In the analog mode, the TCM4300 provides all required baseband filtering as well as transmit D/A
conversion and receive A/D conversion using dual 10-bit sigma-delta converters. In addition, a WBD
wide-band data (WBD) –10 kb/s Manchester frequency shift key (FSK) demodulator is provided to allow
reduced DSP processing load during subscriber standby mode.
In the digital mode, the TCM4300 accepts I and Q baseband data and performs A/D and D/A conversion
and square-root raised-cosine filtering using dual 10-bit sigma-delta converters. The TCM4300 also has a
π/4-DQPSK modulation encoder for dibit-to-symbol conversion in the digital transmit mode.
The microcontroller interface is compatible with a wide range of microcontrollers. A microcontroller can be
used to communicate with the user interface (keyboard, display, etc.) and to program up to three frequency
synthesizers by using the on-chip synthesizer interface circuit.
The TCM4300 provides advanced power control to minimize the power consumption of many dual-mode
telephone functional blocks such as the speech codec, FM receiver, I and Q demodulator, transmitter signal
processor, and RF power amplifier. In addition, the TCM4300 is designed to reduce system power
consumption through low-voltage operation and standby mode.
The TCM4300 is offered in the 100-pin PZ package and is characterized for free-air operation from
– 40°C to 85°C.

4 Principles of Operation
This section describes the operation of the TCM4300 in detail.
NOTE:
Timing diagrams and associated tables are contained in Section 3 of this data
manual.

4.1

Data Transfer

The interface to both the system digital signal processor and microcontroller is in the form of 2s complement.

4.2

Receive Section

The mode of operation is determined by the state of the MODE, FMVOX, IQRXEN, and FMRXEN bits of
the DStatCtrl register, as shown in Table 4–1.

In the digital mode (MODE=1), the receive section accepts RXIP, RXIN, RXQP, and RXQN analog inputs.
These inputs are passed to continuous-time antialiasing filters (AAF), baseband filtering, and A/D
conversion blocks, and then to sample registers where 10-bit registers can be read. The sample rate is
48.6 ksps.
In the analog mode (MODE = 0), the FMVOX bit of the DStatCtrl register enables or disables the Q side of
the receiver channel, and the FMRXEN bit controls the external functions. In the digital mode, IQRXEN
enables both the I and Q receive channels and external functions as well.
To save power, the receive I and Q channels are enabled separately. This operation occurs because in the
analog mode, only the Q channel is used. When the FMVOX bit is set to 1, it controls the input multiplexer,
connects the FM input to the receiver RXQP signal, and connects the RXQN signal to VHR. When the MODE
control bit and the IQRXEN control bit are set to 1, both sides of the receive channel are enabled for use
in the digital mode.
The input signals RXIP, RXIN and RXQP, RXQN are differential pair signals (see Table 4–2). Differential
signals are used to minimize the pickup of interference, ground, and supply noise, while maintaining a larger
signal level. In single-ended applications, the unused RXIN and RXQN terminals must be connected to VHR
or to an externally supplied bias voltage equal to the dc value of the input signal, and the input signal level
must be adjusted in the RF circuitry to provide the proper signal level so that the digital output codes are
properly calibrated (0.5 V peak-to-peak corresponds to full-scale digital output). In the analog mode, the
RXQN input is internally referenced to VHR. Alternatively, the unused inputs can be connected to VHR and
the used inputs can be capacitively coupled. Note that when the RX and FM inputs are capacitively coupled,
it is recommended that the input terminals be connected to VHR using a bias resistor.

It is recommended that the single-ended output of an external FM discriminator be capacitively coupled to
the FM terminal for analog mode voice and WBD reception. An external bias resistor is needed to bias the
FM terminal to VHR. The signal at this terminal is conveyed to the Q side of the receiver using the multiplexer,
and the other Q input is connected internally to the VHR reference voltage. The I input of the receive section
circuitry is disabled in the analog mode. The FM signal passes through the antialiasing filter, as specified
in Table 4–3, before passing through the A/D converter. The signal at the FM terminal is also routed directly
to the WBD demodulator through a low-pass filter (LPF) with the – 3 dB point at 270 kHz.

