
In the carrier detector applications, the op amp is used
as a voltage comparator and produces a "high" or
"low" level logic signal at the op amp output when the
input carrier level reaches a detection threshold level
set by an external potentiometer. The output from the
carrier detector can then be used to enable the "Iogicoutput" stage of the XR-210 FSK modem.
The phase-locked AM or carrier detector system of Figure 23 shows a high degree of frequency selectivity, as
determined by the monolithic PLL "capture" bandwidth.
Figure 21. Motor Speed Control Circuit
PRECISION PLL
A precision phase-locked loop may be constructed using an XR-2207 voltage controlled oscillator and an
XR-2208. (See Figure 22.) Due to the excellent temperature stability and wide sweep range of the XR-2207 this
PLL circuit exhibits especially good stability of center
frequency and wide lock range. In this application the
XR-2208 serves as a phase comparator and level shifter. Resistor RL adjusts the loop gain of the PLL, thus
varying the lock range. Tracking range may be varied
from about 1.5:1 up to 12:1. For large values of RL, temperature stability of center frequency is better than
30 ppm/oC.

X AND Y GAIN ADJUST (PINS 6, 7, 8, 9): The gains of the X

Km , can be expressed as:
INPUT DYNAMIC RANGE: The maximum peak signal
which can be applied to the X or Y inputs for a given
supply voltage without impairing linearity. (See Figure
10).
MULTIPLIER BANDWIDTH: Depending on the particular
application, a different definition of "multiplier bandwidth" may be used. The most commonly accepted
definitions are:
Km ==
where Rx and Ry are in kll,
X AND Y OFFSET ADJUST (PINS 7 AND 8): Two of the gaincontrol terminals, pins 7 and 8, are also used for adjusting X and Y offsets. Figure 13 shows the typical adjustment circuitry which can be connected to these pins to
null-out input offsets.
b) 3° Phase Shift Bandwidth: Frequency where the net
phase shift across the multiplier is equal to 3°.
c) 1 % Absolute Error Bandwidth: Frequency where the
phase vector error between the actual and ideal output vectors is equal to 1 %. This frequency is
reached when the net phase shift across the multiplier is equal to 0.01 radian or 0.57°.
OP AMP INPUTS (PINS 13 AND 14): Pin 13 is the noninverting and pin 14 the inverting inputs for the op amp section. In most multiplier applications, these terminals are
connected to the multiplier outputs (pins 1 and 16).
Note: When the op amp section is not used, these terminals
should be grounded.
d) Transconductance Bandwidth: Frequency where the
transconductance of the multiplier drops 3-dB below
its low frequency value. This bandwidth defines the
frequency range of operation for phase-detector and
synchronous AM detector applications.
OP AMP COMPENSATION (PIN 12): The op amp section
can be compensated for unconditional stability with a
20 pF capacitor connected between pin 12 and pin 11.
For op amp voltage gains greater than unity, this compensation capacitance can be reduced to improve slew
rate and small signal bandwidth as shown in Figure 12.
DESCRIPTION OF CIRCUIT CONTROLS
MULTIPLIER INPUTS (PINS 2, 3, 4 AND 5): These four terminals provide the differential inputs to the X- and
Y-sections of the multiplier, respectively. The output will
be a linear product of the two voltages, Vx and Vy, ap·
plied differentially across pins (2,3) and (4,5). Typical input bias current at the multiplier inputs is approximately
3 "A, for each of the four inputs. In circuit applications
requiring single-ended, rather than differential, input
Signals, pins 3 and 4 can be shorted together and connected to a common bias point.
OP AMP OUTPUT (PIN 11): This terminal serves as the
output for the op amp section .It is internally protected
against accidental short circuit conditions, and can
sink or source 10 mA of current into a resistive load. In
most multiplier applications, pin 11 is the actual
XR-2228 output, with the op amp inputs being connected to the multiplier outputs,

MULTIPLICATION
For most multiplication applications, the multiplier and
op amp sections are interconnected as shown in Figure
14 to provide a Single-ended analog output with a wide
dynamic range. The circuit of Figure 14 provides a linear output swing of 10V for maximum input Signals of
10V, with a scale factor K = 0.1. The trimming procedure for the circuit is as follows:
(VxVy)
where all voltages are in volts and the resistors are in
kll. Rx and Ry are the gain control resistors for X and Y
sections of the multiplier.
1. Apply OV to both inputs and adjust the output offset
to OV using the output offset control.

2. Apply 20V pop at 50 Hz to the X-input and OV to the

In most analog computation operations, such as multiplication, division, etc., pins 1 and 16 are dc coupled to
the op amp inputs (pins 13 and 14). The final output, Vz ,
is then obtained from the op amp output at pin 11, as
shown in Figures 14 and 15.

PART II: ANALOG SIGNAL PROCESSING
PHASE DETECTION
The multiplier section of the XR-2228 can be used as a
linear phase-discriminator. A recommended circuit connection for this application is shown in Figure 16. In this
case, the reference input (input 1) is applied to pin 2,
and the input signal whose phase is to be detected (input 2) is applied to pin 5. For input signal amplitudes
0!:50 mV rms, the differential output voltage, Vo across
pins 1 and 16 is directly proportional to the phase difference, >, between the two input signals. It can be expressed as

Figure 19. The triangle input signal is applied to the
X-input (pin 2). The multiplier section rounds off the
peaks of this input and converts it to a low distortion
sine wave.
The capacitors C1 at pins 1 and 16 provide a low-pass
filter with a time constant T { = A1 C1, where A1 = 5
kO is the international impedance level at these pins.
If needed, the phase conversion gain can be increased
by using the op amp section of the XA-2228 to further
amplify the output voltage, Vo("'). The XA-2228 is suitable for phase detection of input frequencies up to 100
MHz.
For the component values shown in Figure 19, the recommended input signal level at pin 2 is ==300 mV pp, in
order to obtain a 2V pp Signal at pins 1 or 16, with AX
set at approximately 1000. The dc level at pin 5 can be
used for adjusting the output amplitude, or providing
amplitude modulation. The sensitivity of the output amplitude to the dc voltage level at pin 5 is inversely proportional to the external resistor across pins 6 and 7.
SYNCHRONOUS AM DETECTION
Figure 17 is a typical circuit connection for synchronous AM detection for carrier frequencies up to 100
MHz. The AM input signal is applied to the multiplier Xand Y-input terminals (pins 3 and 4) simultaneously.
If higher amplitude output signal is required, the op
amp section of XA-2228 can be used to provide additional amplification.
The Y-gain terminals (pins 6 and 7) are shorted, and this
section of the multiplier serves as a "limiter" for input
signals 2: 50 mVrms; the X-section of the multiplier operates in its linear mode. The low-pass filter capacitors,
C1, and at pins 1 and 16 are used to filter the carrier
feedthrough. If desired, the op amp section can be
used as an audio preamplifier to increase the demodulated output amplitude.

PHASE-LOCKED AM DETECTION

PRECISION PHASE-LOCKED LOOP DESIGN
Figure 18. !'recision PLL
A preCision phase-locked loop may be constructed using an XA-2209 voltage controlled oscillator and an
XA-2228. (See Figure 18.) Due to the excellent temperature stability and wide sweep range of the XA-2209 this
PLL circuit exhibits especially good stability of center
frequency and wide lock range. In this application the
XA-2228 serves as a phase comparator and level shifter. Resistor AL adjusts the loop gain of the PLL, thus
varying the lock range. Tracking range may be varied
from about 1.5: 1 up to 12: 1. For large values of AL, temperature stability of center frequency is better than 30
ppm/cC.

XR·2228
Figure 20 shows the circuit connection diagram for a
two-chip AM and FM detection system, using the
XR-215 high-frequency PLL in conjunction with the
XR-222B multiplier/detector. Because of the highfrequency capability of the XR-215, the circuit is useful
as a phase-locked AM detector for carrier frequencies
up to 20 M Hz, and operates over a supply voltage range
of 10V to 20V.
The VCO section of XR-215 does not have a separate
"quadrature" output. However, this problem can be
overcome by driving the XR-222B multiplier directly
from the timing capacitor terminals (pins 13 and 14) of
XR-215. The Y-input of the XR-222B is operated with
maximum gain, since the Y·gain control terminals (pins
6 and 7) are shorted together. This causes the triangu,
lar waveform across the timing capacitor, CO, to be converted to an effective "quadrature" drive.
Figure 20. Phase-Locked AM Detection Using XR-215
Monolithic PLL and XR-2228 Multiplier/Detector
The Y-inputs (pins 4 and 5) are driven differentially from
the VCO timing capacitor Signal (available at pins 13
and 14 of the PLL IC) which is AC coupled to pins 4 and
5 of the XR-2228 multiplier input. the differential DC
voltage level at the multiplier output terminals (pins 1
and 16) is offset by means of an external resistor, RA.
This initial offset causes the op amp output of the XR·
2228 to settle to a known state when there is no carrier
or tone signal to be detected. With the op amp input
connections as shown in Figure 21, the op amp output
(pin 11) would be at a "low" state when the PLL is not
locked on a tone, and goes to a "high" state (i.e., near
+ VCC) when the PLL circuit is "locked" on to an input
tone. The output logic polarity can be reversed simply
by reversing the op amp inputs.
The modulated input signal is simultaneously applied to
both circuits through coupling capacitors. The phasedetector inputs of the XR-215, as well as the multiplier
X-inputs of the XR-2228, are biased at approximated
one-half of VCC, by means of an external resistive divider.
In Figure 20, Co sets the VCO frequency of the XR-215.
In the case of FM demodulation, R1 and C1 serve as
the post-detection filter for the detected FM signal and
RF1 sets the gain of the FM post-detection amplifier.
The Y·input of the XR-2228 is operated in its switching
mode, with the Y-gain terminals (pins 6 and 7) shorted
together. The AM and/or FM signal is simultaneously
applied to both circuits through coupling capacitors;
the output of the multiplier, at pin 16, is AC coupled to
the op amp section of the XR-2228, which serves as the
post·detection amplifier for the demodulated AM signal.
In the circuit, RX sets the amplifier demodulation gain,
C3 serves as the low· pass post·detection filter.
The filter capacitor, CA, connected across pins 1 and
16 of the multiplier outputs, serves as the postdetection low-pass filter. The value of CA is chosen to
provide a compromise between the response time and
the spurious noise rejection characteristics of the circuit: increasing CA improves the noise rejection characteristics of the Circuit, but slows down the response
time.
A detailed description of the principle of operation of
the circuit of Figure 21 is given in Exar's Application
Note AN-12 entitled: "Designing High Frequency
Phase-Locked Loop Carrier-Detector Circuits".
A detailed description of the circuit operation, and the

APPLICATION INFORMATION
plate segments that are to remain constantly on are
tied to the V + line. All other plate connections are
switched by either the XR-2276 or some other means
(i.e., a selective switch for a Dolby symbol, etc.). The
o db point is adjusted for each device by the 10K pot
from pin 16 to ground.
Vacuum Fluorescent Displays: Vacuum fluorescent displays operate like vacuum tubes. The display consists
of a filament, a grid and several plates. Each segment
on the bar graph and the other symbols, reference numbers, etc., are plates coated with fluorescent material.
As with a vacuum tube, when the plate is at a potential
lower than that of the grid, no plate current flows and
the segment associated with that plate is cut off. When
the plate is at the same potential as the grid, electrons
flow from the filament to the plate, striking the fluorescent material, thus, causing it to glow. Most of the new
low voltage vacuum fluorescent displays operate with a
plate voltage of about 16V-18V, a filament voltage of 3V
rms and a filament current of about 100 mao
Design Example: Design a gain scaling and peak detector
circuit to drive the circuit in Figure 2, to yield an audio
level indicator with 0 db referenced to 1 mw into 6000.
The circuit should have an input impedance of 100 kO,
respond to frequencies from 50 Hz to 15 kHz, have an
output dc offset of 1.25V to bias the input of the
XR-2276 and operate from a single 16V supply. This circuit is shown in Figure 3.
XR-2276 Detailed Description: The XR-2276 contains an input buffer amplifier, a bias network and 12 comparators. The input buffer amplifier, pin 1, must be biased at
approximately + 1.25V under quiescent conditions. The
signal is then applied in addition to this bias voltage.
The full scale calibration of the XR-2276 can be fine
tuned by varying the bias voltage slightly.
The buffer amplifier is a high input impedance unity
gain amplifier that applies the input voltage to one input
of each of the twelve comparators.
The bias network consists of a voltage reference and a
string of weighted resistors which provide the threshold
voltages for the twelve comparators. The reference
voltage is adjustable by connecting a 10K trimpot from
pin 16 to ground. This feature allows a precise setting
of the 0 db point.
Figure 2. 2 Channel Display
Calculate the component values for the gain scaling
stage.
The rms voltage that corresponds to 1 mw in 6000 is:
Since decibels are ratios with respect to a reference
value, the threshold voltages determined by the resistor
string may not correspond to the desired reference. In
this case it will be necessary to scale the input signal
with either gain or attenuation to obtain the desired correspondence (see the design examples below).
...rPR = "(1
mw)(6000)
= .774 Vrms
Therefore
Vpeak = (1.414)(.774)Vrms = 1.095V
The comparators have a high open loop gain, NPN output transistors with 220K resistors connected from the
emitters to the ground terminal, pin 8, and a 1.5K resistor in series with the output.
The dc input voltage to the XR-2276 that gives a 0 db indication is 2.10V.
The gain required is 2.10/1.095 = 1.92. For a noninverting amplifier gain = 1 + RF/RS. If we choose,

Driving LED's with the XR-2276: LED's can be driven by
the XR-2276 provided care is taken not to exceed the
maximum power dissipation of the device. This can be
accomplished in two ways. First, the cathodes of the
display device can be multiplexed such that the total
current sourced by the XR-2276 at anyone time, does
not cause excessive power to be dissipated. An alternate method is to drive an external pass device, such
as an XR·2203, which in turn drives the LED's. In this
way the power dissipation is moved off of the XR-2276.
C3 = 1/2'/1"(50 Hz)(32K) == 0.1 p.F
The peak detector circuit provides full wave rectification of the incoming audio signal. A1 serves an inverting unity gain peak detector giving a positive output for
the negative half cycle of the incoming signal. A2
serves as a unity gain non-inverting peak detector giving a positive output for the positive half cycle of the incoming signal. 03 and 04 serve as rectifier diodes and
01 and 02 keep the feedback loops on A1 and A2, respectively, closed during the amplifiers non-rectifying
half cycle. R5 and R7 set the closed loop gain of A1 at
unity. RS and R7 together with C5 provide a filter for the
peak detector output. C5 can be adjusted to provide the
desired damping. R4, R6, C4, 05 and 06 prevent the input of A2 from being pulled below ground by the large
negative transients. R9 ' R10 and C6 establish the 1.25
volt (adjustable by R10) dc bias for the XR2276 input.
The operational amplifier chosen to be used in this circuit is the XR-3403. It has adequate ac performance
and is ideally suited to single supply operation, since its
common mode input voltage range includes ground.
Design Example: How many LED's can be driven simultaneously without exceeding the maximum power dissipation of 625 mw? VCC = + 1SV, TA = 25°C.
The 1.5K resistor in series with the output can be as
high as 3K and the no load output high voltage of the
XR·2276 should be '" Vee - 1V. If the forward voltage
on an LED is '" 1.7V, the current typically available to
drive the LED would be:
(1SV - 1V - 1.7V)/1.5K = 10.2 ma
(5.1 ma if the series resistor = 3K)
The total voltage across each output would be 16.3V.
The total. power dissipated per segment is:

The circuit in Figure 4 shows an acceptable method for
using the XR-2276 in conjunction with LED's.

GENERAL DESCRIPTION
FUNCTIONAL BLOCK DIAGRAM
The XR-2277 and XR-2278 are 12 point level detector
circuits designed for direct interfacing to light emitting
diode (LED) moving-dot or bar-graph displays. Each of
the circuits is comprised of an input buffer amplifier
and 12 comparators, biased from a resistor string at
logarithmic intervals. Accuracy is enhanced by an internal reference. Each comparator provides a high impedance current source output which are all very
closely matched and simultaneously adjustable with a
single external resistor. A control signal applied to the
mode select pin determines whether the display is driven in a moving-dot or bar-graph format.

SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
APPLICATIONS
The XR-2277 and XR-2278 are 12 point logarithmic level detectors and LED drivers. LED driving current is
provided by on board adjustable current sinks; no series limiting resistors are required. All LEOs receive
matched currents, ensuring equal brightness. The drivers can be programmed to source up to 22 mA.

Moving-dot Display Driver
Sequential Display Indicator
Audio Level Indicator
The LED current is set by a resistor from Pin 2 to
Ground. The zero dB reference is set by varying the bias on Pin 3. The output may be either moving dot (one
segment only) or bar mode (all segments up to the measured value illuminated). This is determined by Pin 18.
The XR-2277 provides 12 discrete outputs for an input
level range of - 30 dB to + 6 dB, referenced to an internally set zero dB level which is typically 0.2 VRMS. The
XR-2278 has similar electrical charcteristics, providing
a - 20 dB to + 8 dB input dynamic range referenced to
0.13 VRMS. Both parts operate from a nominal 12V
supply.

PRINCIPLES OF OPERATION
As shown in the equivalent circuit schematic of Figure
1, each circuit is comprised of 12 voltage comparators
with current source outputs. One input in each of the
comparators is connected to a common voltage line.
The input voltage, VIN, is applied to this signal line
through a buffer amplifier. The remaining input of each
of the comparators is biased from an internal resistor
ladder connected to a voltage reference on the IC chip.
Thus, each of the 12 ladder taps corresponds to the
particular output thresholds, listed as outputs one
through twelve, in the electrical characteristics.
shows the available output drive current, ILED, as a
function of R2.
Response Adjustment
Transient response of the circuit is adjusted by an external resistor, R5, and capacitor, C2, connected from Pin
4 to ground. Typical component values for audio frequency applications, from 20 Hz to 20 kHz, are: R5 =
10 kO and C2 = 10 p.F. The internal impedance at Pin 4
is approximately 100 ohms. C2 functions as a holding
capacitor of the internal peak rectifier circuit, with R5
controlling its decay time.
As the input voltage applied to the device is increased,
each of the 12 comparators in the chip changes state
sequentially at the time the input signal levels reach
their respective threshold levels. The current source
outputs of these comparators can directly drive LED
displays. The circuit can operate both in moving-dot or
bar-graph display format.
Scale Adjustment
The output thresholds for the XR-2277 or the XR-2278
are measured relative to an internal zero dB reference
level. Thus, for a given input signal dynamic range,
each circuit must be calibrated with respect to the zero
dB reference level setting. This calibration is performed
by adjusting the potentiometer, Rl, shown in Figure 2.
The scale adjustment is performed with an audio frequency ac signal applied to the circuit.
Figure 3 shows the typical output current waveforms
for operating in either the moving·dot or the bar-graph
modes. The mode of operation is selected by the logic
state at Pin 18. If this pin is grounded, the output display is in the moving-dot format where only one of the
current outputs is active at anyone time, depending on
the input signal level.
XR-2277
Step 1: Determine exact value of input voltage to produce zero dB output. This is done by increasing the ac
input Signal amplitude until Output 10 (Pin 7) begins
conduction.
If Pin 18 is left an open Circuit, then the IC operates as
a bar-graph display generator. In this mode of operation, the external LEOs are connected in series, in
groups of four to minimize power dissipation.
Step 2: Reduce input voltage level to - 27 dB referenced to the input level of Step 1. Adjust Rl until Output
1 (Pin 16) begins conduction.
The outputs of the comparators (4), (8), and (12), continue conducting in this manner as long as the voltage
level is above in respective threshold pOints.

As the input voltage applied to the device is increased,
each of the 12 comparators in the chip changes state
sequentially at the time the input signal levels reach
their respective threshold levels. The output currents of
the last four outputs (Pins 5 through 8) are set at onehalf the current output of the first eight outputs. This is
done to minimize power dissipation since the last four
outputs normally drive red LEDs to indicate "over·
range" condition. The red LEDs are normally more efficient than other colors and require approximately onehalf as much current for the same brightness.

All four channels of the XR·2284 are driven by a com·

channels in the IC. The XR·2284 and the XR·2288 are
designed for 360 volt ac plasma systems and have min·

The circuits can operate with ac toggle frequencies up

100 mA of capacitive load current. For proper opera·
tion, the substrate terminals of all drivers must be
grounded through an external disconnect diode, DX, as
shown in the schematic diagram.

FUNDAMENTALS OF AC PLASMA DISPLAYS
~n~ n~ ~
Ac plasma display offer significant advantages over
other alpha-numeric displays such as fluorescent or
LEO type panels. Some of these advantages are the
low cost of the display itself, its wide viewing angle, and
the ease of formatting in the selection of display seg·
ments and digits. Plasma systems typically require high
voltage (200V or higher) ac drivers operating at relatively high frequencies (100 kHz and up). Although the
plasma display panel is a capacitive load and does not
draw dc current, the display driver output is required to
provide a high output drive current (typically 50 to 100
mAl, during the rising and the falling edges of the toggle
voltage, so that the driver output can still follow the ac
toggle voltage at high frequencies.

The ac plasma displays normally require a net voltage
in excess of 200 volts across the display to turn it on. In
practice, this is achieved by "pulsing" the display with
two out-of-phase toggle voltages (VT), such that a net
peak-to-peak voltage of 2VT appears across the selected display portion to make it turn on. Thus, in controlling the plasma display, one must control the amplitude
of two peak-to-peak toggle swings, one on the
"segment-side" and the other on the "digit-side" of the
display, where each toggle swing is equal to only onehalf of the total voltage swing needed to light up the display. For example, for 240 volt ac plasma display systems, the toggle voltage used (VT) would be 120 volts;
and for 360 volt display systems, 180 volt toggle voltage
will be needed.

CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
Both the XR-2284 and the XR-2288 are multichannel
driver circuits, packaged in 14 and 20-pin dual·in-line IC
packages respectively. The XR-2284 is a four-channel
display driver, whereas the XR-2288 is an eight-channel
circuit, made up of two four·channel driver chips in the
same dual-in-line package. Thus, the XR-2288 has two
toggle voltage and substrate inputs; one for each of the
two four-channel IC chips sharing the same package.
PRINCIPLES OF OPERATION
The XR-2284 and the XR-2288 ac plasma display driver
circuits control the drive voltage applied to the segment
or the digit section of an ac plasma panel.
The equivalent circuit diagram for a typical driver channel is shown in the schematic. All the channels have
their own independent inputs and outputs, but share a
common toggle or clock input and a common substrate
or ground connection. The circuit is designed as a series connection of two controlled-switches, or SCR's.
The transistors, 03 and 02, form one of the controlledswitches, and 01 and 04, form the second controlledswitch. The internal junction capacitance, Cj, causes
Figure 3 shows the timing waveforms associated with
the ac plasma driver circuit, for the case of a 360 volt
display system (Le., VT = ±90V = 180V pp). In normal
operation, all of the driver channels are driven by a
common ac toggle voltage (VT) shown in Figure 3(a).
When the control input to a driver channel, Yin, is at
"high" state, as shown in Figure 3(b), its output would
be clamped nearly to ground and would follow the negative excursions of the toggle voltage, VT. This produces only 1/2 of the required peak-to-peak voltage
across the particular display segment, which is not
enough to light it. However, if Yin is at a "low" state, the
driver output, Vout, would be enabled and follow closely
the peak-to-peak excursions of the toggle voltage. This
would then cause the nearly full peak-to· peak swing of
the ac drive to appear across the selected display segment.

It should be noted that due to the external blocking diode Ox of Figure 1, the monolithic IC substrate is completely decoupled from ground during the negative excursion of the toggle voltage and the internal diode, 02,
of the schematic diagram causes the output to follow
the toggle voltage within one diode drop. In this manner, the IC has to withstand only one-half of the total ac
signal swing, or the one-fourth of the total voltage ap-

An external diode, Ox with a brekdown voltage ;;:Vr. is

(XR-2288) type, can be "stacked" to drive a large number of display segments or columns, with only one common blocking diode and a common toggle input, as

Operational Amplifiers
Fundamentals of Operational Amplifiers
The "ideal" operational amplifier can be defined as a
vOltage-controlled voltage amplifier circuit which offers
infinite voltage gains with an infinite input impedance,
zero output impedance, and infinite bandwidth. The advantage of such an idealized block of gain is that one
can perform a large number of mathematical "operations", or generate a number of circuit functions by applying passive feedback around the amplifier.
The key features of operational amplifier application
can be illustrated using the simple feedback circuit of
Figure 1, and assuming that the operational amplifier
has infinite gain and Infinite input impedance. Then, the
following two conditions have to be satisfied:
AS
+ o---vv-....--_---f
VIN
a) Since the voltage gain is infinite, the net voltage
across the input terminals of the operational amplifier must be zero, if the operational amplifier output
voltage is to be finite. In the circuit of Figure 1, this
causes the inverting input terminal of the operational amplifier to behave as a "virtual ground".
Figure 2. Basic Feedback Configuration Using an Operational
Amplifier With Finite Input Impedance and Gain
It should be noted that, for large values of RIN, as the
voltage gain increases (I.e. A ... co), this expression rapidly converges to that given in equation 2; and the circuit performance becomes solely determined by the external components.
b) Since the input impedance of the ideal operational
amplifier is infinite, no input current is drawn by the
operational amplifier, the total current going into the
circuit node connected to the inverting input of the
operational amplifier (node Q in Figure 1) must be
equal to the total current coming out, I.e.:
IS = -IF and VIN = _ Vo
RS
RF
In addition to having finite gain and input impedance,
an actual operational amplifier circuit also has finite input bias currents as well as input offset voltage and currents. A more complete model of a practical operational
amplifier is shown in Figure 3 where IB indicates the finite input bias currents: Via and lio represent the voltage and current offsets associated with the circuit and
RO is the output resistance. Due to non-zero values of
Via and lio in a practical operational amplifier circuit,
VOUT "" 0 for VIN = O.
(1)
Solving for the overall voltage gain, one obtains:

Because of this property, the noninverting input of
an operational amplifier is often referred to as its
"summing input".

In the case of actual operational amplifiers, both the
voltage gain and the input impedance are quite high,
but still finite. Figure 2 shows the same basic feedback
circuit assuming that the amplifier now has a finite input resistance, RIN, and a finite voltage gain A. For simplicity, the output impedance of the operational amplifier is assumed to be negligible. The overall voltage gain

!l)efirnuiooli1s of Operational Amplifier Terms
Since the operational amplifier has become a universal
building block for circuit and system design, a number
of widely accepted design terms have evolved which
describe the comparative merits of various operational
amplifiers. Some of these terms are defined below:
Output Voltage Swing: The peak output voltage swing, referred to zero, that can be obtained without clipping.
Large-Signal Voltage Gain: The ratio of the output voltage
swing to the change in input voltage required to drive
the output from zero to this voltage.
Input Offset Voltage: The input voltage which must be ap·
plied across the input terminals to obtain zero output
voltage.
Full-Power Bandwidth: Maximum frequency over which
the full output voltage swing can be obtained.
Input Offset Current: The difference of the currents into
the two input terminals with the output at zero volts.
Unity-Gain Bandwidth: Frequency at which the open loop
voltage gain is equal to unity.
Input Bias Current: The average of the two input currents.
Slew Rate: The maximum time rate of change of the output voltage, for a voltage step applied to the input. It is
normally measured at the zero crossing point of the
output voltage swing with the amplifier frequency compensated for unity gain.
Input Common-Mode Range: Maximum range of input voltage that can be simultaneously applied to both inputs
without causing cutoff or saturation of amplifier gain
stages.
Overload Recovery Time: Time required for the output
stage to return to active region, when driven into hard
saturation.
Common-Mode Rejection Ratio: Ratio of the differential
open-loop gain to the common-mode open·loop gain.
Gain Margin: The amount by which the voltage gain is
below the unity (0 dB) level, at the frequency where the
excess phase shift across the amplifier is exactly 180 0 •
It is measured in decibels, and must be positive for unconditional stability.
Supply Voltage Rejection Ratio: Input offset voltage
change per volt of supply voltage change.
Input Resistance: The ratio of the change in input voltage
to the change in input current on either input with the
other grounded.
Phase Margin: 180 0 minus the excess phase shift at the
Frequency where the magnitude of the open loop voltage gain is equal to unity. It is measured in degrees and
must be positive for unconditional stability.
Supply Current: The current required from the power
supply to operate the amplifier with no load and the output at zero.

Basic Applications of
Operational Amplifiers
The general usefulness of the operational amplifier
stems from the fact that when used in a feedback loop,
its overall performance and transfer characteristics are
determined almost totally by the choice of feedback
components. To be universally useful in such an application, the "ideal" operational amplifier should exhibit
infinite gain, infinite input impedance and infinite bandwidth. Although these are all idealized characteristics,
the practical monolithic operational amplifiers closely
approximate these features, particularly for low frequency applications.
the amplifier input without circuit adjustment, the
source resistance for both inputs should be equal. In
this case, the maximum offset voltage would be the algebraic sum of amplifier offset voltage and the voltage
drop across the source resistance due to offset current. Amplifier offset voltage is the predominant error
term for low source resistances, and offset current
causes the main error for high source resistances.
The availability and the low-cost of the integrated oper·
atlonal .ampllfier makes it an extremely versatile build·
ing block for analog system or equipment design.
Therefore, it is mandatory that the circuit designer be
familiar with the fundamental applications of operational amplifiers. This section of Exar's Operational Amplifier Data Book is intended to familiarize the designer with
some of the simple but fundamental circuit configurations using IC operational amplifiers. The discussion Is
slanted toward the practical applications of operational
amplifiers, as controlled by the external feedback circuitry. The particular operational amplifier parameters
will be discussed as they effect the circuit performance
and accuracy.
Figure 1. Inverting Amplifier
The integrated operational amplifiers shown in the figures are for the most part internally compensated, so
frequency stabilization components are not shown:
however, other amplifiers using external compensation
may be utilized to achieve greater operating speed in
many circuits.
In high source resistance applications, offset voltage at
the amplifier output may be adjusted by adjusting the
value of R3 and using the variation in voltage drop
across it as an input offset voltage trim.
The Inverting Amplifier
Offset voltage at the amplifier output is not as important
in AC coupled applications. Here the only consideration
is that any offset voltage at the output reduces the
peak-to-peak linear output swing of the amplifier.
The basic operational amplifier circuit is shown in Figure t. This circuit gives closed-loop gain of R2/Rt when
this ratio is small compared with the amplifier openloop gain and, as the name implies, is an inverting circuit. The input impedance is equal to Rt. The closedloop bandwidth is equal to the unity-gain frequency divided by one plus the closed-loop gain.
The gain-frequency characteristic of the amplifier and
its feedback network must be such that oscillation does
not occur. To meet this condition, the phase shift
through amplifier and feedback network must never exceed t80° for any frequency where the combined gain
of the amplifier and its feedback network is greater than
unity. In practical applications, the phase shift should
not approach t80° since this is the situation of conditional stability. Obviously, the most critical case occurs
when the attenuation of the feedback network is zero.
The only cautions to be observed are that R3 should be
chosen to be equal to the parallel combination of Rt
and R2 to minimize the offset voltage error due to bias
current; and that there will be a DC offset voltage error
due to bias current; and that there will be a DC offset
voltage at the amplifier output equal to closed-loop gain
times the offset voltage at the amplifier input.
Amplifiers which are not internally compensated may
be used to achieve increased performance in circuits
where feedback network attenuation is high, i.e., the
amount of feedback around the amplifier is low. The
compensation trade-off for a particular connection is
stability versus bandwidth. Larger values of compensation capacitor yield greater stability and lower bandwidth and vice versa.
Offset voltage at the input of an operational amplifier is
comprised of two components, these components are
identified in specifying the amplifier as input offset voltage and input bias current. The input offset voltage is
fixed for a particular amplifier; however, the contribution due to input bias current is dependent on the circuit configuration used. For minimum offset voltage at
1-264
The NDn-lnverting Amplifier
The cautions to be observed in applying this circuit are
as follows: the amplifier must be compensated for
unity-gain operation, and the output swing of the amplifier may be limited by the amplifier common-mode
range. The input signal swing should not exceed the input common-mode range, since this may cause a latchup condition.
Figure 2 shows a high input impedance non-inverting
circuit. This circuit gives a closed-loop gain equal to the
ratio of (R1 + R2) to R1. Its closed-loop 3-dB bandwidth
is equal to the amplifier unity-gain frequency divided by
the closed-loop gain.

Figure 3. Unity-Gain Buffer
Summing Amplifier
The summing amplifier, a special case of the inverting
amplifier, is shown in Figure 4. The circuit gives an inverted output which is equal to the weighted algebraic
sum of all three inputs. The gain of any input of this circuit is equal to the inverse ratio of the appropriate input
resistor to the feedback resistor, R4. Amplifier bandwidth may be calculated as in the inverting amplifier
shown in Figure 1 by assuming the input resistor to be
the parallel combination of R1, R2, and R3. Application
cautions are the same as those for the inverting amplifier. If an uncompensated amplifier is used, compensation is calculated on the basis of this bandwidth as is
discussed in the section describing the simple inverting
amplifier.
::Figure 2. Non-Inverting Amplifier
The primary differences between this connection and
the inverting circuit are that the output is not inverted
and that the input impedance is very high and is equal
to the differential input impedance multiplied by loop
gain (open-loop gain/closed-loop gain). In DC coupled
applications, input impedance is not as important as input current and its voltage drop across the source resistance. To minimize the output error due to the input
bias current of the operational amplifier, (R1 + R2)
should be chosen equal to the source impedance of the
input signal. Applications cautions are the same for this
amplifier as for the inverting amplifier with one exception: the amplifier output will go into saturation if the input is allowed to float. This may be important if the amplifier must be switched from source to source. The
compensation trade off discussed for the inverting amplifier is also valid for this connection.

