Preliminary Technical Data
ADF7030-1
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The ADF7030-1 is a fully integrated, radio transceiver achieving
high performance at very low power. The ADF7030-1 is ideally
suited for applications that require long range, network
robustness, and long battery life. It is suitable for applications
that operate in the ISM, SRD, and licensed frequency bands at
169.4 MHz to 169.6 MHz, 426 MHz to 470 MHz, and 863 MHz
to 960 MHz. It provides extensive support for standards-based
protocols like IEEE802.15.4g while also providing flexibility to
support a wide range of proprietary protocols.
The highly configurable low intermediate frequency (IF)
receiver supports a large range of receiver channel bandwidths
from 3 kHz to 738 kHz. This range of receiver channel
bandwidths allows the ADF7030-1 to support ultranarrowband, narrow-band, and wideband channel spacing.
The ADF7030-1 features two independent PAs supporting
output power ranges of −20 dBm to +13 dBm and −20 dBm to
+17 dBm. The PAs support ultrafine adjustment of the power
with a step resolution of 0.1 dB. The PA output power is
exceptionally robust over temperature and voltage. The PAs
have an automatic power ramp control to limit spectral splatter
to meet regulatory standards.
The ADF7030-1 features an on-chip ARM® Cortex®-M0
processor that performs radio control, radio calibration, and
packet management. Cortex-M0 eases the processing burden of
the host processor because the ADF7030-1 integrates the lower
layers of a typical communication protocol stack. This internal
processor also permits the download and execution of Analog
Devices, Inc., provided firmware modules that can extend the
functionality of the ADF7030-1.
The ADF7030-1 has two packet modes: generic packet mode
and IEEE802.15.4g mode. In generic packet mode, the packet
format is highly flexible and fully programmable, thereby
ensuring its compatibility with proprietary packet formats. In
IEEE802.15.4g packet mode, the packet format conforms to the
IEEE802.15.4g standard. FEC, as per the IEEE802.15.4g
standard, is also supported.
The ADF7030-1 operates with a power supply range of 2.2 V to
3.6 V and has very low power consumption in both Tx and Rx
modes, enabling long lifetimes in battery-operated systems. An
ultralow power deep sleep mode achieves a typical current of 10
nA with the configuration memory retained.
The ADF7030-1 supports smart wake mode (SWM) where the
ADF7030-1 can wake up autonomously from sleep using an
internal real-time clock (RTC) without intervention from the
host processor. After wake-up, the ADF7030-1 operates
autonomously. This functionality allows carrier sense, packet
sniffing, and packet reception while the host processor is in
sleep, thereby reducing overall system current consumption.
The ADF7030-1 autonomous operation can also be triggered by
the host processor using the interrupt input of the ADF7030-1.
A complete wireless solution can be built using a small number
of external discrete components and a host processor (typically
a microcontroller). The host processor can configure the
ADF7030-1 using a simple command-based protocol over a
standard 4-wire SPI interface. A single-byte command
transitions the radio between states or performs a radio
function.
The ADF7030-1 is available in two package types: a 6 mm ×
6 mm 40-lead LFCSP and a 7 mm × 7 mm 48-lead LQFP. Both
package types use NiPdAu plating to mitigate against silver
migration in high humidity applications. The ADF7030-1
operating temperature range is −40°C to +85°C.
For Figure 13 to Figure 22 in the 169 MHz—Transmit section,
PA_COARSE is a programmable value that provides a coarse
adjustment of the PA output power. This value can be programmed in the range of 1 to 6 for PA1, and from 1 to 10 for
PA2. PA_FINE is a programmable value that provides a fine adjustment of the PA output power. This value can be programmed in
the range of 3 to 127 for both PA1 and PA2. PA_MICRO is a
programmable value that provides a microadjustment (typically
<0.1 dB) of the PA output power. This value can be programmed in
the range of 1 to 31 for both PA1 and PA2. PAOLDO_VOUT_
CON is a programmable value that configures the internal LDO
voltage that provides bias for the PA. For additional information
on these bit settings, see the ADF7030-1 Software Reference
Manual, which is the detailed programming guide for the device.