The VHR can provide a bias voltage for the received inputs when capacitively coupled from the RF section.
To meet noise requirements, the VHR output should have an external decoupling capacitor connected to
ground. The VHR output buffer is enabled by the OR of TXEN, FMVOX, and IQRXEN. The VHR output is
high impedance otherwise.
In the digital mode, both the I and Q receive sides are enabled. Table 4–4 lists the receive channel frequency

When the I and Q sample conversion is complete and the data is placed in the RXI and RXQ sample
registers, the SINT interrupt line is asserted to indicate the presence of that data. This occurs at 48.6-kHz
rate in the digital mode and at 40-kHz rate in the analog mode. In the analog mode, only the RXQ conversion
path is used, and the RXI path is powered down.

4.3

Transmit Section

The transmit section operates in two distinct modes, digital or analog. The mode of operation is determined
by the MODE bit of the DStatCtrl register. In the digital mode, data is input to the transmit section by writing
to the TXI register. The resulting output is a π /4 DQPSK-modulated time division multiplexed (TDM) burst.
In the analog mode, the data is in the form of direct I and Q samples which are written to both the TXI and
TXQ registers, then D/A converted, filtered, and output through TXIP, TXIN, TXQP, and TXQN. The I and
Q outputs are zero-IF FM signals; that is, no baseband connection is necessary for FM transmission.
In the digital mode (MODE = 1), the data is written to the TXI register using the SINT interrupt to synchronize
the data transfer. The TCM4300 performs parallel-to-serial conversion of the bits in the TXI register and
encodes the resulting bit stream as π /4 DQPSK data samples. These samples are then filtered by a digital
4–3

square-root raised-cosine (SQRC) shaping filter with a roll-off rate of α = 0.35 and converted to sampled
analog form by two 9-bit digital-to-analog converters (DACs). The output of the DAC is then filtered by a
continuous-time resistance-capacitance (RC) filter.
The TCM4300 generates a power amplifier (PA) control signal, PAEN, to enable the power supply for the
PA. The start and stop times of the TDM burst are controlled by writing to a single bit, TXGO, in the DSP
DStatCtrl register.
In the analog mode (MODE = 0), the DSP writes 8-bit I and Q samples into the TXI and TXQ data registers
at a 40-ksps rate. These writes are timed by the SINT interrupt signal. The samples are fed to a low-pass
filter before D / A conversion. In the transmit analog mode, PAEN is always set to 1.
The transmit section provides differential I and Q outputs (see Table 4-5) for both analog and digital modes.
The differential dc offset for the TXI and TXQ outputs can be independently adjusted using the transmit offset
registers.

Transmit Burst Operation (Digital Mode)

In the digital mode, the TCM4300 performs all encoding, signal processing, and power ramping for the burst.
Start and stop timing of the variable length bursts are set by means of the TXGO bit in the DStatCtrl
register. The SINT interrupt output interrupts the DSP at 48.6 kHz which is T/2 interval (T = 1 symbol
period = 1/24.3 kHz). The burst is initiated by the DSP writing 1 to 5 dibits to the TXI register, a small
positive-delay offset value d to the base station (BST) register, and a 1 to the TXGO bit in the DStatCtrl
register.
The TXGO bit is sampled on the falling edge of SINT. The transmit outputs are held at zero differential
voltage (each output terminal is held at the voltage supplied to the VCM input terminal) for 9.5 SINT periods
(195.5 µs) plus BST offset delay after SINT has detected TXGO high; then the transmit outputs begin to ramp
to the initial π /4 DQPSK constellation value. The shape of the ramp is the transient resulting from the internal
SQRC filtering. At the same time that the transmit outputs are beginning to ramp, the PAEN digital output
goes high. This output can enable the power amplifier of a cellular radio transmitter. The TCM4300 transmit
outputs reach the first π /4 DQPSK constellation value (maximum effect point, MEP) 6 SINT periods (3
symbol periods) after the start of the ramp.
The bit stream to be encoded as π /4 DQPSK symbols is generated by right shifts on each SINT of the TXI
register with bit 0 (LSB) used first.
Previously written data continues to propagate through the TCM4300 internal filters until the last π /4 DQPSK
constellation value (last MEP) occurs at the transmit outputs 15.5 SINT periods (318.9 µs) plus BST offset
4–5

