4 - 44-3 PLL CIRCUITS4-3-1 PLL CIRCUIT (MAIN UNIT)A PLL circuit provides stable oscillation of the transmit fre-quency and receive 1st LO frequency. The PLL circuit con-sists of the PLL IC, charge pump, loop filter and referenceoscillator and employs a pulse swallow counter.Oscillated signals from the VCO via the buffer amplifiers(Q19, Q18) are prescaled in the PLL IC (IC12, pin 11) basedon the divided ratio (N-data). The PLL IC detects the out-of-step phase using the reference frequency and outputs itfrom pin 6 (IC12). The output signal is passed through thecharge pump (Q30–Q33) and loop filters (R154/C181,R153/C179), and is then applied to the VCO circuit as thelock voltage.The accelerator switch (IC13) selects the effective loop filterto accelerate the PLL lock up speed.The lock voltage is also used for the receiver tunable band-pass filters to match the filter’s center frequency to thedesired receive frequency. The lock voltage is amplified atthe buffer amplifier (Q29) and is then applied to the band-pass filters (D7–D11, D514) as center frequency control sig-nal.4-3-2 VCO CIRCUIT (MAIN UNIT)The VCO circuit contains a separate Rx VCO (Q21, D19,D20) and Tx VCO (Q23, D21, D22, D46). The oscillated sig-nal is amplified at the buffer amplifiers (Q19, Q20) and isthen applied to the T/R switches (D17, D18). Then thereceive 1st LO (Rx) signal is applied to the 1st mixer (Q2) viathe LO amplifier (Q3) and the transmit (Tx) signal to the dri-ver (Q17).A portion of the signal from the buffer amplifier (Q19) is fedback to the PLL IC (IC12, pin 11) via the another bufferamplifier (Q18) as the comparison signal.Shift registerPrescalerPhasedetectorLoopfilterProgrammablecounterProgrammabledividerBufferBufferBuffer Q20Q18Q19171819PSTBIC12 (PLL IC)PCKPDAto transmitter circuitto 1st mixer circuitD17D18206 11X50112.6 MHzRx VCOQ21,D19, D20Tx VCOQ23,D21, D22, D46Chargepump• PLL CIRCUITLINEHVVCCCPU5V+5V+8VR8VT8VMT8VFVPP+18VDESCRIPTIONThe voltage from the external power connector.Same voltage as the HV line passed through thepower control circuit (Q12, Q14) controlled byPWON signal from the CPU (IC20, pin 77).Common 5 V converted from the HV line at the5V regulator circuit (IC17).
