(see table 4 for examples.) for best results, a crystal oscillator design should drive the clock inverter input with signal levels of at least 40% of v dd , peak to peak. tuning fork crystals generally cannot meet this requirement. to obtain crystal oscillator design assistance, consult your crystal manufacturer. operation of this device without a xtal or clock input may cause device damage.

(positive refers to signal levels higher than v dd /2, and negative to levels lower than v dd /2.) external capacitors are used by these detectors, via the doc1 & doc2 pins, to form voltage hold or integrator circuits. these two levels are then used to establish the optimum dc level decision-thresholds for the clock and data extraction, depending upon the rx signal amplitude and any dc offset. 4.2.2 rx circuit control modes the operating characteristics of the rx level measurement and clock extraction circuits are controlled, as shown in table 6, by logic level inputs applied to the pllacq, hold rx , and rxdcacq pins to suit a particular application, or to cope with changing reception conditions, reference figure 5. in general, a data transmission will begin with a preamble, for example, 1100110011001100, to allow the receive modem to establish timing and level-lock as quickly as possible. after the rx carrier has been detected, and during the time that the preamble is expected, the rxdcacq and pllacq inputs should be switched from a logic 0 to a logic 1 so that the level measuring and clock extraction modes are operated and sequenced as shown. the hold rx input should normally be held at a logic 1 while data is being received, but may be driven to a logic 0 to freeze the level measuring clock extraction circuits during a fade. if a fade lasts for less than 200 bit periods, normal operation can be resumed by returning the hold rx input to a logic 1 at the end of the fade. for longer fades, it may be better to reset the level measuring circuits by placing the rxdcacq to a logic 1 for 10 to 20 bit periods. hold rx has no effect on the level measuring circuits while rxdcacq is at a logic 1, and has no effect on the pll while pllacq is at a logic 1. a logic 0 on hold rx does not disable the rx clock output, and the rx data extraction and s/n detector circuits will continue to operate. rx signal input rx carrier det (rssi) input rxdcacq rx level measure mode pllacq clock extraction cct mode fast peak detect 30 bits medium bandwidth narrow bandwidth averaging peak detect acquire clamp preamble data figure 5: rx mode control diagram
