IN
A ferrite antenna is connected between IN and VCC. For high sensitivity, the Q factor of the antenna circuit should be as high as possible. Please note that a high Q factor requires temperature compensation of the resonant frequency in most cases. Specifications are valid for Q>30. An optimal signal-to-noise ratio will be achieved by a resonant resistance of 50 to 200 kW.
SB
A resistor RSB is connected between SB and GND. It controls the bandwidth of the crystal filters. It is recommended: RSB = 0 W for DCF 77.5 kHz, RSB = 10 kW for 60 kHz WWVB and RSB = open for JG2AS 40 kHz.

Q1A, Q1B
In order to achieve a high selectivity, a crystal is connected between the Pins Q1A and Q1B. It is used with the serial resonant frequency of the time-code transmitter (e.g., 60 kHz WWVB, 77.5 kHz DCF or 40 kHz JG2AS). The equivalent parallel capacitor of the filter crystal is internally compensated. The compensated value is about 0.7 pF. If full sensitivity and selectivity are not needed, the crystal filter can be substituted by a capacitor of 82 pF.
SL
AGC hold mode: SL high (VSL = VCC) sets normal function, SL low (VSL = 0) disconnects the rectifier and holds the voltage VINT at the integrator output and also the AGC amplifier gain.

INT
Integrator output: The voltage VINT is the control voltage for the AGC. The capacitor C2 between INT and DEC defines the time constant of the integrator. The current through the capacitor is the input signal of the decoder.
REC
Rectifier output and integrator input: The capacitor C1 between REC and INT is the lowpass filter of the rectifier and at the same time a damping element of the gain control.

Q2A, Q2B
According to Q1A/Q1B, a crystal is connected between the Pins Q2A and Q2B. It is used with the serial resonant frequency of the time-code transmitter (e.g., 60 kHz WWVB, 77.5 kHz DCF or 40 kHz JG2AS). The equivalent parallel capacitor of the filter crystal is internally compensated. The value of the compensation is about 0.7 pF. A sequence of the digitalized time-code signal can be analyzed by a special noise-suppressing algorithm in order to increase the sensitivity and the signal-to-noise ratio (more than 10 dB compared to conventional decoding). Details about the time-code format are described separately.

If PON is connected to GND, the receiver will be activated. The set-up time is typically 0.5 s after applying GND at this pin. If PON is connected to VCC, the receiver will switch to power-down mode.

CLK D0, D1, D2, D3
The outputs of the ADC consist of PNP-NPN push-pull stages and can be directly connected to a microcomputer. In order to avoid any interference of the output into the antenna circuit, we recommend terminating each digital output with a capacitor of 10 nF. The digitalized signal of the ADC is Gray coded (see table). It should be taken into account that in power-down mode (PON = high), D0, D1, D2 and D3 will be high. 4 (18) The input of the ADC is switched to the AGC voltage by the rising slope of the clock. When conversion time has passed (about 1.8 ms at 25C), the digitalized fieldstrength signal is stored in the output registers D0 to D3 as long as the clock is high and can be read by a microcomputer. The falling slope of the clock switches the input of the ADC to the time-code signal. In the meantime, the digitalized time-code signal is stored in the output registers D0 to D3 as long as the clock is low (see figure 14). Rev. A7, 06-Mar-01

Thus, the first step in designing the antenna circuit is to measure the bandwidth. Figure 17 shows an example for the test circuit. The RF signal is coupled into the bar antenna by inductive means, e.g., a wire loop. It can be measured by a simple oscilloscope using the 10:1 probe. The input capacitance of the probe, typically about 10 pF, should be taken into consideration. By varying the frequency of the signal generator, the resonant frequency can be determined.

In order to minimize interferences, we recommend a voltage swing of about 100 mV. A full supply-voltage swing is possible but reduces the sensitivity.

At the point where the voltage of the RF signal at the probe drops by 3 dB, the two frequencies can then be measured. The difference between these two frequencies is called the bandwidth BWA of the antenna circuit. As the value of the capacitor Cres in the antenna circuit is known, it is easy to compute the resonant resistance according to the following formula: R res +

Cres
Please note: The signals and voltages at the Pins REC, INT, FLA, FLB, Q1A, Q1B, Q2A and Q2B cannot be measured by standard measurement equipment due to very high internal impedances. For the same reason, the PCB should be protected against surface humidity.
where Rres is the resonant resistance, BWA is the measured bandwidth (in Hz) Cres is the value of the capacitor in the antenna circuit (in Farad). If high inductance values and low capacitor values are used, the additional parasitic capacitances of the coil (v20 pF) must be considered. The Q value of the capacitor should be no problem if a high Q type is used. The Q value of the coil differs more or less from the DC resistance of the wire. Skin effects can be observed but do not dominate. Therefore, it should not be a problem to achieve the recommended values of the resonant resistance. The use of thicker wire increases the Q value and accordingly reduces bandwidth. This is advantageous in order to improve reception in noisy areas. On the other hand, temperature compensation of the resonant frequency might become a problem if the bandwidth of the antenna circuit is low compared to the temperature variation of the resonant frequency. Of course, the Q value can also be reduced by a parallel resistor.
Design Hints for the Ferrite Antenna
The bar antenna is a very critical device of the complete clock receiver. Observing some basic RF design rules helps to avoid possible problems. The IC requires a resonant resistance of 50 kW to 200 kW. This can be achieved by a variation of the L/C-relation in the antenna circuit. It is not easy to measure such high resistances in the RF region. A more convenient way is to distinguish between the different bandwidths of the antenna circuit and to calculate the resonant resistance afterwards.

U4223B
Temperature compensation of the resonant frequency is a must if the clock is used at different temperatures. Please ask your supplier of bar antenna material and of capacitors for specified values of the temperature coefficient. Furthermore, some critical parasitics have to be considered. These are shortened loops (e.g., in the ground line of the PCB board) close to the antenna and undesired loops in the antenna circuit. Shortened loops decrease the Q value of the circuit. They have the same effect like conducting plates close to the antenna. To avoid undesired loops in the antenna circuit, it is recommended to mount the capacitor Cres as close as possible to the antenna coil or to use a twisted wire for the antenna-coil connection. This twisted line is also necessary to reduce feedback of noise from the microprocessor to the IC input. Long connection lines must be shielded. A final adjustment of the time-code receiver can be carried out by pushing the coil along the bar antenna. The maximum of the integrator output voltage VINT at Pin INT indicates the resonant point. But attention: The load current should not exceed 1 nA, that means an input resistance w 1 GW of the measuring device is required. Therefore, a special DVM or an isolation amplifier is necessary.

It is the policy of Atmel Germany GmbH to 1. Meet all present and future national and international statutory requirements. 2. Regularly and continuously improve the performance of our products, processes, distribution and operating systems with respect to their impact on the health and safety of our employees and the public, as well as their impact on the environment. It is particular concern to control or eliminate releases of those substances into the atmosphere which are known as ozone depleting substances (ODSs). The Montreal Protocol (1987) and its London Amendments (1990) intend to severely restrict the use of ODSs and forbid their use within the next ten years. Various national and international initiatives are pressing for an earlier ban on these substances. Atmel Germany GmbH has been able to use its policy of continuous improvements to eliminate the use of ODSs listed in the following documents. 1. Annex A, B and list of transitional substances of the Montreal Protocol and the London Amendments respectively 2. Class I and II ozone depleting substances in the Clean Air Act Amendments of 1990 by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) in the USA 3.