delay after the last symbol occurs (2 SINT periods before TXGO goes low); then the transmit outputs decay
to zero differential voltage (each output at the voltage supplied to the VCM input terminal). The shape of the
decay is the transient resulting from the internal SQRC filtering. The transmit outputs are held at zero
differential voltage 6 SINT periods (3 symbol periods) after the start of the decay. At this time the PAEN digital
output is set low (see Figure 4–1 and Figure 4–2).
Nonzero values of the BST offset register increase the delays of both the transmit waveforms and PAEN
relative to the edges of TXGO after it is internally sampled by SINT. The delays are increased in increments
of 1/4 SINT (1/8 symbol period).
For delays of 1 SINT or greater, the fractional part of the delay can be achieved using the BST offset register
with the remaining integer SINT delay implemented externally by delaying the writing to TXGO and TXI.
The relative timing of PAEN and the transmit waveforms is not affected by the BST offset register.
The IS-54 standard describes shortened bursts and normal bursts. The two types differ in duration and
number of transmitted bursts, burst length being determined by the TXGO bit.

4.5

Transmit I And Q Output Level

In the digital mode, the output level at TXI and TXQ is controlled by the TCM4300. During the burst, but not
including ramp-up or ramp-down periods, the average output level (I2 + Q2)1/2 should approximate the
specified value. There is no variable level control for TXI and TXQ within the TCM4300 other than the fixed
ramping. In the analog mode, the output of the TCM4300 depends only on the sample values written to the
TXI and TXQ registers.
There are small differences in the average output power levels between the digital and the analog modes.
These differences require compensation at the system level by a small attenuation in the sample values of
the analog output.
When a change in transmit power is necessary, the microcontroller can change the value sent to the
PWRCONT DAC, the output of which can be connected to a voltage-controlled attenuator in the transmit
path of the RF section.

4.6

Wide-Band Data Demodulator

The wide-band data demodulator (WBDD) module demodulates the FM signal and outputs a
Manchester-decoded data stream. The WBDD is used for receiving the analog control channels of the
forward control channel (FOCC) and the forward voice channel (FVC). The bit error rate (BER) performance
requirements are listed in Table 4–8.

WBD_LCKD: This bit reduces the effects of signal dropouts due to fading. In the Manchester-coded signal,
there are two types of data edges. One type occurs at the midpoint of each data bit, and the other occurs
randomly, depending on the transmitted data sequence. Inside the WBDD, an edge detector rapidly
synchronizes itself to the midpoint edges when the WBD_LCKD bit clears to 0. However, when a signal
dropout occurs, the edge detector may momentarily lock to the wrong edge because it cannot distinguish
the midpoint edges from the data edges. A small number of additional bits may be lost in this instance.
When the WBD_LCKD bit is set to 1, the edge detector uses the WBDD internal phase lock loop (PLL) output
to distinguish the correct edge. Once acquisition of data has occurred, when this bit is set to 1, the loss of
bits due to signal dropouts is restricted to the fade duration only.
When the WBDD PLL is not synchronized, as at power up, the WBD_LCKD bit must be cleared to 0 to allow
edge synchronization to the data.
WBD_BW: The variable bandwidth is required for fast acquisition in the beginning using a wide bandwidth
for the PLL, and a narrower bandwidth is used afterwards to reduce the likelihood of noise causing loss of
synchronization.
The WBDCtrl register is accessible by both the DSP and the microcontroller.

4.7

Wide-band Data Interrupts

The WBDD operates whenever WBD_ON is high, and it does not require the receive channels to be
enabled. While WBD_ON is high, every 800 µs, 8 bits are placed in the WBD register, which is accessible
by both the DSP and the microcontroller ports. This value should be written at the same time as WBD_ON
is initially set high.
4–8

At the same time, the interrupts DWBDINT and MWBDFINT are asserted. The interrupt rate is 800 µs
(8 bits/10 kHz). These interrupts are individually cleared when the WBD register is read by the
corresponding processor. They can also be cleared by their respective processor by writing a 1 to the
corresponding clear WBD bit.
There is one WBD control register. It can be written to by either processor port.

4.8

Wide-band Data Demodulator General Information

The WBDD recovers the transmitter clock from the data stream, which is Manchester encoded, and decodes
the data bits. Consideration at the system level is required to ensure data integrity.
The WBD stream carries with it a 10-kHz clock. The Manchester-coded data format contains a transition
at the middle of every bit-clock period, which aids in clock recovery. The polarity of the transition is
data-dependent. In a typical Manchester-coded WBD stream, a positive voltage for the first half of the data
sequence bit time followed by a negative voltage for the second half of the data sequence bit time represents
the value 0 in the data sequence. Likewise, a negative voltage followed by a transition to a positive voltage
represents the value 1 in the data sequence. This is illustrated in Figure 4–3. The WBD stream can also be
seen as the exclusive-OR of the clock and data sequence. The data sequence is in nonreturn to zero (NRZ)
format.

