Overview
The IC is a low power consumption single chip FSK/ASK Transceiver for the frequency band
315MHz. The IC combines a very high level of integration and minimum external part count. The
device contains a low noise amplifier (LNA), a double balanced mixer, a fully integrated VCO, a PLL
synthesizer, a crystal oscillator with FSK modulator, a limiter with RSSI generator, an FSK
demodulator, a data filter, a data comparator (slicer), a positive and a negative data peak detector,
a highly efficient power amplifier and a complex digital timing and control unit with I2C/3-wire
microcontroller interface. Additionally there is a power down feature to save battery power.
The transmit section uses direct ASK modulation by switching the power amplifier, and crystal
oscillator detuning for FSK modulation. The necessary detuning load capacitors are external. The
capacitors for fine tuning are integrated. The receive section is using a novel single-conversion/
direct-conversion scheme that is combining the advantages of both receive topologies. The IF is
contained on the chip, no RF channel filters are necessary as the channel filter is also on the chip.
The self-polling logic can be used to let the device operate autonomously as a master for a decoding
microcontroller.

2.4.1
Power Amplifier (PA)
The power amplifier is operating in C-mode. It can be used in either high or low power mode. In
high-power mode the transmit power is approximately +13dBm into 50 Ohm at 5V and +6dBm at
2.1V supply voltage. In low power mode the transmit power is approximately +12dBm at 5V and 34dBm at 2.1V supply voltage using the same matching network. The transmit power is controlled
by the D0-bit of the CONFIG register (subaddress 00H) as shown in the following Table 2-2. The
default output power mode is high power mode.

Downconverter 1st Mixer
The Double Balanced 1st Mixer converts the input frequency (RF) in the range of 315MHz down to
the intermediate frequency (IF) at approximately 105MHz. The local oscillator frequency is
generated by the PLL synthesizer that is fully implemented on-chip as described in Section 2.4.5.
This local oscillator operates at approximately 420MHz in receive mode providing the above
mentioned IF frequency of 105MHz. The mixer is followed by a low pass filter with a corner
frequency of approximately 175MHz in order to prevent RF and LO signals from appearing in the
105MHz IF signal.
2.4.4
Downconverter 2nd I/Q Mixers
The Low pass filter is followed by 2 mixers (inphase I and quadrature Q) that convert the 105MHz
IF signal down to zero-IF. These two mixers are driven by a signal that is generated by dividing the
local oscillator signal by 4, thus equalling the IF frequency.

2.4.5
PLL Synthesizer
The Phase Locked Loop synthesizer consists of two VCOs (i.e. transmit and receive VCO), a
divider by 4, an asynchronous divider chain with selectable overall division ratio, a phase detector
with charge pump and a loop filter and is fully implemented on-chip. The VCOs are including spiral
inductors and varactor diodes. The center frequency of the transmit VCO is 630MHz, the center
frequency of the receive VCO is 840MHz.
Generally in receive mode the relationship between local oscillator frequency fosc, the receive RF
frequency fRF and the IF frequency fIF and thus the frequency that is applied to the I/Q Mixers is
given in the following formula:
f osc
= 4/3 f RF = 4 f IF
2
[2 – 1]
The VCO signal is applied to a divider by 2 and afterwards by 4 which is producing approximately
105MHz signals in quadrature. The overall division ratio of the divider chain following the divider by
2 and 4 is 6 in transmit mode and 8 in receive mode as the nominal crystal oscillator frequency is
13.125MHz. The division ratio is controlled by the RxTx pin (pin 5) and the D10 bit in the CONFIG
register.
2.4.6
I/Q Filters
The I/Q IF to zero-IF mixers are followed by baseband 6th order low pass filters that are used for
RF-channel filtering.

The bandwidth of the filters is controlled by the values set in the filter-register. It can be adjusted
between 50 and 350kHz in 50kHz steps via the bits D1 to D3 of the LPF register (subaddress 03H).

