GENERAL DESCRIPTION
SAB6456
SAB6456T
The SAB6456/SAB6456T is a prescaler for UHF/VHF tuners. It can be switched to divide-by-64 or divide-by-256 by the
mode-control (MC) pin. The circuit has an input frequency range of 70 MHz to 1 GHz, has high input sensitivity and good
harmonic suppression.

FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
The circuit comprises an input amplifier, a divider stage with selectable division ratio and an output stage.
The input amplifier is driven by a sinusoidal signal from the local oscillator of a television tuner. The inputs (C1, C2) are
differential and are biased internally to permit capacitive coupling. When driven asymmetrically the unused input should
be connected to ground via a capacitor.
The mode-control (MC) input to the divider stage is intended for static control of the division ratio, selection is made as
follows:
divide-by-64: MC pin open-circuit
divide-by-256: MC pin connected to ground
The divider stage may oscillate during no-signal conditions but this oscillation is suppressed when input signals are
received.
Two complementary signals (Q
H
, Q
L
) are provided by the output differential amplifier stage. The voltage-edges of the
output signals are slowed internally to reduce harmonics in the television intermediate frequency band.