Preliminary Technical Data
ADF7030-1
EXTERNAL 26 MHz OSCILLATOR
The ADF7030-1 requires a 26 MHz reference clock. This reference can be a 26 MHz crystal oscillator operating in parallel mode and
connected between the HFXTALP and HFXTALN pins. Alternatively, a 26 MHz TCXO can be dc-coupled to the HFXTALN input. A
TCXO is typically used in narrow-band applications where the transmit and receive RF frequency must meet accuracies not supported by
a crystal oscillator.

ADF7030-1
Preliminary Technical Data
HOST INTERFACE
Status Byte
Physical Interface
The ADF7030-1 reports the status via a status byte. The
ADF7030-1 returns this byte on the SPI MISO in response to a
no operation command (NOP) (0xFF) on the SPI MOSI.
The ADF7030-1 provides a simple host interface (HIF) that
consists of a 4-wire standard SPI, a hardware reset pin (RST)
and GPIOs. The ADF7030-1 always acts as a slave to the host
processor. The host uses the SPI to read and write ADF7030-1
memory and registers, to issue commands, and track status of the
state machine, and to wake up the ADF7030-1 from
PHY_SLEEP.
Host Interface Protocol
The ADF7030-1 implements a very simple protocol over the SPI
interface. Using this protocol, the host processor can perform a
number of operations, as described in the Memory Access section,
the Radio Commands section, and the Status Byte section.
RECEIVER
The ADF7030-1 features a fully integrated, highly configurable
receiver that enables exceptionally high performance reception
of narrow-band and wideband 2FSK/2GFSK signals. The receiver
is based on a low IF architecture. Figure 84 shows a simplified
block diagram of the receiver.
RF Front End
The memory access commands allow the host processor to read
from and write to the internal memory of the ADF7030-1.
Typically, the host uses these commands to update the configuration of the ADF7030-1 and to write packets for transmission or
read received packets.
The receive signal is amplified by a differential LNA. The LNA
is followed by a quadrature downconversion mixer that converts
the RF signal to the IF frequency. The automatic gain control
(AGC) circuit automatically controls the gain of the RF front
end. The fully integrated, fractional N frequency synthesizer
generates the LO for the mixer. When the ADF7030-1 enters the
PHY_RX state, the bandwidth of the synthesizer is set
automatically to ensure optimum interference rejection
performance.

The quadrature IF signal is band-pass filtered using a high
performance, configurable analog filter. The filter is followed by
a programmable gain array (PGA) that is controlled by the
AGC circuit.
The ADF7030-1 features a narrow-band and wideband IF
processing path. In the narrow-band path, the IF signal is
digitized by a high performance, high dynamic range ADC.
RSSI, decimation, and offset correction are performed before
the digitized IF is filtered using a configurable narrow-band
digital channel filter.
In the wideband path, a limiter converts the IF signal to digital
levels for the demodulator. The limiter also provides offset
correction and RSSI, which is digitized using the ADC.