2.4.7
I/Q Limiters
The I/Q Limiters are DC coupled multistage amplifiers with offset-compensating feedback circuit
and an overall gain of approximately 80dB each in the frequency range of 100Hz up to 350kHz.
Receive Signal Strength Indicator (RSSI) generators are included in both limiters which produce DC
voltages that are directly proportional to the input signal level in the respective channels. The
resulting I- and Q-channel RSSI-signals are summed to the nominal RSSI signal.
2.4.8
FSK Demodulator
The output differential signals of the I/Q limiters are fed to a quadrature correlator circuit that is used
to demodulate frequency shift keyed (FSK) signals. The demodulator gain is 2.4mV/kHz, the
maximum frequency deviation is ±300kHz as shown in Figure 2-4 below.
The demodulated signal is applied to the ASK/FSK mode switch which is connected to the input of
the data filter. The switch can be controlled by the ASKFSK pin (pin 4) and via the D11 bit in the
CONFIG register.
The modulation index m must be larger than 2 for correct demodulation of the signal.

Data Slicer
The data slicer is a fast comparator with a bandwidth of 100kHz. The self-adjusting threshold is
generated by a RC-network (LPF) or by use of one or both peak detectors depending on the
baseband coding scheme as described in Section 3.6. This can be controlled by the D15 bit of the
CONFIG register as shown in the following table.

Peak Detectors
Two separate Peak Detectors are available. They are generating DC voltages in a fast-attack and
slow-release manner that are proportional to the positive and negative peak voltages appearing in
the data signal. These voltages may be used to generate a threshold voltage for non-Manchester
encoded signals, for example. The time-constant of the fast-attack/slow-release action is
determined by the RC network with external capacitor.
2.4.12
Crystal Oscillator
The reference oscillator is an NIC oscillator type (Negative Impedance Converter) with a crystal
operating in serial resonance. The nominal operating frequency of 13.125MHz and the frequencies
for FSK modulation can be adjusted via 3 external capacitors. Via microcontroller and bus interface
the chip-internal capacitors can be used for finetuning of the nominal and the FSK modulation
frequencies. This finetuning of the crystal oscillator allows to eliminate frequency errors due to
crystal or component tolerances.

Version 1.0
Functional Description
Confidential
The I2C / 3-wire Bus Interface gives an external microcontroller full control over important system
parameters at any time.
It is possible to set the device in three different modes: Slave Mode, Self Polling Mode and Timer
Mode. This is done by a state machine which is implemented in the WAKEUP LOGIC unit. A
detailed description is given in Section 2.4.16.
The DATA VALID DETECTOR contains a frequency window counter and an RSSI threshold
comparator. The window counter uses the incoming data signal from the data slicer as the gating
signal and the crystal oscillator frequency as the timebase to determine the actual datarate. The
result is compared with the expected datarate.
The threshold comparator compares the actual RSSI level with the expected RSSI level.
If both conditions are true the PwdDD pin is set to LOW in self polling mode as you can see in
Section 2.4.16. This signal can be used as an interrupt for an external µP. Because the PwdDD
pin is bidirectional and open drain driven by an internal pull-up resistor it is possible to apply an
external LOW thus enabling the device.
2.4.15
Bus Interface and Register Definition
The TDA5251 supports the I2C bus protocol (2 wire) and a 3-wire bus protocol. Operation is
selectable by the BusMode pin (pin 2) as shown in the following table. All bus pins (BusData,
BusCLK, EN, BusMode) have a Schmitt-triggered input stage. The BusData pin is bidirectional
where the output is open drain driven by an internal 15kW pull up resistor.

I2C Bus Mode
In this mode the BusMode pin (pin 2) = LOW and the EN pin (pin 24) = LOW.
Data Transition:
Data transition on the pin BusData can only occur when BusCLK is LOW. BusData transitions while
BusCLK is HIGH will be interpreted as start or stop condition.
Start Condition (STA):
A start condition is defined by a HIGH to LOW transition of the BusData line while BusCLK is HIGH.
This start condition must precede any command and initiate a data transfer onto the bus.
Stop Condition (STO):
A stop condition is defined by a LOW to HIGH transition of the BusData line while BusCLK is HIGH.
This condition terminates the communication between the devices and forces the bus interface into
the initial state.
Acknowledge (ACK):
Indicates a successful data transfer. The transmitter will release the bus after sending 8 bit of data.
During the 9th clock cycle the receiver will set the SDA line to LOW level to indicate it has received
the 8 bits of data correctly.
Data Transfer Write Mode:
To start the communication, the bus master must initiate a start condition (STA), followed by the 8bit
chip address. The chip address for the TDA5251 is fixed as „1110000“ (MSB at first). The last bit
(LSB=A0) of the chip address byte defines the type of operation to be performed:
A0=0, a write operation is selected and A0=1 a read operation is selected.
After this comparison the TDA5251 will generate an ACK and awaits the desired sub address byte
(00H...0FH) and data bytes. At the end of the data transition the master has to generate the stop
condition (STO).
Data Transfer Read Mode:
To start the communication in the read mode, the bus master must initiate a start condition (STA),
followed by the 8 bit chip address (write: A0=0), followed by the sub address to read (80H, 81H),
followed by the chip address (read: A0=1). After that procedure the data of the selected register
(80H, 81H) is read out. During this time the data line has to be kept in HIGH state and the chip sends
out the data. At the end of data transition the master has to generate the stop condition (STO).