The Unity-Gain Buffer
The unity-gain buffer is shown in Figure 3. The circuit
gives the highest input impedance of any operational
amplifier circuit. Input impedance is equal to the differential input impedance multiplied by the open-loop
gain, in parallel with common mode input impedance.
The gain error of this circuit is equal to the reciprocal of
the amplifier open-loop gain or to the common-mode rejection, whichever is less. Input impedance is a misleading concept in a DC coupled unity-gain buffer. Bias
current for the amplifier will be supplied by the source
resistance and will cause an error at the amplifier input
due to its voltage drop across the source resistance.

easily.

feedback network, and R1C1 form a 6 dB per octave
roll-off network In the input network for a total high frequency roll-off of 12 dB per octave, to reduce the effect
of high frequency input and amplifier noise. ln addition
R1C1 and R2C2 form lead networks in the feedback
loop which, if placed below the amplifier unity-gain frequency, provide 90 0 phase lead to compensate the 90 0
phase lag of R2C1 and prevent loop instability.
The difference amplifier is the complement of the summing amplifier and allows the subtraction of two voltages or, as a special case, the cancellation of a single
common to the two inputs. This circuit is shown in Figure 5 and is useful as a computational amplifier, In making a differential to single-ended conversion, or in rejecting an unwanted common-mode signal.

Circuit bandwidth may be calculated in the same manner as for the inverting amplifier, but input impedance is
somewhat more complicated. Input impedance for the
two inputs is not necessarily equal: inverting input impedance is the same as for the inverting amplifier of
Figure 1 and the non inverting input impedance is the
sum of R3 and R4. Gain for either input is the ratio of R1
to R2 for the special case of a differential input singleended output where R1 = R3 and R2 = R4. The .general expression for gain is given in the figure. Compensation should be chosen on the basis of amplifier bandwidth.
Care must be exercised in applying this circuit since in·
put impedances are not equal for minimum bias current
error.

Figure 7. Practical Differentiator Circuit
The basic principle of a differentiator circuit is shown in
the simplified connection diagram of Figure 6. However, although mathematically accurate, this particular
connection is not directly useful in practice because it
is extremely susceptible to high frequency noise since
AC gain increases at the rate of 6 dB per octave. In addition, the feedback network of the differentiator made
up of the resistor R3 and the capacitor C3 is an RC low
pass filter which contributes goo phase shift to the loop
and may cause stability problems even with an amplifi·
er which is compensated for unity-gain.
Integrator Circuit
Figure 8 shows the basic circuit connection for performing the mathematical operation of integration. This
circuit is essentially a low-pass filter with a constant
frequency roll-off of - 6 dB per octave.
The circuit must be provided with an external method of
establishing initial conditions. This is shown in the figure as the double-pole, single-throw switch 81. When
81 is in position 1, the amplifier is connected in unitygain configuration, and capaCitor C1 is discharged, setting an initial condition of zero volts. When 81 is in posi-

The cautions to be observed with this circuit are two:
the amplifier used should generally be stabilized for

The simple low-pass filter is shown in Figure 9. This circuit has a 6 dB per octave roll-off after a closed-loop
3-dB point defined by fC. Gain below this corner frequency is defined by the ratio of R3 to R1. The circuit
may be considered as an AC integrator at frequencies

that of a single RC rather than an integral.

Current may be measured in two ways with an operational amplifier: the current may be converted into a
voltage with a resistor and then amplified or it may be
injected directly into a summing node. Converting into
voltage is undesirable for two reasons: first, an impedance is inserted into the measuring line causing an error; second, amplifier offset voltage is also amplified
with a subsequent loss of accuracy. The use of a
current-to-voltage converter avoids both of these problems.
scale factor of this circuit is R1 volts per ampere of current. The only conversion error in this circuit is the bias
current of the operational amplifier input which is
summed algebraically with the input current, liN. The
main design constraints are that scale factors must be
chosen to minimize errors due to bias current and since
voltage gain and source impedance are often indeterminate (as with photocells) the amplifier must be compensated for unity-gain operation.
The current-to-voltage converter is shown in Figure 11.
The input current is fed directly into the summing note,
and the amplifier output voltage changes to extract the
same current from the summing node through R1. The

Figures 12, 13, and 14 show three simple circuit config·
urations for voltage·controlled constant·current stages.
The circuit of Figure 12 is a basic current·sink circuit
which uses a pair of Darlington connected NPN transis·
tors external to the operational amplifier. Assuming that
the base current of T 1 is negligible compared to the
controlled current 10, the current of the output transis·
tors is equal to VIN/Rl.

Figure 14 shows an alternate approach to obtaining a
voltage·controlled current source which does not reo
quire additional active devices. The circuit provides an
output current proportional to the input voltage VIN. If
the resistors Rl through R4 are chosen to be equal and
much larger than R5, then the output current is:
10
The above expression assumes that the current
through R3 is much smaller than 10.

This circuit can supply an output current of either polarity, up to the maximum positive or negative output cur·
rent available from the operational amplifier. The maxi·
mum voltage compliance of the output is limited by the
output swing of the operational amplifier minus the volt·
age drop across the sensing resistor, R5.

state until the voltage at its input again reverses. The
complete circuit operation may be understood by examining the operation with the output of the threshold detector in the positive state. The detector positive saturation voltage is applied to the integrator summing junction through the combination R3 and R4 causing the
current IA to flow.
A constant amplitude triangular wave generator is
shown in Figure 15. This circuit provides a variable frequency triangular wave whose amplitude is independent of frequency. This entire circuit can be built inexpensively, using a dual operational amplifierlC, such as
the XR-4558.
The integrator then generates a negative-going ramp
with a rate of IA/C1 volts per second until its output
equals the negative trip point of the threshold detector.
The threshold detector then changes to the negative
output state, and supplies a negative current, IB, at the
integrator summing point. The integrator now generates
a positive-going ramp with a rate of IB/C1 volts per second until its output equals the positive trip point of the
threshold detector, where the detector again changes
output state and the cycle repeats.
INTEGRATOR
C1
Triangular wave frequency is determined by R3, R4 and
C1 and the positive and negative saturation voltages of
the amplifier A1. Amplitude is determined by the ratio of
R5 to the combination of R1 and R2 and the threshold
detector saturation voltages. Positive and negative
ramp rates are equal and positive and negative peaks
are equal if the detector has equal positive and negative saturation voltages. The output waveform may be
offset with respect to ground if the inverting input of the
threshold detector, A1, is offset with respect to ground.

The generator embodies an integrator as a ramp generator and a threshold detector with hysteresis as a reset
circuit. The integrator has been described in a previous
section and requires no further explanation. The threshold detector is similar to a Schmitt trigger in that it is a
latch circuit with a large dead zone. This function is implemented by using positive feedback around an operational amplifier. When the amplifier output is in either
the positive or negative saturated state, the positive
feedback network provides a voltage at the noninverting input which is determined by the attenuation
of the feedback loop and the saturation voltage of the
amplifier. To cause the amplifier to change states, the
voltage at the input of the amplifier must be caused to
change polarity by an amount in excess of the amplifier
input offset voltage. When this is done, the amplifier
saturates in the opposite direction and remains in that
The generator may be made independent of temperature and supply voltage if the detector is clamped with
matched zener diodes.
The integrator section should be compensated for
unity-gain. The detector section may require compensation if power supply impedance causes oscillation
during its transition time. The current into the integrator
should be large with respect to the input bias current
for maximum symmetry; and offset voltage should be
small with respect to peak output voltage swing.

Choosing the Right Op Amp
Because of its versatility and ease of application, the
op-amp is often the easiest active component to design
into the circuit. However, once the initial "paper design" is accomplished, the user is faced with the key
question: which op-amp is the best choice for the particular application? The availability of a very wide
choice of IC op-amps of varying part numbers, types
and features does not make the answer to this question
an easy one. If the op-amp characteristics are not carefully considered, the total system performance may be
degraded: similarly if each op-amp is overspecified with
an excessive amount of "overkill" for the particular application, then the system cost will increase unnecessarily. The key selection criteria is finding the lowest
cost operational amplifier which will be sufficient to
meet the system performance requirements. This section provides a brief summary of various classes of IC
op-amps, their features and key applications, to assist
the user in choosing the most cost-effective operational
amplifier for his application.
they can be operated with a single positive supply, and
still be able to detect or sense small signals near
ground potential. The particular circuit recommended
for this application is Exar's XR-3403 quad operational
amplifier.
Programmable Op-Amps
Programmable op-amps allow the user to "program" or
set the operating current levels within the IC op-amp by
means of an external setting reSistor, and thus be able
to trade-off power dissipation for slew-rate or signal
bandwidth. These Circuits are normaHy available in
quad form, where the power levels of all or some of the
op-amps in the package can be programmed by one or
two external setting resistors. The key areas of applications for programmable op-amps are active filters and
telecommunication channel filters where the user is
normally concerned with power dissipation. These opamps can also be programmed to operate at micropower levels, by the choice of external setting resistors.
General Purpose Op-Amps
The programmable quad operational amplifiers are
available with either one or two separate setting controls. Those with a single setting control have all four of
the operational amplifiers programmed from same current setting control. Those with two setting controls
have the four op-amps on the chip programmed either
in groups of two, or in groups of one and three op-amps.
The advantage of partitioned programming is that some
of the op-amps in the IC package can be operated at a
different power or bandwidth level than the rest of the
op-amps in the same chip. For example, in an active filter application, the three op-amps performing the filtering can be operated at a low-power level, yet the fourth
op-amp which may be serving as an output buffer can
be operated at a higher power level to provide loaddrive capability.
A wide variety of op-amp applications such as lowfrequency amplifiers, active filters, vOltage-to-current
converters and voltage regulators are most economically accomplished using the low-cost general purpose
IC op-amps. These op-amps are almost all variations of
the basic 741-type op-amp, and offer significant cost
savings over any special-purpose op-amps. They are
commercially available in Single, dual or quad versions.
The dual and quad op-amps are particularly costeffective for applications such as active filters which require a multiplicity of op-amps. The cost per op-amp is
usually lower if one can use multiple op-amp IC's rather
than single op-amps.
The single and dual general purpose op-amps are available in both internally compensated and uncompensated versions. The quad op-amps are almost invariably internally compensated, to reduce the IC package pin
count. Most general purpose IC op-amps have comparable electrical characteristics, namely open loop gain
of ;:: 20 mVIV, small-signal unity gain bandwidth of 1 to
2 MHz and a slew rate of '" 1V/p.sec.
Exar offers the broadest product line of programmable
op-amps in the industry: The XR-4202, XR-146 and the
XR-346-2 families of op-amps are all-bipolar programmable quad op-amp circuits. The XR-4202 offers a single current-setting control for all of the four op-amps on
the chip; the XR-146 and the XR-346-2 offer partitioned
programming of the four op amps. The XR-094 and
XR-095 families are programmable FET-input quad opamps which have the same pin configuration as the
XR-146 and the XR-346-2 families, respectively. These
programmable FET-input quad op-amps are fabricated
using Exar's ion-implanted bipolar/FET or BIFET process technology which combines matched junction
FETs and high-performance bipolar transistors on the
same chip.
Exar manufactures a wide choice of dual or quad general purpose op-amps. All of these op-amps are internally compensated to make them cost-effective and reduce the external parts count. Exar's general purpose
op-amps recommended for most applications are
XR-1458 and XR-4558 for duals, and XR-4136, XR-4212
and XR-4741 for quad op-amps.
Ground Sansing Op-Amps
FET-Input Op-Amps
These types of op-amps have an input stage commonmode range which extends all the way to the negative
supply rail. This is obtained by using Darlingtonconnected PNP transistors at the input stage of the opamp. The key advantage of this class of op-amps is that
Finite input impedance or input bias currents associated with conventional bipolar op-amps can be a problem in specific applications such as sample-hold circuits or signal sensing applications from high1-270
impedance signal source such as transducer systems.
For such applications, op-amps with junction-FET input
stages offer significant performance advantages since
they offer input resistances of the order of 10 12 ohms,
and input bias currents in the low pi co-ampere range.
Another unique feature of FET-input op-amps is their
high slew-rate and wide bandwidth. For example, most
FET-input op-amps offer slew-rates in excess of 10
V/p.sec and unity gain bandwidth of 3 MHz.
low noise characteristics than the FET-input op-amps.
Exar manufactures a number of low noise op-amp circuits uniquely suited to audio applications. Among Exar's family of low noise op-amps, the XR-5534 operational amplifier, and its dual versions, the XR-5532 and
the XR-5533 offer the best noise performance.
The FET-input op-amps offer somewhat higher offset
voltages and input noise than all-bipolar op-amps.
In addition to low noise characteristics, another key
performance requirement for audio applications is low
distortion. The distortion characteristics of op-amps are
normally determined by the design of the output stage
as well as the amplifier bandwidth characteristics. The
total harmonic distortion (THD) is made up of three
components: (a) intermodulation distortion; (b) crossover distortion which depends on output stage design,
and (c) slew-induced distortion which occurs when the
output of the op-amp is forced to slew faster than its
slew-rate.
Low Distortion Op-Amps
Exar offers a wide selection of FET-input dual and quad
op-amps which are manufactured using Exar's ionimplanted BIPOLAR/FET process. The XR-082/XR-083
are dual op-amps; the XR-084 is a quad FET-input opamp. The XR-094 and the XR-095 are programmable
quad FET-input op-amps. Because of their low power
capability, the programmable JFET op-amps are particularly suitable for low-power active filter designs.
Low Noise Op-Amps
The cross-over distortion can be avoided by using opamps which have class-AB, rather than class-B type
output stages. All of Exar's op-amps fall into this category.
These op-amps are particularly suited for audio amplifier and mixer applications, where low noise is of prime
importance. The noise characteristics of an op-amp are
determined by the noise generated at the input stage,
since the noise generated at this point is amplified by
the full open-loop gain of the a..illPlifier. In most cases,
input noise voltages of 10 nV/y'Hz or less is required to
be suitable for high quality or professional audio Signal
processing applications. Such low noise characteristics are normally obtained by careful device deSign and
manufacturing processing of the Ie chips. In general,
all-bipolar operational amplifiers tend to have better
To avoid slew-induced distortion, one should ensure
that the slew rate of the amplifier is never exceeded
during the excursions of the input signal. The highspeed operational amplifiers such as Exar's XR-5533 or
XR-5534 op-amps which have slew rates in excess of
10 V/p.sec with a power bandwidth of 200 kHz can easily cover the entire audio frequency range without introducing slew-induced distortion.

Quad Programmable Bipolar J FET
Operataonal Amplifiers
FUNCTIONAL BLOCK DIAGRAMS
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The XR-094 and XR-095 bipolar JFET input quad programmable operational amplifiers consist of four independent, high gain, internally compensated amplifiers.
Two external resistors (RSET) allow the user to program
supply current slew-rate input noise without the usual
sacrifice of gain bandwidth product. For example, the
user can trade-off slew-rate for supply current or optimize the noise figure for a given source impedance. Except for the two programming pins at the end of the
package, the XR-094 and XR-095 pin-out is the same as
the popular 324, 3403, 124, 148 and 4741 operational
amplifiers.

In the case of the XR-094, three of the op amps on the
chip share a common programming pin; and the fourth
op amp is programmed separately. In the case of the
XR-095, each pair of op amps share a common programming pin.

GENERAL DESCRIPTION
JFET
FUNCTIONAL BLOCK DIAGRAM
The XR-096 monolithic circuit contains four independently programmable JFET operational amplifiers in a
single IC package. Each of the four op amp sections on
the chip has its own external bias terminal; thus its performance characteristics and power dissipation can be
independently controlled, without effecting the other op
amp sections on the chip. The respective bias-setting
resisters, RSET, connected to the programming terminals of the circuit allow one to trade-off power dissipation for slew-rate, without sacrificing the gainbandwidth product of the circuit. These individual bias
terminals can also be used to switch the op amp sections "on" and "off", and thus, multiplex between various op amp channels on the same chip.

Storage Temperature Range
The XR-096 is a quad independently programmable
JFET input operational amplifier featuring extremely
high input resistance, low input bias and offset current,
large common mode voltage range, and large output
swing range. Unity gain bandwidth is 3 MHz, and slew
rate is 13V/p.S. The devices are unity gain compensated.
Note 1: For Supply Voltage less than ± 15V, the absolute maximum input voltage is equal to the supply voltage.
Note 2: The output may be shorted to ground or to either supply. Temperature and/or supply voltages must be limited to ensure that the dissipation rating is not exceeded.
Each of the form amplifiers may be independently
"programmed"-rebiased-by connecting a resistor from
the bias adjust pin to the positive supply. Bias c.urrent
may range up to 400 p.A, thus affording the designer
flexibility along the POWfH consumption/speed curve.

The basic XR-146 family of circuits offer partitioned
programming of the internal op-amps where one setting resistor is used to set the bias levels in the three
op-amps, and a second bias setting is used for the remaining op-amp. Its modified version, the XR-346-2 provides a separate bias setting resistor for each of the
two op-amp pairs.

SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
Note 1: Diodes protect the inputs against over-voltage. Therefore, unless current-limiting resistors are used, large
currents will flow if the differential input voltage exceeds O.BV. Maximum current should be limited to ±
10 mA.
The XR-5533 and XR-5533A are dual monolithic operational amplifiers featuring low noise and very large gain
bandwidth products. The devices have low output resistance and can drive 10 Vrms into 6000. Input noise
is 100 % tested on the XR-5533A. and is typically only 4
nV/..JHZ. The small signal bandwidth is 10 MHz and
slew rate exceeds 13 V/p.S.
Note 2: Output may be shorted to ground at Vee = VEE =
15V, TA = 25°C. Temperature and/or supply voltages
must be limited to ensure dissipation rating is not exceeded.

The XR-1468/1S68 is a dual polarity tracking voltage
regulator combining two separate regulators with a
common reference element in a single monolithic circuit, thus providing a very close balance between the
positive and negative output voltages. Outputs are internally set to ± lS Volts but can be externally adjusted
between ± 8.0 to ± 20 Volts with a single control. The
circuit features ± 100 mA output current, with externally adjustable current limiting, and provision for remote voltage sensing.

All functions required to construct a pulse-width modulating regulator are incorporated on a single monolithic
chip in the XR-494. The device is primarily designed for
power supply control and contains a on-Chip five volt
regulator, two error amplifiers, an adjustable oscillator,
dead-time control comparator, a pulse-steering flip-flop,
and output control circuits. Either common emitter or
emitter follower output capability is provided by the uncommitted output transistors. Single ended or push-pull
output operation may be selected through the output
control function. The XR-494 architecture prohibits the
possibility or either output being pulsed twice during
push-pull operation. The internal amplifiers'S circuitry
allows for a common-mode input voltage range of - 0.3
volt to Vee - 2 volts. The dead time control comparator provides approximately 5% dead time unless the
dead time control is externally driven. The on-chip
oscillator may be used to drive the common XR-494
circuitry and provide a sawtooth input for associated
control circuitry in synchronous multiple-rail power
supplies, or may be bypassed by terminating RT (Pin 6)
to the reference output and providing a sawtooth input
to CT (Pin 5).

The XR-1524/2524/3524 pulse width modulating regulator is a complete monolithic switching regulator. An internal 5V reference, capable of supplying up to 50 mA
to external loads, provides an on board operating standard. The oscillator frequency and duty cycle are adjusted by an external RC network. Regulation is controlled by an error amplifier which, combined with the
sense amplifier, also allows current limiting and remote
shutdown functions. The outputs of the XR-1524/25241
3524 are two identical NPN transistors with both emitters and collectors uncommitted. Each output transistor has antisaturation circuitry for fast response and local current limiting set at 100 mAo

DESCRIPTION OF CIRCUIT OPERATION
VOLTAGE REFERENCE SECTION
The internal voltage reference and regulator section
provides a 5·volt reference output at pin 16. This volt·
age also serves as a regulated voltage source for the
internal timing and control circuitry. This regulator may
be bypassed for operation from a fixed 5·volt supply by
connecting pins 15 and 16 together to the input voltage.
In this configuration, the maximum input voltage is 6.0
volts.

The oscillator section in the XR-1524 uses an external
resistor (RT) to establish a constant charging current into an external capacitor (CT). While this uses more current than a series connected RC, it provides a linear
ramp voltage on the capacitor which is also used as a
reference for the comparator. The charging current is
equal to 3.6V + RT and should be kept within the range
of approximately 30 p.A to 2 mA, i.e., 1.SK < RT <
100K.

The use of Figure 3 allows the selectiori of RT and CT
for a wide range of operating frequencies. Note that for
series regulator applications, the two outputs can be
connected in parallel for an effective 0 - 90% duty cycle and the frequency of the oscillator is the frequency
of the output. For push-pull applications, the outputs
are separated and the flip-flop divides the frequency
such that each output's duty cycle is 0 - 45% and the
overall frequency is 1/2 that of the oscillator.

If it is desired to synchronize the XR-1524 to an external
clock, a pulse of =- + 3 volts may be applied to the oscillator output terminal with RrCT set slightly greater
than the clock period. The same considerations of
pulse width apply. The impedance to ground at this
point is approximately 2K ohms.

If two or more XR-1524 circuits must be synchronized
together, one must be deSignated as master with its
RrCT set for the correct period. The slaves should each
have an RrCT set for approximately 10% longer period
than the master with the added requirement that CT
(slave) = 1/2 CT (master). Then connecting pin 3 on all
units together will insure that the master output pulse which occurs first and has a wider pulse width - will reset the slave units.

The error amplifier is a simple differential-input, transconductance amplifier. The output is the compensation
terminal, pin 9, which is a high-impedance node (RL =5 MO). The gain is
2m.
OSCILLATOR PERIOD - MICROSECONDS
Figure 3, Oscillator Period as a Function of RT and CT
The range of values for CT also has limits as the discharge time of CT determines the pulse width of the oscillator output pulse. This pulse is used (among other
things) as a blanking pulse to both outputs to insure that
there is no possibility of having both outputs on simultaneously during transitions. This output dead time relationship is shown in Figure 4. A pulse width below approximately 0.5 microseconds may allow false triggering of one output by removing the blanking pulse prior
to the flip-flop's reaching a stable state. If small values
of CT must be used, the pulse width may still be expanded by adding a shunt capacitance (=- 100 pF) to
ground at the oscillator output. (Note: Although the oscillator output is a convenient oscilloscope sync input,
the cable and input capacitance may increase the
blanking pulse width slightly_) Obviously, the upper limit
to the pulse width is determined by the maximum duty
cycle acceptable. Practical values of CT fall between
.001 and 0.1 p.F.

and can easily be reduced from a nominal of 10,000 by
an external shunt resistance from pin 9 to ground, as
shown in Figure 5.
In addition to DC gain control, the compensation terminal is also the place for AC phase compensation. The
frequency response curves of Figure 5 show the uncompensated amplifier with a single pole at approximately 200 Hz and a unity gain cross-over at 5 MHz.
Typically, most output filter deSigns will introduce one or
more additional poles at a significantly lower frequency.
Therefore, the best stabilizing network is a series R-C
combination between pin 9 and ground which introduces a zero to cancel one of the output filter poles. A
good starting point is 50 KO plus .001 p.F.

In addition to constant current limiting, pins 4 and 5
may also be used in transformer-coupled circuits to
sense primary current and shorten an output pulse,
should transformer saturation occur. (Refer to Figure
15.) Another application is to ground pin 5 and use pin 4
as an additional shutdown terminal, i.e., the output will
be off with pin 4 open and on when it is grounded. Finally, foldback current limiting can be provided with the
network of Figure 8. This circuit can reduce the short-

One final point on the compensation terminal is that
this is also a convenient place to insert any programming signal which is to override the error amplifier. Internal shutdown and current limit circuits are connected here, but any other circuit which can sink 200 p.A
can pull this point to ground, thus shutting off both outputs.
While feedback is normally applied around the entire
regulator, the error amplifier can be used with conventional operational amplifier feedback and is stable in either the inverting or non·inverting mode. Regardless of
the connections, however, input common-mode limits
must be observed or output signal inversions may
result. For conventional regulator applications, the 5volt reference voltage must be divided down as shown
in Figure 6. The error amplifier may also be used in
fixed duty cycle applications by using the unit gain configuration shown in the open loop test circuit.

The current limiting circuitry of the XR-1524 is shown in
Figure 7.
OUTPUT CIRCUITS
The outputs of the XR-1524 are two identical NPN transistors with both collectors and emitters uncommitted.
Each output transistor has antisaturation circuitry for
fast response, and current limiting set for a maximum
output current 6f approximately 100 mAo The availability
of both collectors and emitters allows maximum versatility to enable driving either NPN or PNP external transistors.

Although this circuit provides a relatively small threshold with a negligible temperature coefficient, there are
some limitations to its use, the most important of which
is the ± 1 volt common mode range which requires
sensing in the ground line. Another factor to consider is
that the frequency compensation provided by R1C1
and 01 provides a roll-off pole at approximately 300
Hertz.

In considering the application of the XR-1524 to voltage
regulator circuitry, there are a multitude of output configurations possible. In general, however, they fall into
three basic classifications:
1. Capacitor-diode coupled voltage multipliers
2. Inductor-capacitor single-ended circuits
3. Transformer-coupled circuits
Examples of each category are shown in Figures 9, 10
and 11. In each case, the switches indicated can be either the output transistors in the XR-1524 or added external transistors according to the load current requirements.

DEADBAND CONTROL
The XR-1524 pulse width modulating regulator provides
two outputs which alternate in turning on for push-pull
inverter applications. The internal oscillator sends a
momentary blanking pulse to both outputs at the end of
each period to provide a deadband so that there cannot
be a condition when both outputs are on at the same
time. The amount of deadband is determined by the
width of the blanking pulse appearing on pin 3 and can
be controlled by anyone of the four techniques described below:

Method 1: For 0.2 to 2.0 microseconds, the deadband
is controlled by the timing capacitor, Cr, on
pin 7. The relationship between CT and
deadband is shown in Figure 4. Of course,
since CT also helps determine the operating
frequency, the range of control is somewhat
limited.

Method 2: For 0.5 to 5.0 microseconds, the blanking
pulse may be extended by adding a small
capacitor from pin 3 to ground. The value of
the capacitor must be less than 1000 pF or
triggering will become unreliable.
Vo
Method 3: For longer and more well-controlled blanking
pulses, a simple one-shot latch similar to the
circuit shown in Figure 12 should be used.

The XR-1524 pulse width modulating regulator can be
interconnected as shown in Figure 14. The component
values shown in the figure are chosen to generate a -5
volt regulated supply voltage from a + 15 volt input.
This circuit is useful for an output current of up to 20
mA with no additional boost transistors required. Since
the output transistors are current limited, no additional
protection is necessary. Also, the lack of an inductor allows the circuit to be stabilized with only the output capacitor.

Deadband Control. Note: For 5 ,.sec blanking,
choose CB = 200 pF, RB = 10 KO)
Figure 15 shows the application of XR-1524 in a lowcurrent DC-DC converter, using the flyback converter
principle (see Figure 11 b). The particular values given
in the figure are chosen to generate ± 15 volts at 20
mA from a + 5 volt regulated line. The reference generator in the XR-1524 is unused. The reference is provided by the input voltage. Current limiting in a flyback
converter is difficult and is accomplished here by sensing current in the primary line and resetting a soft-start
circuit.
When this circuit is triggered by the oscilla·
tor output pulse, it will latch for a period determined by CSRS providing a well-defined
deadband.
Another use for this circuit is as a buffer
when several other circuits are to be synchronized to one master oscillator. This oneshot latch will provide an adequate signal to
insure that all the slave circuits are completely reset before allowing the next timing
period to begin.
SINGLE ENDED REGULATOR
The XR-1524 operates as an efficient single-ended
pulse width modulating Fegulator, using the circuit connection shown in Figure 16. In this configuration, the
two output transistors of the circuit are connected in
parallel by shorting pins (12, 13) and (11, 14) together,
respectively, to provide for effective 0 - 90% duty-cycle
modulation. The use of an output inductance requires
an R-C phase compensation on pin 9, as shown in the
figure.
Note that with this circuit, the blanking pulse
holds off the oscillator so its width must be
subtracted from the overall period when selecting RT and CT
Method 4: Another way of providing greater deadband
is just to limit the maximum pulse width.
This can be done by using a clamp to limit
the output voltage from the error amplifier. A
simple way of achieving this clamp is with
the circuit shown in Figure 13.
This circuit will limit the error amplifier's voltage range since its current source output
will only supply 200 pA. Additionally, this circuit will not affect the operating frequency.

PUSH-PULL CONVERTER
The circuit of Figure 17 shows the use of XR-1524 in a
transformer-coupled DC-DC converter with push-pull
outputs (see Figure 11 a)_ Note that the oscillator must
be set at twice the desired output frequency as the XR1524's internal flip-flop divides the frequency by 2 as it
switches the P.WM_ signal from one output to the other.
Current limiting is done in the primary. This causes the
pulse/width to be reduced automatically if the transformer saturation occurs.

SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
The on-chip 5.1-volt reference is trimmed to ± 1 % initial accuracy, and the common-mode input range of the
error amplifier is extended to include the reference
voltage. Deadtime is adjustable with a single external
resistor. A sync input to the oscillator allows multiple
units to be slaved together, or a single unit to be synchronized to an external clock. A positive-going signal
applied to the shutdoown pin provides instantaneous
turnoff of the outputs. The under-voltage lockout circuitry keeps the output drivers off, and the soft-start capacitor discharged, for an input voltage below the required value. The latch on the PWM comparator insures the outputs to be active only once per oscillator
period, thereby eliminating any double pulsing. The
latch is reset with each clock pulse.

PRINCIPLES OF OPERATION
Error Amplifier
The different control blocks within the XR-1525N1527A
function as follows:
The error amplifier of the XR-1525N1527A is a differential input transconductance amplifier. Its commonmode range covers the reference voltage. Its open-loop
gain, typically 75 dB, can be reduced by a load resistor
on Pin 9. To ensure proper operation, the output load
should be limited to 50 kO or greater. An equivalent circuit schematic of the error amplifier is shown in Figure 9.
Voltage Reference Section
The internal voltage reference circuit of the XR-1525N
1527A is based on the well-known "band-gap" reference, with a nominal output voltage of 5.1 volts, internally trimmed to ± 1 % accuracy. It is short circuit protected and is capable of providing up to 20 mA of
reference current. A simplified circuit schematic is
shown in Figure 7.
Soft-Start Circuitry
The soft-start function is provided to achieve controlled
turn-on of the pulse-width modulator. When power is
applied to the device, the external capacitor, Csoftstart, on Pin 8 is charged by a 50 !tA constant current
source. The ramp voltage appearing on this capacitor
is fed into the pulse-width modulator, which gradually
increases its output duty cycle from zero to the prescribed value. When the shutdown terminal is raised to
a positive value, an internal transistor turns ON, and
discharges the capacitor, CS, causing the PWM to turn
OFF. When the shutdown terminal is open or pulled low,
the transistor turns OFF, and Cs begins charging as before. The turn-on time (time required to charge Cs to
+ 2.7 volts) can be approximated as:
Oscillator Section
The sawtooth oscillator derives its frequency from an
external timing resistor/capacitor pair. The timing resistor, fir. determines the charging current into the timing
capacitor, Cr- The magnitude of this current is approximately given by:
Vref - 2VBE
3.7V
AT
RT
where RT may range from 2 kO to 150 kO. In general,
temperature stability is maximized with lower values of
Rr- The current source charging CT creates a linear
ramp voltage which is compared to fixed thresholds
within. When the capacitor voltage reaches + 3.3 volts,
the oscillator output (Pin 4) goes high, turning ON the
discharge transistor. The capacitor is discharged
through the deadtime resistor, RO. When the voltage on
CT falls to + 1.0 volt, the oscillator output goes low, the
discharge transistor is turned OFF, and the capacitor is
charged through the constant current source as another cycle starts. With large values of RO (5000, maximum), deadtime is increased. The actual operating frequency is thus a function of the charge and discharge
times. Figure 2 shows how charge time is related to RT
and CT, with RO = 00. Oeadtime is a function of RO
and Cr, and can vary between 0.5 to 7 "sec, with RO =
00, as shown in Figure 3. The equivalent circuit schematic of the oscillator section is shown in Figure 8.
RECOMMENDED OPERATING CONDITIONS
A unit can be synchronized to an external source by selecting its free-running oscillator period to be 10%
longer than the period of the external source. A
positive-going pulse of at least 300 nsec wide should be
applied to the sync terminal for reliable triggering; however, it should not exceed the free-running pulse width
by more than 200 nsec. The amplifier of the pulse
should be kept between 2 and 5 volts. Multiple units
can be synchronized to each other by connecting all CT
pins, and oscillator output pins together; RT pins and
discharge pins on slave oscillators must be I.eft open.
Note 1: Range over which the device is functional
and parameter limits are guaranteed.

