CXA3179N
Application Notes
1) Power Supply
The CXA3179N, with built-in regulator, is designed to permit stable operation at a wide range of supply
voltage from 1.1 to 4.0 V. Decouple the wiring to V
CC
(Pin 4) as close to the pin as possible.
2) Oscillator Input
Oscillator input method
a) Using Pins 1 and 2, input a self-excited oscillation signal through the composition of a Colpitts type
crystal oscillator circuit.
b) Directly input a local oscillation signal to Pin 1.
3) Mixer
The mixer is of double-balance type. Pin 24 is the input pin. Input though a suitable matching circuit. The
input impedance is 2.0 k
.
Pin 3 serves as the output pin for the mixer, and a load resistance of 1.5 k
is incorporated.
4) IF Filter
The filter to be connected between this mixer output and the IF limiter amplifier input should have the
following specifications.
I/O impedance
: 1.5 k
10 %
Band width
: Changes according to applications.
5) IF Limiter Amplifier
The gain of this IF limiter amplifier is approximately 100 dB. Take notice of the following points in making
connection to the IF limiter amplifier input pin (Pin 5).
a) Wiring to the IF limiter amplifier input (Pin 5) should be as short as possible.
b) As the IF limiter amplifier output appears at QUAD (Pin 8), wiring to the ceramic discriminator
connected to QUAD should be as short as possible to reduce the interference with the mixer output and
IF limiter amplifier input.

6) Quick Charge
In order to hasten the Pin 7 rising time from when power is turned on, the CXA3179N features a quick
charge circuit. The capacitance value connected to Pin 7 should be chosen such that the voltage does not
vary much due to discharge during battery saving.
Connect a signal for controlling the quick charge circuit to Pin 18. Setting this pin high enables the quick
charge mode, and setting this pin low enables the steady-state reception mode. Quick charge is used
when the power supply is turned on. The battery saving must be set high at the time.
Connect Pin 18 to GND when quick charge is not being used.

CXA3179N
7) Detector
The detector is of quadrature type. To perform phase shift, connect a ceramic discriminator to Pin 8.
The phase shifting capacitor for the quadrature detector is incorporated. The FM (FSK) signal
demodulated with the detector will be output to AUDIO (Pin 16) through the internal LPF.
The AUDIO output is the anti-phase output to the NRZ OUT.
The CDBM455C50 (MURATA MFG. CO., LTD.) ceramic discriminator is recommended for the CXA3179N.
For the 2-level system, the CDBM455C28 can also be used.
Fig. 4
The detector output level is changed according to the resistance value connected to Pin 8.
8) Filter Buffer, Level Comparator and NRZ Comparator
The LPF circuit is built in this IC.
The LPF output is connected internally to the NRZ comparator, level comparator and quick charge circuit.
Fig. 5
Using the LPF, remove the noise from the demodulated signal and input the signal to the above three
circuits.

8) -2. Comparator Output
The level comparator and the NRZ comparator shape the waveform of this input signal and output it as a
square wave. The comparator output stage is for open collector.
Thus, if the CPU is of CMOS type and the supply voltage is different, a direct interface as illustrated in the
figure below can be implemented.

8) -3. Level Comparator Output
The level comparator characteristics are as shown in the figure below. Therefore, a high signal is output at
the bit border even if the input signal is a 4.8 kHz signal. This high output interval varies according to the
frequency response of the bit rate filter, and widens as the cut-off frequency becomes lower. The decoder
avoids this high interval when processing data.
9) REG CONT
Controls the base bias of the external transistors.
10) LVA OUT
This pin goes high (open) when the supply voltage becomes lower. Since the output is an open collector, it
can be used to directly drive the CMOS device. The setting voltage of the LVA is 1.05 V (typ.), and it
possesses a hysteresis with respect to the supply voltage. The hysteresis width is 50 mV (typ.).

12) M-ary (M=2- or 4-level) FSK Demodulation System
12)-1. Output Waveform
Polarity discrimination output and level comparator output are used to demodulate the 4-level waveform
shown below.
[4-level FSK demodulating waveform]
[NRZ OUT] Polarity discrimination output
(When the input frequency is higher than the local frequency)
[L.C. OUT] Level comparator output
The 4-level FSK demodulating data is divided into an NRZ OUT and L.C. OUT shown above. Here, the
NRZ OUT corresponds to a conventional NRZ comparator output. The L.C. OUT is made comparing the
demodulated waveform amplitude to the IC internal reference voltage levels. When the threshold value of
L.C. OUT is not appropriate to the detector output, the resistance value on Pin 8 should be varied for the
detector output level adjustment or the resistor should be inserted between Pin 6 and V
CC
for the level
comparator threshold value adjustment.
For the 2-level FSK demodulation, it corresponds to a conventional NRZ comparator output.