3-wire Bus Mode
In this mode pin 2 (BusMode)= HIGH and Pin 16 (BusData) is in the data input/output pin. Pin 24
(EN) is used to activate the bus interface to allow the transfer of data to / from the device. When pin
24 (EN) is inactive (HIGH), data transfer is inhibited.
Data Transition:
Data transition on pin 16 (BusData) can only occur if the clock BusCLK is LOW. To perform a data
transfer the interface has to be enabled. This is done by setting the EN line to LOW. A serial transfer
is done via BusData, BusCLK and EN. The bit stream needs no chip address.
Data Transfer Write Mode:
To start the communication the EN line has to be set to LOW. The desired sub address byte and
data bytes have to follow. The subaddress (00H...0FH) determines which of the data bytes are
transmitted. At the end of data transition the EN must be HIGH.
Data transfer Read Mode:
To start the communication in the read mode, the EN line has to be set to LOW followed by the sub
address to read (80H, 81H). Afterwards the device is ready to read out data. At the end of data
transition EN must be HIGH.

After RESET or 1st Power-up the chip is in SLAVE MODE. By setting MODE_1 and MODE_2 in the

SELF POLLING MODE: The chip turns itself on periodically to receive using a built-in 32kHz RC
oscillator. The timing of this is determined by the ON_TIME and OFF_TIME registers, the duty cycle
can be set between 0 and 100% in 31.25µs increments. The data detect logic is enabled and a 15µs

Sequence Timer
The sequence timer has to control all the enable signals of the analog components inside the chip.
The time base is the 32 kHz RC oscillator.
After the first POWER ON or RESET a 730kHz clock is available at the clock output pin. This clock
output can be used by an external mP to set the system into the desired state and outputs valid data
after 500 µs (see Figure 2-15 and Figure 2-16, tCLKSU)
There are two possibilities to start the device after a reset or first power on:
-
PWDDD pin is LOW: Normal operation timing is performed after tSYSSU (see Figure 2-15).
-
PWDDD pin is HIGH (device in power down mode): A clock is offered at the clock output pin
until the device is activated (PWDDD pin is pulled to LOW). After the first activation the time
tSYSSU is required until normal operation timing is performed (see Figure 2-16 ).
This could be used to extend the clock generation without device programming or activation.
Note: It is required to activate the device for the duration of tSYSSU after first power on or a reset.
Only if this is done the normal operation timing is performed.

To prevent wrong interpretation of the ADC information (read from Register 81H: ADC) you can use
the ADC- Power Down feedback Bit (D7) and the SELECT feedback Bit (D6) which correspond to
the actual measurement.
Note: As shown in Section 2.4.18 there is a setup time of 2.6ms after RX activating. Thus the
measurement of RSSI voltage does only make sense after this setup time.

RX/TX Switch
The RX/TX-switch combines the PA-output and the LNA-input into a single 50 Ohm SMAconnector. Two pin-diodes are used as switching elements. If no current flows through a pin diode,
it works as a high impedance for RF with very low capacitance. If the pin-diode is forward biased, it
provides a low impedance path for RF. (some W)
3.1.2
Switch in RX-Mode
The RX/TX-switch is set to the receive mode by either applying a high level or an open to the RX/
TX-jumper on the evalboard or by leaving it open. Then both pin-diodes are not biased and
therefore have a high impedance.

