RC2211
PRODUCT SPECIFICATION
FSK Decoding with Carrier Detector
+V
S
The lock detector section of the RC2211 can be used as a
carrier detector option for FSK decoding. The recommended
circuit connection for this application is shown in Figure 3.
The open-collector lock detector output, pin 6, is shorted to
the data output (pin 7). Thus, the data output will be disabled
at ÒlowÓ state, until there is a carrier within the detection
band of the PLL, and the pin 6 output goes ÒhighÓ to enable
the data output.

Tone Detection
Normally z = 1/2 is optimum for most tone detector
applications, giving C = 0.25 C0.
Figure 4 shows the generalized circuit connection for tone
detection. The logic outputs, Q and Q at pins 5 and 6 are
normally at ÒhighÓ and ÒlowÓ logic states, respectively.
When a tone is present within the detection band of the PLL,
the logic state at these outputs becomes reversed to the
duration of the input tone. Each logic output can sink 5 mA
of load current.