Auxiliary DACs, LCD Contrast Converter

Auxiliary DACs generate AFC, AGC and power control signals for the RF system. These three D/A
converters are updated when the corresponding data is received from the DSP. In fewer than 5 µs after the
corresponding registers are written to, the output has settled to within 1 LSB of its new value (see
Table 4–10).

The LCDCONTR output is used by the microcontroller to adjust the contrast of the liquid-crystal display
(LCD). This converter is a separate 4-bit DAC.
The auxiliary DACs can be powered down. The AGC and AFC DACs have dedicated bits in the MIntCtrl
register to enable the DACs. The PWRCONT DAC is enabled by the TXEN bit in the DStatCtrl register. The
LCDCONTR DAC is enabled when the LCDEN bit of the LCD D/A register clears to 0, the four data bits being
left justified. The AFC, AGC, and PWRCONT DACs are disabled after powerup or after a reset of the
TCM4300. After power up or reset, the default AUXFS[1:0] is 00. When the DACs are powered down, their
output terminals go to a high-impedance state and can tolerate any voltage present on the terminal that falls
within the supply range.

4.10 RSSI, Battery Monitor
The received signal strength indicator (RSSI) and battery (BAT) strength monitor share a common register.
The input source is determined by writing any value to the mapped register location for that analog-to-digital
converter (ADC) (see Table 4–13), and the result of the conversion is stored in both register locations. The
conversion process is initiated when the register is written to. The CVRDY bit in the MStatCtrl register is set
to 1 to show completion of the conversion process. Reading from either of the register locations causes the
CVRDY bit to change to 0. The RSSI allows the mobile unit to choose the proper control channels and to
report signal levels to the base stations.
When the CVRDY bit in the MStatCtrl register goes to 1, this indicates that the latest RSSI or battery voltage
A/D conversion has been completed and can be read from the RSSI or BAT register location. CVRDY clears
to 0 when the microcontroller reads either of these locations.

In order to save power, the entire RSSI/battery converter circuit is powered down when no A/D conversions
are requested for 40 µs. The microcontroller writes to RSSI or BAT registers, causing power to be applied
to the converter circuit. Power is applied to the converter circuit until the data value has been latched into
the corresponding register, at which time power to the converter is removed. Data remains in the result
registers after the converter is powered down.

4.11 Timing And Clock Generation
The digital timing generation system uses a 38.88-MHz master clock as shown in Figure 4–4. The upper
waveform shows the clock generation for clocks that must be phase adjusted in order to synchronize the
mobile unit with the received symbol stream in the digital mode. In the analog mode, these clocks operate
without phase adjustments. The bottom waveform of Figure 4–4 shows the clocks that are directly derived
from the master clock.
4–11

Codec Master Clock 2.048 MHz

Codec Sample Clock 8 kHz
CSCLK

Figure 4–4. Codec Master and Sample Clock Timing

4.11.1

Clock Generation

There are three options for generating the master clock. A fundamental crystal or a third-overtone crystal
with a frequency of 38.88 MHz can be connected between the MCLKIN and the XTAL terminals or an
external clock source can be connected directly to the MCLKIN terminal. The MCLKOUT is a buffered
master clock output at the same frequency as MCLKIN. MCLKOUT can be used as the source clock for other
devices in the system. Setting the MCLKEN bit in the MStatCtrl register enables or disables this output. The
MCLKOUT enable is synchronous with MCLKIN to eliminate abnormal cycles of the clock output.
All output clocks are derived from the master clock (MCLKIN). The sample clocks for the digital and analog
modes, the 8-kHz speech codec sample clock, and the clocks for the A/D and D/A functions are also derived
from the master clock.

4.11.2

Speech-Codec Clock Generation

The TCM4300 generates two clock outputs for use with speech codecs: the 2.048-MHz CMCLK and the
8-kHz CSCLK. These clocks are generated so that each CSCLK period contains exactly 256 cycles of
CMCLK. Since 2.048 MHz is not an integer division of the 38.88-MHz MCLKIN, one out of every 64 CMCLK
cycles is 18 MCLKIN periods long, and the remaining 63 out of 64 are 19 MCLKIN periods long. The average
frequency of MCLKIN is therefore

63

Ǔ+

) 181

64

2.048092 MHz

CSCLK is exactly CMCLK divided by 256 (see Figure 4–4).
To save power, the codec clocks are only generated by TCM4300 when the SCEN bit of the DStatCtrl
register is set high. When SCEN is low, both outputs, CSCLK and CMCLK, are held low. SCEN is also
available as an output.