RX-Mode
The RF-signal is able to run from the RF-input-SMA-connector to the LNA-input-pin LNI via C1, C2,
C7, L3 and C9. R1 does not affect the matching circuit due to its high resistance. The other input of
the differential LNA LNIX can always be AC-grounded using a large capacitor without any loss of
performance. In this case the differential LNA can be used as a single ended LNA, which is easier
to match. The S11 of the LNA at pin LNI on the evalboard is 0.97 / -17° (equals a resistor of
3.3kOhm in parallel to a capacitor of 1.5pF) for both high and low-gain-mode of the LNA. (pin LNIX
AC-grounded) This impedance has to be matched to 50 Ohm with the parts C9, L3, C7 and C2. C1
is a DC-decoupling-capacitor. On the evalboard the most important matching components are
(shunt) L3 and (series)C7, C2. The capacitors is mainly a DC-decoupling-capacitor and may be
used for some fine tuning of the matching circuit. A good CAE tool (featuring smith-chart) may be
used for the calculation of the values of the components. However, the final values of the matching
components always have to be found on the board because of the parasitics of the board, which
highly influence the matching circuit at RF.

The noise figure of the LNA-input-matching network is equal to its losses. The input matching
network is always a compromise of sensitivity and selectivity. The loaded Q should not get too high
because of 2 reasons:
more losses in the matching network and hence less sensitivity
tolerances of components affect matching too much. This will cause problems in a tuning-free mass
production of the application. A good CAE-tool will help to see the effects of component tolerances
on the input matching more accurate by tweaking each value.
A very high selectivity can be reached by using SAW-filters at the expense of higher cost and lower
sensitivity which will be reduced by the losses of the SAW-Filter of approx. 4dB.
Image-suppression:
Due to the quite high 1st-IF of the frontend, the image frequency is quite far away. The image
frequency of the receiver is at:
f IMAGE

The image suppression on the evalboard is about 12dB.

Switch in TX-Mode
The evalboard can be set into the TX-Mode by grounding the RX/TX-jumper on the evalboard or
programming the TDA5251 to operate in the TX-Mode. If the IC is programmed to operate in the
TX-Mode, the RX/TX-pin will act as an open drain output at a logical LOW. Then a DC-current can
flow from VCC to GND via L1, L2, D1, R1 and D2.

The LNA-matching is RF-grounded now, so no power is lost in the LNA-input. The PA-matching

pulsed operation of the power amplifier transistor at a current flow angle of q<<p. A frequency

operating frequency of the transmitter.

Critical” operation is characterized by the RF peak voltage swing at the collector of the PA transistor
to just reach the supply voltage VS. The high efficiency under “critical” operating conditions can be
explained by the low power loss at the transistor.
During the conducting phase of the transistor there is no or only a very small collector voltage
present, thus minimizing the power loss of the transistor (iC*uCE). This is particularly true for low
current flow angles of q<<p. In practice the RF-saturation voltage of the PA transistor and other
parasitics will reduce the “critical” RLC.

The output power Po will be reduced when operating in an “overcritical” mode at a RL > RLC. As
shown in Figure 3-7, however, power efficiency E (and bandwidth) will increase by some degree
when operating at higher RL. The collector efficiency E is defined as
E =

The diagram of Figure 3-7 has been measured directly at the PA-output at VS=3V. A power loss in
the matching circuit of about 3dB will decrease the output power. As shown in the diagram, 250
Ohm is the optimum impedance for operation at 3V. For an approximation of ROPT and POUT at
other supply voltages those 2 formulas can be used:

The DC collector current Ic of the power amplifier and the RF output power Po vary with the load
resistor RL. This is typical for overcritical operation of class C amplifiers. The collector current will
show a characteristic dip at the resonance frequency for this type of “overcritical” operation. The
depth of this dip will increase with higher values of RL.

As Figure 3-8 shows, detuning beyond the bandwidth of the matching circuit results in a significant
increase of collector current of the power amplifier and in some loss of output power. This diagram
shows the data for the circuit of the test board at the frequency of 315MHz. The effective load
resistor of this circuit is RL= 250Ohm, which is the optimum impedance for operation at 3V. This will
lead to a dip of the collector current of approx. 20%.

