NJ8821 FREQUENCY SYNTHESISER
WITH RESETTABLE COUNTERS


The NJ8821 is a synthesiser circuit fabricated on the GPS CMOS process and is capable of achieving high sideband attenuation and low noise performance. It contains a reference oscillator, 11-bit programmable reference divider, digital and sample-and-holdcomparators, 10-bitprogrammable‘M’counter, 7-bit programmable ‘A’ counter and the necessary control and latch circuitry for accepting and latching the input data. Data is presented as eight 4-bit words under external control from a suitable microprocessor..
It is intended to be used in conjunction with a two-modulus prescaler such as the SP8710 series to produce a universal binary coded synthesiser.
The NJ8821 is available in Plastic DIL (DP) and Miniature Plastic DIL (MP) packages, both with operating temperature range of 230°C to 170°C. The NJ8821MA is available only in Ceramic DIL package with operating temperature range of 240°C to 185°C.

PinNameDescription
1PDAAnalog output from the sample and hold phase comparator for use as a ‘fine’ error signal.
Output at (VDD 2VSS)/2 when the system is in lock.
Voltage increases as fv phase lead increases; voltage decreases as fr phase lead increases.
Output is linear over only a narrow phase window, determined by gain (programmed by RB).
2PDBThree-state output from the phase/frequency detector for use as a ‘coarse’ error signal.
fv > fr or fv leading: positive pulses with respect to the bias point VBIAS
fv r or fr leading: negative pulses with respect to the bias point VBIAS
fv = fr and phase error within PDA window: high impedance.
3LDAn open-drain lock detect output at low level when phase error is within PDA window (in lock); high impedance at all other times.
4FINThe input to the main counters, normally driven from a prescaler, which may be AC-coupled or, when a full logic swing is available, may be DC-coupled.
5VSSNegative supply (ground).
6VDDPositive supply.

OSCIN

OSCOUT
These pins form an on-chip reference oscillator when a series resonant crystal is connected across them. Capacitors of appropriate value are also required between each end of the crystal and ground to provide the necessary additional phase shift. An external reference signal may, alternatively, be applied to OSCIN. This may be a low-level signal, AC-coupled, or if a full logic swing is available it may be DC-coupled. The program range of the reference counter is 3 to 2047, with the division ratio being twice the programmed number.
9D0Data on these inputs is transferred to the internal data latches during the appropriate data read time slot. D0 is LSB.
10D1Data on these inputs is transferred to the internal data latches during the appropriate data read time slot.
11D2Data on these inputs is transferred to the internal data latches during the appropriate data read time slot.
12D3Data on these inputs is transferred to the internal data latches during the appropriate data read time slot. D3 is MSB.
13NCNo connection
14PEThis pin is used as a strobe for the data. A logic ‘1’ on this pin transfers data from the D0-D3 pins to the internal latch addressed by the data select (DS0-DS2) pins . A logic ‘0’ disables the data inputs.
15DS0Data select inputs for addressing the internal data latches
16DS1Data select inputs for addressing the internal data latches
17DS2Data select inputs for addressing the internal data latches
18MCModulus control output for controlling an external dual-modulus prescaler. MC will be low at the beginning of a count cycle and will remain low until the ‘A’ counter completes its cycle. MC then goes high and remains high until the ‘M’ counter completes its cycle, at which point both ‘A’ and ‘M’ counters are reset. This gives a total division ratio of MP+A, where P and P+1 represent the dual-modulus prescaler values. The program range of the ‘A’ counter is 0-127 and therefore can control prescalers with a division ratio up to and including divided by 128/129. The programming range of the ‘M’ counter is 8-1023 and, for correct operation, M>A or M=A. Where every possible channel is required, the minimum total division ratio should be P2 - 2P.
19RBAn external sample and hold phase comparator gain programming resistor should be connected between this pin and VSS.
20CHAn external hold capacitor should be connected between this pin and VSS
