9 Detailed Description
9.1 Overview
The LM567C is a general purpose tone decoder. The circuit consists of I and Q detectors driven by a voltage
controlled oscillator which determines the center frequency of the decoder. This device is designed to provide
a transistor switch to ground output when the input signal frequency matches the center frequency pass band.
Center frequency is set by an external timing circuit composed by a capacitor and a resistor. Bandwidth and
output delay are set by external capacitors.
9.2 Functional Block Diagram
where
•    R1 = Timing Resistor
•    C1 = Timing Capacitor
9.3.2 Output Filter
To eliminate undesired signals that could trigger the output stage, a post detection filter is featured in the
LM567C. This filter consists of an internal resistor (4.7K-Ω) and an external capacitor. Although typically external
capacitor value is not critical, it is recommended to be at least twice the value of the loop filter capacitor. If the
output filter capacitor value is too large, the turn-on and turn off-time of the output will present a delay until the
voltage across this capacitor reaches the threshold level.
9.3.3 Loop Filter
The phase locked loop (PLL) included in the LM567 has a pin for connecting the low pass loop filter capacitor.
The selection of the capacitor for the filter depends on the desired bandwidth. The device bandwidth selection
is different according to the input voltage level. Refer to the Operation With Vi < 200m – VRMS section and the
Operation With Vi > 200m – VRMS section for more information about the loop filter capacitor selection.
9.3.4 Logic Output
The LM567 is designed to provide a transistor switch to ground output when the input signal frequency matches
the center frequency pass band. The logic output is an open collector power transistor that requires an external
load resistor that is used to regulate the output current level.

12 Layout
12.1 Layout Guidelines
The VCC pin of the LM567 should be decoupled to ground plane as the device can work with high switching
speeds. The decoupling capacitor should be placed as close as possible to the device. Traces length for the
timing and external filter components should be kept at minimum in order to avoid any possible interference from
other close traces.