C4, L2 and C3||C2 are the main matching components which are used to transform the 50 Ohm
load at the SMA-RF-connector to a higher impedance at the PA-output (250Ohm@3V). L1 can be
used for finetuning of the resonance frequency but should not be too low in order to keep its loss
low.
The transformed impedance of 250Ohm+j0 at the PA-output-pin can be verified with a network
analyzer using this measurement procedure:
1. Calibrate your network analyzer.
2. Connect a short, low-loss 50 Ohm cable to your network analyzer with an open end on one side.
Semirigid cable works best.
3. Use the „Port Extension“ feature of your network analyzer to shift the reference plane of your
network analyzer to the open end of the cable.
4. Connect the center-conductor of the cable to the solder pad of the pin „PA“ of the IC. The shield
has to be grounded. Very short connections must be used. Do not remove the IC or any part of
the matching-components!
5. Screw a 50Ohm-dummy-load on the RF-I/O-SMA-connector
6. The TDA5251 has to be in ASK-TX-Mode, Data-Input=LOW.
7. Be sure that your network analyzer is AC-coupled and turn on the power supply of the IC.
8. Measure the S-parameter

The crystal oscillator in the TDA5251 is a NIC (negative impedance converter) oscillator type. The
input impedance of this oscillator is a negative impedance in series to an inductance. Therefore the
load capacitance of the crystal CL (specified by the crystal supplier) is transformed to the
capacitance Cv as shown in formula [3-17].

With the aid of this formula it becomes obvious that the higher the serial capacitance CV is, the
higher is the influence of LOSC.
The tolerance of the internal oscillator inductivity is much higher, so the inductivity is the dominating
value for the tolerance.
FSK modulation and tuning are achieved by a variation of Cv.
In case of small frequency deviations (up to +/- 1000 ppm), the desired load capacitances for FSK

With CL+ and CL- the necessary Cv+ for FSK HIGH and Cv- for FSK LOW can be calculated.

In ASK receive mode the crystal oscillator is set to frequency f2 to realize the necessary frequency
offset to receive the ASK signal at f0*N (N: division ratio of the PLL).
To set the 3 different frequencies 3 different Cv are necessary. Via internal switches 3 external
capacitors can be combined to generate the necessary Cv in case of ASK- or FSK-modulation.
Internal banks of switchable capacitors allow the finetuning of these frequencies.
3.2.2
Transmit/Receive ASK/FSK Frequency Assignment
Depending on whether the device operates in transmit or receive mode or whether it operates in
ASK or FSK the following cases can be distinguished:
3.2.2.1
FSK-mode
In transmit mode the two frequencies representing logical HIGH and LOW data states have to be
adjusted depending on the intended frequency deviation and separately according to the following
formulas:
fCOSC HI = (fRF + fDEV) / 24

fCOSC LOW = (fRF - fDEV) / 24

e.g.
fCOSC HI
= (315E6 + 30E3) / 24= 13.12625MHz
fCOSC LOW
= (315E6 - 30E3) / 24= 13.12375MHz
with a frequency deviation of 30kHz.
Figure 3-15 shows the configuration of the switches and the capacitors to achieve the 2 desired
frequencies. Gray parts of the schematics indicate inactive parts. For FSK modulation the ASKswitch is always open.
For FSK LOW the FSK-switch is closed and Cv2 and Ctune2 are bypassed. The effective Cv- is given
by:
CV - = C v1 + C tune1
[3 – 20]
For finetuning Ctune1 can be varied over a range of 8 pF in steps of 125fF. The switches of this Cbank are controlled by the bits D0 to D5 in the FSK register (subaddress 01H, see Table 3-6).
For FSK HIGH the FSK-switch is open. So the effective Cv+ is given by:
( C v1 + C tune1 ) × ( C v2 + C tune2 )
C v+ = --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------C v1 + C tune1 + C v2 + C tune2
[3 – 21]
The C-bank Ctune2 can be varied over a range of 16 pF in steps of 250fF for finetuning of the FSK
HIGH frequency. The switches of this C-bank are controlled by the bits D8 to D13 in the FSK
register (subaddress 01H, see Table 3-6).