4.11.3

Microcontroller Clock

A variable modulus divider provides a selection of frequencies for use as a microcontroller clock. The master
clock is divided by an integer from 32 to 2, giving a wide range of frequencies available to the microcontroller
(1.215 MHz to 19.88 MHz). The modulus can be changed by writing to the microcontroller clock register.
The output duty cycle is within the requirements of most microcontrollers, that is, from 40% to 60%. At
power-on reset, the clock divider defaults to 1.215 MHz.

4.11.4

Sample Interrupt SINT

The SINT interrupt signal is the primary timing signal for the TCM4300 interface. The primary function of
the SINT is to indicate the ready condition to receive or transmit data. It also conveys timing marks to allow
for the synchronization of system DSP functions. In the digital mode, SINT is used in conjunction with the
received sync word to track cellular system timing. The SINT can be disabled by writing a 1 to the SDIS bit
of the DIntCtrl register. When enabled, the SINT operates continuously at 48.6 kHz in the digital mode and
at 40 kHz in the analog mode. The SINT signal does not require an interrupt acknowledge. The SINT is active
low for 5.5 MCLK cycles (141.5 ns) in the analog mode and 6.5 MCLK cycles (167.2 ns) in the digital mode.

4–12

4.11.5

Phase-Adjustment Strategy

For an IS-54 system in the digital mode, receiver sample timing must be phase adjusted to synchronize the
A/D conversions to optimum sampling points of the received symbols, and to synchronize the mobile unit
timing to the base station timing. This is done by temporarily increasing or decreasing the periods of the
clocks to be adjusted. To avoid undesirable transients, each cycle of the clock being adjusted is altered by
only one period of MCLKIN. A total adjustment equivalent to multiple MCLKIN periods is accomplished by
altering multiple cycles of the clock being adjusted. The number of cycles altered is controlled by internal
counters.
In the TCM4300 there are two clocks which must be adjusted: CMCLK and an internal 9.72-MHz clock from
which SINT is derived. Each of these clocks has an associated counter that counts the number of cycles
that have been lengthened or shortened by one MCLKIN period each and thus detects when the total
adjustment is complete. These counters are shown in Figure 4–5 as Adjust Counter A and Adjust Counter B.
The magnitude of the 2s complement value written to the timing adjustment register determines the number
of cycles of the clocks to be lengthened or shortened by one MCLKIN period each to achieve the total desired
timing adjustment in units of MCLKIN periods. If a negative number is written, the clock periods are
lengthened for the duration of the timing adjustment, resulting in a timing delay. If a positive number is
written, the clock periods are shortened for the duration of the timing adjustment, resulting in a timing
advance.
The divider generates CMCLK normally divides MCLKIN by either 19 or 18. When the CMCLK period is
being lengthened during a timing adjustment, MCLKIN is divided by either 20 or 19. When the CMCLK period
is being shortened, MCLKIN is divided by either 18 or 17 (see subsection 4.11.2). The divider used to
generate a 9.72-MHz clock divides by 4 during normal operation, by 5 when its period is being lengthened
during timing adjustments, and by 3 when its period is being shortened during timing adjustments.
Because CMCLK and the 9.72-MHz internal clock have different periods, and the timing adjustments are
limited to one period of MCLKIN per period of the clock, these clocks take different times to complete the
entire timing adjustment. Because the total adjustment is the same number of MCLKIN periods for both
clocks, the relative phases of the two clocks are the same after the adjustment as they were before.
Both adjust counters reach zero when the adjustment is complete, so there is no need to write to the timing
adjustment register until another timing adjustment is required. For each write to the timing adjustment
register, a single timing adjustment of the direction and magnitude requested is performed.
The output of each adjustment counter is fed to a variable modulus divider. For counter A, there are three
possible moduli, 3, 4, and 5. For counter B there are four possible moduli, 17, 18, 19, and 20.

