MN6155
PLL LSI with Built-In Prescaler
Overview
The MN6155 is a CMOS LSI for a phase-locked loop
(PLL) frequency synthesizer with serial data parameter
input.
It consists of a two-coefficient prescaler, variable
frequency divider, phase comparator, and charge pump.
It offers high-speed operation on a low power supply
voltage (1.0 to 1.4 V) and low power consumption (1.65
mW for V
DD
=1.1 V, F
IN
= R
IN
=90 MHz).
Other features include intermittent operation by the
power save (PS) control signal and high-speed pull-in that
rapidly corrects the phase differences occurring at the start
of operation.
It also offers two choices for the reference signal: self-
excited operation using the built-in inverter amplifier or
use of an external, separately excited oscillator.

Low-pass filter connection pin. Use a passive filter.
Ground
Power supply pin for built-in charge pump
Frequency divider input pin in comparator stage.
Shift register clock input pin.
The chip latches data at the rising edge of the CLK signal.
Shift register data input pin.
The final two bits in the data select the write latch:
"11" for R-latch; "01" for N-latch.

LE
PS
Load enable signal input pin.
This is the latch-write-enable signal. It is at "H" level for write.
Power save control signal input pin.
"H" level input starts the frequency divider and places the chip in operational
mode. "L" level input places the chip in standby mode, which saves power.
The chip switches the internal charge pump output to the H-z state and the loop
is opened.

LC
Reference frequency divider output signal.
Phase comparator input monitor.
Charge pump control signal output pin.
When frequency divider operation is stopped, this pin is at "L" level, the
internal charge pump output is in the high-impedance state, and the loop is opened.

RSL
Reference signal selection pin.
"H" level selects self-excited oscillator (X
IN
and X

).
"L" level selects external oscillator (R
IN
).
16

IN
External reference oscillation input pin.
This pin is attached to a pull-up resistor when the PS pin is at "L" level or the
RSL pin is at "H" level.

Notes

1.*1:
Preceding the input of the frequency dividing data for the comparating side, input test pattern consisting
of three "L" level bits to produce normal operation. Never use any other pattern.
2.
When the power is first applied, internal operation remains in an unstable state until data is written. To
eliminate the risk of excessive current consumption, keep the PS pin at "L" level.
3.
When the power is first applied, the data settings are indeterminate. Always write data to the chip before
4.
starting operation.
Enter the data to fill the entire latch:
Reference side: 19 bits (17 bits for the frequency divider setting and 2 for control bits)
Comparating side: 23 bits (3 bits for the test pattern, 18 bits for the frequency divider setting, and 2 for
control bits)
Drive the LE pin at "L" level while writing the data.
"H" level input from the LE pin causes the chip to read the data only when the CLK pin and the DATA pin
are both at "L" level.
Writes are possible when the PS pin is either "H" or "L" level.
Input the data MSB first.
The data are inputted at the rising edge of the CLK signal.