Output Section
The output drivers of the XR-1525N1527A are totempole designs capable of sinking and sourcing 200 mAo
The low source impedance in the high or low states provides ideal interfacing with bipolar as well as FET
power transistors. Either push-pull or single-ended output configurations are possible with separate collector
supply terminals. The equivalent schematic of the output drivers is shown in Figure 10.

SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
DCIDC Converters
Switch Mode Power Supplies
Power Line Monitors
Linear Power Supplies
An output supervisory circuit, such as the XR-1543, is
used to control and monitor the performance of a
power supply. In many systems, it is crucial that the
supply voltage is always within some minimum and
maximum level, to guarantee proper performance, and
to prevent damage to the system. If the supply voltage
is out of tolerance, it is often desirable to shut down the
system or to have some form of indication to the operator or system controller. As well as protecting the system, the power supply sometimes needs to be protected under short circuit and current overload situations.
By providing an SCR "crowbar" on the output of a
power supply, it can be shut off under certain fault conditions as well.

The over-voltage sensing circuit (O.V.) can be used to
monitor the output of a power supply and provide triggering of an SCR, when the output goes above the prescribed voltage level. The under-voltage sensing circuit
(U.V.) can be used to monitor either the output of a
power supply or the input line voltage.
Note 1: At higher input voltages, a dissipation limiting
resistor, RG, is required.

PRINCIPLES OF OPERATION
input common mode range extending from ground to
approximately 3 volts below the positive supply. With a
2 kO pull-up resistor, the open-loop voltage gain is 72
dB minimum with a unity gain bandwidth beyond 5
MHz. The operational amplifier may be used as a comparator or, if linear amplification is required, external
compensation may be added for stable performance
over a wide frequency range.
The internal control blocks of the XR-1543 operate as
follows:
Vonage Reference Section
The internal voltage reference circuit of the XR-1543 is
based on the well-known "band-gap reference" with a
nominal output voltage of 2.50 volts, intermilly trimmed
to give an accuracy of ± 1 % at 25°C. It is capable of
providing a stable output voltage over a wide input voltage range. Furthermore, its performance is guaranteed
for changes in line and load conditions. The accuracy
of the output voltage is guaranteed to ± 2% maximum
for the XR-1543/2543, and ± 4 % maximum for the XR3543, over the entire operating temperature range.
The input offset voltage of this amplifier is specified for
10 mV maximum; however, it may be programmed externally for thresholds up to 200 mV. By connecting a
resistor, Rr. from Pin 12 to ground, the input threshold
voltage can be varied. For most current sensing applications, the required threshold polarity calls for a positive voltage on the inverting input. Reducing the impedance on Pin 12 also lowers the overall voltage gain of
the amplifier, which makes this pin a convenient pOint
to apply frequency compensation. This can be accomplished by either connecting C1 to the output, or C2 to
ground as shown in Figure 8. The diode, D1, and the reSistor, RC, are used only if it is necessary to increase
the frequency response by operating the output at a
higher current and/or isolating the load from RC and
C1, when the amplifier is off.
The output of the reference circuit is capable of providing up to 10 rnA of current for use as a reference for external circuitry. The primary function of this circuit is to
provide a very accurate and stable reference input for
the under-voltage and over-voltage comparators, thereby enabling very precise monitoring of line and output
voltages without potentiometers.
Comparator Section
SC R Trigger Section
The under-voltage and over-voltage sensing comparators of the XR-1543 are identical except for the input polarities. Each section is made up of two comparators in
series whose inputs are referenced to 2.50 volts. The
delay terminal between the comparators requires an
external capacitor to ground for programmable time delays on the output.
The SCR trigger sectionof the XR-1543 is connected to
the output of the over-voltage comparator and is capable of handling 300 rnA. The circuit also provides for remote activation of the output as well as a reset terminal. When an over-voltage situation occurs, the output
of the sensing comparator goes low, turning "on" the
over-voltage indicate transistor. At the same time, the
comparator drives an npn Darlington pair which provides 300 rnA to activate an external SCR crowbar.
When an out-of-tolerance situation occurs, the first
comparator activates a current source which then
charges the external capacitor at a constant rate. This
ramp voltage is then compared to the reference voltage
by the second comparator which activates the output
indicating circuit. With no external capacitor, the overall
time delay from sense input to output is approximately
0.5 JLSec. The charging current for the capacitor, CD, is
approximately 250 p.A which results in the following relationship:
A remote activation circuit is included to allow the user
to activate the SCR crowbar in other than an overvoltage situation. When this terminal, Pin 2, is grounded, it forces the output of the comparator low which activates the output circuitry in the same manner as the
over-voltage comparator does.
Another function of this circuit is to provide the capability to latch the O.V. indicate and SCR trigger outputs
"on", after a fault is sensed. This is done by connecting
the remote activate terminal (Pin 2) to the O.V. indicating terminal (Pin 4). When an O.V_ condition occurs, Pin
2 is pulled low, which in turn holds the outputs in the
"on" condition until the reset terminal is externally
grounded, removing the latch and turning "off" the outputs. If the external connection is not made, the high
current output will be activated only as long as a fault
condition exists. When the fault condition disappears,
the outputs will be disabled. The thresholds for both remote activation and reset terminals are approximately
1.2 volts.
Time delay = 10 CD (msec)
where CD is in p.F.
The output npn transistors are capable of sinking 10
rnA with saturation voltage of less than 0.4 volts. The
outputs can be "wired OR'd" to provide a single output
indicator.
Current Sensing Amplifier
The operational amplifier used in the XR-1543 is a highgain, externally compensated amplifier with open collector outputs. The pnp input stage provides for a wide

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
2. C1 is determined by the loop dynamics.
A typical application of the XR-1543 is to monitor a single power supply output voltage as shown in Figure 9.
In this circuit, both over- and under-voltage sensing and
current-limiting functions are performed. The circuit
shown is powered from an external bias capable of supplying 10 mA in addition to the activation current for the
SCR trigger. With Pin 2 tied to Pin 4, a latch has been
provided such that when an over-voltage situation occurs, the o.v. indicator and SCR trigger are activated
and held until the reset terminal is externally grounded.
3. Peak current to load,
In powering an SCR from supply voltages greater than 5
volts, an external resistor, RG, is required on Pin 1 to
limit the power dissipation for the XR-1543. Although
the XR-1543 is capable of handling 300 mA of current,
its power dissipation must be kept below the absolute
maximum ratings.

SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
The XR-2230 PWM circuit contains two highperformance error amplifiers with wide input commonmode range, and large voltage gains. Typically, one amplifier (Pins 16, 17, 18) is used for current sensing and
the other (Pins 1, 2, 3) is used as an error amplifier to
sense the output voltage. The XR-2230 requires a split
supply between ± 8 volts and ± 15 volts, however, it
can be operated from a Single supply with proper external biasing on the ground pin and input pins of the error
amplifiers. The output drivers capable of sinking 30 mA
at a saturation voltage of about 0.3V can be used in a
push-pull configuration, or can be paralleled for a
single-ended configuration with a duty cycle between
0% to over 90%.

PWM output so that the output transistor's off time is

PRINCIPLES OF OPERATION
The heart of the XR-2230 is the sawtooth generator. As
seen in Figure 1, this saw100th drives one input of each
of the three system comparators. Comparators one and
two have their other inputs tied to the outputs of the error amplifiers. These comparators will now produce, at
their outputs, square waves which will have a duty cycle proportional to the voltage at the inputs to the error
amplifiers, or pulse width information. The pulse width
information is fed into the NOR gate and used to provide the reset information to the pulse-width modulation
flip·flop (PWM). The PWM flip·flop information is fed in
to the NAND gate with the external shutdown and PWM
flip-flop set input. The information from the NAND gate
drives an open-collector transistor to provide the pulse·
width modulation output, Pin 12. The PWM output will
be a square wave with a frequency set by the sawtooth
generator, and a duty cycle equal to either comparator,
one or two, whichever is shorter. If the external shut·
down, Pin 13 is driven low, the PWM output will remain
low or go to zero duty cycle. The set input of the PWM
flip·flop, Pin 15, is normally connected to the buffered
sawtooth generator output, Pin 14, so that a reset pulse
is provided every cycle. Each output transistor is driven
by a three input NAND gate. These inputs consist of:
2. Pulse-steering information from flip-flop two, which
will determine which output transistor receives the
PWM input signal. Flip-flop two will toggle once every cycle of the sawtooth generator's output, which
will make the output transistor's toggle frequency
one-half that of the sawtooth generator's.
3. Information from dead-time and thermal shutdown
circuitry. The dead-time is an externally adjustable
time between one output transistor turning off and
the other turning on. This is used to protect external
circuitry. This dead-time is controlled by an external
voltage applied to Pin 6, which is internally compared with the saw100th waveform. The thermal
shutdown circuitry will drive the input to the NAND
gate low, if the junction temperature exceeds 130°C.
This will make both outputs low.
The circuit control blocks and functions operate as follows:
Error Amplifiers-These are high-gain op amps which are
used to sense output conditions, voltage and current,
and provide a dc voltage to comparators one and two.
This will in turn adjust the PWM output duty cycle and
ultimately that of the output transistors to correct for errors in the output voltage or overcurrent conditions. The
amplifier's outputs are provided for tailoring the closed-
1. Pulse width information from the PWM input, Pin 11,
which is used to control the off time of the output
transistors. The PWM input is normally tied to the
1-353
XR·2230
loop gain or frequency response of the system. Figure
2 shows the relationship between output duty cycle,
Pins 11 and 12 connected, and the voltage at Pins 1 or
18. Amplifier two is approximately twice as fast as Amplifier one, and should, therefore, be used to sense output current.
FADJ, Pin 7-A resistor, Rext to + VCC, and a capacitor,
Cext, to ground from this pin, set the frequency of the
sawtooth and oscillator output, by the relationship:
FOSC
External Shutdown, Pin 13-A low level signal applied to
this pin will turn both outputs on. If not. used, this input
should be left open-circuited. The impedance at this
node is approximately 1 MO.
=
2.68
Rext x Cext
The sawtooth waveform a signal varying from zero volts
to +5V, will be present at Pin 7. Normal values of Rext
will range from 1 kO to 100 kG. Figure 3 shows the oscillator period as a function of various Rext and Cext values.
Oscillator Output, Pin 14-This is an open-collector output
which will be a square wave with a frequency set by the
sawtooth generator. The duty cycle of this output will
vary from 10 to 90%, and is a function of the dead-time
setting. This pin is normally connected to Pin 15, set to
provide reset pulses for the PWM flip-flop.
The dead-time (minimum time from one output turning
on to the other turning off) is controlled by the voltage
applied to Pin 6.
Dead-time Control, Pin 6-Figure 4 shows output deadtime
as a function of VPIN 6. The maximum duty cycle of
each output is also controlled by the dead-time, and
may be determined by the following expression:
Set, Pin 15-This is the set input for the PWM flip-flop. A
low-going signal at this pin will cause the flip-flop to be
reset. The impedance at this pin is approximately 7.5
kO. This pin is normally connected to the oscillator output, Pin 14.

Duty Cycle Max(%) = (1

VplN 6
PWM Out, Pin 12-This is an open-collector output which
provides a square wave with a duty cycle determined
by the error amplifiers. This output is normally connected to PWM IN, Pin 11.
VplN 6 <3.5V
The impedance into this pin is approximately 10 kG.
PWM In, Pin 11-This is the input which controls the duty
cycle of the output transistors. A low level on this pin
will drive both output transistors on. The impedance into this pin is approximately 7.4 kG.
APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
The soft-start function may be implemented as shown
in Figure 7. This configuration will reduce the output duty cycle to zero, and gradually increase to its normal
operating point, whenever power is applied to the circuit, or after an external shutdown command has been
given. This is used to keep the magnetics in the circuit
from saturating.
Output Transistors, Pins 9 and 10-These pins provide the

A typical step-down switching regulator configuration is
shown in Figure 8. Only one output transistor is used,
so that the maximum duty cycle will be limited to 45 %.
If a larger duty cycle range is needed, the two outputs

Transistor Arrays
FUNCTIONAL BLOCK DIAGRAM
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The XR-2011/2012/2013/2014 are high-voltage, highcurrent Darlington transistor arrays consisting of seven
silicon NPN Darlington pairs on a common monolithic
substrate. All units feature open collector outputs and
integral protection diodes for driving inductive loads.
Peak inrush currents of up to 750 mA are allowed,
which makes the arrays ideal for driving tungsten filament lamps. The outputs may be paralleled to achieve
higher load current capability although each driver has
a maximum continuous collector current rating of 600
mA. "The arrays are directly price competitive with discrete transistor alternatives.

The XR-2012 was specifically designed to interface
with 14 to 25 volt PMOS devices. The input current is
limited to a safe value by a Zener diode and resistor in
series.
A 2.7 kO series base resistor to each Darlington pair in
the XR-2013 permits operation directly with CMOS or
TIL operating with a 5 volt supply. Interface requirements beyond the scope of standard logic buffers are
easily handled by the XR-2013.

FUNCTIONAL BLOCK DIAGRAM
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The XR-S200 integrated circuit is a highly versatile,
multipurpose circuit that contains all of the essential
functions of most communication system designs on a
single monolithic substrate. The function contained in
the XR-S200 include: 1. a four quadrant analog multiplier, 2. a high frequency voltage controlled oscillator
(VCO) and 3. a high performance operational amplifier.
The three functions can be used independently, or directly interconnected in any order to perform a large
number of complex circuit functions, from phaselocked loops to the generation of complex waveforms.
The XR-S200 can accommodate both analog and digital
signals, over a frequency range of 0.1 Hz to 30 MHz,
and operate with a wide choice of power supplies extending from ± 3 volts to ± 30 volts.

normally a high level reference signal and the other input a low level information signal. Since the XR-S200
multiplier section offers symmetrical response with respect to the X and Y inputs, either input can be used as
the carrier or signal input. For low input levels, the conversion gain is proportional to the input signal amplitude. For high level inputs, (Vs > 40 mV, rms) Kef> is
constant and approximately equal to 2V/rad.
Figure 2. XR-S200 Multiplier Section
PHASE COMPARATOR
For phase comparison, a lOW-level reference signal is
normally applied to one input and a high-level reference
or carrier signal to the other input, as in Figure 4. The
signal .may be applied to either the X or Y input, since
the response is symmetrical.
SUPPRESSEO,CARRIER AM
The multiplier generates suppressed-carrier AM signals
when connected as in Figure 6. Again, the symmetrical
response allows the X or Y inputs to be used interchangeably as the carrier or modulation inputs. The X
and Y offset adjustments optimize carrier suppression.
Gain control resistors RX and Ry typically range from 1
KO to 10 KO, depending on input signal amplitudes. The
values shown give approximately 60 dB carrier suppression at 500 kHz and 40 dB at 10 MHz.
If the two inputs, VR(t) and VS(t) are at the same frequency, then the dc voltage at the output of the phase
comparator can be related to the phase angle ef> between the two signals as
Vef> = Kef>cOSef>
where Kef> is the conversion gain in volts per radian (Figure 5). For phase comparator applications, one input is

DOUBLE·SIDEBAND AM GENERATION
RX
The connection for double-sideband AM generation is
shown in Figure 7. The dc offset adjustment on the
modulation input terminal sets the carrier output level,
while the dc offset of the carrier input governs symmetry of the output waveform. The modulation input can
also be used as a linear gain control (AGe), to control
amplification with respect to the carrier input signals.

XR-S200 OSCILLATOR SECTION
The voltage-controlled oscillator section, (Figure 11) is
an exceptionally versatile design capable of operating
from a fraction of a cycle to in excess of 40 MHz. Frequencies can be selected and controlled by three methods, and used in various combinations for different applications:
Figure 9. Synchronous AM Detector
1. External timing capacitor eO tunes the veo to a center frequency between 0.1 Hz and 40 MHz. The freerunning frequency is inversely proportional to eO.
(see Figure 12)
2. Two digital control inputs allow four discrete frequencies to be selected at any center frequency. The digital inputs convert the logic signal voltages to internal control currents. (see Figure 13)
3. A sweep voltage, applied through a limiting resistor
RS is used for frequency sweeping, on-off keying,
and synchronization of the veo to a sync pulse. (see
Figure 14)
The voltage-to-frequency conversion of the veo section is highly linear. In addition, the conversion gain can
be controlled through the analog control input. Gain is
inversely proportional to Ro. When the digital controls
are also used, gain decreases as the frequency is
stepped up.
Figure 9-1_ Synchronous AM Demodulation
XR-S200 AMPLIFIER SECTION
This multi-purpose function (Figure 10) can be used as
a general-purpose operational amplifier, high-speed
comparator, or sense amplifier. It features an input impedance of 2 megohms, high voltage gain, and a slew
rate of 2.5V/microsecond .. The frequency response
curves for the amplifier section are also shown in Figure 10.
The veo interfaces easily with Eel or TTL logic. It can
be converted to a highly stable crystal-controlled oscillator by simply substituting a crystal in place of the timing capacitor, eO.
Typical performance characteristics of the veo section
are shown in Figures 12, 13, and 14.

EXPLANATION OF VCO DIGITAL CONTROLS
The VCO frequency is proportional to the total charging
current, IT, applied to the timing capacitor. As shown in
Figure 15, IT is comprised of three separate components: 10, 11, and 12, which are contributed by transistors TO, T 1, and T2, respectively. With pins 15 and 16
open circuited, these currents are interrelated as
OUTPUT
21
FREO. TUNE
ISWEEPIINPUT
Currents 11and 12 can be externally controlled through
pins 16 and 15 respectively. By increasing the dc level
at either of these pins, T1 or T2 can be turned "off" and
11 or 12 can be reduced to zero. With reference to Figure 15, this can be done by applying a 3 volt logic pulse
to these pins, through disconnect diodes D1 and D2. In
this manner, the VCO frequency can be stepped in four
discrete intervals, over a frequency range of 2.5:1, as
shown in Figure 13.

equals R7, the dc output level will be very close to
ground, for circuit operation with split power supplies.
C3 is the amplifier's compensation capacitor. R8 and
C2 set the output de-emphasis time constant TO, which
is normally 75 /Lsec. for commercial FM applications (fo
= 10.7 MHz).
APPLICATIONS OF THE XR-S200 SYSTEM
PHASE-LOCKED LOOP
FSK DETECTION
A self-contained phase-locked loop is formed by connecting the XR-S200 as outlined in Figure 16.
FSK signals are detected and demodulated with the
PLL connection, as well. It is shown in Figure 18 as a
monolithic MODEM suitable for 8ell103 or 202 type data sets operating at data rates to 1800 baud. An input
frequency shift corresponding to a data bit causes the
multiplier's dc voltage output to reverse polarity. The dc
level is changed to a binary output pulse by the gain
block, connected as a voltage comparator.
In most PLL applications, the amplifier is available for
functions useful outside the loop, since the phase comparator (multiplier section) and VCO provide sufficient
conversion gain. In this case, the amplifier gain does
not enter the PLL gain expression. Assuming unity dc
gain for the filter, the PLL loop gain is KT = K", KO
where K", and KO are the multiplier and VCO conversion
gains, respectively.

applied to the inputs to when CE
goes "low".
Data Hole Time (th): Maximum time required for data to
be present at the inputs before CE
goes "low", in order to obtain valid
output data. It is measured from

indicates that the input data does
not have to be present during the
latter part of the CE high state, and
still have valid output data.
Chip Enable Pulse Width (tw): Minimum pulse width
required for chip enable signal in
order to obtain valid output data.
Propagation Delay Time (td): Time required for output

PRINCIPLES OF OPERATION
Figure 10 shows lhe basic configuration of the XR-9201
D/A converter. The input data bits to the chip can be
latched (stored) in the D/A by controlling the chip enable (CE) pin. When CE is "high" (>2.0 volts), the latch
is transparent and data bits present are passed
through the latch and directly control the D/A converter
switches. When CE is "low" « 0.8 volts), the data bits
within the latch are retained and remain there until CE
goes "high" again. When CE is "low", the data bits at
the inputs are ignored until CE goes "high". This interval latch provides a useful interface with microprocessors.

The XR-9201 D/A converter contains an internal reference voltage (VREF) with nominal value of 2.00V using
a 6 KG resistor to ground. VREF can be adjusted using
a 10 KG potentiometer tied between Pin 3 and ground.
For maximum temperature stability, VREF should be
set to 2.00V. The maximum output current capability of
VREF is about 9 mA (see Figure 5) and can be used to
provide a reference voltage for other DACs, as well as
other circuitry.

amplifier inputs needs to be as short as possible so as
to minimize capacitance at the node. Oscillations on
the operational amplifier output may result with long
wires. A capacitor in the feedback loop of the operational amplifier can reduce these oscillations.
The reference current (lREF) for the D/A converter is
established by a resistor, R, connected between VREF

ZERO AND FULL SCALE ADJUSTMENTS
Figure 13 shows a circuit for zero and full scale adjustments. It allows tile output voltage to be nulled with
zero scale input conditions (0000,0000). This is done by
shorting out RFB and adjusting the vas adjust potentiometer of the operational amplifier until the output
reads zero volts. This is performed with all digital bits
set to zeros. lITo is the output being used, then all digital bits are set to ones and the zero scale is adjusted.

1.5 mA beyond which saturation occurs in the internal
circuitry. To balance the internal operational amplifier, a
resistor equal to R must be placed between Pin 4
(- VREF IN) and ground.
For full scale adjustment, all digital inputs are set to
ones and the IREF potentiometer, from Pin 2 to Pin 5, is
adjusted until the output is at the desired voltage level
(e.g., output is adjusted to 10.000 volts for nominal
9.960 volts output).

BIPOLAR OUTPUT OPERATION

Figure 14 shows a basic bipolar output operation. For
full scale input (1111,1111) the output voltage is equal
to 1.0V. For zero scale input (0000,0000), output voltage
is equal to - 1.0V. Due to the internal circuitry of the
XR-9201, the current output terminals should not be
pulled below approximately - 1.0 volt. Therefore the cir·
cuit shown in Figure 14 would not function for Eo less
than - 1.0V. For bipolar operation with larger output
voltages, the circuit shown in Figure 15 is recommended. Note that the current outputs, 10 and To, are
held at zero volts for all digital inputs for greater accuracy.

SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
The XR-4151 is a precision voltage to frequency convertor featuring 0.05% conversion linearity, high noise
rejection, monotonicity, and single supply operation
from BV to 22V. An RC network on Pin 5 sets the maximum full scale frequency. Input voltage on Pin 7 is
compared with the voltage on Pin 6 (which is generally
controlled by the current source output, Pin 1). Frequency output is proportioned to the voltage on Pin 7.
The current source is controlled by the resistance on
Pin 2 (nominally 14kll) with 1 = 1.9 VIR. The output is
an open collector at Pin 3.

the current source remains off and the voltage VB decays until VB is again equal to VI. This completes one
cycle. The VFC will now run in a steady state mode. The
current source dumps lumps of charge into the capacitor CB at a rate fast enough to keep VB ~ VI. Since the
discharge rate of capacitor CB is proportional to VB/
RB, the frequency at which the system runs will be proportional to the input Voltage.
SINGLE SUPPLY MODE VOLTAGE-TO-FREQUENCY CONVERTER
In this application, the XR-4151 functions as a standalone voltage-to-frequency converter operating on a
Single positive power supply. Refer to the functional
block diagram and Figure 3, the circuit connection for
single supply voltage-to-frequency conversion. The XR4151 contains a voltage comparator, a one-shot, and a
precision switched current source. The voltage comparator compares a positive input voltage applied at pin
7 to the voltage at pin 6. If the input voltage is higher,
the comparator will fire the one·shot. The output of the
one-shot is connected to both the logic output and the
precision switched current source. During the one-shot
period, T, the logic output will go low and the current
source will turn on with current I. At the end of the one
shot period the logic output will go high and the current
source will shut off. At this time the current source has
injected an amount of charge Q = lOT into the network
RB-CB. If this charge has not increased the voltage VB
such that VB > V" the comparator again fires the oneshot and the current source injects another lump of

TYPICAL APPLICATIONS
op-amp prevents the voltage at pin 7 of the XR-4151
from going below O. Use a low-leakage diode here,
since any leakage will degrade the accuracy. This circuit can be operated from a single positive supply if an
XR-3403 ground-sensing op-amp is used for the integrator. In this case, the diode can be left out. Note that
even though the circuit itself will operate from a single
supply, the input voltage is necessarily negative. For
operation above 10kHz, bypass pin 6 of the XR-4151
with .01,.F.
SINGLE SUPPLY VOLTAGE-TO-FREQUENCY CONVERTER
Figure 3 shows the simplest type of VFC that can be
made with the XR-4151. The input voltage range is from
o to + 10V and the output frequency is from 0 to 10
kHz. The f~1I scale frequency can be tuned by adjusting
RS, the output current set resistor. This circui~ has the
advantage of being simple and low in cost, but It suffers
from inaccuracy due to a number of error sources. linearity error is typically 1 %. A frequency offset will also
be Introduced by the input comparator offset voltage.
Also, response time for this circuit is limited by the passive integration network RB CB. For the component values shown in Figure 3, response time for a step change
input from 0 to + 10V will be 135 msec. For applications
which require fast response time and high accuracy,
use the circuit of Figure 4.
FREQUENCY-TO-VOLTAGE CONVERSION
The XR-4151 can be used as a frequency-to-voltage
converter. Figure 5 shows. the single-supply FVC configuration. With no signal applied, the resistor bias networks tied to pins 6 and 7 hold the input comparator in
the off state. A negative going pulse applied to pin 6 (or
positive pulse to pin 7) will cause the comparator to fire
the one-shot. For proper operation, the pulse width
must be less than the period of the one-shot, T = 1.1
RO CO. For a 5V pop square-wave input the differentiator network formed by the input coupling capacitor and
the resistor bias network will provide pulses which correctly trigger the one-shot. An external voltage comparator can be used to "square-up" sinusoidal input Signals before they are applied to the XR-4151. Also, the
component values for the input signal differentiator and
bias network can be altered to accommodate square
waves with different amplitudes and frequencies. The
passive integrator network RB CB filters the current
pulses from the pin 1 output. For less output ripple, increase the value of CB.
PRECISION VOLTAGE-TO-FREQUENCY CONVERTER
In this application (Figure 4) the XR-4151 is used with
an operational amplifier integrator to provide typical linearity of 0.05% over the range of 0 to -10V. Offset is
adjustable to zero. Unlike many VFC designs which
lose linearity below 10mV, this circuit retains linearity
over the full range of input voltage, all the way to OV.
Trim the full scale adjust pot at VI = -10V for an output
frequency of 10kHz. The offset adjust pot should be set
for 10Hz with an input voltage of -10mV.
The operational amplifier integrator improves linearity
of this circuit over that of Figure 3 by holding the output
of the source, Pin 1, at a 90nstant OV. Therefore, the linearity error due to the current source output conductance is eliminated. The diode connected around the
For increased accuracy and linearity, use an operational amplifier integrator as shown in Figure 6, the precision FVC configuration. Trim the offset to give -10mV
out with 10Hz in and trim the full scale adjust for -1 OV
out with 10kHz in. Input Signal conditioning for this circuit is necessary just as for the single supply mode and
the scale factor can be programmed by the choice of
component values. A tradeoff exists between the
amount of output ripple and the response time, through
the choice or integration capacitor CI. If CI = 0.1 ,.f the
ripple will be about 100mV. Response time constant TR
= RB CI. For RB = 100 kO and CI = 0.1 ,.f, TR =

The main section of the XR-7000 comprises seven logarithmic sections. Each section has a dynamic range of
approximately 12 dBV. For wide range applications, the
seven sections may be cascaded to provide a total dynamic range of over 90 dBV. The logarithmic sections
provide current outputs, which can be summed and
converted to voltages, using the on-board summing
amplifiers. A unipolar output with built-in offset is also
available for use with an external I to V converter.

CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
The analog signal compressor/expander or "compandor" circuits are among the most fundamental building
blocks in telecommunication systems. These circuits
are intended to compress or expand the dynamic range
of speech or other analog signals transmitted through
telecommunication systems.
system is comprised of four basic blocks: (1) an internal
voltage reference; (2) an ac/dc converter which converts ac signal input to a dc current level; (3) an impedance converter whose impedance level is a function of
a dc control signal; and (4) a high gain operational amplifier.
Figure 1 shows the simplified block diagram of a typical
speech transmission system, using the compression/
expansion or "companding" technique. The dynamic
range of the input signal is first compressed at the
transmitting end; then transmitted through the system,
and finally expanded back to the original amplitude at
the receiving end. Thus, the "compressor" and the "expander" sections of a compandor system perform reciprocal functions. In a bi-directional transmission system, there is a compandor at each end of the line which
compresses the out-going signal, or expands the incoming signal by an equal amount.
The XR-2216 is designed to accommodate a wide
range of system configurations It can be operated with
positive, or negative, single-supply systems, or with balanced power supplies, over a power supply range of
6 volts to 20 volts.
Some of its key features are: low external component
count, excellent transfer function, tracking, low power
supply drain, controlled attack and release times, low
noise and low distortion.
EXPANDER (Figure 3)
Figure 3 shows the external circuit connections and
components necessary to operate XR-2216 as an expander. An input signal is applied to Pin 7 which is the

compressor and expander circuits commonly used in
telecommunication systems. In the compressor, the
output amplitude varies 1 dB for every 2 dB change of
input amplitude; the reverse is true for the expander.
AC/DC converter input. The AC/DC converter converts
the AC signal input to a dc current level which in turn
controls the transconductance of the impedance converter. Part of the input signal is applied to the impedance converter by connecting Pins 8 and 10. Thus the
signal current at Pin 11is proportional to the product of
the input Signal and its average value.
The functional block diagram of XR-2216 compandor is
shown on Page 1, in terms of the monolithic circuit
package. The XR-2216 is designed to be connected as
either a compressor or an expander, the choice being
determined by the external circuitry. The monolithic

The output signal current is then fed to the operational
amplifier by connecting Pins 11 and 16, and the output
signal voltage is directly proportional to the signal current flowing into Pin 16. The output signal of the expander is available at Pin 2. In this operation, the reference level is set by the trim pot Rl, and the trim pot R2
provides a means for trimming low level tracking.

Figure 4 shows the typical circuit connection for compressor operation. It is just a non-inverting voltage amplifier whose input level is proportional to the product of
the incoming signal and the impedance of the impedance converter which is inversely proportional to the
amplifier output. Consequently, the output signal at Pin
2 is proportional to square root of the input signal.

OUTPUT
In this operation, just like expander operation, the reference level is set by the trim pot R1 and low level tracking is adjusted by the trim pot R2. In the connection of
Figure 4, the output change is 1 dB for 2 dB change at
input. The output range can be adjusted to - 37 dBm to
- 7 dBm for input signals of 60 dB dynamic range.
Note: Attack and Decay Times:
The speed with which gain changes to follow changes
in input signal levels is determined by the capacitor Cl
and the resistor R1. A small capaCitor will yield rapid response but will not fully filter low frequency signals. Any
ripple on the gain control signal will modulate the signal
passing through the impedance converter. In an expander and compressor application, this would lead to
a 3rd harmonic distortion, so there is a tradeoff to be
made between fast attack and decay times, and distortion.

CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
approaches unity and the Taylor series of the 1n function can be approximated as:
The differential transistor pair Q4 and Q5 form a transconductance stage in that the ratio of their collector
currents is defined by the differential input voltage according to the transfer function:

VIN [ (IB)(q)] = 15 -14

where VIN is the differential input voltage, KT/q is approximately 26 mV at 25° C and 15 and 14 are the collector currents of transistors Q5 and Q4 respectively. With
the exception of Q3 and Q13, all transistors and diodes
are identical in size. Transistors Q1 and Q2 with Diode
D1 form a current mirror which forces the sum of currents 14 and 15 to equal 18;
(4)
Collector currents 14 and 15 are not very useful by themselves and it is necessary to subtract one current from
the other. The remaining transistors and diodes form
three current mirrors that produce an output current
equal to 15 minus 14 thus:
(2)
VIN [(lB)(q)] = lOUT

where 18 is the amplifier bias current applied to the gain
pin.

The term in brackets is then the transconductance of
the amplifier and is proportional to lB.

LINEARIZING DIODES
APPLICATIONS
For differential voltages greater than a few millivolts,
Equation 3 is no longer accurate, and the transconductance becomes increasingly nonlinear. Figure 1 demonstrates how the internal diodes can linearize the transfer function of the amplifier. For convenience assume
the diodes are biased with current sources and the input signal is the form of current IS. Since the sum of 14
and 15 is IB and the difference is lOUr. currents 14 and
15 can be written as follows:
VOLTAGE CONTROLLED AMPLIFIERS (VCA)
Figure 2 shows how the linearizing diodes can be used
in a voltage controlled amplifier. To understand the input biasing, it is best to consider the 13 KG resistor as a
current source and use a Therenin equivalent circuit as
shown in Figure 3. This circuit is similar to Figure 1 and
operates the same. The potentiometer in Figure 2 is adjusted to minimize the effects of the control signal at
the output.

