I2C-bus crosstalk
The TSA5059A includes a loop amplifier that requires an
external NPN transistor. Care should be taken in the layout
of the application to ground the emitter of the NPN
transistor as close as possible to the ground of the VCO.
The best way to avoid any I2C-bus crosstalk in the
application (i.e. parasitic coupling between the I2C-bus
lines and the VCO coil) is to avoid the I2C-bus signal to
come in the RF part by using an I2C-bus gate that allows
only the messages for the PLL to go to the PLL and to
avoid unnecessary repeated sending. Such a gate is
integrated in most of the Philips digital demodulators.
