U4224B rev. a4, 15-oct-98 3 (16) q1a, q1b in order to achieve a high selectivity, a crystal is con- nected 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 10 pf for dcf and wwvb and 22 pf for jg2as. q1a q1b 94 8382 gnd figure 5. rec rectifier output and integrator input: the capacitor c 1 between rec and int is the lowpass filter of the rectifier and at the same time a damping element of the gain control. rec gnd 94 8374 figure 6. dec decoder input: senses the current through the integration capacitor c 2 . the dynamic input resistance has a value of about 420 k and is low compared to the impedance of c 2 . dec gnd 94 8376 figure 7. sl agc hold mode: sl high (v sl = v cc ) sets normal function, sl low (v sl = 0) disconnects the rectifier and holds the voltage v int at the integrator output and also the agc amplifier gain. vcc sl 94 8378 figure 8. int integrator output: the voltage v int is the control voltage for the agc. the capacitor c 2 between int and dec defines the time constant of the integrator. the current through the capacitor is the input signal of the decoder. int gnd 94 8375 figure 9. fla, flb lowpass filter: a capacitor c 3 connected between fla and flb suppresses higher frequencies at the trigger circuit of the decoder. flb flb 94 8377 figure 10.
U4224B rev. a4, 15-oct-98 4 (16) 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 equi- valent parallel capacitor of the filter crystal is internally compensated. the value of the compensation is about 0.7 pf. q2a q2b 94 8383 gnd figure 11. pon 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. vcc pon 94 8373 figure 12. tco the digitized serial signal of the time-code transmitter can be directly decoded by a microcomputer. details about the time-code format of several transmitters are described separately. the output consists of a pnp-npn push-pull-stage. it should be taken into account that in power-down mode (pon = high), tco will be high. vcc tco gnd pon 94 8380 figure 13. an additional improvement of the driving capability may be achieved by using a cmos driver circuit or an npn transistor with pull-up resistor connected to the collector (see figure 14). when using a cmos driver, this circuit must be connected to vcc. 10 k vcc pin16 tco tco 94 8395 e 100 k figure 14. 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 inter- nal impedances. for the same reason, the pcb should be protected against surface humidity. 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 reso- nant resistance of 50 k to 200 k . 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 cal- culate the resonant resistance afterwards. thus, the first step in designing the antenna circuit is to measure the bandwidth. figure 16 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. scope rf signal generator 77.5 khz c res probe 10 : 1 wire loop 94 7907 e 10 m figure 15.
U4224B rev. a4, 15-oct-98 5 (16) 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 bw a of the antenna circuit. as the value of the capacitor c res in the antenna circuit is known, it is easy to compute the resonant resistance according to the following formula: r res 1 2 bw a c res where r res is the resonant resistance, bw a is the measured band- width (in hz), c res 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 ( 20 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 re- duced by a parallel resistor. 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 consid- ered. 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 con- ducting plates close to the antenna. to avoid undesired loops in the antenna circuit, it is recommended to mount the capacitor c res 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 v int at pin int indicates the resonant point. but attention: the load current should not exceed 1 na, that means an input resistance 1 g of the measuring device is required. therefore, a special dvm or an isolation amplifier is necessary. absolute maximum ratings parameters symbol value unit supply voltage v cc 5.25 v ambient temperature range t amb 25 to +75 c storage temperature range r stg 40 to +85 c junction temperature t j 125 c electrostatic handling ( mil standard 883 d ), except pins 5, 6, 13 and 14 v esd 2000 v thermal resistance parameters symbol value unit thermal resistance r thja 70 k/w