Figure 3. Equivalent VCA Input Circuit
Notice that in deriving Equation 6, no approximations
have been made and there are no temperature dependent terms. The limitations are that the signal current
not exceed 10/2 and that the diodes be biased with currents. In practice, replacing the current sources with
resistors will generate insignificant errors.
For optimum signal-to'noise performance, IB should be
as large as possible as shown by the Output Voltage vs.
Amplifier Bias Current graph. Larger amplitudes of input signal also improve the SIN ratio. The linearizing diodes help here by allowing larger input signals for the
same output distortion as shown by the Oistortion vs.
Oifferential Input voltage graph. SIN may be optimized
by adjusting the magnitude of the input signal via RIN
(Figure 2) until the output distortion is below some desired level. The output voltage swing can then be set at
any level by selecting RL.
CONTROLLED IMPEDANCE BUFFERS
The upper limit of transconductance is defined by the
maximum value of IB (2 mAl. The lowest value of IB for
which the amplifier will function therefore determines
the overall dynamic range. At very low values of IB, a
buffer which has very low input bias current is desirable. A FET follower satisfies the low input current requirement, but is some what non-linear for large voltage
wing. The controlled impedance buffer is a Oarlington
which modifies its input bias current to suit the need.
For low values of IB' the buffer's input current is minimal. At higher levels of IB, transistor Q3 biases up to
Q12 with a current proportional to IB for fast slew rate.
Although the noise contribution of the linearizing diodes
is negligible relative to the contribution of the amplifier's internal transistors, 10 should be as large as possible. This minimizes the dynamic junction resistance of
the diodes (re) and maximizes their linearizing action
when balanced against RIN. A value of 1 mA is recommended for 10 unless the specific application demands
otherwise.

The constant term in the above equation may be cancelled by feeding IS x IORct2(V + 1.4 V) into 10. The
circuit of Figure 6 adds RM to provide this current, resulting in a four-quadrant multiplier where RC is
trimmed such that Va = OV for VIN2 = OV. RM also
serves as the load resistor for 10.
An Operational Transconductance Amplifier (OTA) may
be used to implement a Voltage Controlled Resistor as
shown in Figure 8. A signal voltage applied at RX generates a VIN to the XR-13600 which is then multiplied by
the gm of the amplifier to produce an output current,
thus:
Noting that the gain of the XR-13600 amplifier of Figure
3 may be controlled by varying the linearizing diode
current 10 as well as by varying IB, Figure 7 shows an
AGC Amplifier using this approach. As Va reaches a
high enough amplitude (3VBE) to turn on the Darlington
transistors and the linearizing diodes, the increase in
10 reduces the amplifier gain so as to hold Va at that
level.

OTA's are extremely useful for implementing voltage
controlled filters, with the XR-13600 having the advan·
tage that the required buffers are included on the I.C.
The VC La-Pass Filter of Figure 11 performs as a unitygain buffer amplifier at frequencies below cut-off, with
the cut-off frequency being the point at which XcJgm
equals the closed-loop gain of (R/RA). At frequencies
above cut-off the circuit provides a single RC roll-off (6

that the peak differential input voltage must be less

Figure 19 presents an interesting one-shot which draws
no power supply current until it is triggered. A positivegoing trigger pulse of at least 2V amplitude turns on the
amplifier through RS and pulls the non-inverting input
high. The amplifier regenerates and latches it output
high until capacitor C charges to the voltage level on
the non-inverting input. The output then switches low,
turning off the amplifier and discharging the capacitor.
The capacitor discharge rate is speeded up by shorting
the diode bias pin to the inverting input so that an additional discharge current flows through D1 when the amplifier output switches low. A special feature of this timer is that the other amplifier, when biased from Va, can
perform another function and draw zero stand-by power
as well.

the Darlington buffer used be from the other (A2) half of
the package and that the corresponding amplifier be biased on continuously.
The Schmitt trigger of Figure 22 uses the amplifier output current into R to set the hysteresis of the comparator; thus VH = 2 x R x IS will produce a Schmitt trigger with variable hysteresis.
The peak detector of Figure 25 uses A2 to turn on AI
whenever VIN becomes more positive than Va. AI then
charges storage capacitor C to hold Va equal to VIN
PK. One precaution to observe when using this circuit:
the Darlington transistor used must be on the same
side of the package as A2 since the AI Darlington will
be turned on and off with AI. Pulling the output of A2
low through 01 serves to turn off At so that Va remains
constant.
Figure 23 shows a tachometer or frequency-to-voltage
converter. Whenever AI is toggled by a positive-going
input. an amount of charge equal to (VH - VLl Ct is
sourced into Cj and Rt. This once per cycle charge is
then balanced by the current of VO/Rt. The maximum
FIN is limited by the amount of time required to charge
Ct from VL to VH with a current of IS. where VL and VH

constant, the RMS value is constant and the attenuation is directly proportional to the RMS value of the input voltage. The attenuation is also proportional to the
diode bias current. Amplifier A4 adjusts the ratio of currents through the diodes to be equal and therefore the
voltage at the output of A4 is proportional to the RMS
value of the input voltage. The calibration potentiometer

The true RMS converter of Figure 27 is essentially an
automatic gain control amplifier which adjusts its gain
such that the AC power at the output of amplifier A1 is
constant. The output power of amplifier A1 is monitored
by squaring amplifier A2 and the average compared to
a reference voltage with amplifier A3. The output of A3
provides bias current to the diodes of A1 to attenuate

The XR-C262 is a high-performance monolithic repeater
IC for pulse-code modulated (PCM) telephone lines. It is
designed to operate as a regenerative repeater at 1.544
Megabits per second (Mbps) data rates on T1-type PCM
lines.
The XR-C262 operates with a single 6.8 volt power supply, and with a typical supply current of 13 mAo It provides bipolar output drive with high-current handling capability. The clock-extractor section of XR-C262 uses
the resonant-tank circuit principle, rather than the
injection-locked oscillator technique used in earlier
monolithic repeater designs. The bipolar output drivers
are designed to go to their "off" state automatically,
when there is no input signal present.

PRINCIPLES OF OPERATION
data comparators which are internally biased from a
voltage reference and precision voltage divider network. The preamplifier output is sliced at various voltage levels to eliminate the effects of baseline noise.
This output is full wave rectified, and applied to a crystal time extraction circuit. The sinusoidal wave shape
from the time extraction circuit is differentially coupled
to a clock slicer block to produce the internal square
wave clock signal.
T1C is a digital line system operating at 3.152 Mbitsl
sec, very similar, in principle, to the T1 line system. It
provides 48 digitally encoded and time division multiplexed voice channel repeaters containing 2 regenerators which have the approximate spacing of 6300 ft.
Power is provided by a simplex arrangement with a line
current of 120 mAo Two regenerators share a common
power supply. Basic repeater functions, namely reshaping, retiming and regenerating, are performed for cable
losses from 6 to 54 dB, as measured at 1.576 MHz.
The bipolar PCM signal, which is attenuated and distorted due to transmission medium, is applied to a preamplifier through a pulse-shaping network. This network,
and the variolosser diodes, forms the AlBO circuitry
which provides attenuation and shaping to automatically adjust for varying cable characteristics.
The regeneration of data is achieved through a pair of
data comparators and ECl latches. The data slicing levels are set to ±50% of the preamplifier output peak
voltages. Eel latch outputs and clock signal are then
gated to produce two precisely timed output data signals. The positive and negative data paths are separate
but identical in design.
A feedback network is used around the preamplifier for
gain equalization, as well as to reject out-of-band noise.
The output of the preamplifier is controlled to swing between two established peak levels, and drives a set of
A zero input protection circuit is provided for the dual
task of preventing the output switches from latching in
an ON state, as well as reducing the likelihood of output
pulses with no input signal.

SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
The XR-T5600fT5620 performs most of the functions required for one side of a PCM repeater operating at 2 M
bitls or similar baud rate. The integrated circuit amplifies the received positive and negative pulses and
feeds them into Automatic Line Build-out (ALBO), clock
and data threshold detectors, see Figure 1. The ALBO
threshold detector ensures that the received pulses at
Pins 7 and 8 have the correct amplitude and shape.
This is carried out by contrOlling the gain and frequency
shaping of the ALBO network with three variable impedance ALBO ports.

The clock threshold detector extracts timing information from the pulses received at Pins 7 and 8 and
passes it into the external tank coil at Pin 15. The
sinusoidal-type waveform is amplified into a square
wave at Pin 13, and forwarded through an external
phase shift network into Pin 12. This waveform provides the Qata sampling pulse which opens latches into
which the data from the data threshold detectors is
passed. The resulting pluses are stored for half a bit
period (normally 488 ns) in the latches. They appear as
half-width output pulses at Pins 10 and 11.

2. Sample pulse width is specified with a 2.048 MHz TTL waveform at clock input (Pin 15) and a 2.400 MHz Schottky TTL
waveform at amplifier input in the circuit of Figure 4. Figure 7 shows the relevant Ie waveforms.
3. Monitor the frequency of coincident output pulses at Pins 10 and 11 either directly or through output circuit to

Bipolar PCM signal is attenuated and dispersed in time
as it travels along the transmission cable, characteristics of which vary with length, frequency, temperature
and humidity. The PCM signal when received is amplified, equalized for amplitude characteristics and reconstructed by the preamplifier, automatic line build out
(ALBO), clock and data threshold circuits. Amplitude
equalization is achieved through shaping the frequency
spectrum with the help of variable impedance ALBO
ports.

Timing information is contained in the incoming pulse
stream. This signal is full wave rectified and applied to
an L-C tank circuit to extract the clock signal at the data rate. The clock signal is amplified and phase shifted
between Pins 13 and 12 to obtain 90· phase shift by
means of an R-L-C circuit.
SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
The XR-T5660 is a monolithic bipolar PCM repeater IC
operating at 1.544 (T1), 2.048 and 2.37 (T148C) M bitsl
sec. It is the low power version of XR-T5620 PCM repeater IC. It contains all the active circuitry to implement one side of a PCM repeater operating on either
pulp or plastic insulated cables. Repeater to repeater
spacing on either type of cable is 6300 ft. max.
Data is sampled and stored in the output data latches
by an internally generated sampling pulse. Buffer drivers are then enabled to produce precisely timed output
pulses whose width and time of occurence are controlled by the regenerated clock.

European 2 M Bitls PCM Repeater
The XR-T5700fT5720 performs most of the functions required for one side of a PCM repeater operating at 2 M
bitls or similar baud rate. The integrated circuit amplifies the received positive and negative pulses and
feeds them into Automatic Line Build-out (ALBO), clock
and data threshold detectors, see Figure 1. The ALBO
threshold detector ensures that the received pulses at
Pins 7 and 8 have the correct amplitude and shape.
This is carried out by controlling the gain and frequency
shaping of the ALBO network with three variable impedance ALBO ports.

The clock threshold detector extracts timing Information from the pulses received at Pins 7 and 8 and
passes it into open collector Pin 18. A crystal filter is
connected from Pin 18 to clock amplifier input Pins 16
and 15. The sinusoidal-type waveform is amplified into
a square wave at Pin 13, and forwarded through an external phase shift network into Pin 12. This waveform
provides the data sampling pulse which opens latches
into which the data from the data threshold detectors is
passed. The resulting pulses are stored for half a bit period (normally 488 ns for 2 M bitls) in the latches. They
appear as half-width output pulses at Pins 10 and 11.

TIC PCM Repeater (requires external preamplifier)
Bipolar PCM signal is attenuated and dispersed in time
as it travels along the transmission cable, characteristics of which vary with length, frequency, temperature
and humidity. The PCM Signal when received is amplified, equalized for amplitude characteristics and reconstructed by the preamplifier, automatic line build out
(ALBO), clock and data threshold circuits. Amplitude
equalization is achieved through shaping the frequency
spectrum with the help of variable impedance ALBO
ports.

SEMI·CUSTOM DESIGN CONCEPT
tive or cooperative development effort between Exar
and the customer. In most cases, the cost and develop·
ment time for the program can be reduced even further,
if the customer does the design and breadboarding of
his own semi-custom IC, using Exar Design Kits, instruction manuals and layout sheets.
Traditionally, the development of custom IC's has been
a long and costly undertaking. The development time
would normally run in excess of one year, design
changes are slow and costly, and it may take a long
time to get from the prototype stage to full production.
Because of these difficulties, the use of custom IC's
could be economically justified only when a very large
quantity of circuits, i.e., several hundred-thousand
units, were required during the life of the end product.
In the past, these drawbacks have severely limited the
use of custom monolithic IC's.
The semi-custom design approach is based on a number of standardized IC chips with fixed component locations. These standardized IC chips, called MasterChips, contain a large number of undedicated active
and passive components (i.e., transistors, resistors,
logic gates, etc.). These integrated components can be
interconnected in thousands of different ways with a
customizing interconnection pattern. Each different
metal interconnection pattern creates a new custom IC.
The figures below show the magnified photograph of a
Master-Chip, both in its prefabricated form and after its
customization with a special interconnection pattern.
This method is called semi-custom rather than full custom, since only the last layer of tooling is changed to
customize an IC chip, and rest of the layers are stan·
dard. As a result, the development phase is very short,
far less expensive and risk free, compared to conven·
tional full or dedicated custom IC's. Similarly, if a design
change or iteration is necessary, it can be readily accommodated within a matter of weeks by simply generating a new or modified interconnection pattern.
The semi-custom design concept, pioneered by Exar,
now overcomes this traditional problem. Exar makes
this possible by stocking wafers that are completely
fabricated except for the final process step of device interconnection which metalizes all selected components together in the required circuit configuration. This
enables an engineer to design a metal mask based on
his circuit which will interconnect the uncommitted
components on the prefabricated wafers, and thus convert them into customized chips corresponding to the
customer's design. This unique method of IC design
and development allows one to develop an almost unlimited variety of custom linear or digital integrated circuits at very substantial cost savings.
The semi-custom program is intended for those customers seeking cost effective methods of reducing
component count and board size in order to compete
more effectively in a changing marketplace. The program allows a customized monolithic IC to be developed with a turnaround time of several weeks, at approximately 10% to 20 % of the development costs for
tooling associated with the conventional full custom designs. The semi-custom design concept is an interac-
Exar offers a wide choice of Master-Chips for linear and
digital semi-custom design. Presently, Master-Chips are
available in linear bipolar, linear compatible 12L and
CMOS technologies. Additional chips are under development for a variety of special applications. The details
of each of the presently available chips are discussed
in the later section of this book.

avoids any possible design pitfalls or misunderstandings. This early interaction also allows you to find out
some of the options or variations available in Exar's
semi-custom programs and choose the one which is
best suited to your needs.
Exar offers three Design Kits: One for linear bipolar, one
for 12L and one for CMOS. Since the general approach
to semi-custom design is the same as that for full custom, these design kits are valuable tools for both full
custom and semi-custom design work. This is especially true in the case of linear design. Each of these kits
contain a comprehensive design manual, a set of semicustom layout sheets and a P.C. board, IC sockets and
other hardware for building your breadboard. The only
active components in these kits, that are meant for use
in breadboarding, are the transistor arrays found in the
linear bipolar and 12L deSign kits. The logiC blocks
found in the 12L design kit is meant to be used for process evaluation. Digital breadboarding can be done using the appropriate logic family such as 74LXX, 74CXX
or 4XXX. The kits are deSigned so that an engineer,
armed only with a background in discrete design, a calculator and a pencil, can design his own customized integrated circuit. The technical material is presented in
a straight forward, no·nonsense format with iots of illustrative figures and all of the pertinent equations.
The following is required by Exar's technical staff to provide you with an accurate feasibility study of your project. and a budgetary estimate of the development
costs, timetables and production pricing.
• A block diagram of circuit function and inputloutput
interface requirements.
• A circuit schematic or logic diagram of your circuit.
• Preliminary or objective performance specifications
and limits on critical circuit parameters (also possible
tradeoffs which may be allowed).
o Types of electrical testing required for production
units (I.e., ac or dc parametric testing, functional testing, etc.).
After the circuit is designed, and before it is breadboarded, it is recommended that the customer send
Exar a schematic and a circuit description for an engineering evaluation. Normally, there is no charge for
such an evaluation. Exar has successfully completed
well over 850 custom design programs and our experience can provide valuable guidelines. Exar's Applications Engineering department is ready and able to help
our semi-custom design program customers in both the
breadboard and layout stage. We can provide immediate answers to your circuit design or testing questions,
and speed your custom design on its way.

WHAT PACKAGE TYPES ARE AVAILABLE?
WHAT IF MY PRODUCTION REQUIREMENTS
EXCEED MY INITIAL EXPECTATIONS?
All semi·custom IC's are available in dual·in·line (DIP)
packages. Commercial grade units are normally pack·
aged in plastic DIP packages. Exar offers a wide selec·
tion of such packages, in B·, 14·, 16·, 1B·, 20·, 22·,24·,
2B· and 40·pin versions. The industrial or military grade
products requiring hermetic packaging are available in
frlt·seal ceramic packages (CERDIP). Other packages,
such as molded plastic flat packs, single·ln·line (SIP),
small-outline (8.0.) packages and lead less carriers, are
also available. All of the packaged units are subjected
to Exar's stringent quality assurance specifications pri·
or to shipment.
Using the semi·custom IC, it is not unusual for an end
product to be extremely successful in a very short time.
In that case, the anticipated volume of the custom IC
may jump from a few thousand units to several hundred
thousand units. When this happens, Exar can quickly
convert your semi·custom design to a full custom chip
and make it much more cost effective for you. Translat·
ing a semi·custom design to a full custom IC is a very
simple, trouble free step which can normally be done in
less than six months, and at a modest cost.
CAN EXAR SUPPLY CHIPS?
IS THERE A SECOND SOURCE FOR
SEMI-CUSTOM IC's?
All of Exar's semi·custom products can also be sup·
plied in chip form for hybird assemblies. A detailed description of the electrical specifications, visual inspec·
tion criteria, and the handling and shipping options
available for monolithic chips is given in a later section
of this book.
In most high volume production applications of IC's the
customer often requires more than one supplier of a
given IC. Anticipating this alternate source require·
ment, Exar has made contractual agreements with oth·
er IC manufacturers to provide a second source for
Exar's seml·custom IC's.
CAN EXAR DO ENVIRONMENTAL SCREENING?
In certain cases, where a critical supply situation may
exist, Exar can also provide a special bonded inventory
of parts, either in chip form or in packaged form, by pri·
or arrangement with the customer.
Exar has complete burn·in, environmental test and
screening services available for temperature stressing,
thermal shock or humidity and hermeticity tests. For a

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
AND THEIR ANSWERS
Typical costs of additional deSign cycles are $2,000 to
$4,500 for bipolar and CMOS designs and $3,500 to
$5,000 for 12L designs. These costs also include the additional prototypes supplied at the completion of the deSign iteration cycle.
Based on our long experience with Exar's semi-custom
Master-Chips, we have compiled a comprehensive
glossary of the most often asked questions concerning
the program. The following is a list of these questions
and their answers.
WHAT ABOUT PRODUCTION PRICING?
WHAT IS THE COST OF THE BASIC PROGRAM?
The production pricing of monolithic IC's depends upon
a number of important factors such as:
The cost of the semi-custom development program depends on how much of the design and layout is done by
the customer. In general, the basic semi-custom program is where the customer does the design, breadboard evaluation and pencil layout on the Master-Chip
worksheet; and Exar does only the IC tooling and prototype fabrication. This is the most economical and cost
effective approach.
a) Master-Chip type.
b) Circuit complexity (i.e., yield).
c) Device performance and test requirements.
d) Special environmental screening requirements
(burn-in, hermeticity tests, etc.).
For bipolar semi-custom designs, the development cost
of the basic program is in the range of $3,500 to
$6,000, starting with an accurate layout supplied by the
customer. The above prices also include the cost of 50
monolithic prototypes delivered at the completion of the
program. Additional prototypes are available at a nominal cost, in minimum lots of 200 units.
e) Package type required.
In the case of a custom IC, it is impossible to anticipate
the impact of these factors without detailed knowledge
about the circuit and its application. Each custom IC,
by definition, has some unique requirement or feature
associated with it. After reviewing your specific needs,
particularly with regard to the circuit performance and
quality requirements, Exar can provide you with a detailed proposal outlining the development costs and
production pricing for your particular circuit.
In the case of 12L or CMOS semi-custom deSigns, the
basic development program costs are in the range of
$4,200 to $8,500, depending on the layout complexity
and the particular Master-Chip used. This development
cost also includes 25 monolithic prototypes. Additional
prototypes are available at a nominal cost, in minimum
lots of 200 units each.
WHAT ABOUT THE TESTING OF SEMI·CUSTOM IC's?
WHAT IS THE DEVELOPMENT TIME?
Exar will develop test software and fixtures to provide
fully tested production IC's. All production devices receive 100% electrical test and screening to a mutually
agreed upon device specification. In addition to the
complete electrical testing, all of the production devices are screened by Exar's Quality Assurance department to assure compliance with the agreed upon Acceptable Quality Level (AQL) standards.
Typical development time for the basic bipolar semicustom program is four to six weeks, starting with the
customer's pencil layout and ending with the monolithic
prototypes. If Exar is required to do the IC layout or
breadboard evaluation, several additional weeks may
be required to complete the development program.
In the case of 12L or CMOS semi-custom development
programs, the typical development time is eight to ten
weeks, starting with the pencil layout of the MasterChip worksheet. The 12L semi-custom program takes
slightly longer than bipolar or CMOS because it requires three layers of custom tooling, rather than one,
to customize a prefabricated Master-Chip.
There is normally a nonrecurring engineering charge
associated with this test system generation. This covers the cost of the test fixture and computer software
development. Depending on the complexity of the test
reqUirements, this test engineering charge is normally
in the range of $800 to $1,250.
Exar can perform two basic types of tests for production IC's: (1) parametric testing which measures a specific parameter value (normally current or voltage) and
compares it against pre-established limits; (2) functional testing which applies a series of operating conditions
and compares the circuit under test with a known good
device. These two types of tests can be performed both
as steady state (dc) or dynamic (ac) measurements.
WHAT IF ADDITIDNAL DESIGN CYCLES ARE NEEDED?
If the customer desires to modify the design or layout
after evaluation of the initial prototypes, a new design iteration cycle can be completed within five weeks for
the bipolar and CMOS designs, and within eight to ten
weeks for the 12L designs.
2-5
ECONOMICS OF SEMI-CUSTOM DESIGN
In developing either linear or digital custom circuits,
one is always confronted with the following key question: for a given product type and production requirement, is it cheaper to develop a semi-custom or full
custom IC? Since the functional requirements of each
custom IC program vary greatly, there is no general answer to the above question. However, based on Exar's
long experience in both full and semi-custom IC design
and depending on the overall production requirements,
it is possible to establish some sound economic guidelines for choosing the most cost effective approach.
priced at $3.20 each, at the same 50,000 production
level. Then, its amortized per unit price will be $3.30, or
approximately 20% cheaper than a full custom.
The figure below gives a comparative graph of the amortized unit price for a typical full custom design, along
with the equivalent in semi-custom form for various production quantities. For comparison purposes, the relative ratio of the amortized unit price is plotted along the
vertical axis. If this ratio is greater than 1.0 then the
semi-custom method is the more cost effective solution.
COST FACTORS INVOLVED.
NO TWO IC's ARE THE SAME
Any custom IC development, whether full or semicustom, involves similar types of cost factors. These
are:
By definition, each custom IC type is unique. Therefore,
the cost comparison curve given below is shown as a
spread rather than a single line. This is because, in addition to the production quantity, the cost of monolithic
IC's also depends on the circuit complexity, special test
requirements and the IC package type.
1. Non recurring engineering (NRE) or development
costs.
2. Cost or unit price of the product in production quantities.
The key information contained in the relative cost vs.
quantity figure can be summarized as follows:
In the case of monolithic IC's, particularly those which
have relatively limited production volume, the development costs may be a significant factor in the cost of the
end product. Therefore, when discussing the economics of custom IC's for medium to low production
quantities, it is best to consider the cost tradeoffs in
terms of the amortized unit price of the IC at a given
production volume. This amortized unit price is defined
as the actual cost of each unit including its share of the
development cost. As an example, a full custom IC may
cost $50,000 to develop and may be priced at $2.90
each at a 50,000 piece total production level. Then, its
true amortized unit price including development costs
will be $2.90 plus $1.00, or $3.90. Similarly, an equivalent semi-custom IC may cost $5,000 to develop and be
1. For a total production requirement of 50,000 pieces
or less, the semi-custom approach is definitely the
most economical.
2. For a production requirement of 200,000 pieces or
more, the full custom design is more cost effective.
3. For production quantity requirements in the 50,000
to 200,000 piece range, the crossover point for the
most economical approach will depend strongly on
the specifics of a particular IC function; i.e., its special test, environmental screening, and package reqUirements.

CONVERTING SEMI-CUSTOM TO FULL CUSTOM
Exar can offer you the combined advantages of semicustom and full custom design programs. This is because Exar has a complete semiconductor manufacturing facilities. This unique capability allows Exar to state
a custom development program using a combination of
semi-custom Master-Chips during the initial phases of a
customer's product, taking full advantage of the low
tooling cost and short development cycle. As the product matures and its market expands (resulting in higher
volume production run rates) Exar can convert the mUltiple semi-custom chip approach into a single custom
IC, thus achieving a cost reduction and in many cases
a performance improvement. The significant advantage
of this type of program is that the risk associated with a
custom development is greatly reduced. The IC deSign
approach has been proven, production "bugs" are out
of the product and your production line continues to
flow during the full custom chip development. Once the
custom chip is completely characterized and found acceptable, the semi-custom IC system in your product
can be phased out while the full custom IC is being
phased in.
In this manner, the customer has the best of both
worlds with the combination of these two technologies.
The quick turnaround advantage of semi-custom
Master-Chips provide prototypes and initial production
units, while the subsequent full custom design provides
cost savings at high volume production. During this
transition, the customer is assured of a continuous flow
of product through its production line.
In such a two-step development, the semi-custom prototypes often serve as a monolithic breadboard to optimize and debug the final design. This allows deSign iterations or changes to be made quickly and inexpensively. In fact, the only difference between the semi-custom
and full custom chip is the actual size of the silicon
chip.
Once the design is satisfactory, conversion of a semicustom to a full custom chip is very straight forward
and relatively risk free. We simply remove the unused
electrical components from the chip to reduce the chip
size and pass the resulting cost savings on to you in the
form of a reduced unit price.
SEMI- AND FULL CUSTOM COMBINATION:
THE TWO-STEP DEVELOPMENT
The two-step development capability; i.e., start as semicustom and finish as full custom, is a very powerful design technique. It avoids the risks associated with a
conventional black box type of custom design where
one does not know until the very last day of development whether the circuit works or if it can be manufactured.
In many custom development programs one is faced
with very short development times and a rapid transfer
into high volume production. Such a requirement does
not leave room for lengthy development and design
change or iteration cycles associated with conventional
full custom IC design.
The two-step program is faster and less expensive than
the conventional full custom development, since it
avoids costly and lengthy design iteration or modification cycles for a full custom IC. In addition, it gives the
customer a very high degree of assurance that the final
full custom unit will work the first time.
Exar combines full and semi-custom design capabilities, and a complete wafer fabrication facility under one
roof, therefore, providing a unique solution to this problem; initially developing the prototypes in a semicustom form, and then converting them to full custom.

TESTING OF SEMI-CUSTOM IC's
TEST INTERFACE DEVELOPMENT
All production units of semi-custom IC's are 100%
electrically tested and screened to test specifications
which have been mutually agreed upon between Exar
and the customer, using one of Exar's several computerized test systems. In addition, Exar's Quality Assurance department performs an independent set of electrical tests on randomly selected samples of production
units, prior to shipment, to assure conformity with
Exar's Acceptable Quality Level (AQL) standards.
The performance and characterization data derived
from careful prototype evaluation is the basis upon
which test hardware and software is developed. Exar
and the customer will jointly determine the performance expectations to be placed on this new IC, and
once these specifications are agreed upon, Exar will
proceed with test development.
Test development involves the design and construction
of a test interface circuit, probe card and automatic
handler hardware as well as writing the software which
allows Exar's test system to perform the desired electrical tests. All these elements are then brought together under actual production conditions for evaluation
and system debugging. This process can take from
four to six weeks to complete, depending on the sophistication and complexity of the test plan under development. Test development begins concurrently with the
start of production wafers (which require approximately
6 weeks to process).
EXAR's TEST CAPABILITIES
Exar can perform two basic types of tests for production IC's: (1) parametric testing which measures a specific parameter value (normally current or voltage) and
compares it against pre-established limits; (2) functional testing which applies a series of operating conditions
and compares the circuit under test with a known good
device. These two types of tests can be performed both
as steady state (dc) or dynamic (ac) measurements.
Exar provides 100 % electrical testing of IC chips in wafer form, using automated wafer probe stations, and in
packaged form, using automatic handlers. Exar's test
facility currently has fifteen independent computer controlled test systems, with more being added as we
grow. Exar's automated test system compliment is
comprised of:

SPECIFICATION AGREEMENT LETTER
With each new custom IC Exar issues a Specification
Agreement Letter. This specification states precisely
the test conditions, performance levels and environmental requirements which each production IC must
meet before it can leave our factory, and is the document upon which acceptability of the IC is judged. It is
issued in duplicate and signed by responsible representatives from both companies prior to beginning production. One copy is retained by the customer, the other is returned to Exar.

Testing is one of the most critical steps in IC production. Therefore, to insure efficient and cost effective
testing of production IC's, it is essential that a preliminary test plan be prepared jointly between the customer and Exar at an early stage of the custom development. This preliminary test plan will lead to the final
detailed test specifications, once the development prototypes are fully evaluated and characterized and the
circuit is ready to release to production.
If, for some reason, changes in the IC's specification
are required, a new Specification Agreement Letter will
be issued by Exar reflecting these changes. No
change, however, will be put into effect until both companies have signed the new agreement. This document
will then supercede all prior agreements and remain in
effect until both firms, again agree, a change is required.

cases are those where the package pin-outs are predetermined, or the choice of component locations on the
die may be fixed due to thermal consideration, circuitry
symmetry or offset requirements. In certain cases the
series or parallel connection of several resistors to obtain a predetermined value, or paralleling several transistors to increase their current handling capability,
may also limit the total component utilization.
COMPONENT UTILIZATION
The total number of components on the Exar Linear
Master-Chips range from 110 on the XR-Cl00A to 850
on the XR-Wl00. However, the number of these components that are actually usable depends upon many
considerations. The first thing that must be evaluated is
the general requirements of the finished circuil. Factors such as the number of pins that are required,
breakdown voltage as well as die size limitation imposed by packaging requirements, determine which of
the Master-Chips are suitable. This can impose limitations on the number of available components.
Over 850 custom programs have been completed to
date, using Exar's bipolar Master-chips. Thus, Exar's
Engineering department has a great wealth of experience concerning the layout techniques utilizing the
Master-Chips. In many cases, it is advantageous for the
customer to call Exar for a free consultation regarding
the choice of a particular Master-Chip which may be
best suited for his application.
Circuit characteristics also impose limitations upon the
number of usable components. For example, a circuit
whose package pin configuration can be chosen freely,
that handles small signals, low supply voltages, is insensitive to dc offset voltages, and whose various circuit blocks follow one another with a minimum of interconnections between blocks, may be able to use over
90% of the components on the selected Master-Chip.
The bipolar Master-Chips are laid out to provide easy
routing of metal interconnection paths. In addition, a
multiplicity of low resistance crossunders are provided
on the chip to simplify the interconnection layoul.
Based on our experience in the layout of various
Master-Chips, the table below gives a rough estimate of
the ease of Interconnection of a circuit on each of the
Master-Chips, versus the number of components used
in the circuil.
On the other hand, in more complex designs requiring
special layout or design considerations, the component
utilization may be as low as 50%. Examples of such

LINEAR SEMI-CUSTOM DESIGN CYCLE: SIX SIMPLE STEPS
The basic linear semi-custom design program involves only 6 single steps, from the beginning of circuit design to the
completion of monolithic prototypes. The first four of these steps can be done by either the customer in consultation
with Exar or by Exar. The last two are performed by Exar.
Step 1
Circuit design and
breadboard using
Linear Design Kit.
Customer purchases Exar's Linear IC Design Kit, made up of a comprehensive Design Manual and monolithic kit parts. The circuit is designed, breadboarded and its
performance evaluated using these kit parts. The electrical characteristics of the kit
parts Are virtually identical to the component which will be on the finished IC chip.
Thus, this step provides a true simulation of the final IC performance.
Circuit layout
is prepared
After the completion of breadboard evaluation, a layout of the circuit on the selected
Master Chip by following the basic layout rules given in the Design Manual. The layout is done simply by interconnecting appropriate device terminals with pen or pencil lines on oversize drawings of the Master Chips supplied with the kit.
Layout review
Exar reviews the circuit layout and schematic to check the following:
a) That basic circuit function is feasible
b) No layout rules are violated
c) Circuit layout accurately represents the circuit schematic.
NOTE: Exar offers consulting service and design advice during these first three
steps.
Exar generates custom
interconnection pattern.
Using the completed Master-Chip layout sheet, Exar generates a custom interconnection pattern, or metal mask to be applied to pre-fabricated Master-Chip wafers.
Exar fabricates customized
IC wafers.
Exar applies the custom interconnection patterns to pre-fabricated Master-Chip wafers. During this customization process, the hardware and software necessary to
test the prototypes is made ready. After the wafers are customized, each die is tested by an automatic tester.
Exar assembles and
delivers monolithic
prototypes.
The customized IC wafers are scribed or cut into individuallC chips. After a visual inspection, several die that tested "good" are assembled in cerdip packages. These
packaged devices are then tested again before shipment. Fifty assembled IC's, and
test data for correlation purposes, are sent to the customer in a prototype package
that includes a die photo, device schematic test details and a layout sheet.