In receive mode the crystal oscillator frequency is set to yield a direct-to-zero conversion of the
receive data. Thus the frequency may be calculated as
fCOSC = fRF / 24,
[3 – 22]

fCOSC = 315E6 / 24= 13.123MHz

XTAL_TUNING register (subaddress 02H, see Table 3-5).
3.2.2.2
ASK-mode:
In transmit mode the crystal oscillator frequency is the same as in the FSK receive case, see
Figure 3-16.
In receive mode a receive frequency offset is necessary as the limiters feedback is AC-coupled.
This offset is achieved by setting the oscillator frequency to the FSK HIGH transmit frequency, see
Figure 3-15.

C v1 + C tune1 = C v- – C 21

C v3 + C tune2 = ------------------------------------------------------------------------- – C 20 – C v2 – C 22
( C v1 + C tune1 ) – ( C vm – C 21 )
[3 – 29]
To compensate frequency errors due to crystal and component tolerance Cv1, Cv2 and Cv3 have to
be varied. To enable this correction, half of the necessary capacitance variation has to be realized
with the internal C-banks.
If no finetuning is intended it is recommended to leave XIN (Pin 21) open. So the parasitic
capacitance of Pin 21 has no effect.
Note: Please keep in mind also to include the Pad parasitics of the circuit board.
In the suitable range for the serial capacitor, either capacitors with a tolerance of 0.1pF or 1% are
available.
A spreadsheet, which can be used to predict the total frequency error by simply entering the crystal
specification, may be obtained from Infineon.
3.2.5
FSK-switch modes
The FSK-switch can be used either in a bipolar or in a FET mode. The mode of this switch is
controlled by bit D0 of the XTAL_CONFIG register (subaddress 0EH).
In the bipolar mode the FSK-switch can be controlled by a ramp function. This ramp function is set
by the bits D1 and D2 of the XTAL_CONFIG register (subadress 0EH). With these modes of the
FSK-switch the bandwidth of the FSK spectrum can be influenced.
When working in the FET mode the power consumption can be reduced by about 200 mA.

In case of internal tuning: The crystal on the evaluation board has a temperature stability of +/20ppm (or +/- 6.3kHz), which must be added to the total tolerances in worst case. It’s possible to
choose a crystal compensating the oscillators temperature drift in a certain range and thus the
overall temperature tolerances are minimized.
In case of default setup (without internal tuning and without usage of pin 21) the temperature
stability and tuning tolerance of the crystal as well as the tolerance of the external capacitors (+/0.1pF) have to be added. The crystal on the evaluation board has a temperature stability of +/20ppm (or +/- 6.3kHz) and a tuning tolerance of +/- 10ppm (or +/- 3.2 kHz). The external capacitors
add a tolerance of +/- 3.5ppm (or +/- 1.1kHz). Here also the overall temperature tolerances can be
reduced when applying an appropriate temperature drift of the crystal.
The frequency stabilities of both the receiver and the transmitter and the modulation bandwidth set
the limit for the bandwidth of the IQ filter. To achieve a high receiver sensitivity and efficient
suppression of adjacent interference signals, the narrowest possible IQ bandwidth should be
realized (see Section 3.3).

The IQ-Filter should be set to values corresponding to the RF-bandwidth of the received RF signal

Limiter and RSSI
The I/Q Limiters are DC coupled multistage amplifiers with offset-compensating feedback circuit
and an overall gain of approximately 80dB each in the frequency range of 100Hz up to 350kHz.
Receive Signal Strength Indicator (RSSI) generators are included in both limiters which produce DC
voltages that are directly proportional to the input signal level in the respective channels. The
resulting I- and Q-channel RSSI-signals are summed to the nominal RSSI signal.

Data Slicer - Slicing Level
The data slicer is an analog-to-digital converter. It is necessary to generate a threshold value for the
negative comparator input (data slicer). The TDA5251 offers an RC integrator and a peak detector
which can be selected via logic. Independent of the choice, the peak detector outputs are always
active.

Peak Detector - Analog output signal
The TDA5251 data output can be digital (pin 28) or in analog form by using the peak detector output
and changing some settings.
To get an analog data output the slicer must be set to lowpass mode (Reg. 0, D15 = LP = 0) and
the peak detector capacitor at pin 12 or 13 has to be changed to a resistor of about 47kOhm.

