Function Description
(1)
Pseudo sine wave generator and 4-bit DA converters (sending block)
Pseudo sine wave signal with Fosc/16 frequency is driven out from pseudo sine wave output pin
(SOUT+ and SOUT−).
The outputs of pins SOUT+ and SOUT− have the opposite polarities.
The block of pseudo sine wave generator and 4-bit DA converter (the side of SOUT+ pin) are shown
below.

Thus, the pseudo sine waveform of positive-going and negative-going outputs is like a staircase at
no load.
An analog switch is incorporated so that the driver output buffer is connected to the transmission
line only when transmission is performed.
However, an emitter follower circuit is externally connected to the driver output buffer.
The phase difference between positive-going and negative-going outputs is within 180° ± 5°. (pseudo
sine wave output phase fluctuation)

Amplifier input circuit and signal detection/non-detection circuit (receiving block)
The modulation signal input block incorporates two level comparators having a high and a low
threshold values to detect the external sine wave signal with amplitude higher than the specified
threshold. Thus, it avoids signals with amplitude lower than the specified threshold (e.g., noise
signals) being detected erroneously.
The detection frequency range (frequency window) is determined by the divider ratio 1/18 to 1/14 of
Fosc.
In detection/non-detection determined condition, when the signals within the specified frequency
range are detected (or not detected) sequentially, signals are controlled using the majority rule. The
time which detection/non-detection is determined takes 9 to 15 waves to pass when one wave is
referenced to Fosc/16 frequency.

Function description and timing chart of the sending block
When modulation control input (
SCTL
) is in High-level, pseudo sine wave output is held at 0° of
the phase angle of pseudo sine wave. When modulation control input changes from High-level to
Low-level, the pseudo sine wave output (SOUT+) starts from
−90°
(SOUT− starts from +90°).
In this case, the time which takes to turn ON is as follows.
td (ON) < 500 ns
When modulation control input changes from Low-level to High-level, the phase angle is forcibly
held at 0°, regardless of the phase of the pseudo sine wave output. (the pseudo sine wave output is
stopped). In this case, the time which takes to turn OFF is as follows.
td (OFF) < 1 µs

Function description and timing chart of the receiving block
When it is ready to receive amplifier input signal, the time T (DET) which takes to change from
High to Low at
DOUT
pin is within the time which 9 to 15 waves to pass. In this case, one wave is
referenced to 16 Fosc clocks. The time width is determined by the internal clock and amplifier input
signal. The timings of the internal clock and internal detection signal in the majority logic circuit are
synchronous with each other. When input signals with the cycle, which is within the range specified
by the frequency window, are detected (or not detected) sequentially, this rule is valid (the majority
rule).

Note 1: Any communication protocol is used, however, it takes 15 carrier waves to pass when the signal changes its
