NOTES:
1.With 4.0 MHz Crystal
2.Limit of Prescaler
3.Limit of Programmable Divider
For satellite tuner applications the circuit may be used with an external /4 prescaler and a reference divider ration of 1024 (R0 = 1, R1 = 0). In this way,
frequencies up to 4.0 GHz can be synthesized with 125 kHz resolution (4.0 MHz crystal).
The same result can be achieved with an external /32 prescaler when the internal prescaler is bypassed (P = 1).
The Reference Divider
The reference divider of the MC44864 is programmable
(Bits R0 and R1) for ratios of 2048, 1024, 512 and 256. This
feature makes the circuit versatile.

D/A SECTION
Basic Function
The D/A section has four separate chip addresses from
the PLL section. Three D–to–A converters that have a
resolution of 6 bits (5 bits plus sign) are on chip. The analog
output voltages are dc. The converters are buffered to the
analog outputs DA1, DA2 and DA3 by operational amplifiers
with an output voltage range that is equal to the tuning
voltage range (about 0 to 30 V). The operational amplifiers
are arranged such that a positive or negative offset can be
generated from the tuning voltage.
Data Format and Bus Protocols
The D–to–A information consists of the D/A chip address
(CA2) and four data bytes. The first two bits of the data bytes
are used as the function address. Thus the bytes C1, C2 and
C3 contain the address for the individual converter and the 6
bits to be converted. Bit D5 is the sign (log “1” for positive
offset, log “0” for negative offset) and the bits D0 to D4
determine the number of steps to be made as an offset from
the tuning voltage. The bits S0 and S1 in the data byte RA
define the step size (Vstep) and the range of the converters
(see Figures 8 and 9). The range is the same for all
converters.
After the chip address (CA2) is acknowledged, up to four
data bytes may be received by the IC. If more than four bytes
are received, the fifth and following bytes are ignored and the
last acknowledge pulse is sent after the fourth data byte. The
data transfer to the converters (signal DTC) is initiated each
time a complete data byte is received.
The following shows some examples of the permissible
bus protocols of the D–to–A section. The data bytes may be
sent to the IC in random order with up to four in one
sequence. The same converter may be loaded up to four
times as shown in example 6. Below are 6 examples of
permissible bus protocols.
