6.  Function Description 
 
ET13X210/211   
27MHz  Receiver 
   
The ET13X210/211 single-chip solution is a CMOS technology integrated circuit intended for 
use as a low cost FSK receiver to establish a frequency-agile RF link. The device is designed 
to provide 10-channel receiver. 
n  Mixer and Limiter 
The  mixer-oscillator  (VCO)  combination  converts  the  input  frequency  (e.g.,  27MHz) 
down  to  455KHz,  where,  after  external  bandpass  filtering,  most  of  the  amplification  is 
done. The audio is recovered using a conventional quadrature FM detector. After suitable 
bandpass filtering (ceramic or LC), the signal goes to the input of limier amplifier at Pin 
8.The  output  of  the  limiter  at  Pin  11  drivers  a  multiplier,  both  internally  directly,  and 
externally through a quadrature coil or discriminator, to detector the FM. The other side 
of  the  limiter  stages  is  decoupled  at  Pin9  and  10.  The  limiter  IF  amplifier  typical  has 
about 75dB of gain. Decoupling capacitors should be placed close to the decoupling Pins 
9 and 10 to ensure low noise and stable operation. 
A simple inverting op amp is provided with an output at Pin 15 providing dc bias to the 
input at Pin 14, the positive input at Pin 17 for referenc e voltage set. The filter can be 
made with external impedance elements to discriminate between frequencies. 
n  VCO 
The circuit employed LC-tank structure to achieve low-phase noise characteristic where L 
is  an  off-chip  high-Q  inductor  and  C  is  provided  by  a  varactor  with  different  tuning 
ranges. 
n  PLL   
The PLL includes 64/65 prescaler, charge pump, PFD, NB A swallow counters, R-counter 
for  the  multi-channel  applications.  The  channels  selected  for  ET13X211  via mechanical 
switches  of  parallel  BCD  input  or  for  ET13x210  provided  here  can  be  easily  set  by  an 
input pin CHCLK which directly selects the addresses of the ROM table.

These input provide the BCD code for selecting the one of ten channels to be locked in 
both  transmit  and  receive  loop.  When  address  data  other  than  1  –  10  are  input,  the 
decoding  logic  defaults  to  channel  10.  The  frequency  assignments  with  D0  –  D3  are 
shown in Table A. The D0 – D3 inputs have internal pull up devices.
