General Description
This fully integrated PLL transmitter allows particularly simple, low-cost RF miniature transmitters to be assembled. The
VCO is locked to 32 fXTAL hence a 13.56MHz crystal is needed for a 433.92MHz transmitter. All other PLL and VCO
peripheral elements are integrated.
The XTO is a series resonance oscillator so that only one capacitor together with a crystal connected in series to GND are
needed as external elements.
The crystal oscillator together with the PLL needs typically < 1 ms until the PLL is locked and the CLK output is stable. There
is a wait time of ≥ 1ms until the CLK is used for the microcontroller and the PA is switched on.
The power amplifier is an open-collector output delivering a current pulse which is nearly independent from the load
impedance. The delivered output power is hence controllable via the connected load impedance.
This output configuration enables a simple matching to any kind of antenna or to 50. A high power efficiency of
 = Pout/(IS,PA VS) of 36% for the power amplifier results when an optimized load impedance of ZLoad = (166 + j223) is used
at 3V supply voltage.
4.
Functional Description
If ENABLE = L and the PA_ENABLE = L, the circuit is in standby mode consuming only a very small amount of current so
that a lithium cell used as power supply can work for several years.
With ENABLE = H the XTO, PLL and the CLK driver are switched on. If PA_ENABLE remains L only the PLL and the XTO is
running and the CLK signal is delivered to the microcontroller. The VCO locks to 32 times the XTO frequency.
With ENABLE = H and PA_ENABLE = H the PLL, XTO, CLK driver and the power amplifier are on. With PA_ENABLE the
power amplifier can be switched on and off, which is used to perform the ASK modulation.
4.1
ASK Transmission
The Atmel® T5754C is activated by ENABLE = H. PA_ENABLE must remain L for t ≥1ms, then the CLK signal can be taken
to clock the microcontroller and the output power can be modulated by means of pin PA_ENABLE. After transmission
PA_ENABLE is switched to L and the microcontroller switches back to internal clocking. The Atmel T5754C is switched back
to standby mode with ENABLE = L.
4.2
FSK Transmission
The Atmel T5754C is activated by ENABLE = H. PA_ENABLE must remain L for t ≥1ms, then the CLK signal can be taken to
clock the microcontroller and the power amplifier is switched on with PA_ENABLE = H. The chip is then ready for FSK
modulation. The microcontroller starts to switch on and off the capacitor between the XTAL load capacitor and GND with an
open-drain output port, thus changing the reference frequency of the PLL. If the switch is closed, the output frequency is
lower than if the switch is open. After transmission PA_ENABLE is switched to L and the microcontroller switches back to
internal clocking. The Atmel T5754C is switched back to standby mode with ENABLE = L.
The accuracy of the frequency deviation with XTAL pulling method is about ±25% when the following tolerances are
considered.

an FSK deviation of ±21kHz typical with worst case tolerances of ±16.3kHz to ±28.8kHz results.

CLK Output
An output CLK signal is provided for a connected microcontroller, the delivered signal is CMOS compatible if the load
capacitance is lower than 10pF.
4.3.1
Clock Pulse Take-over
The clock of the crystal oscillator can be used for clocking the microcontroller. Atmel®’s ATARx9x has the special feature of
starting with an integrated RC-oscillator to switch on the T5754C with ENABLE = H, and after 1 ms to assume the clock
signal of the transmission IC, so that the message can be sent with crystal accuracy.
4.3.2
Output Matching and Power Setting
The output power is set by the load impedance of the antenna. The maximum output power is achieved with a load
impedance of ZLoad,opt = (166 + j223). There must be a low resistive path to VS to deliver the DC current.
The delivered current pulse of the power amplifier is 9 mA and the maximum output power is delivered to a resistive load of
465 if the 1.0pF output capacitance of the power amplifier is compensated by the load impedance.
An optimum load impedance of:
ZLoad = 465 || j/(2   1.0pF) = (166 + j223) thus results for the maximum output power of 7.5dBm.
The load impedance is defined as the impedance seen from the T5754C’s ANT1, ANT2 into the matching network. Do not
confuse this large signal load impedance with a small signal input impedance delivered as input characteristic of RF
amplifiers and measured from the application into the IC instead of from the IC into the application for a power amplifier.
Less output power is achieved by lowering the real parallel part of 465 where the parallel imaginary part should be kept
constant.
Output power measurement can be done with the circuit of Figure 4-2 on page 6. Note that the component values must be
changed to compensate the individual board parasitics until the Atmel T5754C has the right load impedance
ZLoad,opt = (166 + j223). Also the damping of the cable used to measure the output power must be calibrated out.

Application Circuit
For the supply-voltage blocking capacitor C3 a value of 68 nF/X7R is recommended (see Figure 4-3 on page 7 and Figure 44 on page 8). C1 and C2 are used to match the loop antenna to the power amplifier where C1 typically is 8.2pF/NP0 and C2 is
6pF/NP0 (10pF + 15pF in series); for C2 two capacitors in series should be used to achieve a better tolerance value and to
have the possibility to realize the ZLoad,opt by using standard valued capacitors.
C1 forms together with the pins of Atmel T5754C and the PCB board wires a series resonance loop that suppresses the 1st
harmonic, hence the position of C1 on the PCB is important. Normally the best suppression is achieved when C1 is placed as
close as possible to the pins ANT1 and ANT2.
The loop antenna should not exceed a width of 1.5mm, otherwise the Q-factor of the loop antenna is too high.
L1 ([50nH to 100nH) can be printed on PCB. C4 should be selected that the XTO runs on the load resonance frequency of
the crystal. Normally, a value of 12pF results for a 15pF load-capacitance crystal.