LINEAR DESIGN KIT
Exar's Linear Design Kit is comprised of thirty-eight
monolithic kit parts or breadboard components, a comprehensive Linear Design Manual, and a number of layout forms corresponding to Exar's Linear Master-Chips.
This design kit provides an ideal vehicle for the customer to do his own semi-custom IC design. he can
evaluate his breadboard performance using the kit
parts and then proceed to do his own layout on the
Master-Chip worksheet.
on a breadboard In a couple of minutes with a pair of
pliers and a hot soldering iron. Changes on an IC are
much more expensive and time consuming. The breadboard can be tested over temperature in a temperature
chamber and circuit performance can be measured
with worst case resistor values. Preliminary test specifications can also be readily developed from a properly
functioning breadboard. Next to the initial paper design, breadboarding is the most important step in IC development.
The Linear Design Manual Provided as a part of the design kit gives a detailed description of the basic guidelines and rules of IC design, evaluation and layout. It also describes the electrical characteristics of each type
of component available in the Master-Chips, and gives
some of the anticipated parameter distribution and
worst case tolerances associated with each. In addition, several design and layout examples are provided
to demonstrate the efficient use of the IC chips.
KIT PARTS
Since the purpose of breadboarding is to build a Circuit
that will duplicate, as closely as possible, the performance of the finished IC, Exar has included with this design kit a generous supply of kit parts. These kit parts
are the same integrated components that you will find
on the finished IC. They are metalized and brought out
individually so that you can use them to connect your
circuit. The table below lists the kit parts that come with
the design kit; how many of each are included, and
which components are found on each Master-Chip.
Once the breadboard evaluation is complete, the designer is ready to start his own IC layout using the appropriate Master-Chip layout form supplied with the kit.
When this layout is ready and is reviewed by Exar, the
prototype fabrication portion of the custom program is
ready to begin.
Generally speaking, the integrated resistor arrays need
only be used in circuits where certain characteristics of
these resistors, such as high frequency response or
temperature coefficients, are critical to circuit performance. In most cases, standard off-the-shelf carbon film
resistors are entirely adequate for breadboarding.
TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE
If any special or unusual circuit design or layout problems are encountered in the preparation of your semicustom IC layout, Exar's technical staff will be glad to
review your design problem and provide technical guidance. In many cases, it is beneficial to call Exar for a
preliminary discussion of your custom IC needs even
before you decide to buy a design kit.
BREADBOARDING TECHNIQUES
The single most important thing to remember when you
are building a breadboard is that you are trying to simulate the operation of a circuit that measures approximately a tenth of an inch on a side with one that measures several inches on a side. Although this task is not
impossible, it does require a significant amount of planning and forethought, if it is to be successful.
ADDITIONAL KIT PARTS
The number of kit parts supplied as part of the Linear
Design Kit is sufficient for most designs. However, if
additional kit parts are required to complete your evaluation, these can be obtained either directly from Exar
or through your local Exar technical representative.
Included in the Exar DeSign Kit are conveniences, such
as a prototyping board and IC sockets, to make breadboarding easier and quicker.
It Is arranged on a matrix format so that individual kit
parts can be easily located and identified. Space is provided at the top of the breadboard for identifying the circuit title, the design engineeJ, the revision, as well as
the data of construction. The interdigitated metal runs
are designed to serve as V+ and ground for single supply applications; or as V + and V - with the outside border serving as ground or dual supply applications. An
edge connector has been provided so that you can easily connect your breadboard to power supplies, signal
sources and test equipment, without having to solder
leads directly to the breadboard. This allows you to disconnect the breadboard to test kit parts on a curve
tracer or to make circuit modifications without destroying your test setup.
BREADBOARDING
After a circuit has been designed and analyzed on paper, it is time to reduce the theoretical design to a functioning circuit that will duplicate, as closely as possible,
the operation of the finished integrated circuit. This is
the purpose of breadboarding. A great deal of care
needs to be taken during this phase of IC development.
Accurate breadboarding will not only allow you to gain
an accurate assessment of the performance you can
expect from the finished IC, but it will also allow you to
discover circuit design flaws. A correctly connected,
nonfunctional breadboard is a very vivid indication that
something has been overlooked. Changes can be made

General Notes on Kit Parts
1) Dual collector PNP's will have both collectors tied together and acting as one collector unless shown otherwise in a kit part outline.
2) Kit parts with small NPN's use all available collector
contacts on each device. The designer should note
that if fewer than the full complement of collector
contacts (generally four) are used when designing
the I.C. layout, slightly degraded performance may
result.
3) For proper operation of these kit parts the substrate
pin, labeled -:!:- ,must be tied to the lowest potential
in the circuit. Resistor kit parts require connection to
both the most positive and most negative potentials
within a circuit for proper operation.

12L SEMI-CUSTOM DESIGN
used with 12L Master-Chips to be generated simultaneously from a customer's pencil layout on the MasterChip worksheet. This unique mask generation technique, and the three-mask customizing method, are the
heart of Exar's 12L semi·custom program. In this manner, one is able to combine low cost, quick turnaround
capabilities of semi-custom designs with the high functional density of 12L technology, and still make very efficient use of the chip area.
Integrated Injection Logic (12L) technology extends the
capabilities of semi-custom design to high complexity
digital or combined analog/digital systems. Exar has
made this possible by the development of a family of
12L Master-Chips which combine a large number of 12L
gates and Schottky bipolar transistors on the same
chip. Similar to its bipolar counterpart, Exar's 12L semicustom program also utilizes partially fabricated silicon
wafers which are then customized by the application of
special mask patterns.
WHEN TO USE DIGITAL SEMI-CUSTOM
Exar's 12L Master-Chips utilize bipolar input/output (I/O)
interface circuitry on the same chip with the high density 12L logic arrays. Thus, outwardly the 12L semicustom chip looks and performs exactly as a bipolar LSI
chip, which can readily interface with TIL level signals.
In other words, these gate array Master-Chips combine
the high functional density advantages of 12L technology with the interface and load drive capability of the bipolar circuitry on the same IC. This feature makes it
very convenient to retrofit 12L LSI designs into existing
TIL type logic systems.
The key application of 12L semi-custom design is to replace complex blocks of random logic with a single
monolithic chip. An entire digital subsystem comprised
of many SSI or MSI chips, or discrete components, can
be put on a single 12L Master-Chip. This can provide
significant cost and space savings and greatly improve
system reliability. The availability of bipolar input/output
interface circuitry on the same chip with the high density 12L logic makes it very convenient to retrofit 12L designs into existing TIL logic systems. Therefore, semicustom 12L LSI designs provide cost effective solutions
for complex custom LSI requirements, even at production volumes as low as a few thousand pieces.
ACHIEVING HIGH COMPLEXITY
Traditionally, the application of semi-custom technology
to complex digital systems has been somewhat limited
due to one key factor; in order to be economically feasible, a complex digital LSI circuit must achieve a high
functional density on the chip (high gate count per unit
of chip area). This requirement is not compatible with
the random interconnection concept which is key to the
semi-custom or Master-Chip design technique. Exar's
approach overcomes this limitation, by making use of
the unique layout and interconnection properties of 12L
gates, and by extending the customizing steps to mask
layers. In addition to the metal interconnection pattern,
Exar can achieve high packing density and still retain
the quick turnaround features and low cost of semicustom.
FEATURES OF 12L TECHNOLOGY
High Functional Density: 12L logic gates offer a much
smaller size than their bipolar counterparts. Thus, a
much higher degree of logic complexity or functional
density can be achieved on a given IC chip.
Easy to Interconnect: Unique structure and geometry of
121 gates make them ideal for semi-custom design. An
entire array of gates can be easily customized and interconnected using only three masks without sacrificing high functional density.
Bipolar Compatible Processing: 12L is a direct derivative of
conventional bipolar Ie technology. Therefore, one can
combine bipolar devices on the same chip as 12L gates.
This feature has the following key advantages:
Exar's 12L Master-Chips are customized by not one but
three mask layers:
• Input/output section of 12L chips are bipolar. Thus,
they can readily interface with existing logic families
or retrofit into existing systems.
1. A custom diffusion pattern to define gate outputs
and custom underpasses for interconnection.
2. A custom contact mask which opens contact windows or activates only those devices actually used
in the design.
o Analog and digital functions can be combined on the
same chip. One of Exar's Master-Chips, the XR-400,
is specifically deSigned for such an application.
3. A custom metal interconnection mask which interconnects all the activated devices.
FULLY AUTOMATED MASK GENERATION
Low Voltage Operation: 12L gates can operate with supply
voltages as low as one volt, and require only a single
power supply.
Exar has developed a fully automated mask generation
technique which allows all three custom mask layers
Low Current and Low Power Operation: Depending on
speed requirements, 12L gates can operate with current
2-36
LOGIC CONVERSION TO 12L GATES
levels in the nanoampere range. This feature, along
with its low voltage operation makes it ideal for applications in low power, battery operated systems.
Converting conventional logic diagrams from their
NAND/NOR gate equivalents to 12L gates is a simple
and straightforward procedure. This information is contained in the 12L Design Manual, which is available as a
part of Exar's 12L Design Kit. In addition, Exar has developed a large library of 12L logic subblocks corresponding to popular logic functions, such as decoders,
flip-flops and counters, which greatly simplifies this
conversion process.
Higher Reliability Than MOS: Since 12L gates have the
same basic features as bipolar transistors, they are not
subject to electrostatic burn-out problems associated
with MOS transistors and do not require special handling precautions.
Wide Operating Temperature: 12L gates are not seriously
affected by leakage currents as are their MOS counterparts. Thus, they can accommodate the full military
temperature range.

COMPARISON OF SPEED AND POWER CAPABILITIES
OF VARIOUS LOGIC FAMILIES
XR·200, XR·300 and XR·50D MASTER·CHIPS
These Master-Chips are primarily designed for applications requiring only digital signal processing. They contain a large number of multiple output 12L gates along
with Schottky bipolar input/output buffers. Except for
the difference in size, all three chips have the same architecture shown below. The 12L gates are arranged in
array form at the center of the chip and the input/output
buffers are located along the periphery of the chip. The
bipolar I/O sections of the chips contain two identical
sets of resistor arrays located at opposite ends of the
chip which are used for biasing the injectors of the 12L
gates. The XR-200 contains 192 five-output 12L gates
and 24 I/O buffers. The XR-300 contains 288 five-output
12L gates and 28 I/O buffers. The XR-500 contains 520
five-output 12L gates and 40 I/O buffers. A detailed description of the bipolar input/output interface circuitry is
given further on in the text.
THE BASIC 12L GATE
The 12L logic technology is derived from the basic single input, multiple output inverter circuit shown below.
The logic functions are performed in a manner similar
to the conventional open-collector logic. The outputs of
various gates are interconnected together in a wiredAND configuration. Many sections of the 12L gate share
common semi-conductor regions. For example, the collector of the pnp is the same as the base of the npn,
and the emitter of the npn is the same as the base of
the pnp. This leads to a very compact device structure
which occupies a correspondingly small chip area. As a
result, the functional density of 12L gates is comparable
to that of some MOS technologies and is approximately
5 times higher than conventional TTL logic.

contains 256 five-output 12L gates and 18 Schottky bipolar 1/0 interface sections. The linear section of the
chip is made up of an array of npn and pnp transistors
and resistors' and is very similar to Exar's bipolar
Master-Chips.

COMPONENT UTILIZATION
The unique three-mask customizing technique used in
Exar's 12L Master-Chips makes them very efficient for
both ease of logic layout and component utilization.
One of the three customizing mask steps is a custom
diffusion step which allows the placement of low resistance crossunders, or underpasses, selectively on the
chip. This technique provides the designer with virtually
two layers of interconnection on the chip and, thus,
greatly simplifies the logic layout and improves the
component utilization efficiency. Normally, in the case
of random combinational logiC, one can easily utilize
60% to 80% of the total gates available on a given 12L
Master-Chip. In the case of sequential and repetitive
logic circuits, the gate utilization is normally as high as
80% to 100%.

Chip Size (mils)
In the case of the XR-400 Master-Chip, which combines
analog circuit components and digital gates on the
same chip, the three-mask customizing technique is
applicable to the digital section, while the analog section of the chip is customized with one mask in the
same way as the linear Master-Chips.

DIFFUSION FOR
12 lGATES
This section of the 12L Master-Chip is made up of logic
cells which contain a number of multiple output 12L inverters grouped together. The figure below shows a typicallayout of such a cell made up of eight multiple output inverters which share a common set of four injectors. The basic gate cells forming the 12L gate array are
made up of p-type injectors and p-type gate fingers
which serve as the base regions of the 12L gates. The
six dots on each gate area indicate the possible locations (or sites) for gate inputs or outputs. The particular
use of these sites as an input or output is determined
by two custom masks. An n-type collector diffusion
mask defines the locations of outputs and a custom
contact mask opens the appropriate input and output
contacts. Finally, a third custom mask is applied to
form the metal interconnections between the gates and
the gate cells. The custom n-type diffusion step, which
determines the locations of gate outputs, is also used
for forming low resistivity underpasses between the
gate cells. The area between each of the gate cells can
accommodate two or three parallel underpasses in the
horizontal or vertical direction. Since the n-type diffusion which forms these underpasses is a part of the
customizing step, the location and length of each underpass can be chosen to fit a given interconnection
requirement. This method provides the designer with
virtually all of the advantages and capabilities of mUltilayer interconnection paths on the surface of the chip
and allows approximately 80% of the gates on the chip
to be utilized in a typical logic layout.
The custom logic interconnections can be easily laid
out in pencil on a layout sheet by simply interconnecting the desired gate sites with a pencil line and appropriately defining the function of the site as an input, output, injector contact or an underpass. The function of
each of the potential sites is defined by simply drawing
an appropriate symbol on it, such as a circle for an output and a square for an input, as defined in the example
below.

INTROOUCTION
The circuit connection for the XR-220e FSK Generator
is shown in Figure 1. The data input is applied to Pin g.
A high-level signal selects the frequency (1/ReC3) Hz; a
low level signal selects the frequency (lIR7C3) Hz, (resistors in ohms and capacitors in farads). For optimum
stability, Re and R7 should be within the range of 10 kO
to 100 kO. The voltage applied to Pin 9 should be select·
ed to fall between ground and V +.
Frequency-shift keying (FSK) is the most commonly
used method for transmitting digital data over telecommunications links. In order to use FSK, a modulator/
demodulator (modem) is needed to translate digital 1's
and O's into their respective frequencies and back
again. This application note describes the design of a
modem using state-of-the-art Exar devices specifically
intended for modem application.
Note: Over and under voltage may damage the device.
The devices featured in this application note are the
XR-220e and XR-2207 FSK Modulators, and the
XR-2211 FSK demodulator with carrier detect capability. Because of the superior frequency stability of these
devices (typically 20 ppm/DC), a properly designed modem will be virtually free of the temperature and
voltage-dependent drift problems associated with many
other designs. In addition, the demodulator performance is independent of incoming signal strength variation over a eo dB dynamic range. Because bias voltages are generated internally, the external parts count
is much lower than in most other designs. The modem
designs shown in this application note can be used with
mark and space frequencies, anywhere from several
Hz to 100 kHz.
Potentiometers, RS and Rg, should be adjusted for mini'
mum total harmonic distortion. Iri applications where
minimal distortion is unnecessary, Pins 15 and 1e may
be left open-circuited and RS may be replaced by a
fixed 2000 resistor.

The XR-220e is ideal for FSK applications requiring the
spectral purity of a sinusoidal output waveform. It offers
TIL and CMOS compatibility, excellent frequency stability, and ease of application. The XR-220e can typically
provide a 3-volt pop sine wave output. Total harmonic
distortion can be trimmed to 0.5%. If left untrimmed, it
is approximately 2.5%.
In applications where a triangular output waveform is
satisfactory, Pins 13 through 1e may be left open·

The XR-2207 is a stable FSK generator which is designed for those applications where only a triangle or
square wave output is required. It is capable of either
single-channel or two-channel multiplex operation, and
can be used easily with either split- or single·power
supplies.

Figure 2 shows the XR-2207 using a single-supply and
Figure 3 shows split-supply operation. When used as an
FSK modulator, Pin 8 and 9 provide the digital inputs.
When the 2207 is used with a split-supply; the threshold
at these pins is approximately + 2 volts, which is a le\(el
that is compatible with both TTL and CMOS logic forms.
When used with a single-supply, the threshold is near
mid-supply and is CMOS compatible. Table 1 shows
how to select the timing resistors, R1 through R4, to de·
termine the output frequency based on the logic levels
applied to Pin 8 and 9. For optimum stability, the values
of R1 and R3 should be selected to fall between 10 kO
and 100 kll.

With Pin 8 grounded, Pin 9 serves as the data input. A
high·level signal applied to Pin 8 will disable the oscilla·

serves as the channel select input. For two·channel
multiplex operation, Pin 4 and 5 should be connected
as shown by the dotted lines. (For single channel operation, Pin 4 and 5 should be left open-circuited.)

The XR-2207 provides two outputs: a square wave at
Pin 13 and a triangle wave at Pin 14. (For safe operation, current into Pin 13 should be limited to 20 mA.)
When used with a split-supply, the triangle wave peakto-peak amplitude is equal to V - and the dc level is
near ground. Direct coupling is usually used. With a
single-supply, the peak-to-peak amplitude is approximately equal to one-halfN + , the dc level is approximately at mid-supply, and ac coupling is usually necessary. In either case, the output impedance is typically
100 and is internally protected against short circuits.

The XR-2211 FSK DEMODULATOR
FEATURES
The XR-2211 has three npn open·collector outputs,
each of which is capable of sinking up to 5 mA. Pin 7 is
the FSK data output, Pin 5 is the Q lock-detect output
which goes low when a carrier is detected, and Pin 6 is
the Q lock-detect output which goes high when lock is
detected. If Pin 6 and 7 are wired together, the output
signal from these terminals will provide data when FSK
is applied, and will be LOW when no carrier is present.
Typically 20 ppm/DC Temperature Stability
Simultaneous FSK and Carrier-Detect Output
Outputs are TTL and CMOS Compatible
Wide Dynamic Range (2 mV to 3V rms)
Split or Single Supply Operation
Low-Power Supply Sensitivity (0.05 % IV)
Low External Parts Count
If the lock-detect feature is not required, Pins 3, 5 and 6
may be left open-circuited.
The XR-2211 is an FSK demodulator which operates on
the phase-locked loop principle. Its performance is virtually independent of input signal strength variations,
over the range of 2 mV to 3V rms.
Figure 4 shows the circuit connection for the XR-2211.
The center frequency is determined by fo = (lICI R4)
Hz, where capacitance is in farads and resistance is in
ohms. Calculation for fo should fall mid-way between
the mark and space frequencies.
The tracking range (± .1.f) is the range 01 frequencies
over which the phase-locked loop can retain lock with a
swept input signal. This range is determined by the formula: .1.f = (R4fO/R5) Hz . .1.1 should be made equal to,
or slightly less than, the difference between the mark
and space frequencies. For optimum stability, choose
an R4 between 10 kO and 100 kO.
Figure 4: The XR-2211 FSK Demodulator with Carrier
Detect
The capture range (±.1.fcl is the range of frequencies
over which the phase-locked loop can acquire lock. It is
always less than the tracking range. The capture range
is limited by C2, which, in conjunction with R5, forms
the loop filter time constant. In most modem applica·
tions, .1.fc = (80%-99%).1.1.

The FSK output filter time constant (TF) removes chatter from the FSK output. The formula is: TF = RFCF
Normally calculate TF to be approximately equal to [0.3/
(baud rate)] seconds.
XR-2211 TRACKING CHARACTERISTICS
The lock-detect filter capacitor (CD) removes chatter
from the lock-detect output. With RD = 510 kO, the
minimum value of CD can be determined by: CD(J.lI) ""
16/capture range in Hz.
As seen above, the XR·2211 produces at its phase de·
tector output a voltage VPD, which has a peak to peak
value equal to about VREF for a frequency swing from

CIRCUIT DESIGN
DESIGN EXAMPLES
I. Design a modem to handle a 10 kilobaud data rate, using
Table 2 shows recommended component values for the
three most commonly used FSK bands. In many instances, system constraints dictate the use of some
non-standard FSK bands. The XR-2206/XR-2207/XR2211 combination Is suitable for any range of frequencies from several Hertz to 100 kiloHertz.
the minimum necessary bandwidth.
A. Frequency Calculation
Because we want to use the minimum possible
bandwidth (lowest possible upper frequency) we
will use a 55:100 frequency ratio. The frequency
difference, or 45%·.of the upper frequency, will
be 83% of 10,000. We therefore chose an upper
frequency:
Here are several guidelines to use when calculating
non-standard frequencies:
• For maximum baud rate, choose the highest upper
frequency that is consistent with the system bandwidth.
83 x 10,000 = 18.444 kHz =18.5 kHz.
45
• The lower frequency must be at least 55% of the upper frequency (less than a 2:1 ratio).
and the lower frequency:
0.55 x 18.5 kHz
• For minimum demodulated output pulse-width jitter,
select an FSK band whose mark and space frequencies are both high, compared to the baud rate. (i.e.,
for a 300 baud channel, mark and space frequencies
of 2025 Hz and 2225 Hz would result in significantly
less pulse-width jitter than 300 Hz and 550 Hz).
B. Component Selection
1. For the XR-2207 FSK modulator, set R1 = 30
kO. Now, select a value of Co to generate
10.175 kHz with Rr
10.175 kHz = 1/(CO x 30,000): Co = 3300pF.
• For any given pair of mark and space frequencies,
there is a limit to the baud rate that can be achieved.
When maximum spacing between the mark and
space frequencies Is used (where the ratio is close to
2:1) the relationship
mark-space frequency difference (Hz)
.
maximum data rate (baud)
= 10.175 kHz.
To choose R2:
18.500 khz - 10.175 kHz = 8.325 kHz =
1/Co R2: R2 = 36 kO.
A good choice would be to use 10 kO potentiometers for R1A and R2A, and to set R18 = 24 kO
and R2B = 30 kO.
~83%
should be observed.
2. For the XR-2206, we can make R7 equal to
R1, and C3 equal to Co above. To determine
R6:
For narrower spacing, the minimum ratio should be
about 67%.
18.5 kHz = lIR6C3: R6 = 16 kO
The values shown in Table 2 may be scaled proportionately for mark and space frequencies, maximum baud
rate, and (inversely) capaCitor value. It is best to retain
(approximately) the resistor values shown.
Use at 10 kO potentiometer for R6A and set
R6B = 13 kO.

III. Design a 2 channel multiplex FSK modulator to operate at
the following pairs of mark and space frequencies: 600 Hz
and 900 Hz, and 1400 and 1700 Hz (each of these channels could handle about 400 baud).
3. For the XR-2211 demodulator, we need to
first determine R4 and C1. First, fa = (fL +
fH)/2 = (10.175 + 18.500)/2 = 14.338 kHz.
If we make R4 = 25 kO, then 1/(C1 x 25,000)
= 14,338; C1 = 2790 pF =2700 pF. With
that value of C1, the precise value of R4 is
now 25.8 kO. Select R4B = 18 kO and use a
10 kO for R4A.
For this task, we will use the XR-2207. The only real
consideration here is that, if possible, we want to
keep the following resistances all between 10 kO
and 100 kO: R1, R1/R2, R3 and R3/R4. The ratio between the maximum and minimum frequencies is
less than 3: 1, so we should have no trouble meeting
this criterion. If we set our maximum frequency with
an R of about 20 kO, we have: 1700 = 11
(Co x 20,000); Co = 0.029 Itf which is approximately equal to 0.033 Itf.
C. Frequency Component Selection
1. To calculate R5, we first need our Af, which is
18,500 - 10.175, or 8.325 kHz:
8325 = (25,800 x 14,338)/R5
R5 = 44.4 kO =47 kO.
2. To determine C2 use l' = 1/2 = 114
Then, C2 = 1/4C1; C2 = 670 pF:
Calculating R1 using 600 Hz and 0.033 Itf, we get
R1 = 50,5 kO. We can use R1 B = 47 kO and R1A =
10 kO. For R2, we get 101 kO. Use R2B = 91 kO and
R2A = 20 kO. To determine R3, use: 1400 Hz = 11
R3Co, which gives us R3 = 21.6 kO. Use R3B = 18
kO and R3A = 5 kO. R4 must generate a 300 Hz
shift in frequency, the same as R2. Therefore, set
R4 equal to R2.

XR·C240 Monolithic PCM Repeater
INTRODUCTION
The XR-C240 is a monolithic repeater circuit for PulseCode Modulated (PCM) telephone systems_ It is designed to operate as a regenerative repeater at 1.544
Mega bits per second (Mbps) data rates on T-1 type
PCM lines. The device is packaged in hermetic 16-pin
DIP package and is designed to operate over a temperature range of -40°C to +85°C. It contains all the basic functional blocks of a regenerative repeater system
including Automatic Line Build-out (ALBO) and equalization, and is insensitive to reflections caused by cable
discontinuities. Compared to conventional repeater designs using discrete components, the XR-C240 monolithic repeater IC offers greatly improved reliability and
performance and provides significant savings in power
consumption and system cost.

THE T-1 REPEATER SYSTEM:
The T-1 Repeater Line is designed to provide a transmission capability for 24 two-way voice frequency signals which are transmitted digitally using a Pulse-Code
Modulation (PCM) technique. The system operates at a
data rate of 1.544 Mbps, with bipolar data pulses. It can
operate on either pulp- or polyethylene-insulated paired
cable that is either pole mounted or buried. Operation is
possible with a variety of wire gauges, provided that the
total cable loss at 772 kHz is less than 36 dB. Thus, the
system can operate satisfactorily on nearly all paired
cables which are used for voice frequency trunk circuits.
The XR-C240 monolithic IC replaces about 90% of the
electronic components and circuitry within the "digital
repeater" sections of Figure 1. Thus, a bi-directional repeater system would require two XR-C240 ICs, one for
each direction of information flow.
Figure 2 shows the functional block diagram of one of
the digital repeater sections, along with the external
zener regulator. The basic system architecture shown
in the figure is the same as that utilized in the design of
the XR-C240 monolithic IC.
The transmission system is designed to operate with
both directions of transmission within the same cable
sheath. The system performance is limited primarily by
near-end crosstalk produced by other systems operating within the same cable sheath. In order to insure that
the probability of a bit error is less than 10 - 6, the maximum allowable repeater spacing, when used with 22gauge pulp cable, is approximately 6000 feet.

The details of the T-1 type PCM systems are well covered in the literature listed in References 1 through 5.
Figure 1 shows the block diagram of a bi-directional
PCM repeater system consisting of two identical digital
regenerator or repeater sections, one for each direction
of transmission. These repeaters share a common
power supply. The dc power is simplexed over the
paired cable and is extracted at each repeater by
means of a series zener diode regulator.

the same cable sheath.

The output signals of the preamplifier which are bal·
anced and of opposite phases are applied to the clock
extraction circuit and also to the pulse regenerator. The
signals applied to the clock extraction circuit are recti·
fied and then applied to a high-Q resonant circuit. This
resonant circuit extracts a 1.544 MHz frequency component from the applied signal. The extracted Signal is
first amplified and then used to control the time at
which the output signals of the preamplifier are sam·
pled and also to control the width of the regenerated
pulse.
It is the function of the pulse regenerator to perform the
sampling and threshold operations and to regenerate
the appropriate pulse. The regenerated pulse is in turn
applied to a discrete switch which is used to drive the
next section of the paired cable.

of the second gain stage is "integrated" by the phaseshift capacitor, Cl, externally connected to Pins 11 and
12. (See timing diagrams of Figure 13.) The nominal value of this capacitor is in the 30 to 40pf range. The triangular waveform across Pins 11 and 12 is at quadrature
phase with the sinusoidal voltage swing across the L-C
tank circuit. This waveform is then used to generate the
"strobe" signal, Cp , and the clock pulse C>, which is
applied to the data latches of the logic section.
The peak-detector output (terminal B of Figure 8) is internally connected to the Automatic Line Build-out
(ALBO) section of the circuit and controls the DC bias
current through the ALBO diodes 019 through 020, as
shown in Figure 9.
The full-wave rectifier output (output D of Figure 8) is internally connected to the clock-extractor section of the
repeater and provides the excitation signal for the L-C
tuned tank circuit (Pin 14) of the injection locked oscillator. The threshold-detector outputs (G+ and G- of
Figure 8) provide the differential logic drive to the data
latches of the logic section of XR-C240.
The strobe and clock pulses out of the clockregenerator section are applied to the output data
latches shown in Figure 11. The two parallel output R-S
flip-flops are driven by the differential inputs (G + and
G -) from the data comparator of flgure 8. T~ two
sets of differential data signals, Fl, Fl and F2, F2 are
then applied to the output driver amplifier shown in Figure 12. The high-current outputs of the driver stage
(Pins 8 and 9) are connected to the center-tapped output transformer as shown in Figure 5. The voltage
swing across the output is one diode drop (VBE) less
than the supply voltage spread, i.e.:
The clock-extractor section of XR-C240 is designed as
an injection locked oscillator as shown in the circuit
schematic of Figure 10. The excitation is applied to the
emitter of 023, through terminal D which is internally
connected to the output of the threshold comparator.
This signal in turn controls the current in the resonant
L-C tank circuit connected to Pin 14. The sinusoidal
waveform across the tank is then amplified and
squared through the cascaded differential gain stages
made up of 031,032 and 035, 036. The output swing
Peak Output Swing = (V++) - (V+) - (VBE)
= 3.2V
The output stage is designed to work into a nominal
load impedance of 100 ohms, and can handle peak
load currents of 30m A.

Active Filter Design with Ie OP Amps
INTRODUCTION
This application note will assist the designer in selecting the optimum filter for his application. It begins with
a table of transfer functions, and. network defining
equations, for the high-pass, low-pass, bandpass, and
band-reject filters. A guide to the three types of filter responses will be presented, along with illustrations of
several filter realizations, with their respective merits
and limitations. Finally, the entire contents are brought
together, to provide the designer a complete working
schematic of an active filter in a modem configuration,
utilizing the XR-4202 Quad Programmable Operational
Amplifier, along with the XR-2206 Waveform generator,
and the XR-2211 Precision Tone Decoder.
Since the operational amplifier plays such a key role in
the active filter, its characteristics are of prime importance. By using operational amplifiers as the basic gain
stage of the active filter, problems previously encountered due to low-input impedance, high-output impedance and low-gain are virtually eliminated. Operational
amplifiers provide the required response for various filter types. Some of the more popular filters are multiple
feedback, state variable, bi-quad and Sallen Key, which
can be used to obtain high-p;3.ss, bandpass and lowpass filter functions_ They are capable of giving the designer all of the standard filter responses, i.e., Butterworth, Chebychev, and Bessel.
PRINCIPLES OF OPERATION
The XR-4202 Quad Programmable Operational Amplifier is a basic building block for active filters, and is
ideally suited for most filter applications. The XR-4202
provides the user the flexibility to externally program
the gain-bandwidth product, the supply current, the input bias current, the input offset current, the input
noise, and the slew rate. The user, therefore, can tradeoff bandwidth for supply current or optimize the noise
figure. Likewise, other amplifier characteristics can be
programmed for a specific need.
There are many single, dual, and quad operational amplifiers that can be used to implement the filters discussed. Table 1 lists some standard operational amplifiers and compares their important characteristics.
Table 2 gives the designer a brief review of the basic
transfer functions and network defining equations. Note
that a family of curves exists for all filters except first order low-pass and high-pass. This is due to the presence
of loop damping. This point will be expanded upon in
the next section on filter responses.

Figure 5 shows a typical state-variable configuration
whose characteristic equations are given by Eq. 3,
Eq. 4, and Eq. 5. These equations all have the same denominator, and the numerator is determined by the
point at which the output is taken. This form may also
be used to simulate a band·reject function by summing
the high-pass and low·pass outputs. The defining equations and sensitivity parameters are given in Table 5. It is
noted here that the bi·quad is actually a slight variation
of a second order state-variable.

In this system, the digital data to be transmitted is used
to key the XR-2206. The frequency-shift keyed output of
the XR-2206 is then sent through the hybrid and out onto the line. (The hybrid is used to obtain isolation between data transmitted and data received, and may also be used to amplify the received signaL) In full duplex
operation, this system must be able to receive and
transmit, simultaneously. Due to line losses, the received Signal may range from -12 dBm to - 48 dBm.
The output level of the transmitter is typically - 6 dBm
(allowing for a 6 dB loss in the hybrid). Due to line mismatch, the hybrid may only provide 10 dB of isolation to
the filter. Therefore, the levels at the input of the filter,
assuming a gain of 6 dB from the line through the hybrid, is -6 and -42 dBm for the desired Signal, and
- 16 dBm from the local oscillator. This means that in a
worst case situation, the input level of the received signal is - 42 dBm, with the level of the local oscillator
26 dB above this. For the XR-2211 to operate with a
low-bit error rate, the input should be 6 dB higher than
the interfering Signal. This implies that the stopband,
Amin, from Figure 2 is 32 dB. The XR-2211 has an internal preamplifier with a dynamic range of greater than
60 dB, and requires a minimum input level of - 38 dBm
to cause limiting. If we choose a filter to have a passband ripple of 1 dB, and an overall gain of 5 dB, the input conditions of the XR-2211 will be satisfied. The filters introduce a phase shift that is only linear for approximately 1/2 and 1/3 of the passband; therefore, a
bandwidth of 400 Hz is used for the filter. The general
shape of the filter is shown in Figure 7.

