The FM local oscillator consists of a transistor in
grounded collector configuration. The negative
resistance at the base of the transistor is generated by an
external capacitor connected between emitter FMOSCE
(Pin 5) and GNDRF (Pin 4) An other external capacitor
is connected between base FMOSCB (Pin 6) and emitter
FMOSCE (Pin 5) which increases the resistance at the
emitter and leads to a higher oscillator swing. The
negative resistance at FMOSCB is approximately 250
W
.
Therefore, the resonant LO tank resistance of
approximately 5 k
W
(depends on Q-factor of the coil) is
transformed to this magnitude via a capacitor.
OSCOUT

The FM pre-amplifier input FMIN (Pin 28) consists of a
transistor grounded base circuit (T
2
) which provides
excellent noise performance and large signal behavior. It
is recommended to connect a source impedance of 100
W
in order to achieve optimal performance. The dc current
through the amplifying transitor is reduced by the internal
AGC. This means in the case of large input signals, the
input ac current is bypassed via the wideband AGC
transistor T
1
. A capacitor is connected between FMAGC
(Pin 2) and GNDRF (Pin 4). It shortens the transistor base
to GNDRF and it also serves for smoothing of the AGC
voltage. A tuned RF circuit is connected between FMRF
(Pin 3) and VS (Pin 27). The amplified RF signal is fed
internally to the mixer input.

A resistor is connected between OSCOUT (Pin 8) and
VREF (Pin 14). It determines the amplitude of oscillator
voltage which is fed to the PLL circuit. The TEMIC PLL
familiy U428xBM is recommended because it offers high
signal to noise ratio and low current consumption.

The AM antenna coil is connected between AMIN (Pin 1)

operates correctly, a coil impedance of approximately 25
k
W
is necessary.

The ceramic resonator of the stereo decoder PLL circuit
is used as a stop signal detector for AM signals. For this
purpose, the parallel resonance frequency of the
resonator, which is unloaded about 456 kHz, is reduced
by an internal load capacitor down to 455 kHz. Therefore,
the AM IF must be 455 kHz. The internal loading
capacitor is defined by the current through AMSADJ
(Pin 9) to GND. An external resistor is connected
between AMSADJ (Pin 9) and GND. It allows the
alignment of the stop signal center frequency. The width
of the stop window is typicaly 800 Hz. If AM search-
mode is not activated, the pin is internally pulled to
ground.

The AM oscillator has to be loaded by an external tank
referred to VREF (Pin 14). If reduction of the oscillator
voltage is necessary, this may be achieved by a parallel
resistor.
The IF output (IFOUT Pin 10) of both the FM and the AM
mixer has to be loaded into external IF-tank circuits
refered to VREF (Pin 14). Q-factor of IF coils must not be
lower than 50.

The input impedance of the AM IF amplifier is 3.3 k
W
according to the required impedance of most ceramic
filters. The input refers to VREF (Pin 14).
The discriminator allows the connection of a ceramic
resonator or LC tank. A minimization of THD and
adjustment of center frequency versus temperature can
only be achieved by using a LC tank. This performs a
temperature independent stop signal.

The input impedance of the FM IF amplifier is 330

filters. The input referes to GND (Pin 16).
A capacitor is connected between AFSM (Pin 11) and
GND for smoothing of the FM-AF. This is necessary to
generate a modulation independent stop signal. (Because
the deviation of the FM signal (75 kHz) can be greater
than the stop signal window (25 kHz)). In the
AM-search-mode, the external capacitor smoothes the
demodulated AM-IF-signal.
