CHAPTER 13 REMOTE-CONTROL TRANSMISSION FREQUENCY GENERATOR
13.1 Overview of Remote-control Transmission Frequency
Generator
The remote-control transmission frequency generator is a 6-bit binary counter that
offers a choice of four different internal count clocks, allowing the cycle and "H" width
of the output waveform to be set. This circuit can therefore be used as a 6-bit PPG
(programmable pulse generator). The output pin also serves as the buzzer output pin.
Remote-control Transmission Frequency Generation Functions
•
The remote-control transmission frequency generator generates the frequency to be used for
a remote controller and outputs it to the RCO pin.
•
The cycle and "H" width of the output waveform can be set independently.
•
The count clock can be selected from among four different internal clocks.
•
The frequency generator can generate a frequency between two and 2
clock cycle.
•
The output is shared with the buzzer output. Buzzer output takes priority over remote-control
transmission frequency output.
Table 13.1-1 lists the output cycle and variable "H" width ranges.

In case of selecting 0.5 t
width of the waveform output by the remote-control transmission frequency generator.
When the count clock cycle is set to 0.5 t
4.2 MHz, assuming:
Value compared for cycle = "011110
Value compared for "H" width = "001010
the "H" width and cycle of the output waveform is obtained as shown below.