XR·C277 Low·Voltage PCM Repeater IC
INTRODUCTION
The XR-C277 is a monolithic repeater circuit for PulseCode Modulated (PCM) telephone systems. It is designed to operate as a regenerative repeater at 1.544
Mega bits per second (Mbps) data rates on T-1 type
PCM lines. It is packaged in a hermetic 16-pin CERDIP
package and is designed to operate over a temperature
range of - 40°C to + 85°C. It contains all the basic
functional blocks of a regenerative repeater system including Automatic Line Build-Out (ALBO) and equalization, and is insensitive to reflections caused by cable
discontinuities.
tern would require two XR-C277 IC's, one for each direction of information flow.
Figure 2 shows the functional block diagram of one of
the digital repeater sections, along with the external
zener regulator. The basic system architecture shown
in the figure is the same as that utilized in the design of
the XR-C277 monolithic IC.
In terms of the functional blocks shown in Figure 2, the
basic operation of the repeater can be briefly explained
as follows:
The key feature of the XR-C277 is its ability to operate
with low supply voltages (6.3 volts and 4.4 volts) with a
supply current of less than 13 mAo Compared to conventional repeater designs using discrete components,
the XR-C277 monolithic repeater IC offers greatly improved reliability and performance and provides significant savings in power consumption and system cost.
The bipolar signal, after traversing through a dispersive,
noisy medium, is applied to a linear amplifier and automatic equalizer. It is the function of this circuit to provide the necessary amount of gain and phase equalization and, in addition, to band limit the signal in order to
optimize the performance of the repeater for near-end
crosstalk produced by other systems operating within
the same cable sheath.
FUNDAMENTALS OF PCM REPEATERS
The output signals of the preamplifier which are balanced and of opposite phases are applied to the clock
extraction circuit and also to the pulse regenerator. The
signals applied to the clock extraction circuit are recti·
fied and then applied to a high-Q resonant circuit. This
resonant circuit extracts a 1.544 MHz frequency component from the applied Signal. The extracted signal is
first amplified and then used to control the time at
which the output signals of the preamplifier are sampled and also to control the width of the regenerated
pulse.
Figure 1 shows the block diagram of a tii-directional
PCM repeater system consisting of two identical digital
regenerator or repeater sections, one for each direction
of transmission. These repeaters share a common
power supply. The DC power is simplexed over the
paired cable and is extracted at each repeater by
means of a series zener diode regulator. The XR-C277
monolithic IC replaces about 90% of the electronic
components and circuitry within the digital repeater
sections of Figure 1. Thus, a bi-directional repeater sysSIGNAL F L O W _

(Figures 11 and 12):
which is the same as the extracted clock pulse width
(See timing diagram of Figure 13.)
The data-latch section consists of two parallel flip-flops,
driven by the D + and D - inputs from the datathreshold detector. When the D + input is at a low state,
the sampling or strobe pulse, Cp, is steered through
047Aand sets Flip-Flop 1, on the leading edge of Cpo
Conversely, when D - input is at a low state, the sampling pulse is steered through 047B to set Flip-Flop 2.
Each flip-flop section is then reset at the trailing edge of
the clock pulse input, Ct/>. The flip-flop outputs, (F1, F1)
and F2, F2) are then used to drive the output drivers.
This logic arrangement results in an output pulse width
The outputs of the two data latches drive the two output
driver stages shown in Figure 12. The high-current outputs of the driver stage, Pins 8 and g, are connected to
the center-tapped output transformer as shown in Figure 5. The voltage swing across the output is one diode
drop (VBE) less than the supply voltage at Pin 10. The
output stages are designed to work into a nominal load
impedance of 100 ohms, and can handle peak load currents of 30 mAo

Three-State FSK Modem Design
using XR-2207 and XR·2211
INTRODUCTION
operating a number of separate FSK modulator!
demodulator (modem) stations over a common set of
telephone lines, and address them one at a time from
the CPU. The simplified block diagram of" such a process controlled system is shown in Figure 1. In many
such cases, such a process control system also makes
use of the distributed-intelligence concept by employing a separate data acquisition system at each control
station. Such an intelligent data acquisition system is
normally made up of a microprocessor, along with its AI
D and D!A converter circuitry, which will interface with
the sensors and the control machinery. An FSK modem
will interface with the telephone wires going back to the
central command unit, the CPU.
This application note describes the design principle,
and the operation of three-state frequency-shift keyed
(FSK) modems for industrial process control systems.
Compared to conventional bi-state modems, which utilize only the mark and space frequencies, the threestate modems utilize a third frequency, the carrier signal, for additional command and control functions. This
carrier-control feature allows each modem system connected to a central processor (CPU) to be interrogated
or activated, one at a time, without interference from
the other modem transmitters or receivers within the
same system.
The design and operation of conventional bi-state FSK
modems using the XR-2206 modulator, and the XR2211 demodulator, are covered in Exar's Application
Note, AN-Ol. This application note extends these basic
concepts to the design of FSK modulators or demodulators with three-state operation capability.
In the conventional operation of FSK modems, they operate in their bi-state mode, i.e., the information to be
transmitted or received is available in two states, corresponding to either a mark or a space frequency. In a
complex process control system, such as the one
shown in Figure 1, the versatility of the system can be
greatly enhanced by operating the FSK modulator!
demodulator in three-state mode, where the information
to be transmitted or received is available in three
states, i.e., a mark or space frequency, or a carrier signal, which is normally a tone having a frequency halfway between the mark and space frequencies.
PRINCIPLES OF OPERATION
In a wide variety of industrial process control applications, it is necessary to have a number of separate sensors and controllers activated by a centralized computer or processing unit (CPU). This can be achieved by

These are:
Figure 2 shows a detailed block diagram of a complete
three-state FSK modem system. The system is made
up of five blocks:
Transmit-Band (transmitter output):
(a) FSK transmitter or encoder which converts the
input data or logic signals into transmitted
mark, space, and carrier tones.
fT1 = Transmitter mark frequency
fT2 = Transmitter space frequency
(b) FSK receiver or decoder which converts the
frequency signals sent over the telephone
lines into binary logic signals.
fTO = Transmitter carrier or center frequency
Receive-Band (receiver input):
(c) Transmitter bandpass filter which band-limits
the frequency output of the transmitter to the
allocated transmitter bandwidth.
fR1 = Receiver mark frequency
fR2 = Receiver space frequency
(d) Receiver bandpass filter which limits the incoming signals to those frequencies which fall
within the allocated receiver bandwidth.
fRO = Receiver carrier or center frequency
Normally, the mark and space frequencies are chosen
to be near the opposite edges of the receive- or
transmit-band, and the carrier frequency is chosen to
be at the center of the corresponding band.
(e) A line hybrid, or a 4-wire to 2-wire transformer,
which isolates or decouples the transmitter
output from the receiver input.
CARRIER CONTROL
When activated by the enable/disable control, the
three-state transmitter generates either the FSK mark/
space frequencies, fT1 and fT2' or the carrier frequency, fTO. The carrier frequency is activated by the carrier
control input, and can override the input data.

Answerback Under CPU Control
The first 2 blocks, the FSK transmitter and the receiver,
are the essential part of the modem system. The remaining three blocks, namely the active filters and the
line-hybrid, are support circuits, depending on the
frequency-band requirements or the necessary ttlle·
phone line interconnections. Detailed descriptions and
design examples for these active filters are given in Exar's Application Note, AN-03.
The modem will be in a standby mode with the transmitter disabled, and the receiver in a standby condition
with its data output disabled. It will be activated only
when an interrogate tone at the receiver center frequency, fRO, is transmitted by the control modem unit
associated with the CPU (see Figure 1). This tone is detected by the receiver; it activates the transmitter via its
enable/disable control, and instructs the local microprocessor to transmit its status information via the local
transmitter. This data is transmitted as an FSK signal
made up of the transmit mark and space frequencies
fr1 and fT2· When the information transmission is complete, or when the interrogate tone is discontinued, the'
entire modem system again reverts back to its standby
mode.
The three-state modem is designed to operate in two
separate frequency bands: A transmit-band for the
transmitted data, and a receive-band for the incoming
frequencies. In certain operating modes, such as the
half·duplex operation, these frequency bands may be
one and the same. In its most general case, the frequency information associated with the three-state mo3-36

As an option, the receiver can provide serial data outputs, through separate terminals, D1 and D2 of Figure
2, for half-bandwidth deviations of the input FSK signals. In this mode, the input data will be in the form of
center-to-mark frequency shifts for one channel, and
center-to-space shifts for the other. This mode of operation allows two separate sets of data or control instructions to be transmitted within the same channel bandwidth, provided that only one of these channels is used
at anyone time_
The frequency of oscillation is set by an external timing
capacitor, and by the combination of one or more of the
external timing resistors, R1 through R4. The keying terminals switch these external resistors in and out of the
circuit and thus control the operating frequency. Table 1
shows the four discrete frequencies which can be obtained as a function of four logic states at Pin 8 and 9_ It
should be noted that the frequency is inversely proportional to the timing resistor connected to the activated
timing pin. For example, if only one of the timing pins,
say Pin 5, is activated and its associated resistor, R3, is
left open-circuited (i.e., R3 = 00) the oscillator will be
keyed OFF since this corresponds to a zerO-frequency
state.
Dual-Channel Transmit
As an option, the transmitter can also transmit two separate channels, using half-bandwidth deviations of the
transmit signal. In this case, the outgoing data will be
encoded with center-to-mark transitions of the transmitter frequency in one of the channels, and ce'nter-tospace transitions in the other. However, similar to the
case of the receiver, only one or the other, and not both,
of these half-bandwidth channels can be on at a given
time.

It should be noted that Pin 5 is left open circuited (i.e.,

The functions of the three control terminals can be described as follows:

XR-2211 As A Three-State Receiver
The XR-2211 is a monolithic FSK demodulator which
operates on the phase-locked loor,. principle. In addition
to the basic PLL system, the monolithic chip also contains a quadrature-detector circuit which produces a
logic signal when a carrier Signal, or tone, is present
within the capture range of the PLL. A simplified functional block diagram of the circuit is shown in Figure 5.
b. Enable/Disable Control: When this input is at lowstate, the transmitter is disabled.
c. Carrier-Control: When this terminal is at high-state,
the transmitter generates a continuous tone at frequency, frO.
With the external logic circuitry shown in Figure 4,
carrier-control can override both the enable/disable or
the FSK data inputs. A detailed truth-table of the circuit
outputs is given in Table 2, for various states of the
three control inputs.
Basic Bi-State Operation
The basic operation of the XR-2211, in conventional bistate modems, is described in detail in Exar's Application Note, AN-01. It will be briefly reviewed below.

wired together, the output signal from these terminals
will provide data when FSK is applied, and will be low

Three-State OpBratlon
The XR-2211 FSK demodulator circuit can be made to
operate as a three-state receiver (see Block B of Figure
2), using the circuit configuration shown in Figure 7.
With reference to the Figure, the basic operation of the
circuit can be described as follows: The basic FSK decoding function, converting the incoming mark and
space signals at frequencies fR1 and fR2' is performed
in the same manner as in the bi-state case, and the resulting output is available at Pin 7 of XR-2211. Pin 7 is
connected to the tone-detect output, and then gated by
the complement of the carrier-detect output. Thus, the
data output terminal will be enabled only when the mark
and space frequencies are present, but not when the
receive-carrier, fRO, is present.
The output of Pin 11 is filtered by RK and CK, and is
used to drive the external voltage comparators. The
outputs of these comparators are then connected
through the external logic gates, to produce the carrierdetect or the enable/disable signal. The resulting logic
output will be noramlly at a low state, and will go high
only when the carrier signal, fRO, is present. This logic
signal is normally used for transmitter enable/disable
control, as shown in Figure 2.
The logic level changes, at the external comparator outputs, correspond to mark-to-carrier or space-to-carrier
frequency shifts (see Figure 8); thus, these outputs can
be utilized as optional dual-mode monitor outputs, D1
and D2 of Figure 2.
The external voltage comparators shown in Figure 7 are
added to the circuit to distinguish PLL output voltage
levels corresponding to various input frequencies. The
function of the XR-2211 frequency-to-voltage transfer
characteristics can be understood by referring to Pin 11
in Figure 8. The voltage levels and polarities shown are
relative to the XR-2211 internal reference voltage, V10,
at Pin 10. The mark and space frequencies, fR1 and
fR2' generate the maximum dc level shifts. VR1 and

The external comparators, Compo A and Compo B of Figure 7, are biased at voltage levels, VA and VB,approximately halfway between VR1 and VR2, to trip at frequencies fA and fB, which are halfway between markto-center and space-to-center frequency shifts. This
biasing is achieved with the external resistive dividers,
RA, RB, RX, and Ry of Figure 7, which generate the reference voltage levels, VA and VB, with respect to the
XR-2211 internal reference at Pin 10. It should be noted
that the value of the resistors (RA + RB) and (RX + Ry)
must be as large as possible (typically in excess of 100
kO) to avoid disturbing the voltage level at Pin 10.

INTRODUCTION
The phase-locked loop (PLL) is a versatile system block,
suitable for a wide range of applications in data communications and signal conditioning. In most of these
applications, the PLL is required to have a highly stable
and predictable center frequency and a well-controlled
bandwidth. Presently available monolithic PLL circuits
often lack the frequency stability and the versatility required in these applications.

This application note describes the design and the application of two-chip PLL system using the XR-2207 and
the XR-2208 monolithic circuits. The XR-2207 is a precision voltage controlled oscillator (VeO) circuit with excellent temperature stability (± 20 ppm/oe, typical) and
linear sweep capability. The XR-2208 is an operational
multiplier which combines a four quadrant multiplier
and a high gain operational amplifier in the same package. Both circuits are designed to interface directly
with each other with a minimum number of external
components. Their combination functions as a high performance PLL, with the XR-2207 forming the veo section of the loop, and the XR-2208 serving as the phasedetector and loop amplifier.

the veo to synchronize or "lock" with the incoming signal. Once in lock, the veo frequency is identical to the
input signal, except for a finite phase difference.
Two key parameters of a phase-locked loop system are
its "lock" and "capture" ranges. These can be defined
as follows:
Lock Range = The band of frequencies in the vicinity
of fo over which the PLL can maintain lock with an input
signal. It is also known as the "tracking" or "holding"
range. Lock range increases as the overall loop gain of
the PLL is increased.
Capture Range = The band of frequencies in the vicinity of fo where the PLL can establish or acquire lock with
an input signal. It is also known as the "acquisition"
range. The capture is always smaller than the lock
range. It is related to the low pass filter bandwidth and
decreases as the low pass filter time constant increased.
As compared with the presently available single-chip
PLL circuits such as the XR-210 or the Harris HI-2820,
the two-chip PLL system described in this paper offers
approximately a factor of 10 improvement in temperature stability and center frequency accuracy. The system can operate from 0.01 Hz to 100 kHz, and its performance characteristics can be tailored to given design requirements with the choice of only four external
components.
The PLL responds to only those input signals sufficiently close to the veo frequency, fO, to fall within the
"lock" or "capture" ranges of the system. Its performance characteristics, therefore, offer a high degree of
frequency selectivity, with the selectivity characteristics centered about fO. Figure 2 shows the typical
frequency-to-voltage transfer characteristics of the
PLL. The input is assumed to be a sine wave whose frequency is swept slowly, over a broad frequency range
covering both the "lock" and the- "capture" ranges of
the PLL. The vertical scale corresponds to the filtered
loop error voltage, Vd, appearing at the veo control terminal.
DEFINITIONS OF PLL PARAMETERS
The phase-locked loop (PLL) is a unique and versatile
feedback system that provides frequency selective tuning and filtering without the need for coils or inductors.
It consists of three basic functional blocks; phase comparator, low-pass filter, and voltage-controlled oscillator,
interconnected as shown in Figure 1. With no input signal applied to the system, the error voltage, Vd, is equal
to zero. The veo operates at a set "free-running" frequency, fo . If an input signal is applied to the system,
the phase comparator compares the phase and frequency of the input signal with the veo frequency and
generates an error voltage, Ve(t), that is related to the
phase and frequency difference between the two signals. This error voltage is then filtered and applied to
the control terminal of the veo. If the input signal frequency, fS, is sufficiently close to fo, feedback causes
As the input frequency, fS, is swept up (Figure 2(a)) the
system does not respond to the input signal until the input frequency reaches the lower end of capture range,
feL. Then, the loop suddenly locks on the input signal,
causing a positive jump in the error voltage Vd. Next,
Vd varies at a slope equal to the reciprocal of veo

PRECISION PLL USING XR-2207 AND XR-2208
The XR-2207 VCO and the XR-2208 operational multiplier can be inter-connected as shown in Figure 3, to form
a highly stable PLL system. The circuit of Figure 3 operates with supply voltages in the range of + 12V to
+ 26V; and over a frequency range of 0.01 Hz to 100
kHz. In the PLL system of Figure 3, all the basic performance characteristics of the PLL can be controlled
and adjusted by the choice external 4 components
identified as resistors RO and R1, and the capacitors Co
and C1, Co and RO control the VCO center frequency;
R1 and C1 determine the tracking range and the low
pass filter characteristics. The two-chip PLL system
can be readily converted to split supply operation by
inter-connecting the circuit as shown in Figure 4. The
PLL circuit of Figure 4 operates over a supply voltage
range of ± 6 volts to ± 13 volts.

through zero at fs = fO. The loop tracks the input fre·
quency until fs reaches the upper edge of the lock
range, fLH. Then the PLL loses lock, and the error volt·
age drops to zero. If the input frequency is swept back
slowly, from high towards low frequencies the cycle repeats itself, with the characteristics shown in Figure
2(b). The loop captures the signal at the upper edge of
the capture range, fCH, and tracks it down the lower
edge of the lock range, fLL. With reference to the figure, the "lock" and the "capture" ranges can be defined as:
Design Example
As an example, consider the design of a PLL system using the circuit of Figure 3, to meet the following nominal
performance specifications:
a) Center Frequency = 10kHz
b) Tracking Range = 20% (9 kHz to 11 kHz)
c) Capture Range = 10% (9.S kHz to 10.S kHz)
Solution:
Lock Range = AfL = fLH - fLL
Capture Range = AfC = fCH - fCL

Single-Chip Frequency Synthesizer
Employing the XR .. 2240
INTRODUCTION
The XR-2240 monolithic timer/counter contains an B-bit
programmable binary counter and a stable time-base
oscillator in a single 16-pin IC package. Although the
circuit was originally designed as a long-delay timer capable of generating time delays from microseconds to
weeks, it also offers a wide range of other applications
beyond simple time-delay generatiqn. One such unique
application is its use as a single-chip, frequency synthesizer, where it can generate over 2,500 discrete frequencies from a single reference frequency input.
set frquency, fS (fS = lIRC), where Rand C are the external components at pin 13. The B-bit binary counter
can be programmed to divide the time-base frequency
by an integer count, N, and generate an output pulse
train whose frequency is:
The operation of the XR-2240 as a frequency synthesizer is possible because of the ability of the circuit to both
multip/y and divide the input frequency reference. It
can, simultaneously, multiply the input frequency by a
factor, "M," and divide it by a factor "N + 1," where
both M and N are adjustable integer values. Therefore,
the circuit can produce an output frequency, fa, related
to the input reference frequency fR as:
Frequency Multiplication by "M ":
M
fa = f R - 1 + N
1
fa = f S - -
1+ N
Frequency multiplication is achieved by synchronizing
the time-base oscillator with the harmonics of the input
sync or reference signal. Thus, if the time-base oscillator is made to free-run at "M" times the input frequency, it cari be made to synchronize the "M"th harmonic
of the input reference signal. Typical capital range of
the circuit is better than ± 3 %, for values of 1 s M s 10;
and since the time-base is accurate to within ± 0.5 % of
the external R-C setting, lock-up does not present a
problem for a given harmonic lock setting.
Figure 1 shows the circuit connection for operating the
XR-2240 timer/counter as a self-contained frequency
synthesizer. The integer values M and N can be externally adjusted over a broad range:
1 sMs 10
R
~
lK
Rl
1 sNs225
The multiplication factor M is obtained by locking on the
harmonics of the input frequency. The division factor N
is determined by the pre-programmed count in the binary counter section. The principle of operation of the circuit can be best understood by briefly examining its capabilities for frequency division and multiplication separately.
Frequency Division by (1 + N):
When there is no external reference input, fR, the timebase oscillator section of the XR-2240 free-runs at its
Figure 1

AN·07
Circuit Operation:
With reference to Figure 1, the operation of the synthesizer circuit can be briefly explained as follows: The reference input frequency, fR, is applied to the time-base
sync terminal (pin 12) through a 5.1 KIl series resistance and a coupling capacitor. The recommended
waveform for the input frequency, fR, is a 3 Vpp pulse
train with a pulse width in the range of 30% to 80% of
the time-base period, T. The multiplication factor M is
chosen by the potentiometer R1 which sets the timebase period T (T = RC). If no external reference is used,
then M Is automatically equal to 1.
The divider modulus, N, is chosen by shorting various
counter outputs to a 3K common pull-up resistor. The
output waveform is a pulse train with a fixed pulse
width, T = RC, and a period TO = (N + 1)RC.
circuit to maintain a periodic output waveform. For the
component values shown in Figure 1, the circuit can
operate with the timing components Rand C in the
range of:
0_005 "FsCs.1 "F; 1 KllsRs 1 Mil
The .XR-2240 is a lOW-frequency circuit. Therefore, the
maximum output frequency is limited to ... 200 kHz, by
the frequency capability of the internal time base oscillator.
A particularly useful application of the simple synthesizer circuit of Figure 1 is to generate stable clock frequencies which are synchronized to an external reference, such as the 60 Hz line frequency. For example,
one can generate a 100 Hz reference synchronized to
60 Hz line frequency simply by setting M = 5 and N =
2 such that:
The external R-C network between the output and the
trigger and reset terminals of the XR-2240 is a noncritical delay network which resets and re-triggers the

Dual Tone Decoding with

INTRODUCTION
+v

+V
Two integrated tone decoders, XR·567 units, can be
connected (as shown in Figure lA) to permit decoding
of simultaneous or sequential tones. Both units must be
on before an output is given. R1Cl and R' lC' 1 are cho·
sen, respectively, for Tones 1 and 2. If sequential tones
(1 followed by 2) are to be decoded, then C3 is made
very large to delay turn·off of Unit 1 until Unit 2 has
turned on and the NOR gate is activated. Note that the
wrong sequence (2 followed by 1) will not provide an
output since Unit 2 will turn off before Unit 1 comes on.
Figure 1B shows a circuit variation which eliminates
the NOR gate. The output is taken from Unit 2, but the
Unit 2 output stage is biased off by R2 and CRl until ac·
tivated by Tone 1. A further variation is given in Figure
lC. Here, Unit 2 is turned on by the Unit 1 output when
Tone 1 appears, reducing the standby power to half.
Thus, when Unit 2 is on, Tone 1 is or was present. If
Tone 2 is now present, Unit 2 comes on also and an out·
put is given. Since a transient output pulse may appear

The XR-2567 Dual Tone Decoder can replace two integrated tone decoders in this application.
LOW COST FREQUENCY INDICATOR
Figure 3 shows how two tone decoders set up with
overlapping detection bands can be used for a go/no/go
frequency meter. Unit 1 is set 6% above the desired
sensing frequency and Unit 2 is set 6% below the desired frequency. Now, if the incoming frequency is within 13% of the desired frequency, either Unit 1 or Unit 2
will give an output. If both units are on, it means that the
incoming frequency is within 1 % of the desired frequency. Three light bulbs and a transistor allow low
cost read-out.
HIGH SPEED, NARROW BAND TONE DECODER
The circuit of Figure 1 may be used to obtain a fast, narrow band tone decoder. The detection bandwidth is
achieved by overlapping the detection bands of the two
tone decoders. Thus, only a tone within the overlap portion will result in an output. The input amplitude should
be greater than 70 mV rms at all times to prevent detection band shrinkage and C2 should be between 130/fo
and 1300/fo mfd where fo is the nominal detection frequency. The small value of C2 allows operation at the
maximum speed so that worst-case output delay is only
about 14 cycles.

FREOUENCY
Touch-Tone decoding is of great interest since all sorts
of remote control applications are possible if you make
use of the encoder (the push-button dial) that will ultimately be part of every tone. A low-cost decoder can be
made as shown in Figure 2. Seven 567 tone decoders,
their inputs connected in common to a phone line or
acoustical coupler, drive three integrated NOR gate
packages. Each tone decoder is tuned, by means of R1
and C1, to one of the seven tones. The R2 resistor reduces the bandwidth to about 8 % of 100 mV and 5 % at
50 mV rms. Capacitor C4 decouples the seven units. If
you are willing to settle for a somewhat slower response at low input voltages (50 to 10 mV rms), the
bandwidth can be controlled in the normal manner by
selecting C2, thereby eliminating the seven R2 resistors
and C4. In this case, C2 would be 4.7 mfd for the three
lower frequencies or 2.2 mfd for the four higher frequencies.

The only unusual feature of this circuit is the means of
bandwidth reduction using the R2 resistors. As shown
in the 567 data sheet under Alternate Method of Bandwidth Reduction, the external resistor RA can be used
to reduce the loop gain and, therefore, the bandwidth.
Resistor R2 serves the same function as RA except that
instead of going to a voltage divider for dc bias it goes
to a common point with the six other R2 resistors. In effect, the five 567's which are not being activated during
the decoding process serve bias voltage sources for

Sinusoidal Output from XR·215
Monolithic PLL Circuit
INTRODUCTION
system is formed by simply ac coupling the veo output
to either of the phase comparator inputs and adding a
low-pass filter to the phase comparator output terminals. The XR-215 can operate over a large choice of
power supply voltages ranging from 5 volts to 26 volts
and a wide frequency band of 0.5 Hz to 35 MHz. It can
accommodate analog signals between 300 microvolts
and 3 volts and can interface with conventional OTL,
TTL and EeL logic families.
In a wide range of communication or signal conditionIng applications, It is necessary to obtain a sinusoidal
output signal which is synchronized to a desired reference or clock input. This can be achieved by using the
XR-215 type monolithic PLL circuit and an additional
sine-shaping network.
When a periodic input signal is present within the capture range of the XR-215 PLL, the system will lock on
the input; and the veo section of the PLL will synchronize with the input frequency. The output of the oscillator section of the PLL can then be converted to a low
distortion sine wave by a relatively simple sine-shaping
circuit.
Figure 2 shows the simplified circuit schematic of the
XR-215 phase-locked loop Ie. The veo part of XR-215,
shown in the center section of Figure 2, is an emittercoupled multivibrator circuit, whose frequency is set by
an external capacitor, eO, connected across the timing
terminals (Pins 13 and 14). In this type of an oscillator,
the differential voltage waveform across the timing capacitor, eO, is a linear triangle, with a peak-to-peak amplitude of 1.4 volts. This output amplitude across the
timing capacitor is independent of supply voltage.
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
Figure 1 contains a functional block diagram of the XR215 monolithic PLL system. The circuit consists of a
balanced phase comparator, a highly stable voltagecontrolled oscillator (VeO) and high speed operational
amplifier. The phase comparator outputs are internally
connected to the veo inputs and to the non-inverting
input of the operational amplifier. A self-contained PLL

This triangular waveform can be shaped into a low distortion sine wave by passing it through a simple differential gain stage, as shown in Figure 3. By adjusting the
potentiometer Rg of Figure 3, the input transistors
T 1and T2 of the differential stage can be brought to the
verge of cutoff at the positive and the negative extremities of the input triangle wave. This causes the peaks of
the triangle waveform to be rounded, resulting in a
nearly sinusoidal output waveform from the differential
stage. If the transistor characteristics and the curreni
levels in the differential gain stage are well matched,
one can reduce the total harmonic distortion (THD) of
the sinusoidal output waveform to less than 3%.

INTRODUCTION
The XR-C262 is a monolithic repeater circuit for PulseCode Modulated (PCM) telephone systems. It is designed to operate as a regenerative repeater at 1.544
Megabits per second (Mbps) data rates on T-1 type PCM
lines. It is packaged in a hermetic l6-pin CERDIP package and is designed to operate over a temperature
range of -40°C to + B5°C. It contains all the basic functional blocks of a regenerative repeater system including Automatic Line Built-Out (ALBO) and equalization,
and is insensitive to reflections caused by cable discontinuities.

The XR-C262 operates with a single 6.B-volt power supply, and with a typical supply current of 13 mA. It provides bipolar output drive with high-current handling capability. The clock extractor section of XR-C262 uses
the resonant-tank circuit principle, rather than the
injection-locked oscillator technique used in earlier
monolithic repeater designs. The bipolar output drivers
are designed to go to "off" state automatically when
there is no input signal present. Compared to conventional repeater designs using discrete components, the
XR-C262 monolithic repeater IC offers greatly improved
reliability and performance and provides significant
savings in power consumption and system cost.

can operate on either pulp- or polyethylene-insulated
paired cable that is either pole-mounted or buried. ~p
eration Is possible with a variety of wire gauges, prOVided that the total cable loss at 772 kHz is less than 36
dB. Thus, the system can operate satisfactorily on nearly all paired cables which are used for voice frequency
trunk circuits.
This application note outlines the basic design principles and the electrical characteristics of the XR-C262
monolithic repeater IC. In addition, circuit connections
and applications information are provided for its utilization in T-1 type 1.544 Megabit PCM repeater systems.
The T-1 type transmission system is designed to operate with both directions of transmission within the same
cable sheath. The system performance is limited primarily by near-end cross-talk produced by other systems operating within the same cable sheath. In order
to insure that the probability of a bit error is less than
10- 6 , the maximum allowable repeater spacing, when
used with 22-gauge pulp cable, is approximately 6000
feet.
FUNDAMENTALS OF PCM REPEATERS
The Pulse-Code Modulation (PCM) telephone systems
are designed to provide a transmission capability for
multiple-channel two-way voice frequency signals
which are transmitted in a digital PCM format. In order
to minimize error rates, and provide transmission over
long distances, this digital signal must be regenerated
at periodic intervals, using a regenerative repeater system. Figure 1 shows the block diagram of a bidirectional PCM repeater system consisting of two
identical digital regenerator or repeater sections, one
for each direction of transmission. These repeaters
share a common power supply. The DC power is simplexed over the paired cable and is extracted at each
repeater by means of a series zener diode regulator.
The XR-C262 monolithic IC replaces about 90% of the
electronic components and circuitry within the digital
repeater sections of Figure 1. Thus, a bi-directional repeater system should require two XR-C262 ICs, one for
each direction of information flow.
OPERATION OF THE XR-C262
The XR-C262 monolithic repeater is packaged in a 16pin dual-in-line hermetic package, and is .fabricated u~
ing bipolar process technology. The functions of the circuit terminals are defined in Figure 2, in terms of the
monolithic IC package.
In the United States, the most widely used PCM telephone system is the T-1 type system which operates at
a data rate of 1.544 Mbps, with bipolar data pulses. It

blocks shown within the dotted area are included on the
monolithic chip. The numbers on the circuit terminals
correspond to the pin numbers of the 16·pin IC package
containing the repeater chip. In terms of the system
block diagram of Figure 3, the overall repeater operation can be briefly explained as follows.
XR·C262
The bipolar PCM signals which are attenuated and distorted due to the preceding transmission medium are
applied to the input of a preamplifier (Block 1) through
an Automatic Line Build-Out (ALBa) circuit. The impedance, Z I, corresponds to the passive section of the ALBa network. The preamplifier section, along with the
passive equalizer networks Z2 and Z3 connected in
feedback around it, provides gain to compensate for
line losses and band-limiting to reject unwanted noise
as well as gain and phase equalization to shape received pulses.
The ALBa circuitry provides attenuation and shaping to
automatically adjust for varying cable characteristics.
The output of the preamplifier is controlled to swing between two established peak levels. This is accomplished by feedback circuitry, and is similar in concept
to automatic gain control. When the preamplifier output
passes through the peak thresholds it is detected by
the peak detector (Block 2) and produces a Signal
which is used to control a feedback loop establishing

THRESHOLDS
The output of the preamplifier drives a set of data comparators which are internally biased from a voltage reference (Block 4) and the precision voltage divider network (Block 5). Thus, the preamplifier output is "sliced"
at various voltage levels to eliminate the effects of the
baseline noise. This output is full-wave rectified and
amplified through Block 6 of Figure 3. The resulting signal has a strong Fourier component at the clock frequency and is used to drive a high Q ("dOO) resonant
circuit tuned to that frequency. The output of the resonant circuit is transformer-coupled to a zero-crossing
detector and clock limiter (Block 10). The resultant output is the desired recovered timing. This resonant circuit is driven by a low impedance amplifier, and the resulting clock edges are in phase with the peak of the received pulses.