Data Valid Detection
In order to detect valid data two criteria must be fulfilled.
One criteria is the data rate, which can be set in register 06h and 07h. The other one is the received
RF power level, which can be set in register 08h in form of the RSSI threshold voltage. Thus for
using the data valid detection FSK modulation is recommended.

Note 1: Chip internal signal „Sequencer enables data detection“ has a LOW to HIGH transition
about 2.6ms after RX is activated (see Figure 2-15).
Note 2: The positive edge of the „Window Count Complete“ signal latches the result of comparison
of the analog to digital converted RSSI voltage with TH3 (register 08H). A logic combination of this
output and the result of the comparison with single/double THx defines the internal signal
„data_valid“.

This yields the following results:

Default values (window counter inactive):
TH1= 000000000000b

Example for transmitted Data-structure
According to existing synchronization techniques there are some synchronization bursts in front of
the data added (code violation!). A minimum of 4 Frames is transmitted. Data are preferably
Manchester encoded to get fastest respond out of the Data Rate Detection.
Target Application:
- received Signal has code violation as described before
- total mean current consumption below 1mA
- data reception within max. 400ms after first transmitted frame
One possible Solution:
tON = 15ms, tOFF= 135ms

Description:
Assumption: the ON time comes right after the first frame (Case A). If OFF time is 135ms the
receiver turns on during Sync-pulses and the PwdDD- pulse wakes up the µP.
If the ON time is in the center of the 50ms gap of transmission (Case B), the Data Detect Logic will
wake up the µP 135ms later.
If ON time is over just before Sync-pulses (Case C), next ON time is during Data transmission and
Data Detect Logic will trigger a PwdDD- pulse to wake up the µP.
Note: In this example it is recommended to use the Peak Detector for slicer threshold generation,
because of its fast attack and slow release characteristic. To overcome the data zero gap of 50ms
larger external capacitors than noted in Section 4.4 at pin12 and 13 are recommended. Further
information on calculating these components can be taken from Section 3.6.2.

Test Setup
The test setup used for the measurements is shown in the following figure. In case of ASK

sequence (PRBS) generator and a bit error test set built in. The resulting I/Q signals are applied to
the SMIQ to generate a ASK (OOK) spectrum at the desired RF frequency.
Data is demodulated by the TDA5251 and then sent back to the AMIQ to be compared with the
originally sent data. The bit error rate is calculated by the bit error rate equipment inside the AMIQ.
Baseband coding in the form of Manchester is applied to the I signal as can be seen in the

BER Test Setup
In the following figures the RF power level shown is the average power level.
These investigations have been made on an Infineon evaluation board using a data rate of 4 kBit/
s with manchester encoding and a data filter bandwidth of 7 kHz. This is the standard configuration
of our evaluation boards. All these measurements have been performed with several evaluation
boards, so that production scattering and component tolerances are already included in these
results.
Regarding the data filter bandwidth it has to be mentioned that a data rate of 4 kBit/s using
manchester encoding results in a data frequency of 2 kHz to 4 kHz depending on the occurring
data pattern. The test pattern given by the AMIQ is a pseudo random binary sequency (PRBS9)
with a 9 bit shift register. This pattern varies the resulting data frequency up to 4 kHz.

The best sensitivity performance can be achieved using a data filter bandwidth of 1.25 times the
maximum occuring data frequency.
The IQ filter setting is depending on the modulation type. ASK needs an IQ filter of 50kHz, 30kHz
deviation at FSK recommend a 50kHz IQ filter.
A very practicable configuration is to set the chip-internal adjustable IQ filter to the sum of FSK peak
deviation and maximum datafrequency. Concerning these aspects the bandwidth should be chosen
small enough. With respect to both, the crystal tolerances and the tolerances of the crystal oscillator
circuit of receiver and transmitter as well, a too small IQ filter bandwidth will reduce the sensitivity
again. So a compromise has to be made. For further details on chip tolerances see also Section

Layout of the Evaluation Board
Note 1: The LNA and PA matching network was designed for minimum required space and
maximum performance and thus via holes were deliberately placed into solder pads.
In case of reproduction please bear in mind that this may not be suitable for all automatic soldering
processes.
Note 2: Please keep in mind not to layout the CLKDIV line directly in the neighborhood of the crystal
and the associated components.
Note 3: The opto part (X4) should be supplied by connecting to X3.