AFC
The ADF7030-1 features an internal real-time automatic
frequency control loop. In receive mode, the control loop
automatically monitors the frequency error during the packet
preamble sequence and adjusts the receiver synthesizer local
oscillator. AFC is supported without the need for any additional
preamble bits in the received packet.
Rev. PrE | Page 47 of 55
ADF7030-1
Preliminary Technical Data
Baseband Processing
The demodulator is based on a digital frequency correlator that
performs filtering and frequency discrimination of the 2FSK/
2GFSK spectrum. Following the demodulator is an oversampled
digital clock and data recovery (CDR) PLL that resynchronizes
the received bit stream to a local clock in all modulation modes.
A serializer/deserializer (SERDES) block processes the received
bit stream, carries out pattern matching, and produces the byte
sized data for the ARM Cortex-M0 processor.
The ARM Cortex-M0 processor performs all of the byte level
packet processing and packet management.
Received Signal Strength Indicator (RSSI)
The ADF7030-1 support accurate measurement of the received
signal strength. To achieve the calibrated absolute accuracy
specification, a one-point factory calibration is required (see the
Radio System Calibration section). The ADF7030-1 measures
the RSSI during packet reception and the value is stored in a
register for access by the host processor. The RSSI measurement
is also used during CCA, where the RSSI measurement is evaluated against a user set threshold. The RSSI is reported in dBm.
TRANSMITTER
The ADF7030-1 transmitter supports 2FSK/2GFSK, 4FSK/4GFSK,
and OOK modulation. It comprises a high performance PLL
synthesizer and power efficient dual PAs. A block diagram of the
ADF7030-1 transmitter architecture is shown in Figure 85. All
blocks are fully integrated.
Synthesizer and VCO
An integrated low noise PLL synthesizer and VCO generate
both the transmit signal and the receiver LO signal.
The synthesizer loop filter has a programmable bandwidth. On
entering the PHY_RX state, the ADF7030-1 sets a narrow bandwidth to ensure optimum receiver rejection. In the PHY_TX state,
the bandwidth is chosen to ensure optimum modulation quality.
A high speed, fully automatic calibration scheme ensures that
the VCO performance is maintained over temperature, supply
voltage, and process variations. The calibration is automatically
performed when the CMD_PHY_RX or CMD_PHY_TX
command is issued.
Power Amplifiers
The ADF7030-1 has two integrated power amplifiers. PA1 and
PA2 are designed for optimum power consumption performance
at 13 dBm and 17 dBm, respectively. The PAs cannot be operated
simultaneously. The user selects the appropriate PA for their
specific system. The power amplifiers are implemented as Class F
type amplifiers.
For systems where very fine power control is required, a PA
microsetting can be used to achieve 0.1 dB of resolution across
the power range. To reduce spectral splatter when the PA is
turning on and off, a programmable PA ramp is provided.
Transmit Modulation Schemes
The ADF7030-1 supports 2FSK/2GFSK and 4FSK/4GFSK
modulation in transmit mode. In 2FSK/2GFSK mode, a binary
zero value generates a frequency deviation tone, –fDEV. A binary
one generates a +fDEV tone. In 4FSK/4GFSK, the symbol mapping
is configurable.
OOK modulation is also supported in transmit mode at a data
rate of 16.384 kbps.
Transmit Filtering
The ADF7030-1 supports Gaussian filtering in both 2FSK and
4FSK mode. Gaussian filtering reduces the occupied bandwidth
of the signal by digitally prefiltering the transmit data. The BT
factors is configurable with the following options: 0.5, 0.4, 0.35,
or 0.3. Reducing BT increases the roll-off factor of the filter resulting in a narrower signal bandwidth. As BT is reduced, intersymbol
interference is introduced, which affects the receiver sensitivity
performance.

CALIBRATION
is present on the RF input of the ADF7030-1 during calibration,
this signal can degrade the calibration performance. The consequence of a degraded calibration is a reduction in the image
rejection performance of the receiver.
Table 28 provides an overview of the calibrations associated
with the ADF7030-1 and when to run calibrations.
Radio System Calibration
To ensure that the ADF7030-1 radio performance meets the
data sheet specifications, it is necessary to perform a one-time
radio system calibration at 25°C ± 10°C.
The radio system calibration routine is provided as a firmware
module, OffLineCalibrations.cfg, that the host processor must
download to the ADF7030-1 memory. The firmware module is
available as part of the ADF7030-1 design package. The calibration
is fully autonomous when initiated by the CMD_DO_CAL
command.
The radio system calibration firmware module can be downloaded
to the ADF7030-1 and run as part of a factory calibration procedure and the calibration data stored on the host processor as part of
the configuration settings for the ADF7030-1. Calibration data is
maintained in PHY_SLEEP if memory retention is enabled. If
the memory is not retained, the host processor must replay the
calibration data to the ADF7030-1. Refer to the ADF7030-1
Software Reference Manual for further details on downloading
and using firmware modules with the ADF7030-1.
In the Field Radio System Calibration
The only receiver performance metric, which benefits appreciably
from a recalibration over temperature, is the image rejection. In
applications where image rejection performance is critical over
temperature, it may be necessary to perform a recalibration as
the temperature changes.
If the application requires the calibration to be performed in the
field (in addition to the one-time factory calibration), it is
important to consider interferer signals during calibration, because
the calibration uses internally generated RF signals to perform
certain aspects of the receiver calibration. If an interferer signal