4.12 Frequency Synthesizer Interface
The synthesizer interface provides a means of programming three synthesizers. The synthesizer-side
outputs are a data line, a clock line, and three latch enable lines that separately strobe data into each
synthesizer. The control inputs are registers mapped into the microcontroller address space. The status of
the interface can be monitored to determine when the programming operation has been completed.
The synthesizer interface is designed to be general purpose. Most of the currently available synthesizers
can be accommodated by programming the interface according to the required synthesizer data and logic
level formats.
The output of the synthesizer interface consists of five signals. SYNCLK is the common data clock for all
attached synthesizer chips. The clock rate is MCLK /128 (≈ 304 kHz). The clock pulse has a 50% duty factor.
The serial data output SYNDTA is common to all synthesizers. Three strobe signals, SYNLE0, SYNLE1,
and SYNLE2, are provided. There is one for each synthesizer chip. The attributes of this interface are
controlled by means of the synthesizer control registers, SynCtrl0, SynCtrl1, and SynCtrl2. These attributes
determine:
•

The polarity of the clock (rising or falling edge)

•

Whether data is shifted left or right

•

The number of bits sent to the synthesizer

•

The timing and polarity of the latch enable bits

•

The selection of which synthesizer to program

Programming of the synthesizers is accomplished by writing to four microcontroller-mapped data registers.
These registers are chained to form a 32-bit data shift register that can be operated in either shift left or shift
right mode. This register set can accommodate various formats of synthesizer control data. When fewer
than 32 bits of data are to be transmitted, the significant data bits must be justified such that the first bit to
be transferred is either the LSB or the MSB of the register set, as defined by the control register for LSB or
MSB first operation. All 32 bits of the data register are transmitted each time (see Section 4.15 for register
location and Figure 4–6 for a representative block diagram of the frequency synthesizer interface).

NAME

DESCRIPTION

CLKPOL

This is a 1-bit field. When CLKPOL = 1, the SYNCLK signal is a positive-going, 50% duty cycle
pulse. CLKPOL = 0 reverses the polarity of SYNCLK.

NUMCLKS

This 5-bit field defines the total number of clock pulses that are to be produced on SYNCLK. The
value written into NUMCLKS is the desired number of output clock pulses, with one exception:
When 32 clock pulses are desired, all zeroes are written into NUMCLKS.

HIGHVAL

This 5-bit field defines when the strobe signal for the selected synthesizer is driven high. HIGHVAL
is the bit number at which the signal changes state. Bits being transferred on SYNDTA are
sequentially designated 0, 1, . . . 31, independent of any MSB/LSB selection.

LOWVAL

The value written into this 5-bit field affects the strobe signal for the selected synthesizer. LOWVAL
is the bit number at which the strobe signal is driven low. The first bit transferred out of the serial
interface is defined to occur at bit-time 0, independent of any MSB/LSB selection.

MSB/LSB FIRST

Writing a 0 to MSB/LSB FIRST causes the LSB (SynData0[0]) to be the first bit sent to SYNDTA
of the serial synthesizer interface. Writing a 1 to this bit programs the block for MSB first operation,
SynData3[7].

SEL[2:0]

This is a 3 bit field that selects which synthesizer strobe line is active. A 1 in any of the SELx bits
activates the corresponding latch enable.

In the status register MStatCtrl, two bits, SYNOL and SYNRDY, are dedicated to the synthesizers. The first
is an out-of-lock indicator that comes from the SYNOL input terminal. When the SYNOL input terminal is
connected to the OR of the out-of-lock signals from the external synthesizers, the lock condition of the
synthesizers can be monitored by reading the MStatCtrl register. A high on SYNOL also prevents the PAEN
output from being asserted and forces the TXI and TXQ outputs to zero. The SYNRDY bit, active high,
indicates when the synthesizer interface is idle and ready for programming. When SYNRDY is low, the
synthesizer interface is busy.
Controlling the synthesizer interface is straightforward. The microcontroller checks to see if the SYNRDY
bit is low. When it is low, the synthesizer interface is not ready. When SYNRDY goes high, the microcontroller
programs the desired information into the four registers. When the microcontroller write to the SynCtrl2
register is complete, the synthesizer interface sets the SYNRDY bit low and begins to send data, clock, and
latch enable according to the format established in the registers. SYNRDY returns high when the entire
operation is complete.

