A3, 03-Dec-98 T4225B IN A ferrite antenna is connected between IN and VCC. For high sensitivity, the Q factor of the antenna circuit should be as high as possible. Please note that a high Q factor requires temperature compensation of the resonant frequency in most cases. We recommend a Q factor between 50 and 100. Specifications are valid for Q > 30. An optimal signal-to-noise ratio will be achieved by a resonant resistance of 50 to 200 kW. REC Rectifier output and integrator input: The capacitor C1 between REC and INT is the lowpass filter of the rectifier and at the same time a damping element of the gain control. 94 8374 VCC REC GND Figure 6. 94 8379 IN Figure 3. DEC Decoder input: Senses the current through the integration capacitor C2. The dynamic input resistance has a value of about 420 kW and is low compared to the impedance of C2. SB A resistor RSB is connected between SB and GND. It controls the bandwidth of the crystal filters. It is recommended: RSB = 0 W for DCF 77.5 kHz, RSB = 10 kW for 60 kHz WWVB and RSB = open for JG2AS 40 kHz. 94 8381 DEC SB GND Figure 7. GND Figure 4. 94 8376 Q1A, Q1B In order to achieve a high selectivity, a crystal is connected between the Pins Q1A and Q1B. It is used with the serial resonant frequency of the time-code transmitter (e.g., 60 kHz WWVB, 77.5 kHz DCF or 40 kHz JG2AS). The equivalent parallel capacitor of the filter crystal is internally compensated. The compensated value is about 0.7 pF. If full sensitivity and selectivity are not needed, the crystal filter can be substituted by a capacitor of 10 pF for DCF and WWVB and 22 pF for JG2AS. SL AGC hold mode: SL high (VSL = VCC) sets normal function, SL low (VSL = 0) disconnects the rectifier and holds the voltage VINT at the integrator output and also the AGC amplifier gain.

The capacitor C2 between INT and DEC defines the time constant of the integrator. The current through the capacitor is the input signal of the decoder. 94 8375 PON If PON is connected to GND, the receiver will be activated. The set-up time is typically 0.5 s after applying GND at this pin. If PON is connected to VCC, the receiver will switch to power-down mode. VCC INT PON GND Figure 9. Figure 12. 94 8373 FLA, FLB Lowpass filter: A capacitor C3 connected between FLA and FLB suppresses higher frequencies at the trigger circuit of the decoder. TCO The digitized serial signal of the time-code transmitter can be directly decoded by a microcomputer. Details about the time-code format of several transmitters are described separately. The output consists of a PNP-NPN push-pull-stage. It should be taken into account that in power-down mode (PON = high), TCO will be high. FLB FLB VCC PON 94 8377 TCO Figure 10. 94 8380 GND Figure 13. Q2A, Q2B According to Q1A/Q1B, a crystal is connected between the Pins Q2A and Q2B. It is used with the serial resonant frequency of the time-code transmitter (e.g., 60 kHz WWVB, 77.5 kHz DCF or 40 kHz JG2AS). The equivalent parallel capacitor of the filter crystal is internally compensated. The value of the compensation is about 0.7 pF. An additional improvement of the driving capability may be achieved by using a CMOS driver circuit or an NPN transistor with pull-up resistor connected to the collector (see figure 14). When using a CMOS driver, this circuit must be connected to VCC. VCC 10 kW Q2A Q2B GND Figure 11. 100 kW TCO Pin16 TCO 94 8395 e 94 8383 Figure 14. 4 (16) Rev. A3, 03-Dec-98 T4225B Please note: The signals and voltages at the Pins REC, INT, FLA, FLB, Q1A, Q1B, Q2A and Q2B cannot be measured by standard measurement equipment due to very high internal impedances. For the same reason, the PCB should be protected against surface humidity. If high inductance values and low capacitor values are used, the additional parasitic capacitances of the coil (v20 pF) must be considered. The Q value of the capacitor should be no problem if a high Q type is used. The Q value of the coil differs more or less from the DC resistance of the wire. Skin effects can be observed but do not dominate. Therefore, it should not be a problem to achieve the recommended values of the resonant resistance. The use of thicker wire increases the Q value and accordingly reduces bandwidth. This is advantageous in order to improve reception in noisy areas. On the other hand, temperature compensation of the resonant frequency might become a problem if the bandwidth of the antenna circuit is low compared to the temperature variation of the resonant frequency. Of course, the Q value can also be reduced by a parallel resistor. Temperature compensation of the resonant frequency is a must if the clock is used at different temperatures. Please ask your supplier of bar antenna material and of capacitors for specified values of the temperature coefficient. Furthermore, some critical parasitics have to be considered. These are shortened loops (e.g., in the ground line of the PCB board) close to the antenna and undesired loops in the antenna circuit. Shortened loops decrease the Q value of the circuit. They have the same effect like conducting plates close to the antenna. To avoid undesired loops in the antenna circuit, it is recommended to mount the capacitor Cres as close as possible to the antenna coil or to use a twisted wire for the antenna-coil connection. This twisted line is also necessary to reduce feedback of noise from the microprocessor to the IC input. Long connection lines must be shielded. A final adjustment of the time-code receiver can be carried out by pushing the coil along the bar antenna. The maximum of the integrator output voltage VINT at Pin INT indicates the resonant point. But attention: The load current should not exceed 1 nA, that means an input resistance 1 GW of the measuring device is required. Therefore, a special DVM or an isolation amplifier is necessary. Design Hints for the Ferrite Antenna The bar antenna is a very critical device of the complete clock receiver. Observing some basic RF design rules helps to avoid possible problems. The IC requires a resonant resistance of 50 kW to 200 kW. This can be achieved by a variation of the L/C-relation in the antenna circuit. It is not easy to measure such high resistances in the RF region. A more convenient way is to distinguish between the different bandwidths of the antenna circuit and to calculate the resonant resistance afterwards. Thus, the first step in designing the antenna circuit is to measure the bandwidth. Figure 16 shows an example for the test circuit. The RF signal is coupled into the bar antenna by inductive means, e.g., a wire loop. It can be measured by a simple oscilloscope using the 10:1 probe. The input capacitance of the probe, typically about 10 pF, should be taken into consideration. By varying the frequency of the signal generator, the resonant frequency can be determined. RF signal generator 77.5 kHz Scope 10 : 1 w10 MW wire loop Cres 94 7907 e Probe Figure 15. At the point where the voltage of the RF signal at the probe drops by 3 dB, the two frequencies can then be measured. The difference between these two frequencies is called the bandwidth BWA of the antenna circuit. As the value of the capacitor Cres in the antenna circuit is known, it is easy to compute the resonant resistance according to the following formula: 1 R res 2 p BW A Cres w + where Rres is the resonant resistance, BWA is the measured bandwidth (in Hz) Cres is the value of the capacitor in the antenna circuit (in Farad).