If the application uses an external switch, the switch can be used
to provide extra isolation between the antenna and the RF input
of the ADF7030-1 during calibration.
26 kHz RC Oscillator Calibration
To ensure that the 26 kHz RC oscillator meets the calibrated
frequency accuracy specification, it is necessary to perform a
calibration. During calibration, the OffLineCalibrations.cfg
firmware module must be downloaded to the ADF7030-1. The
calibration is fully autonomous when initiated by the CMD_LFRC_
CAL command.
Refer to the ADF7030-1 Software Reference Manual for further
details.
RSSI Offset Calibration
To ensure that the ADF7030-1 RSSI performance meets the
calibrated RSSI data sheet specifications, it is necessary to perform
a measurement of the ADF7030-1 RSSI measurement offset.
The offset can be measured as part of a factory calibration
procedure where an RF signal source applies a signal to the
receiver input while the ADF7030-1 is in the continuous CCA
state. The offset between the applied signal power and the
ADF7030-1 RSSI result is stored on the host processor as part of
the configuration settings for the ADF7030-1. The ADF7030-1
has allocated registers for the RSSI offset, and the ADF7030-1
automatically applies these offsets to the RSSI measurement
result returned over the SPI. Refer to the ADF7030-1 Software
Reference Manual for further details on the RSSI offset
calibration procedure and the RSSI offset registers.

PACKET HANDLING
Transmitting and Receiving packets
The ADF7030-1 includes comprehensive transmit and receive
packet management capabilities and can be configured for use
with a wide variety of packet-based radio protocols.
The ADF7030-1 can be programmed to transmit and receive
variable and fixed length payloads. The packet data to be
transmitted must be written by the host into the ADF7030-1
internal memory. 511 bytes of dedicated RAM are available to
store, transmit, and receive packets. For payload lengths greater
than 511 bytes, the ADF7030-1 provides a rolling buffer mode.
IEEE 802.15.4g Packet Mode
The ADF7030-1 supports the multirate frequency shift keying
(MR-FSK) PHY 802.15.4g specified packet format in the IEEE
802.15.4g-2012 standard with FEC, whitening and interleaving
at data rates of up to 150 kbps.
Generic Packet Mode
The ADF7030-1 supports a wide variety of packet formats via
its fully flexible generic packet format. In generic packet
transmit mode, the ADF7030-1 can be configured to add the
preamble, syncword, and CRC to the payload data stored in the
packet memory. The number of preamble bits and sync bits is
programmable, and an optional length field can be added to
allow packet length decoding at the receiver. The CRC
polynomial and length are fully programmable in generic
packet mode.
To transmit or receive a packet, the host processor must first
configure the ADF7030-1. Then, the host processor issues the
commands to place the ADF7030-1 into the PHY_RX state or
the PHY_TX state. After either state is entered, the ADF7030-1
automatically starts transmitting or receiving a packet.
In transmit mode, a preamble, sync word, and cyclic redundancy
check (CRC) can be added by the ADF7030-1 to the payload
data stored in the RAM. In receive mode, the ADF7030-1 can
qualify received packets based on preamble detection, sync
word detection, or CRC validation. On reception of a valid
packet, the received payload data is loaded to packet memory.
The host can track the progress of the transmission or reception
of a packet by monitoring the interrupt signals coming from the
ADF7030-1. There are two independent logical interrupts from
the ADF7030-1, and events can be configured to trigger one or
both of these logical interrupts.

FUNCTIONALITY ISSUES
Table 31. Short Transmit Pulse Preceding Packet preamble on OOK Transmit [er001]
Background
Issue
Workaround
Related
Issues
In OOK transmit, a preamble sequence with the length controlled by PREAMBLE_LEN in the GENERIC_PKT_FRAME_CFG0
register is transmitted at the start of a packet.
The first OOK transmit packet after a reset event or cold start has the correct preamble sequence. Subsequent OOK
transmit packets prepend a short transmit pulse with a duration of less than one bit, before the preamble sequence. The
output power of the pulse is at the configured output power.
None.
None.
Table 32. CCA After Aborting PHY_TX During Packet Transmission for Data Rates < 3.064 kbps [er002]
Background
Issue
The host processor can abort a transmission by issuing any radio command while the ADF7030-1 is in the PHY_TX state.
For data rates < 3.064 kbps, the first CCA operation is inoperative after aborting a transmission.
Workaround
After aborting a transmission, enter the CCA state twice. On the first CCA entry, CCA is inoperative. On the second and
subsequent entries to the CCA state, CCA is fully operational.
None.