4–17

Up to 31 data bits plus a latch enable (SYNLE0,1,2) can be programmed in one programming cycle. When
data greater than or equal to 32 bits must be programmed, TI recommends using two or more programming
cycles with data in each cycle and a latch enable in the final programming cycle. Two or more programming
cycles are recommended because all programming cycles must contain at least one SYNCLK pulse,
whereas the latch enable can be suppressed in any programming cycle.
Figure 4–8 shows an example of the synthesizer output signals. In this case, an 18-bit pattern, 0x10664,
was chosen to write into synthesizer 1 with a positive-going latch enable pulse at the eighteenth bit. In order
to do so, the microcontroller writes the values 00h into SynData0, 00h into SynData1, 99h into SynData2,
41h into SynData3, 52h into SynCtrl0, 31h into SynCtrl1, and 32h into SynCtrl2.

4.13 Power Control Port
For systems requiring minimum system current consumption, power can be provided to each functional part
of the TCM4300 only when that function is required for proper system operation. To accomplish this, the
TCM4300 provides six external power control signals accessible through the DStatCtrl and MStatCtrl
registers. These signals can be used to minimize the on time of the functional units. These power control
signals are SCEN, FMRXEN, IQRXEN, TXEN, PAEN, and OUT1 (see Table 4–15). The polarity of each of
these signals is high enable, low disable.

Figure 4–9. Internal and External Power Control Logic
To allow for further system power savings, the TCM4300 receive I and Q channels are enabled separately
because only the Q side is used in analog mode. The FMVOX bit controls the Q-side input multiplexer. When
FMVOX is high, the QP side of the receiver is connected to the FM input terminal, the QN input is connected
to the VHR reference voltage, and the Q side of the receiver is powered up. The MODE bit controls the
Q-side filter characteristics for digital or analog mode. The IQRXEN bit enables both the I and Q receiver
sides. The bit IQRXEN can be set high while still in analog mode (FMVOX high or MODE low) to allow
sufficient power-up settling time for the external receiver I and Q circuits.
Setting the MODE bit low connects RXQP to the FM input and RXQN to VHR.
In the digital mode (MODE bit set high), setting IQRXEN high turns on both sides of the receiver. The TXEN
enables the internal transmit functions. When the TXEN bit is set low, the PWRCONT output goes to a
high-impedance state and the PAEN output is set low. The TXEN signal can be used to power down most
of the external transmit circuits between transmit bursts.
4–19

In the analog mode, (MODE bit set low), PAEN is high whenever TXEN is active and SYNOL is low. The
SYNOL input can be used as an indication to the TCM4300 that the external synthesizers are out of lock.
The PAEN signal is gated by SYNOL to prevent off-channel transmissions.
The TXEN, IQRXEN, FMVOX, and MODE signals are generated by sampling the corresponding bits of the
DStatCtrl register with the internal SINT. The effect of a write to the DStatCtrl register on these signals does
not appear until the next SINT after the write.

4.14 Microcontroller-DSP Communications
The microcontroller and the DSP communicate by means of two separate 32-byte first-in first-out (FIFO)
buffers. Figure 4–10 illustrates this scheme. The microcontroller writes to FIFO A, but data read from the
same address comes from FIFO B. On the DSP side, the situation is reversed.

Figure 4–10. Microcontroller-DSP Data Buffers
To send data to the DSP, the microcontroller writes data to FIFO A. To indicate to the DSP that FIFO A is
ready to be read, the microcontroller writes a 1 to the Send-C bit of the microcontroller interrupt control
register MIntCtrl. When this happens, the DSP interrupt line CINT goes active, signaling to the DSP that data
is waiting. At the same time, the value that can be read from the Clear-C bit in the DIntCtrl register goes from
0 to 1, indicating that the interrupt is pending. When the DSP writes a 1 to the Clear-C bit, the CINT line
returns to the inactive state and the value that can be read from Clear-C is 0. The microcontroller cannot
deassert the CINT line.
The microcontroller-DSP communications interface is symmetric. Data sent from the DSP to the
microcontroller is handled as described above, with the roles of A and B FIFOs and C and D bits and
interrupts reversed. When the number of reads exceeds the number of writes from the other side, the values
read are undefined.