The regeneration of the data is achieved through the
two data comparators (Blocks 7 and 8) and the ECl
latches (Block 9) which function as tracking flip-flops.
The positive and negative data paths are separate; and,
with the exception of the data limiter and slicer levels,
identical in design. The preamplifier output is sliced at
about 45 percent of the peak voltage and its amplitude
is limited to provide digital data pulses. The data is applied to one of the inputs to the tracking flip-flop, whose
state is latched and unlatched by the clock. During acquisition, the flip-flop acquires data; during hOld, further
data transitions are ignored and the state of the flip-flop
output determines whether an output pulse is transmitted. The implication of using the clock to perform data
sampling is that path delays of the data and clock must
be controlled to be equal. The monolithic integrated circuit technology affords this control. The advantage of
this technique is that the need for clock shifting or
strobe pulse generating circuitry for accurate sampling
alignment is eliminated. Actual circuit implementation
resulted in a 40-nsec misalignment of clock and data.
This 40-nsec error in sampling time amounts to less
than 0.4 dB degradation in SNR performance. Figure 4
shows the idealized timing and signal waveforms within
the circuit.

is present, the absence of clock is sensed and the output drivers are held in the "off" state.
The output drivers use latched data and clock to produce an output pUlse-width which is accurately controlled by the duration of the clock. Non-saturating output drivers (Blocks 12 and 13) insure that output pulse

Peak-Detector and ALBO Section (Figure 7):
Threshold Circuitry (Figure 9):
The peak-detector circuit is designed to detect the
peaks of the preamplifier output, provided that these
peaks exceed the internal detection threshold levels.
This peak information is then low-pass filtered and is
used to control the current in a diode string which acts
as a variable-loss or "variolosser' element in a feedback path. In the circuit, the comparators conduct
whenever the preamp output exceeds the (+) threshold
in a positive direction or the (-) threshold in a negative
direction. Transistor 05 then injects a pulse of current
into the ALBO filter. In the steady state, DC level across
the ALBO filter controls the current through the diode
string; and the dynamic resistance of the diodes acts
as the variolosser element. The usable linear resistance range in this application is almost three orders of
magnitude ranging from 11 Il to "" 6 KIl.
Threshold circuitry is a low impedance voltage-divider
circuit corresponding to Block 5 of Figure 3, and it establishes the fixed levels required for data, clock and
peak detection. It is important that the thresholds are
insensitive to temperature variations, and that they are
of sufficiently low impedance to guarantee that there is
no threshold variation due to changing signal conditions. The reference voltages of the peak-detector, data, and clock thresholds are set by a resistor chain
which divides down the voltage of the on-chip zener diode. The ratios of data threshold to peak-detector
threshold and that of clock threshold to peak-detector
threshold are both set at 45 percent. In the actual circuit implementation, as shown in Figure 10, a compound connection of PNP's and NPN's are used to reduce the output impedance of the reference levels. The
currents through the NPN and PNP transistor strings
are set so as to insure that the base emitter voltage
drops of the NPN's and PNP's are nominally the same.
The output impedance of the resulting reference voltage taps are about 300 ohms. The center tap of the buffered divider is brought to a separate package terminal
(Pin 14 of Figure 3) for biasing the preamplifier input.
Data Latches (Figure 8):
The data latches are required to be impervious to data
transitions in the latch mode, and to be "transparent,"
(i.e., tracking the input data) during· the tracking mode.
Figure 8 shows the basic circuit configuration used in
the XR-C262, which meets the above-mentioned performance requirements. During the time when the
clock pulse is high, the acquisition transistors 01 and
02 are differentially switched with data transitions, and
the data is coupled to the respective bases of 03 and
04. When the clock pulse goes low at the sample time
(see Figure 4), the information is regeneratively latched
into 03 and 04. While the clock is low, further data transitions have no effect upon the state of the flip-flop. A
more detailed description of the timing waveforms is
given in Figure 13.

Figure 10. Circuit Diagram 01 the Clock Recovery Section.
PNP transistors is used to control the level of the clock
into the output switches. This technique uses the bandpass characteristics of the timing recovery resonant
circuit to reject out of band signals, thus minimizing the
chance of producing output pulses with no input signal
and the presence of noise. Figure 11 shows the basic
implementation of the zero-input protection circuit.
01 and 02 function as a simple retriggerable one-shot.
The transistor 02 is a lateral PNP device with a limited
frequency capability and long storage-time delay. The
existence of the 1.544 MHz clock causes 02 to saturate and remain in saturation while clock pulses are
present. The comparatively long time constant associated with 02 coming out of saturation (,., 5 ~sec) insures that, when data is present, the zero input protection has no effect upon operation. When data disappears there is no clock to retrigger the one-shot, thus
02 comes out of saturation, causing 03 to saturate
which pulis the respective clock lines high, and disables both output drivers in their "off" state.
Clock Recovery Section (Figure 10):
Clock recovery circuity consists of a full-wave rectifier,
an external L-C resonant circuit, a zero crossing detector, and limiting amplifier, as shown in Figure 10. The
full-wave rectifier circuit, comprising of cross-coupled
transistor pairs 01 through 04 has a net voltage gain of
2, which is obtained by setting Rl = R2 = (1/2)R3. The
rectified output is then buffered by the Darlington
emitter-follower stage made up of 05 and 06, and applied to the external L-C resonant circuit. 06 is operated
at a high bias current level to provide an output impedance of less than 150. This low impedance is required
to insure that the L-C tank-drive circuitry looks like a
voltage source.
The inductor of the resonant tank circuit is also a transformer which couples the sine wave signal to the zero
crossing detector and limiting amplifier. The zero crossing detector is a differential amplifier with a nominal
voltage gain of 20 and input impedance of 4 MO. The
sine wave from the resonant circuit is sliced to produce
a square wave with sharp transitions at the zero crossings. This eliminates timing variations that may be
caused by amplitude changes of the sine wave signal.
The output of the zero crOSSing detector is further enhanced by the limiter which is another differential pair
with a nominal voltage gain of 30. The output of this amplifier is a 1.5 V peak-to-peak square wave clock which
drives the data latches and the output drivers.

Zero-Input Protection Circuit (Figure 11):
The zero input protection circuitry accomplishes the
dual task of preventing the output switches from latching in an "on" state, as well as reducing the likelihood
of output pulses with no input signal. The data, clock,
and regenerator circuitry are all balanced DC coupled
circuits. Controlling the steady state, no-signal condition of these circuits without building an unacceptable
offset into the path is not practical. Instead, a retrigerable one-shot that uses the saturation characteristics of

latches (Figure 8) as a function of the clock and data inputs. The output of the latch tracks + DATA when the
clock is low, and stays latched in that condition when
the block goes high. The output drive at Pin 9, which is
shown as Waveform (10) will then go low only when the
Waveforms (8) and (9) are low. Waveform (11) shows the
second output available at Pin 11. These two outputs
are then differentially combined by the output transformer (see Figure 3) to provide the regenerated bipolar
output pulses shown in Waveform (12) of Figure 13.
The output drive circuitry is made up of two identical
channels as indicated in the block diagram of Figure 2.
The circuit configuration for each of these driver sections is shown in Figure 12. The output would follow the
data input from the latches only when the clock input is
at a "high" state, I.e., with 02 off and 03 on. In this
manner, the output pUlse-width is controlled by the
clock. To provide the fast turn·on and turn-off of the output drivers, all the transistors operate in a nonsaturat·
ing state. 04 forms an active clamp to reduce voltage
swing at the base of 06, and the clamp diode D5 prevents the saturation of the output driver 07. Because of
the biasing scheme mentioned above, the amplitude of
the clock and the latched data are insensitive to supply
voltage and temperature changes. Thus, the variations
of the regenerated pulse-width over temperature and
supply are minimized.

INTRODUCTION
tion then can be connected to a triangle-to-sine wave
converter which converts it to a low-distortion sine
wave. The output of the triangle-to-sine converter is
then applied to a variable-gain amplifier which sets the
desired output amplitude. Since the oscillator section of
the PLL is always running, the circuit also contains a
"lock-detect" section which enables the output amplifier only when there is an input signal. Thus, with no input signal present within the bandwidth of the PLL, the
lock-detect section will keep the output amplifier in the
"off" state, and the circuit will not produce an output
signal.
A universal sine wave converter is a system block
which can convert any periodic input signal waveform
to a low-distortion sine wave, whose frequency is identical to the repetition rate of the periodic input signal.
Such universal sine wave converters find applications
in communications and telemetry systems. They are
particularly useful for converting transducer output
waveforms, or pulses, into clean sine wave signals over
a band of frequencies. This conversion to sine wave is
often necessary to reduce the required system bandwidth for signal transmission by eliminating the harmonic frequencies of the signal.
In the cases where the input frequency is known, and
does not change, the universal sine wave converter
can be replaced by a simple high-Q filter, tuned to the
input frequency. However, in many cases the input
frquency, or the repetition rate, is not constant, but varies as a function of time or input data. In such cases a
fixed-frequency filter is not feasible, and one is forced
to use a universal sine wave converter which is essentially a "tracking regenerative filter".

Figure 1_ Basic Concept 01 a Regenerative Sinewave Converter.
In this application note, the design principle and the
performance characteristics of a regenerative sine
wave converter circuit is described_ The circuit operates on the phase-locked loop (PLL) principle and can
be implemented using the XR-2211 monolithic PLL tone
decoder and the XR-220B multiplier IC.
CIRCUIT DESIGN
The basic regenerative sine wave converter system of
Figure 1 can be easily implemented using the XR-2211
monolithic tone decoder and the XR-220B monolithic
multiplier IC's, with only a minimum number of external
components.
PRINCIPLES OF OPERATION
Figure 1 shows the functional block diagram of a regenerative sine wave converter system, comprised of four
functional blocks: (1) a phase-locked loop (PLL), (2) a
sine-shaper, (3) a keyed amplifier, and (4) a lock-detect
circuit. With reference to the figure, the principl~ of operation 01 the entire system can be briefly explained as
follows:
The XR-2211 is a monolithic PLL circuit especially designed for FSK and tone detection. Thus, it contains the
complete PLL and lock-detect sections (Blocks 1 and 4
of Figure 1) on the same chip. Its overall block diagram
is shown in Figure 2. The circuit is packaged in a 14-pin
dual-in-line package; and the functions of the circuit terminals are given in Figure 3 in terms of the monolithic
IC package. In the sine wave converter application, the
FSK detector portion of the circuit is not used; only the
basic phase-locked loop and the lock-detector sections
are utilized. Figure 4 illustrates the necessary external
components for its application in the sine wave converter system. The oscillator section of the XR-2211 is
an emitter-coupled multivibrator which oscillates by
charging and discharging the external timing capacitor,
When a periodic input signal is present at the input,
within the tracking range of the PLL, the circuit would
"lock" to the input signal; and the output of the voltagecontrolled oscillator (VCO) section of the PLL will duplicate the frequency of the input signal. However, the
VCO output waveform will have a fixed wave shape
(normally a triangle wave) independent of the input
waveform or amplitude. The output of the oscillator sec3-61

Figure 7 shows the recommended circuit connection of
the XR-2211 and the XR-220B to form a universal sine
wave converter circuit. In the figure, a non-crital zener
diode (Vz '" 6V to 7V) is used to reduce the supply voltage applied to XR-2211, to facilitate DC coupling between the two chips. The frequency of the VCO section
of the XR-2211 is set by the timing components Ro and
Co. In this application, a fixed value of Ro = 10KO is
recommended, giving a center frequency, fa value of:
of the 500 kO potentiometer, RF. The DC voltage level of
the op amp output is set at the reduced supply voltage
(I.e., Vcc -Vz)·
The lock-detect output of the XR-2211 (pin 6) is shorted
to the mid-point of the resistive divider at pin 15 of the
XR-220B. With no input signal present at the input within the lock range of the XR-2211, pin 6 is at a "low"
state. Thus it acts as a shorting switch to ground and
disables the op amp section of the XR-220B. When a
periodic input signal appears at the circuit input and the
XR-2211 establishes lock with the signal; the lockdetect output at pin 6 goes to a "high" or nonconducting state and enables the output op amp of the XR220B; and a low-distortion sine wave output is obtained
at the output (pin 11 of XR-220B).

fa = - - - H z
Co ("F)
The triangle wave oscillator output of the XR-2211 PLL
is attenuated through a resistive divider made up of two
10KO resistors, and a variable 1OKOpotentiometer, Rx.
The attenuated triangle wave across Rx is then applied
differentially to the X-input (pins 4 and 5) of the XR220B. The 1000 external resistor across V-gain setting
terminals (pins 6 and 7) causes the Y-input of the multiplier to be slightly overdriven, and thus causes the
peaks of the triangle input rounded into a low-distortion
sine wave.
The circuit of Figure 7 can operate as a sine wave converter, over a frequency band between two frequencies
fH and fL corresponding to the upper and lower lock
ranges of the PLL. With the components shown in the
figure, this corresponds to approximately ±30% bandwidth around the center frequency, fa, for inputs with
close to 50% duty cycle. For periodic inputs with less
than 50% duty cycle, this lock range is reduced further.
For example, for inputs with 20% duty cycle, this bandwidth drops to about ± 10% of center frequency. The
operation of the circuit with input signals having less
than 10% (or more than 90%) duty cycle is not practical. The minimum input level required for circuit operation is 10 mV rms. The circuit can generate a nearly
sinusoidal output with input signals from very low
The distortion of the sine wave is minimized by adjusting Rx , which sets the traingle wave amplitude. The output is available at the unity-gain buffer terminal (pin 15)
of the XR-220B. This output is then level-shifted toward
ground, through two 10KO resistors, and is AC coupled
to the inverting input of the op amp section of XR-220B.
The gain of the op amp is externally adjusted by means

Designing High-Frequency Phase-Locked
loop Carrier· Detector Circuits
INTRODUCTION
The phase-locked loop (PLL) system can be converted
to a frequency-selective tone- or carrier-detection system by the addition of a quadrature detector section to
the basic PLL. Such a carrier-detect system serves as a
lock indicator for the PLL and produces a logic signal at
its output when there is a tone or a carrier signal
present within the lock range of the phase-locked loop.
This type of tone detection technique is a special case
of the synchronous AM detection principle, discussed
in detail in Exar's Application Note AN-13. The key difference between the tone detection and the synchronous AM detection application is that, in the case of the
tone detection, a binary logic output is produced, corresponding to the presence or the absence of the desired
input tone, rather than an analog demodulated signal.
A number of monolithic tone-decoder les have been developed which implement the quadrature-detection
technique for detection of low frequency tones, such as
those used for telephone dialing or ultrasonic remote
control. However, because of the particular PLL designs used in these monolithic detectors, their applications are limited to frequencies below 100 kHz. This application note describes a circuit approach, using the
XR-210 or the XR-215 high frequency PLLs, along with
the XR-2228 monolithic multiplier/detector, which extends phase-locked loop tone detection capabilities to
frequencies up to 20 MHz.
XR-210 and XR-215 HIGH FREQUENCY PLL CIRCUITS
The XR-210 and the XR-215 are high frequency phaselocked loop detector and demodulator circuits. Their
functional block diagrams are shown in Figures 2 and
3. Both circuits are packaged in 16-pin dual-in-line
packages and contain high frequency veo and phasedetector sections. The XR-215 chip also contains an operational amplifier. In the case of the XR-210, this op
amp section is replaced by a high-gain voltage comparator which drives an open-collector type logic output.
The XR-210 is particularly intended for FSK demodulation and can operate up to 20 MHz. The XR-215 is designed for linear FM detection and is suitable for frequencies up to 35 MHz. Except for the frequency capability of the veo, the oscillator and the
phase-comparator sections of both circuits are quite
similar.
PRINCIPLES OF OPERATION
The basic block diagram of a phase-locked loop tone
detector system is shown in Figure 1. Such a detector
system produces a logic-level signal at its output, when
the PLL is locked on an input signal. It is made up of
two main sections:
The veo section of the XR-210 or the XR-215 does not
provide a separate quadrature output, which is 90°
phase-shifted with respect to the basic veo output (Pin
15). However, the triangular output available across the
veo timing capacitor terminals (Pins 13 and 14) can
1. A PLL section which synchronizes or locks on the input signal.
2. A quadrature detector section made up of a phasedetector, a low-pass filter and a voltage-comparator.
The principle of operation can be briefly described as
follows: When the PLL is locked on an input signal, its
voltage-controlled oscillator (VeO) section produces a
set of input signals, "'1 and "'1, which are 90° apart in
phase, but have the same frequency as the input signal
to be detected. One of these signals, "'1, is used to
drive the PLL phase detector; the other output, which is
called the "quadrature output" is used to drive a quadrature phase-detector, as shown in Figure 1. If the PLL
is locked on the input signal, then the input signal and
the veo signal applied to the quadrature phasedetector are coherent in phase and frequency. This
causes a De level shift at the low-pass filtered output of
the quadrature phase-detector and makes the voltage
comparator output change its output logic state. Thus,
an output logic signal is produced indicating the lock
condition of the PLL.

given in their respective data sheets, only the external
circuitry associated with the XR-2228 is shown in the
figure. The circuit, as shown, can operate with a single
power supply, from 10 V to 20 V, or with split supplies in
the range of ± 5 V to ± 10 V. In the case of split power
supplies, the resistor string biasing the input terminals
of the XR-2228 is not necessary and can be eliminated
by connecting node A of Figure 6 to ground.
XR-222B MULTIPLIER/DETECTOR CIRCUIT
The XR-2228 is comprised of a four-quadrant multiplier
and a high-gain op amp on a single monolithic chip. It is
packaged in a 16-pin dual-in-line package and has the
functional block diagram shown in Figure 5. It contains
independent and fully differential X- and Y-inputs which
makes it easy to interface with the XR-210 or the XR215 type PLL circuit for carrier-detection applications.
In the tone- or carrier-detect application, the multiplier
section of the XR-2228 is used as the quadrature
phase-detector section of the block diagram of Figure
1. The op amp is used as a high-gain voltage comparator which converts the differential voltage level
changes at the multiplier outputs into logic level output
signals.
The input signal is AC coupled, with separate coupling
capacitors, both to the input of the particular PLL circuit to be used, and to the X-input terminal (Pin 2) of the
XR-2228.
The Y-inputs (Pins 4 and 5) are driven differentially from
the VCO timing capacitor signal (available at Pins 13
and 14 of the PLL IC) which is AC coupled to Pins 4 and
5 of the XR-2228 multiplier input. The multiplier input
stage "slices" this signal to produce the quadrature frequency waveform shown in Figure 4(c).
The differential DC voltage level at the multiplier output
terminals (Pins 1 and 6) is offset by means of an external resistor, RA, as shown in Figure 6. This initial offset
causes the op amp output of the XR-2228 to settle to a
known state when there is no carrier or tone signal to
be detected. With the op amp input connections as
shown in Figure 6, the op amp output (Pin 11) would be

Frequency·Selective AM Detection using
Monolithic Phase· Locked Loops
INTRODUCTION
This application note describes the use· of monolithic
phase-locked loop (PLL) circuits in detection of
amplitude-modulated (AM) signals. The detection capabilities of a PLL system, which is a frequency-selective
FM demodulator, can be extended to cover AM signals
simply by the addition of an analog multiplier (or mixer)
and a low-pass filter to the basic phase-locked loop.
This technique of AM demodulation, which is called
synchronous AM detection, offers significant perform·
ance advantages over conventional peak-detector type
AM demodulators, in terms of its dynamic range and
noise characteristics.
The phase-locked loop AM detectors also operate on a
similar principle: the PLL is made to "lock" on the carrier frequency of the input AM signal; then the VCO out·
put of the PLL will regenerate the unmodulated coherent carrier signal necessary for detection. When this
signal is mixed with the input AM signal and the result·
ing composite signal is passed through a low pass filter,
one obtains the demodulated output. Figure 2 gives a
block diagram of such an AM detector system. Compared to the basic synchronous AM detector system of
Figure 1, the phase·locked loop AM detector of Figure 2
also has one added feature: the output of the PLL control voltage (i.e., output of the PLL low-pass filter) can
be used as an FM detector or a frequency discrimina·
tor. Thus, such a system is capable of simultaneous AM
and FM detection. In other words, the frequency and
the amplitude modulation information present on the input signal can be separately and simultaneously demodulated. The particular design and application examples given in this application note fall into this category.
This application note outlines some of the fundamental
principles of synchronous AM detectors, and gives design examples using the XR-2228 multiplierldetector IC
in conjunction with the XR-215 and the XR-2212 monolithic PLL circuits.
PRINCIPLES OF OPERATION
The phase-locked loop AM detector circuits operate on
the so-called "coherent AM detection" principle, where
the amplitude modulated input signal is mixed with an
unmodulated "coherent" carrier signal, and then low·
pass filtered to produce the desired demodulated output signal. Figure 1 gives a simplified block diagram of
such a detector system.

The XR-2212 monolithic PLL is made up of an input preamplifier, a phase-detector, a high-gain differential amplifier and a stable voltage-controlled oscillator (VCO)
as shown in Figure 3. The key feature of the XR-2212
PLL is the temperature stability and the frequency accuracy of its VCO section; it offers 20 ppm/DC typical
temperature stability and a frequency accuracy of ±
1 % for an external RC setting. The oscillator section of
the XR-2212 contains a separate "quadrature output"
terminal (Pin 15) which is particularly intended for interfacing with a synchronous AM detector such as the XR2228.

and all the mutliplier inputs are DC biased from the internal reference output of the XR-2212 (Pin 11). The output of the multiplier, at Pin 16, is AC coupled to the op

Unlike the XR-2212 PLL, the VCO section of the XR-215
does not have a separate quadrature output terminal.
However, such a quadrature oscillator signal can be obtained by amplifying and "slicing" the triangle waveform available across the timing capacitor (Pins 13 and
14) of the XR-215 oscillator section. Figure 6 shows the
relative phase relationship of these oscillator waveforms available from the circuit. The desired quadrature

choice is arbitrary. For most applications RO ... 20

Thus, for example, a 100 mV peak input signal with

AM DETECTION USING THE XR-215 PLL
Figure 8 shows the circuit connection diagram for a
two-chip AM and FM detection system, using the XR215 high-frequency PLL in conjunction with the XR2228 multiplier/detector. Because of the high-frequency
capability of the XR-215, the circuit of Figure 81s useful
as a phase·locked AM detector for carrier frequencies
up to 20 MHz, and operates over a supply voltage range
of 10V to 20V.
For further explanation and description for the system
design equations, the reader is referred to the XR·2212
and the XR-2228 data sheets.
Design Example
Design an AM demodulator for 100 kHz carrier frequen·
cy with a detection (tracking) bandwidth of ±4%. The
demodulated information bandwidth is 3 kHz and an
output level of one volt peak is required for a one volt
peak input with 30% modulation.
The VCO section of XR-215 does not have a separate
quadrature output. However, this problem can be overcome by driving the XR-2228 multiplier directly from the
timing capacitor terminals (Pins 13 and 14) of XR-215.
The Y input of the XR-2228 is operated with maximum
gain, since the Y gain control terminals (Pins 6 and 7)
are shorted together. This causes the triangular waveform across Co to be converted to an effective quadrature drive as indicated by the timing diagram of Figure
6. The modulated input Signal is simultaneously applied
to both circuits through coupling capacitors. The
phase-detector inputs of the XR-215, as well as the multiplier X inputs of the XR-2228, are biased at approximately one-half of VCC, by means of an external resistive divider.
Using the circuit of Figure 7, one proceeds as follows:
Since FM detection is not required in this example,
components R2, C2, RC and RFl are not essential to
circuit operation. R2 and RC can be short-circuited, C2
and RFl can be left open-circuited. The rest of the component values are calculated as follows:
Step 1) Set fO = 100 kHz by choosing RO = 20 kO and
calculating Co from paragraph (a) above.
1
Co = - - = 500 pF
ROfO
In Figure 8, Co sets the VCO frequency of the XR-215.
In the case of FM demodulation, R1 and C1 serve as
the post-detection filter for the detected FM Signal and
RFl sets the gain of the FM post·detection amplifier.
Step 2) Determine Rl to set tracking bandwidth to ±
4%, from paragraph (b): Rl = 500 kO.
Step 3) Calculate Cl :Cl .. CO/2 .. 250 pF.
The mode of operation of the XR-2228 is virtually the
same as that described in connection with Figure 7: RX
sets the multiplier demodulation gain; C3 serves as the
low-pass post-detection filter. The values of RX, RF2
and C3 are calculated as given in paragraphs (f) and (g).
Step 4) From paragraph (f), calculate the value of RX
and RF2. For a typical choice of RX = 5 kO,

High-Quality Function Generator System
with the XR-2206
INTRODUCTION
Waveform or function generators capable of producing
AM/FM modulated sine wave outputs find a wide range
of applications in electrical measurement and laboratory instrumentation. This application note describes
the design, construction and the performance of such a
complete function generator system suitable for laboratory usage or hobbyist applications. The entire function
generator is comprised of a single XR-2206 monolithic
IC and a limited number of passive circuit components.
It provides the engineer, student, ·or hobbyist with· a
highly versatile laboratory instrument for waveform generation at a very small fraction of the cost of conventional function generators available today.
(a) Frequency Ranges: The function generator system is
designed to operate over four overlapping frequency ranges:
1 Hz to 100 Hz
10 Hz to 1 kHz
100 Hz to 10 kHz
1 kHz to 100 kHz
The range selection is made by switching in different timing capacitors.
(b) Frequency Setting: At any range setting, frequency
can be varied over a 100:1 tuning range with a potentiometer (see R13 of Figure 1).
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
(c) Frequency Accuracy: Frequency accuracy of the XR2206 is set by the timing resistor R and the timing
capaCitor C, and is given as:
The basic circuit configuration and the external components necessary for the high-quality function generator
system is shown in Figure 1. The circuit shown in the
figure is designed to operate with either a 12 V single
power supply, or with ± 6 V split supplies. For most applications, split-supply operation is preferred since it
results in an output dc level which is nearly at ground
potential.
f = I/RC
The above expression is accurate to within ± 5 % at
any range setting. The timing resistor R is the series
combination of resistors R4 and R13 of Figure 1.
The timing capacitor C is anyone of the capacitors
C3 through C6, shown in the figure.
The circuit configuration of Figure 1 provides three basic waveforms: since, triangle and square wave. There
are four overlapping frequency ranges which give an
overall frequency range of 1 Hz to 100 kHz. In each
range, the frequency may be varied over a 100:1 tuning
range.
(d) Sine and Triangle Output: The sine and triangle output
amplitudes are variable from 0 V to 6 Vpp. The amplitude is set by an external potentiometer, R12 of
Figure 1. At any given amplitude setting, the triangle output amplitude is approximately twice as high
as the sinewave output. The internal impedance of
the output is 600 o.
The sine or triangle output can be varied from 0 to over
6 V (peak to peak) from a 600 ohm source at the output
terminal.
(e) Sinewave Distortion: The total harmonic distortion of
sinewave is less than 1 % from 10 Hz to 10 kHz and
less than 3% over the entire frequency range. The
selection of a waveform is made by the triangle/sine
selector switch, 82.
A squarewave output is available at the sync output terminal for oscilloscope synchronizing or driving logic circuits.
TYPICAL PERFORMANCE CHARACTERISTICS
(f) Sync Output: The sync output provides a 50% duty
cycle pulse output with either full swing or upper
half swing of the supply voltage depending on the
choice of sync output terminals on the printed circuit board (see Figure 1).
The performance characteristics listed below are not
guaranteed or warranted by Exar. However, they represent the typical performance characteristics measured
by Exar's application engineers during the laboratory
evaluation of the function generator system shown in
Figure 1. The typical performance specifications listed
below apply only when all of the recommended assembly instructions and adjustment procedures are followed:
(g) Frequency Modulation (External Sweep): Frequency can
be modulated or swept by applying an external control voltage to sweep terminal (Terminal I of Figure
1). When not used, this terminal should be left open3-72

a distortion meter is available, you may use it as a final
check on the setting of sine-shaping trimmers. The minimum distortion obtained in this manner is typically less
than 1 % from 1 Hz to 10 kHz and less than 3% over
the entire frequency range.

the circuit assembly.
All the parts of the generator, with the exception of frequency adjust potentiometer, amplitude control potentiometer, triangle/sine switch and frequency range select

Install and solder all resistors, capacitors and trimmer
resistors on the PC board first. Be sure to observe the
polarity of capacitors Cl, C2, C7. The timing capacitors
C3, C4, C5 and C6 must be non-polar type. Now install

An Electronic Music Synthesizer using the
XR·2207 and the XR·2240
INTRODUCTION
Figure 3 shows the circuit connection for the electronic
music or time synthesizer system using the XR-2207
and the XR-2240. The XR-2207 produces a sequence of
tones by oscillating at a frequency set by the external
capacitor Cl and the resistors Rl through R6 connected to Pins 4 through 7. These resistors set the frequency or the "pitch" of the output tone sequence. The
counter/timer IC generates the pseudo-random pulse
patterns by selectively counting down the time-base
frequency. The counter outputs of XR-2240 (Pins 1
through 8) then activate the timing resistors Rl through
R6 of the oscillator IC, which converts the binary pulse
patterns to tones. The time-base oscillator frequency of
the counterltimer sets the "beat" or the tempo of the
music. This setting is done through C3 and RO of Figure
This application note describes a simple, low-cost "music synthesizer" system made up of two monolithic IC's
and a minimum number of external components. The
electronic music synthesizer is comprised of the XR2207 programmable tone generator IC which is driven
by the pseudo-random binary pulse pattern generated
by the XR-2240 monolithic counter/timer circuit.
PRINCIPLES OF OPERATION
All the active components necessary for the electronic
music synthesizer system is contained in the two lowcost monolithic IC's, the XR-2207 variable frequency
oscillator and the XR-2240 programmable counter/
timer. Figure 1 shows the functional block diagram of
the XR-2207 oscillator. This monolithic IC is comprised
of four functional blocks: a variable-frequency oscillator
which generates the basic periodiC waveforms; four
current switches actuated by binary keying inputs; and
buffer amplifiers for both the triangle and squarewave
outputs. The internal current switches transfer the oscillator current to any of four external timing resistors to
produce four discrete frequencies which are selected
according to the binary logic levels at the keying terminals (pins 8 and 9).
3.
The pulse sequence coming out of the counter/timer IC
can be programmed by the choice of counter outputs
(Pins 1 through 8 of XR-2240 connected to the programming pins (Pins 4 through 7) of the XR-2207 VCO. The
connection of Figure 3 is recommended since it gives a
particularly melodic tone sequence at the output.
The pseudo-random pulse pattern out of the countertimer repeats itself at 8-bit (or 256 count) intervals of
the time-base period. Thus, the output tone sequence
continues for about 1 to 2 minutes (depending on the
"beat") and then repeats itself. The counter/timer resets to zero when the device is. turned on; thus, the music, or the tone sequence, always starts from the same
point when the synthesizer is turned on.
The XR-2240 programmable counter/timer is comprised
of an internal time-base oscillator, a control flip-flop and
a programmable 8-bit binary counter. Its functional
block diagram is shown in Figure 2, in terms of the 16pin IC package. The eight separate output terminals of
the XR-2240 are "open-collector" type outputs which
can either be used individually, or can be connected in
a "wired-or" configuration.

Semi-Custom LSI Design with 12L
Gate Arrays
INTRODUCTION
The 12L logic technology is developed around the basic
single-input, mUltiple-output inverter circuit shown in
Figure 2. A recommended circuit symbol for this gate
circuit is also defined in the figure. Most terminals of
the 12L gate share the same semi-conductor region (for
example, the collector of the PNP is the same as the
base of the NPN; and the emitter of the NPN is the
same as the base of the PNP). This leads to a very compact device structure, and results in very high packing
density in monolithic device fabrication. Figure 3 illustrates the basic device structure and the cross-section
for a bipolar-compatible 12L gate. Since the individual
12L gates do not require separate P-type isolation diffusions, they can be placed in a common N-type tUb. This
feature greatly enhances the packing density on the
chip since it eliminates the need for separate isolation
pockets for individual gates. With conventional photomasking and diffusion tolerances, gate densities of
greater than 200 gates/mm 2 can be readily achieved in
full-custom layout. Using the semi-custom approach
which is outlined in this paper, one can maintain a packing density of greater than 120 gates/mm 2 even with
random metallization or Interconnection requirements.
This offers at least a factor of four improvement over
conventional bipolar master-slice technology and approximately a factor of two improvement over MaS
master-slice approach in terms of gate-density and chip
area utilization.
In designing semi-custom monolithic LSI, one uses a
partially fabricated silicon wafer which is "customized"
by the application of one or more special mask patterns. This technique greatly reduces the design and
tooling cost and the prototype fabrication cycle associated with the conventional full-custom IC development
cycle; and thus makes custom IC's economically feasible even at low production volumes.
Until recently, the application of semi-custom design
technology to complex digital systems has been somewhat limited due to one key factor: to be economically
feasible, a complex digital LSI chip must achieve a high
functional density on the chip (I.e., high gate count per
unit chip area). Traditionally, this requirement is not
compatible with the random interconnection concept
which is key to the semi-custom or master-slice design
approach. This paper describes a new approach to the
master-slice concept which overcomes this age-old
problem. It achieves packing densities approaching
those of full-custom digital LSI layout while still maintaining the low-cost and the quick turn-around attributes of semi-custom IC design. This is achieved by
making use of unique layout and interconnection properties of 12L gates, and by extending the maskprogramming to additional mask layers besides the
metal interconnection.
FEATURES OF 12L TECHNOLOGY

Integrated Injection Logic (12L) is one of the most significant recent advances in the area of monolithic LSI
technology. Compared to other monolithic LSI technologies, 12L offers the following unique advantages:

Figure 1 gives a comparison of the speed and power
capabilities of various logic families, including 12L.
Since 12L technology is a direct extension of the conventional bipolar IC technology, it readily lends itself to
combining high-density digital functions on the same
chip along with conventional Schottky-bipolar circuitry.
The availability of bipolar input-output interface on the
same chip along with the high-density 12L logic makes it
very convenient to retrofit custom 12L designs into
many existing logic systems.

