Rx comparator. The ON Semiconductor LM285D 1.235 V
reference is recommended.
The level at which CD (Carrier Detect) becomes active is
determined by the DC voltage difference (CDREF - AREF).
Selecting a voltage difference of 80 mV will set the carrier
detect to a nominal 100 mV

Bias Current Resistor
The NCN5193 requires a bias current resistor R
BIAS
to be
connected between CBIAS and V
SS
. The bias current
controls the operating parameters of the internal operational
amplifiers and comparators and should be set to 10 mA.

The recommended bias current resistor is 120 KW when

Oscillator
The clock signal used by NCN5193 can either be
460.8 kHz, 921.6 kHz, 1.8432 MHz or 3.6864 MHz. This
can be provided by an external clock or a resonator or crystal
connected to the internal oscillator. This is selected by
connecting pin 27 to VDD (for external oscillator) or VSS
(for internal oscillator). The correct divider value must be
chosen so that the internal system clock is always 460.8 kHz.
This divider value can be set in the Clock Configuration
Register (CCR), bits 1−0. In the CCR, divider values can
also be chosen for the CLK1 and CLK2 outputs. These
values can be freely chosen and do not affect operation of the
HART transceiver.
Internal Oscillator Option
The oscillator cell will function with a 460.8 kHz,
921.6 kHz, 1.8432 MHz or 3.6864 MHz crystal or ceramic
resonator. A parallel resonant ceramic resonator can be
connected between XIN and XOUT. Figure 11 illustrates the
crystal option for clock generation using a 460.8 kHz (±1%
tolerance) parallel resonant crystal and two tuning
capacitors C
x
. The actual values of the capacitors may
depend on the recommendations of the manufacturer of the
resonator. Typically, capacitors in the range of 10 pF to
470 pF are used. Additionally, a resistor may be required
between XOUT and the crystal terminal, depending on
manufacturer recommendation.

External Clock Option
It may be desirable to use an external clock as shown in
Figure 12 rather than the internal oscillator. In addition, the
NCN5193 consumes less current when an external clock is
used. Minimum current consumption occurs with the clock
connected to XOUT and XIN connected to V
SS
.

Reset
The NCN5193 modem includes a Power on Reset block.
An external resistor division of the supply voltage is
required, and should be tied to pin VPOR. This pin is
attached to an internal comparator, and is compared to the
AREF voltage. When this comparator trips, the RESETB
pin will be pulled low and the IC will reset. After VPOR
returns to a valid level, the RESETB pin will be held low for
at least an additional 35 ms (may be longer depending on
clock frequency). The RESETB pin will also be pulled low
when a failure is detected by the watchdog timer. When the
microcontroller fails to provide a periodical kick signal,
either by a pulse on the kick pin or by an update to the
sigma−delta register (configurable in the GCR), the
watchdog will pull down the RESETB pin for 140 ms. A kick
signal should be provided to the IC at least every 53 ms. The
watchdog timer can also guard against system clock failures
if bit 2 of the GCR is set. In this case, the RESETB pin will
also be pulled low when the system clock frequency is
outside of 0.5x − 2x the nominal frequency (460.8 kHz).
