Figure 5-3 UHF Synthesizer Block Diagram
A voltage of 5V applied to the super filter input (U4201 pin 30) supplies an output voltage of 4.5 
VDC(VSF) at pin 28. It supplies the VCO, VCO modulation bias circuit (via R4322) and the 
synthesizer charge pump resistor network (R4251, R4252). The synthesizer supply voltage is 
provided by the 5V regulator U4211.
In order to generate a high voltage to supply the phase detector (charge pump) output stage at 
pin 47 VCP (U4201-47), a voltage of 13 VDC is being generated by the positive voltage multiplier 
circuitry (D4201, C4202, C4203). This voltage multiplier is basically a diode capacitor network 
driven by two (1.05MHz) 180 degrees out of phase signals (U4201-14 and -15).
Output LOCK (U4201-4) provides information about the lock status of the synthesizer loop. A high 
level at this output indicates a stable loop. IC U4201 provides the 16.8 MHz reference frequency at 
pin 19.
The serial interface (SRL) is connected to the µP via the data line DATA (U4201-7), clock line 
CLK (U4201-8), and chip enable line CSX (U4201-9).