12)-2. 4-level Signal and Threshold Value
The demodulated signal is optimally matched to the NRZ comparator threshold value by applying AFC
(see 13) AFC). (operation point correction using a feedback loop filter)
The comparator threshold value is fixed.
The level comparator threshold value can be adjusted by varying the detector output level by changing the
damping resistance of the discriminator. (AC gain adjustment)
AC gain adjustment
12)-3. Offset Amount and Threshold Value
Immediately after power-on when the REF capacitor is not charged with the correction voltage, if the input
frequency has an offset, some time is required to correct this offset. In addition, the times required to
obtain 2-level and 4-level data differ according to the offset amount.
a) 2-level signals
In the case of 2-level signals, correct data is obtained when the offset amount is smaller than the detector
output amplitude. This is 75 mV or less when the detector output level is 150 mVp-p which corresponds to
within 4.8 kHz when converted to a frequency by the S curve. Thus, 2-level data is obtained without an
operation point correction time lag when the frequency offset is within 4.8 kHz.
b) 4-level signals
In the case of 4-level signals, correct data is obtained when the offset amount is less than 1/3 of the
detector output amplitude (during 4.8 kHz DEV). This is 25 mV or less when the detector output level is
150 mVp-p which corresponds to 1.6 kHz or less when converted to a frequency by the S curve. Thus, 4-
level data is obtained without an operation point correction time lag when the frequency offset is within
1.6 kHz
As shown above, 4-level signals have an allowable offset range 1/3 that of 2-level signals. When the offset
exceeds this allowable range, time is required to determine the operation point and obtain correct data
through feedback. Also, even if the offset is within the allowable range, the output pulse duty changes until
the offset is 0.

13) AFC
The AFC is of the current output type which outputs the frequency deviation in the form of the current and
converts it to the voltage. The output current range is approximately 0.4 A for the slow mode and 70
A for the fast mode. The circuit to be connected with this pin should have the higher impedance.
The operating range of the AFC pin is between approximately 0.1 V to (V
CC
0.2) V. Use the buffer
amplifier to expand the operating range.
The Pin 7 voltage V continues to change till the Vin value reaches the Vref value. When these values are
equal, the Pin 7 output current becomes "0" and the voltage is determined by the charge and time.
Therefore, the Pin 7 voltage is undefined.
The AFC voltage varies, for example, as shown below by the VCO characteristics. The AFC voltage
follows the VCO characteristics because this voltage is independent of the slope of the S curve. In other
words, the CXA3179N operates according to the VCO characteristics when the VCO characteristics have
the linearity with respect to the voltage and the VCO characteristics can be controlled within the range
shown in the graph below.

14) Sensitivity Adjustment Method
The constants shown in the Application Circuit are for the standard external parts. However, adjustment
may be necessary depending on the conditions of use, characteristics of external parts, and the RF system
circuit and decoder connected to the IF IC, etc. Adjust the sensitivity according to the following
procedures.
a) MIX IN matching
When using a matching circuit between the RF system circuit and MIX IN of the CXA3179N, adjust the
trimmer to obtain the optimal sensitivity while monitoring the AUDIO output.
b) Local input level
The mixer circuit gain is dependent on the local signal input level to OSC IN. The input level to OSC IN
should be set as high as possible within the range of 6 to +2 dBm as shown in the graph of "Local input
level vs. Mixer gain characteristics". However, care should be taken as raising the input level above +2
dBm will cause the sensitivity to drop.
When creating the local signal using the internal oscillator circuit, the oscillation level varies according to
the external capacitances attached to Pins 1 and 2 and the characteristics of the used crystal. Therefore,
be sure to adjust the external capacitance values attached to Pins 1 and 2 according to the crystal
characteristics.

and C
2
have the following range in the figure above.
C
1
C
2
C

= C
2
to C
1
=5C
2
As for the ratio of C
1
to C
2
, the oscillation stabilizes as C
1
approaches equality with C
2
.
The oscillation level decreases as the C
1
and C
2
values become larger, and increases as the C
1
and C
2
values become smaller.
Use a FET probe to confirm the local input level.
c) LPF constant
The data filter cut-off may need to be changed depending on the characteristics of the connected decoder.
Adjust the capacitance values of Pins 9 to 12 while checking the incoming sensitivity including the decoder.
If the capacitance values are too large, the detector output waveform will deviate at high data rates,
causing the sensitivity to drop. Conversely, if the capacitance values are too small, the LPF will be easily
affected by noise, causing the sensitivity to drop.
Adjust capacitance values of Pins 9 to 12 so that the capacitance value described in "8)-1. LPF Constant"
becomes smaller.

d) Detector output level
The NRZ comparator and level comparator threshold values are fixed for the CXA3179N. In the case of 4-
level signals, the relationship between the level comparator threshold value and the detector output level
affects the sensitivity. The detector output level can be adjusted by the resistance attached to Pin 8.
Increasing the resistance value also increases the output level, and vice versa.
The Pin 8 resistance value differs according to the ceramic discriminator attached to Pin 8. When the
discriminator is changed to a different type, the resistance value must be adjusted.
Adjust the resistance value while monitoring the level comparator output waveform or the sensitivity
including the decoder.
e) AFC
The CXA3179N uses AFC to correct the IF frequency deviation. When the IF frequency deviation amount
is large, correction takes time and may lower the sensitivity. Adjust the oscillator frequency of the local
oscillator so that the center frequency of the signal input to Pin 5 (IF IN) is as close to 455 kHz as possible.