----~----
This section of the 12L gate array is made up of 8gate "cells." These cells contain eight mUltipleoutput 12L inverters which share a common set of
four injectors. Figure 5 shows a basic 8-gate cell
section within the 12L gate section, prior to customization. The basic 8-gate cells forming the 12L gate
matrix are made up of P-type injectors and gatefingers which serve as the base regions of the 12L
gates. The six dots on each gate area indicate the
possible locations or sites for gate input or outputs.
The particular use of these sites as an input or an
output is determined by two custom masks: an Ntype collector diffusion mask which defines the locations of outputs, and a custom contact mask which
opens the appropriate input and output contact. Finally, a third custom mask is applied to form the metal interconnections between the gates, and the gate
cells. The custom N-type diffusion step, which determines the locations of gate outputs, is also used for
forming low-resistivity underpasses between the
gate-cells. The area between each of the gate cells
can accommodate two or three parallel underpasses in the horizontal and the vertical directions,
respectively. Since the N-type diffusion which forms
these underpasses is a part of the customizing step,
the location and the length of each underpass can
be chosen to fit a given interconnection require-

DESIGNING WITH 12L GATE ARRAYS
A number of 12L gate arrays have been developed at
Exar utilizing bipolar-compatible integrated injection
logic technology. The most recent additions to this family of products are the XR-300 and the XR-500 gate array
chips which are specifically intended for semi-custom
Ie designs involving complex digital systems. These
chips contain a large number of mUltiple-output 12L
gates along with Schottky-bipolar input/output buffers_
Table I gives a summary of the components available
on each of these chips.
Figure 4 shows the basic layout architecture of the XR300 and the XR-500 gate array chips. As indicated in
the figure, each chip is made up of two sections: (a) the
12L gate matrix; and (b) the Schottky-bipolar input/
output interface. In addition, the bipolar I/O section contains two identical sets of resistor arrays, located at opposite ends of the chip, which are used for biaSing the
injectors of the 12L gates_ The basic features of each of
the sections of the gate array chips are outlined below:

interconnection paths on the surface of the chip; and
allows approximately 80 % of the gates on the chip
to be utilized in a typical random-logic layout.

suit varying customer needs or capabilities. Figure 13

typical 12L semi-custom program. The sequence of

Using a specially developed computerized mask generation technique, the three layers of necessary custom

custom Ie tooling generated in Steps 3 and 4.
•
Step 6. Assembly/Test and Prototype Delivery:
The completed monolithic chips are first evaluated on
the finished Ie wafer, and later assembled, electrically
tested and delivered as the completed prototypes.
Figure 13. Sequence 01 Steps Associated with a SemiCustom LSI Development Cycle.
In many cases, the first two steps indicated in the flow
chart of Figure 13, can be done b~ the customer, in consultation with Exar, using Exar's 12L Design Kit and the
design instruction manual. Whenever possible, such an
approach is recommended, since it greatly reduces the
development costs and the turnaround time.
Step 1. Feasibility Review and Logic Conversion:
Starting with the customer's logic diagram (preferably
reduced to flip-flops and gates) the first step is a detailed review of the system requirements with regards
to the overall gate count, 1/0 requirements, operating
speeds, etc., to assure feasibility of integration, and to
choose the most economical gate array chip to be
used. If the results of this review indicate feasibility, the
next step is to convert the logic diagram into 12L gates.
At this state, a computer simulation of the logic diagram may also be performed, if deemed necessary.
Typical development cycle containing all the steps outlined in the flow chart of Figure 13, takes about 8 to 12
weeks, depending on the circuit complexity, and whether the customer or Exar does the logic conversion and
pencil layout.
Figure 14 shows the photo-micrograph of a typical
semicustom LSI chip, fabricated using the technology
outlined in this paper. As indicated in the figure, the use
of 3-mask customization step results in an efficient layout and utilization of the available active devices within
the 12L gate array.

tremely high development costs (typically in the range
of $50,000 to $100,000) associated with full custom de·
signs make the amortized unit cost of full custom IC's
far more expensive than semi·custom designs, at low
production quantities. Similarly, for the lower chip cost
of full custom IC's make this approach more economi·
cal for high production volumes. Typical cross·over
paint between the economics of the full or semi·custom
technology comes about in the quantity range of
50,000 pieces to 150,000 pieces, as implied by the iIIus·
tration of Figure 15. However, it should be noted that
Figure 15 is only a typical "case study," and that the ac·
tual cross·over point for a given program will depend on
the circuit complexity, performance and test require·
ments, and the type of IC package used.

ECONOMICS OF SEMI-CUSTOM DESIGN
In developing custom LSI circuits, one is confronted by
the following key question: for a given production reo
quirement, is it cheaper to develop a full or semicustom IC? Since the performance and functional reo
quirements of custom IC's vary greatly, there is no gen·
eral answer to the above question. However, based on
the overall production requirements it is possible to es·
tablish some economic guidelines for deciding which
custom IC technology to use, and when.
CONVERTING SEMI-CUSTOM TO FULL CUSTOM
It is often possible to start a development program us·
ing the semi·custom technology, such as the 12L gate
arrays described in this paper, and later change to a full
custom deSign when the production quantities increase
beyond the cost cross·over point illustrated in Figure
15. Such two·phase approach often combines the best
advantages of each of the semi· and full custom tech·
nologies. For example, the initial development can be
done in a semi·custom manner, using Exar's 12L gate
arrays, and thus take full advantage of the low tooling
cost and the short development cycle. As a customer's
product matures and its market expands, resulting in
higher volume production run rates, Exar can convert
the multiple semi·custom chip approach into a single
custom IC, achieving a cost reduction and in many
cases a performance improvement. The Significant ad·
vantage of this type of program is that the risk associ·
ated with a custom development is greatly reduced; the
IC design approach has been proven, and the design
"bugs" are removed at the semi-custom stage thus
eliminating the need for lengthy re-design cycles at the
full custom level. Once the semi-custom chip is completely characterized in the user's system, and is used
for the initial production runs, it can be gradually
"phased-out" by a full custom design without interrupting the user's production line.
One of the main advantages of semi·custom LSI design
over conventional full custom IC development is the
greatly reduced development cost. This development
cost generally amounts to 10% to 30% of that required
for a complete custom IC design. However, since the
semi·custom design technique tends to waste some of
the IC chip area due to random interconnections, the
unit price of a semi·custom LSI chip in volume produc·
tion is slightly higher (approximately 10% to 30%) then
a full or complete custom design. Therefore, to decide
which is the most economical approach, it is best to
compare the estimated amortized unit cost per device
for various production quantities. Figure 15 gives such
a comparison for a "typical" custom LSI chip, as a
function of total production requirement. The total am·
ortized cost per unit is defined as the total cost of the
development plus the production purchase, divided by
the total number or quantity of units purchased. The ex·

Figure 1 shows the package diagram of the XR-C409

D-type flip-fl9PS which are internally connected as frequency dividers. Each of these dividers provide buffered open-collector outputs. Siocks 3, 4, and 5 are 8stage ring-oscillators with buffered outputs to be used
for measuring gate propagation delays at different injector current levels.
The total injector current, IT, is shared among 16 individual 12L gates forming the frequency-divider sections.

Measuring Output Waveforms
For the case of the 7-stage oscillator circuits in the XRC409 test chip, Td can be calculated from equation (8)
by setting N = 7.
The output terminals of XR-C409 ring counter sections
are open-collector type terminals, similar to the outputs
of the frequency divider sections. Thus, the outputs require pull-up resistors to the positive supply voltage.
The output rise-time is strongly affected by the external
RC time constant due to the load resistance, RL, and
the parasitic load capacitance, CL. In the test circuit of
Figure 9, a low-capacitance clamp diode, D1 is used to
limit the output swing and thus minimize the slow risetime effects.
Figure 10 shows the typical gate-delay vs. injector current characteristics measured from the three ringoscillator sections of XR-C409. In the figure, the gate
delay is plotted as a function of the injector current per

operation.
The minimum value of load resistance, RL, is determined by the current sinking capability of the output 12L
gate. For proper operation of the ring-oscillator circuits,

Designing Wide-Tracking
Phase-Locked Loop Systems
INTRODUCTION
The actual driving voltage for the VCO is now a voltage
proportional to fi which can be varied a fixed percentage by the phase detector.
Phase locked-loops with their excellent frequency
tracking characteristics have found their way into many
applications where synchronizing or synthesizing of signals is required. Although they do have the ability to
track an incoming signal very well, the actual tracking
range is quite limited by the nature of PLL:s to less than
2:1. This range of less than 2:1 must be observed if harmonic locking, a plague to the designer, is to be avoided.
CIRCUIT DESIGN
The heart of the circuit is the XR-2212 Precision PhaseLocked Loop. Figure 2 shows the XR-2212's internal
blocks and necessary external components. The VCO
in the XR-2212 is actually a current controlled oscillator.
This application note describes the design of tracking
PLL with a tracking range of greater than 100:1, with
no harmonic locking problems. This design uses the
XR-2212 Precision Phase-Locked Loop in conjunction
with the XR-320 Monolithic Timer and an XR-084 Quad
BiFet Operational Amplifier to form a wide range PLL
with automatic tuning.
Pin 12 is fixed at the reference voltage, Vr
= V;
, and
the current drawn from this terminal controls the frequency of oscillation of the VCO, fO. With RO grounded,
as shown, the VCO's free running or center frequency
is:
PRINCIPLES OF OPERATION
fO = _1_
ROCO
Figure 1 shows the block diagram of the tracking PLL.
The circuit is comprised of three blocks: the PLL, the
Frequency to Voltage Converter, and Precision Clamping Circuit. The blocks operate as follows. The PLL
locks onto the incoming frequency and produces an
output frequency identical to that of the input, but
phase shifted. The center of the lock range is controlled
by V1. V1 is derived from the FN converter, which produces a voltage proportional to the incoming frequency.
This voltage, V1, thus provides an automatic PLL center
frequency tuning Signal. The swing of the phase detectors filtered voltage, V2, controls the amount the VCO
can be moved about its center frequency. The precision
clamp fixes the swing on V2 to a fixed percentage of V1,
keeping the tracking range of the PLL constant as its
center frequency is varied.
RO and Co are calculated using this relationship at fO
maximum. With the PLL locked on its center frequency,
the phase detector's dc output, Pin 10, is also at Vr and
the current flowing in RO is proportional to fO. If the bottom end of RO is now raised above ground, the current
in RO will change linearily with the voltage, as will fO
thus providing the voltage control input for the VCO. If
RO is left at zero volts and fi is moved, the dc voltage at
Pin 10 will inversely follow fi, increasing fi decreases
the voltage at Pin 10, modulating the current from Pin
10 and thus fO. The maximum swing of Pin 10 is ± Vr,
giving the following relationship:

put voltage range is 10 mV RMS to 3 V RMS with the
output providing a T2L compatible square wave.
Figure 6 shows the complete wide range synthesizer
circuit. The two 4-bit binary counters, 74161, and magnitude comparator, 8130, form the programmable divider. The output of the divider is a variable duty cycle
pulse so that the flip-flop, 7474, was added so that
phase detector was always presented with a square
wave. Since the flip-flop also divides by two, the minimum value for the divider will be 2 or the actual N of the
overall divider will be the binary input times two, 2N.
The DAC uses the reference voltage of the XR-2212 as
its reference with amplifier A4 used to scale the voltage
to RO correctly. C1 provides loop compensation and its
value will determine not only the response of the circuit
but the short term frequency stability of fO. A trade off
must be made here as decreasing C1 will provide for a
faster responding loop but decrease the short term stability of fO. It is probably most desirable to have a highly
stable output frequency and slower responding loop,
which the values in Figure 6 provide for.

Clock Recovery System
INTRODUCTION
Recovering encoded serial data from floppy disk systems poses a major design problem as the synchronized clock used to encode data is embedded within
the data stream. The clock cannot be readily extracted
using common phase-locked loop techniques as the actual clock may appear for only short periods of time in a
common encoding format such as NRZI. This clock is
necessary to decode the serial data and retrieve the
original data.
Figure 2 shows the block diagram of the clock recovery
system. The XR-320 forms a bi-directional one-shot. It
will produce a positive output pulse for both rising and
falling edges on its input. The period of these output
pulses is set equal to one half the total period of clock.
This is used to provide a frequency component in the
data stream equal to the clock even under worst case
data conditions of five ones, zero, five ones, zero. (Seen
in Figure 1.) This can also be seen to double the frequency of the data stream which is desirable as the
PLL will now be able to lock to the original clock. The
XR-2212 forms the PLL which, when the actual clock
appears in the data stream, locks to and produces a
frequency at its veo output equal to and synchronized
with the clock. The PLI':s phase detector output is connected to the input of a sample and hold (S/H) as well
as the S/H's output through a switch. This switch is held
open by the 74123 as long as the clock appears in the
data stream. Whenever a one is present the clock will
not appear in the data stream and the 74123 places the
sample and hold in the hold mode and closes the
switch. This holds the voltage at the phase detector and
keeps the proper driving voltage to the veo, thus maintaining the frequency at the output of the veo equal to
and synchronized with the clock.
This application note describes the design of a PLL
(phase-locked loop) system which can be used to recover the clock from a serial data stream using NRZI
proto·col with very excellent stability. The design utilizes
the XR-2212 Precision Phase-Locked Loop in conjunction with the XR-320 Monolithic Timer to form the heart
of the system. The system also uses a 74123 Dual OneShot and 398/13333 for timing and sample and hold
purposes.
PRINCIPLES OF OPERATION
Figure 1 shows a data stream and clock using a typical
NRZI protocol. In this protocol changes in levels represents a binary zero, while no transitions a binary one.
From the figure it can be seen that the data stream can
have a maximum rate of change corresponding to a frequency equal to one half the clock frequency with the
actual data being a string of zeros. This format guarantees that there will be no more than five ones in a row.
The slowest rate of change will then be a frequency
corresponding to one twelfth the clock.

When the clock reappears in the data stream the 74121
drives the switch open and S/H to the sample mode
with the PLL once again tracking the clock in the data
stream. The length of T1 is made equal to slightly less
than the period of the clock so that the S/H is always
ready in the event the clock is not in the data stream
and any sample to hold glitches will not be transmitted
to the phase detector's output. The length of T2 is made
slightly longer than the clock period which will cause
the switch to close immediately after one clock pulse is
missed. With a clock period T, these times, T1 and T2,
are set equal to 0.8 T and 1.2 T, respectively.

Hz and 2225 Hz received from the line. The originate
modem simply reverses the frequencies for send and
receive. The sinewave modulator will produce two discrete frequencies at its output corresponding to a "1"
or a "0" at its data input. The line hybrid will steer these
frequencies to the phone line while causing received
frequencies to go to the bandpass filter and demodulator. This block will therefore provide isolation between
modulator and demodulator at each end. The bandpass
filter is used to remove unwanted signals and noise received from the phone line before they reach the
demodulator.
Figure 1 shows the block diagram of an FSK system.
The complete system is comprised of an answer and
originate modem. The answer modem will convert input
data to either 1070 Hz or 1270 Hz and send it to the
The PLL demodulator will lock onto incoming frequencies at its input and produce" 1's" or "O's" at its output.
The carrier detect output will produce a low, "0" signal

With the number of digital systems and equipment
growing so rapidly, the need for a method of moving data has also become a fast growing field. This application note describes the construction of a modem system using frequency shift keying, FSK, for serial data
transmission. The system utilizes the XR-2206 as a
modulator, the XR-2211 as a demodulator, and an
XR-084 op amp as a bandpass filter. These three IC's
make up a complete working 300 baud, full duplex, FSK

on the data received output.
The circuit has been designed for + 12 volt operation.
The data inputs accept TIL compatible signal levels,
while the outputs provide OV to + 12V signal levels.
Calibration is done by first adjusting the modulator. With
a low signal on its input, R21 is adjusted for 1270 Hz or
2225 Hz for originate and answer respectively. Then
with a high signal in, R22 is adjusted for 1070 Hz or

R20 is used to set the modulator output level. With the
modulator output set at - 6 dBm, the system will operate with an input signal range of + 10 dBm to - 48
dBm.
CIRCUIT CONSTRUCTION
The demodulator is easiest adjusted by feeding into the
modem input an alternating 1070 Hz/1270 Hz or 2025
Hz/2225 Hz signal in a square-wave fashion. The modulating frequency should be 150 Hz, which is one-half
the system baud rate of 300. The baud rate refers to the

Precision Narrow-Band Tone Detector
INTROOUCTION
PRINCIPLES OF OPERATION
The Phase-Locked Loop (PLL) is a very versatile building block with a wide range of applications in signal processing and communication systems. As a tone detector or tone discriminator, the PLL is accurate and stable
enough for most applications not requiring very narrow
bandwidths. The smallest, practical detection band is
limited by the temperature stability of the PLL center
frequency and accuracies of external components. For
example, deSigning a tone detector using a single PLL
to discriminate a 10Hz tone out of 100 kHz can present
great difficulty. A PLL with center frequency of 100 kHz
can drift by 2 Hz/oC given a typical center frequency
drift of 20 ppm/oC. A slight change in ambient temperature can cause the PLL to unlock. On the other hand,
there are various applications involving pressure transducers and crystal oscillators that require a very stable
system capable of detecting a small change in frequency over a wide frequency spectrum.
Figure 1 shows the block diagram of the narrow-band
tone detector using the XR-2208 and XR-2213. The
XR-2208 is being operated as a balanced modulator or
frequency mixer. It "mixes" the input frequency, fiN,
with a stable frequency source, fC, to produce the sum
and difference frequencies of fiN and fC. The low pass
filter removes the higher frequency component (fiN +
fC) and passes the difference frequency to the XR-221.3
PLL. The input signal is "mixed-down" in frequency In
this manner, allowing the PLL center frequency, fo, to
be set at a much lower frequency than the input signal.
With a lower fo, the PLL drift (Hz/oC) becomes less,
making the tone detector less susceptible to ambient
temperature changes.
The input signal to the XR-2208 is a periodic waveform
with frequency of:
fiN ± AflN
This application note describes the use of the XR-2213
PLL in conjunction with the XR-2208 analog multiplier
as a frequency mixer. It is capable of detecting a 1 Hz
tone out of a frequency spectrum greater than 1 MHz. It
can accept almost any periodic waveform including
sine, square, and triangular waves. Error due to temperature drift is typically 0.2 %/oC. The tone detector output changes to a high state when the input is within the
detection band.
where AflN is the detection range. The range of frequencies for detection is between fiN - AflN and fiN
+ AfIN. It is necessary to band-limit the input frequency for proper operation of the tone detector. Since the
XR-2208 takes the "absolute" difference in frequency
between fiN and fC, it is possible to obtain the same
output frequency with different values for fiN, .causing
the tone detector to lock onto the "wrong" frequencies.

In order to band-limit the input frequencies, a low pass
filter with very sharp roll-off (6th order or higher) with
the corner frequency around fiN can be used. For high
frequency applications (fiN> 100 kHz), a bandpass
crystal filter can be used. Crystal filters have stable frequency characteristics and very high Q's (Q > 1000)
making very sharp bandpass filters. Crystal filters are
commercially available through various manufacturers.

The control frequency, fC, must come from a very stable and accurate source since any error in fC will directly affect the tone decoder. A crystal oscillator with a
"divide-by-N" counter as shown in Figure 2 can generate a very stable frequency, with temperature stability
in the range of 1 ppm/DC.

tional to the error voltage. The VCO is actually a "cur·
rent" controlled oscillator (ICO) in the sense that it is
the current derived from VOUT that actually controls
the frequency of oscillation.
This Application Note discusses the various parameters
and equations used in applying the XR·210, XR·215,
and XR·S200 Phase Lock Loop (PLL) successfully. It de·
scribes the operation of the phase detector and the
voltage controlled oscillator as well as a discussion on
phase comparator gain, VCO gain, lock range, capture
range and free running frequency. A section on low
pass filters contains most common RC filters and a dis·
cussion on damping factor. Finally, a summary of PLL
parameters and a design example are included.

It is possible to obtain a tracking range close to 90· ±
90· by connecting an external resistor network to the
phase detector output as shown in Figure 5. This circuitry limits the output swing to 10 ± 1 volt and prevents the internal circuitry from saturating at extreme
phase conditions.
The output of the phase detector is connected to a low
pass filter which converts the square wave output to an
approximate dc voltage. The relationship of this dc voltage, VOUr. with respect to the input phase difference,
.p, Is shown graphically In Figure 4a. Assuming no saturation occurs in the internal circuitry, a PLL can lock onto an input signal with maximum difference of 180· to
o· with respect to the veo signal.
The phase comparator gain for the XR-210 is approximately given by:
Due to internal saturation of the output, the maximum
phase difference the XR-210 can track is approximately
50· or 90· ± 25·. This is because the output transistors
of the phase detector saturate at approximately 8.3
volts and the maximum output voltage, VOUr. obtainable is about ± 1.7 volts. Figure 4b shows the phase
detector characteristic of the XR-210.

The term KV shown in the filters is the total forward gain
of the Pll and is equal to the product of K> and KO'
however, by adjusting T, the damping factor as well as
the capture range is changed. These two parameters
can be individually controlled in a lag-lead filter.
CAPTURE RANGE
The capture or acquisition range of the Pll, ± awC,
can be approximated as:
± awC ;; ± aWL IF(j awC) I
General systems and control theory indicates that for
maximum stability the damping factor, 0, must be
greater than 0.7. In many FSK demodulation circuits
using Exar Plls, it was found that with Ii as low as 0.2,
the circuit functions properly at high baud rates.
(38)
where IF(j awC) I is the magnitude of the low pass filter
evaluated at w = awC. Since I F(j awcli is always less
than unity, the capture range is always smaller than the
lock range.
DESIGN EXAMPLE
Design an FSK demodulator using the XR-210 with the
following specifications:
There is no explicit relationship for calculating awC,

INTRODUCTION
CIRCUIT DESIGN
Most phase-locked loops require manual potentiometer
adjustment if the center frequency of the circuit is critical. Also, once adjusted, if ambient temperature
changes cause the PLL's VCO or center frequency to
shift, the potentiometer would have to be readjusted if
the accurate center frequency was to be maintained.
Readjustments are, of course, an impractical solution.
Figure 2 shows the XR-215 internal blocks and necessary external components. The VCO center frequency,
fo, is calculated by the formula:

In this application it is desirable to have a variable current drawn from Pin 10, and RX omitted. Equation 1 is
then modified to equation 2 is a current instead of a resistor is used at Pin 10.
This application note describes the design of a digitally
programmable PLL. Being digitally controlled, a microprocessor or other digital circuitry could easily tune or
retune the VCO when necessary. The design uses the
XR-215 monolithic PLL together with the XR-9201 D/A
converter, which provides the tuning function.

Equation 2 can now be used to determine IplN 10 for a

has been set, RO can be calculated to adjust the tracking range using the relationship:
Figure 1 shows the block diagram of the digitally programmable PLL. The circuit is comprised of two blocks:
the PLL and the D/A converter. The PLL is used for FM
demodulation, synchronizing signals, or frequency synthesis. It processes these signals, which are centered
around its free-running frequency, fo . This fo is set by
the internal voltage-controlled oscillator, VCO, in the
PLL. The VCO within the XR-215 is really a currentcontrolled oscillator, ICO. This is, the frequency of oscillation of the ICO is directly proportional to the timing
current, IT- IT is made up of two components: an internal fixed current and an externally programmable current, IplN 10. This IplN 10 control current is provided by
a D/A converter with a current output. Since the D/A
provides an output current that is directly set by an input digital code, this code will actually control the center frequency of the PLL's ICO, fo .

Full-Duplex 1200 BPS/300 BPS
Modem System
ceived signal range can vary from about 0 dBm to
-45 dBm.
INTRODUCTION
This application note describes the construction of a
full-duplex modem system which operates at either
1200 BPS with phase shift keying encoding (PSK)
or 300 BPS with frequency shift keying (FSK). The
1200 BPS is in a synchronous format or 300 BPS asynchronous.
DEMUX. Demultiplexer to switch transmitted carrier
(Txc) and received data (Rxd) between 300 BPS and
1200 BPS.
AUTO SPEED SELECT. Automatically senses whether
300 BPS or 1200 BPS information is being received
and controls the demux with this information.
This system is not intended to be directly connected to
the telephone network as this requires FCC approval.
SLICER. A voltage comparator used to convert analog receive carriers (Rxcar) into digital signals suitable for the XR-2123 and XR-14412 Rxcar inputs.
PRINCIPLES OF OPERATION
The heart of this system is three LSI integrated circuits.
The XR-2120 is a switched-capacitor filter (SCF) to
provide precise bandpass filtering at 1200 Hz and
2400 Hz. The XR-2123 performs the 1200 BPS PSK
modulation/demodulation and the XR-14412 the 300 BPS
FSK modulation/demodulation. These three devices are
shown with the necessary external functions to perform
a 212A type synchronous modem in Figure 1. These
other functions are described as follows:
CARRIER DETECT (CD). A level sensor with a digital
output to indicate when a Rxcar is present.
TIMING CIRCUIT. This circuit extracts a 600 Hz receive signal timing from the Rxcar for synchronization purposes in the XR-2123.
SCRAMBLER/DESCRAMBLER. These sections scramble the data to be transmitted (Txd) while descrambling the received data (Rxd).
LINE INTERFACE. Provide DC isolation between modem and telephone network. This section, known as
a direct-access arrangement, must be approved by
the FCC for direct connection to the telephone network.
DELAY CIRCUIT. To provide a delay between the request to send (RTS) data and clear to send (CTS) data commands.

High-Speed FSK Modem Design
INTRODUCTION
DESIGN EQUATIONS - Refer to Figure 6
As the need for transmitting data increases, some applications require data to be sent faster than the conventional telephone line modems. This application note
describes the design and construction of a high speed
full-duplex, FSK modem using XR-2206 as a modulator
and XR-21 0 as the demodulator transmitting data at the
rate of 100 Kilobaud.
1. The frequency of oscillation of the XR-2206 when
used as a modulator, with the FSK input (Pin 9) is
high is:
R7A
The block diagram in Figure 1 describes the basic
building block in any FSK modem system. The major
difference is that in high speed applications, data is
transmitted over a twisted pair wire or coaxial cable instead of the telephone line with its limited bandwidth.
The complete system is comprised of an answer and
originate modem. Simply stated, the modulator converts the input data to two discrete frequencies corresponding to its 1's and O's and is then sent over a line or
cable. The line hybrid steers these frequencies to the
bandpass filter, where it will remove any unwanted signals that might have gotten through due to the line or
cable before reaching the demodulator. The demodulator, which is a phase locked loop, will lock onto the incoming frequencies and produce 1's and O's on its output. A detailed description on FSK techniques is given
in the EXAR MODEM DESIGN HANDBOOK.

ffrcm ~[h1e XfR{,,215 Monolithic Pll Circuit
INTRODUCTION
With digital circuitry as common as it is, it is necessary
to be able to interface analog signals to digital systems.
This can be done by using the XR-215, a monolithic PLL
circuit, and an additional buffer circuit.
approximately 3 volts. The veo output is ac coupled in
order to block this dc level. The input signal causes 01
to be overdriven, where the amplitude is 400 mVpp offselted at approximately 0.769 Vdc. When 01 is in the
offstate, the collector voltage will be forced high and
when this voltage exceeds 0.7 Vdc, 02 will turn on and
the collector of 01 will be clamped at 0.7 Vdc. The output of the veo at the TTL buffered output will be in
phase.
When an input signal is present within the capture
range of the PLL system, the XR-215 will lock on the input signal and the veo section of the PLL will synchronize with the input frequency. The veo output can then
be buffered in order to produce a TTL compatible output.

Figure 1 shows a functional block diagram of the XR215 monolithic PLL system. The circuit contains a
phase comparator, a voltage controlled oscillator (VeO),
and an operational amplifier. A complete phase locked
loop system can be made by simple ac coupling the
veo output to either of the phase comparator inputs,
and by adding a low pass filter to the phase comparator
outputs.

The veo output can be buffered in order to produce a
TTL compatible output at high frequencies by the simple common emitter circuit shown in Figure 2. The amplitude of veo degrades as frequency increases and at
21 MHz, the amplitude is reduced from approximately
2.5 Vpp to 400 mVpp. The dc output level is 2 volts below Vee so with Vee equal to ± 5 volts, the dc level is

HIGH FREQUENCY SYNTHESIS
An application where a high frequency TTL compatible
output would be useful is in high frequency synthesis,
as shown in Figure 3. The output of the buffer, which
can produce a high frequency TTL compatible output,
is divided down the divider modulus N. When the entire
system is synchronized to an input signal at frequency
fs, the veo output (pin 15) is at frequency Nfs, where N
is the divider modulus. This is useful because a large
number of discrete frequencies can be synthesized
from a given reference frequency.

XR·212AS Modem System
INTRODUCTION
XR-212DA 212A1V.22 Modem Filter: This is a switched capacitor type filter to perform precise filtering and equalization for transmitted and received carrier frequencies
of 1200 Hz and 2400 Hz.
This application note describes a four-chip modem set
designed to perform the complete Bell 212A type modem function. Described are the functions of each device, the connection of the four together, and testing
procedures with performance data.
XR-2121 - PSK/FSK Modulator: Complete modulation
functions are performed by this device for both 300
BPS FSK and 1200 BPS PSK.
PRINCIPLES OF OPERATION
XR-2122 - PSK/FSK Demodulator: Demodulation of FSK or
PSK encoded carriers is performed by the XR-2122.
The basic characteristics of the 212A type modem are
listed In Figure 1. As seen, this type of system is basically a dual modem. It can communicate with either
low speed FSK modems (Bell 100 Series) or at 1200
BPS to PSK modems.
XR-2125 - Data Bufter: Performs asynchronous to synchronous and synchronous to asynchronous conversion.
MAJOR 212A TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS
Figure 2 illustrates the major components of most modem systems. The four sections are:
DATA RATES:
Low Speed Mode:
0-300 BPS Asynchronous Format
High Speed Mode:
1200 BPS Character-Asynchronous Format
1200 BPS Synchronous Format
1. Modem Signal Processor (MSP): This is the heart of
the modem. It contains the modulator, demodulator, and filtering functions.
2. Data Coupler: This section in the 212A is a direct access arraignment (DM). This type is directly connected to the switched telephone network. The
DM serves to protect the phone network from
modem and vice versa.
ENCODING FORMATS:
Low Speed Mode:
FSK (Frequency Shift Keying)
High Speed Mode:
PSK (Phase Shift Keying)
3. UART: Performs serial to parallel conversion and
timing functions.
OPERATING MODE:
Full-Duplex at all Speeds
4. Handshaking Controls: Timing functions for signals
such as clear to send (CTS) and request to send
(RTS).
LINE REQUIREMENT:
Two-Wire Switched Network
The XR-212A consists of the following four devices
which perform the complete MSP function.

Monolithic Chips for Hybrid Assemblies
HANDLING PRECAUTIONS AND PACKAGING OPTIONS
The major performance characteristics of Exar products are also available in chip form. All chips are 100%
electrically tested for guaranteed dc parameters at
25 D C, and 100% visually inspected at 30x to 100x
magnification using Exar's standard visual inspection
criteria or MIL-STO-883, Method 2010, depending on
the individual customer requirements. Each chip is protected with an inert glass passivation layer over the
metal interconnections. The chips are packaged in
waffle-pack carriers with an anti-static shield and cushioning strip placed over the active surface to assure
protection during shipment. All chips are produced on
the same well-proven production lines that produce
Exar's standard encapsulated devices. The Quality Assurance testing of dice is provided by normal production testing of packaged devices.
Extreme care must be used in the handling of unencapsulated semiconductor chips or dice, to avoid damage
to the chip surface. Exar offers the following two handling or packaging options for monolithic chips supplied to the customer:
Cavity or Waffle Pack: The dice are placed in individual
compartments of the waffle pack (see figure). The plastic snap clips permit inspection and resealing
Wafer Pack: The entire wafer is sandwiched between
two pieces of mylar and vacuum sealed in a plastic
envelope.
FEATURES
Guaranteed dc Parameters at 25 D C
100% Visual Inspection
Care' in Packaging
100% Stabilization Bake (Wafer Form)
CHIPS IN WAFER FORM
Probed and inked wafers are also available from Exar.
The hybrid microcircuit designer can specify either
scribed or unscribed wafers and receive a fully tested
silicon wafer. Rejected die are clearly marked with an
ink dot for easy identification in wafer form.
ELECTRICAL PARAMETERS
Probing the IC chips in die form limits the electrical
testing to low-level dc parameters at 25 D C. These dc
parameters are characteristic of those parameters contained on the individual device data sheet and are guaranteed to an LTPO of 10%.
The ac parameters, which are similar to those in the
standard Exar device data sheets, have been correlated
to selected dc probe parameters.