4.17 Microcontroller Status and Control Registers
MCClock: This location is used by the microcontroller to change the speed of its own clock. The division
modulus is equal to a binary coded value written into this register. Only bits [5:0] are significant. After reset,
MCClock is equal to MCLKIN/32. Division moduli 2 through 32 are valid (0-1 moduli are prohibited). The
clock speed change occurs after the write is complete.
MIntCtrl Bits [7:4]: The bit names in this field indicate the resulting action when the bit is set to 1. When these
bits are being read, a 1 indicates that the corresponding interrupt is pending. A 0 indicates that the interrupt
is clear. Writing a 0 into any bit location has no effect.
MIntCtrl Bits [3:1]: These bits enable power to the AGC and AFC DACs and their corresponding outputs as
shown below. FMRXEN can assert (set to 1) the FMRXEN external function. The reset value is 0 (off).

DIntCtrl, Clear and Send Bits: The bit names in the DIntCtrl register indicate the action to be taken when
a 1 is written to the respective bit. When these bits are being read, a 1 indicates that the corresponding
interrupt is pending. A 0 indicates that the interrupt is not pending. Writing a 0 to any bit has no effect. Writing
a 1 to the clear bits clears the corresponding interrupt, and the interrupt terminal returns to its inactive level.
Writing a 1 to the send bits causes the corresponding interrupt to go active.
DIntCtrl, SDIS: When a 1 is written to the SDIS bit, the SINT interrupt going to the DSP is disabled. The
disabling and re-enabling function is buffered to prevent the SINT signal from having shortened periods of
output active. The SDIS bit is active (1) upon reset.

4.23 Reset
A low on RSINL causes the TCM4300 internal registers to assume their reset values. The power-on reset
circuit also causes internal reset. However, the logic level at RSINL has no effect on reset outputs RSOUTH
and RSOUTL. The effects of resetting the TCM4300 are described in the following paragraphs.

4.23.1

Power-On Reset

The power-on reset (POR) is digitally implemented and provides a timed POR signal at RSOUTL and
RSOUTH. The POR pulse duration is equal to 388,800 cycles of MCLKIN (10 ms). There are two outputs
to provide a high reset and a low reset in order to accommodate the reset polarity requirements of any
external device. The TCM4300 internal registers are reset when the POR outputs are activated. See
Figure 4–12.

The microcontroller interface of the TCM4300 is a general purpose bus interface (see Table 4–24) which
ensures compatibility with a wide range of microcontrollers, including the Mitsubshi M37700 series and most
Intel and Motorola series. The interface consists of a pair of microcontroller type select inputs MTS1 and
MTS0, address and data buses, as well as several input and output control signals that are designed to
operate in a manner compatible with the microcontroller selected by the user. See Sections 3.2 to 3.11 for
Interface timing requirements.

The microcontroller interface of the TCM4300 is designed to allow direct connection to many
microcontrollers. Except for the interrupt terminals, it is designed to connect to microcontrollers in the same
manner as a memory device.
The internal chip select is asserted when MCCSH = 1 and MCCSL = 0.

4.24.1

Intel Microcontroller Mode Of Operation

When the microcontroller type select inputs MTS1 and MTS0 are both held low, the TCM4300 microcontroller interface is configured into Intel mode (see Table 4-25). In this mode, the interface uses separate
read and write control strobes and active-high interrupt signals. The processor RD and WR strobe signals
should be connected to the TCM4300 MCDS signal and MCRW signal, respectively. The multiplexed
address and data buses of the microcontroller must be demultiplexed by external hardware. Table 4–25 lists
the microcontroller interface connections for Intel mode.

When the microcontroller type select MTS1 and MTS0 inputs are held high and low, respectively, the

read/write control (R / W) signal, an active-low data strobe (MCDS) signal, and active-low interrupt request
signals. The processor E and R/(W) signals should be connected to the TCM4300 MCDS signal and the

Motorola Microcontroller Mode of Operation

When the microcontroller selects MTS0 = high and MTS1 = low, the TCM4300 microcontroller interface is
configured for 8-bit family (6800 family derivatives, e.g., 68HC11D3 and 68HC11G5) bus characteristics,
and when the microcontroller selects MTS0 = low and MTS1 = high, the microcontroller interface is
configured for 16-bit family (680 × 0 family derivatives, e.g., 68008 and 68302) characteristics. The Motorola
mode makes use of a single read/write control (R/ W) signal and active-low interrupt request signals. The
processor E (8-bit) or DS (16-bit) and (R/ W) control signals should be connected to the TCM4300 MCDS
signal and the MCRW signal, respectively. Table 4–27 illustrates the connections between the TCM4300
