UAA3500HL
The UAA3500HL contains a front-end receiver, which can
be configured through external components for any
frequency band between 130 and 930 MHz. The back-end
receiver consists of the channel filter and limiters. An
external VCO ensures the Local Oscillator (LO) for the
front-end. Designed in an advanced BiCMOS process, it
combines high performance with low-power consumption
and a high degree of integration, thus reducing external
component costs and total radio size.
FEATURES
• Double frequency conversion, zero-IF receiver with:
– Configurable in all paging bands (130 to 930 MHz)
– Low noise amplifier featured with four step Automatic
Gain Control (AGC)
– Down-conversion mixers
– On-chip, zero-IF channel filter
– I/Q, non-demodulated outputs
Its first advantage is to remove the expensive SAW filter
necessary in a superhet architecture, replacing it by an
integrated, elliptic channel filter that provides 70 dB
adjacent channel rejection. The receive front-end section
consists of a low-noise amplifier that drives mixers through
an external LC image rejection filter. The output drives the
I and Q second mixers, whose outputs are at zero
frequency. The receiver back-end section consists of
filters (channel filtering), limiters (limited output required)
and high-pass filters (DC block) to remove DC offsets.
Outputs are I and Q, undemodulated signals.
– Highpass filters to remove DC offsets.
• External Voltage Controlled Oscillator (VCO):
– Both Local Oscillators (LOs) derived from the VCO.
APPLICATIONS
• FLEXTM, ERMES and POCSAG pagers
• Remote control terminals.
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
Its second advantage is to provide the two LO signals from
one VCO only, tuned by a PLL. An on-chip frequency
divider-by-2 and buffers provide the LO sources.
The UAA3500HL is a one-chip pager receiver complying
with POCSAG, FLEXTM and ERMES standards. The IC
performs in accordance with specifications in the
−10 to +55 °C temperature range.
Its third advantage is to provide two voltage regulators,
allowing to obtain 1.0 and 1.8 V regulated voltages.

FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
The first, second and third DC block frequencies are set at
4, 8 and 12 Hz respectively by external 330 nF capacitors.
Receiver front-end section
The two voltage regulators are also activated by RXON.
The receiver front-end consists of an LNA, followed by the
first and the second mixers. For operation at low frequency
(160 and 280 MHz, for instance), the first mixer can be
bypassed, saving some current. The image rejection is
done by an external LC filter placed between the LNA, the
first mixer and the antenna selectivity. The IF band is
filtered by an external filter placed between the first mixer
and the second mixers for the I and Q paths. The
RF signals are in phase, and the LO signals are shifted
by 90°. The output signals are at zero frequency.
At the output of the gyrator filter, the signal is buffered and
logarithmically converted. It then controls the AGC loop.
To rapidly reach the DC operating point, a fast mode is
built into the three DC blocks.
LO
The external VCO is AC-coupled at input LOIN. It is then
buffered to drive the first mixer. LOIN also enters a
quadrature divider-by-2, whose output signals are also
buffered to drive the second mixers. The VCO frequency
should be 2⁄3 of the input RF signal.
To increase the immunity to interferers, an AGC loop
controls the LNA gain by attenuating the RF input signal.
Four steps of attenuation are possible (each having 8 dB),
ranging therefore from 0 to 32 dB. The AGC loop
threshold level and time constant may be controlled
externally at pins AGCADJ and AGCTAU. The second
LO I/Q phase shift is made by a quadrature divider, whose
input is the VCO oscillating signal.
The LO signal must be generated with an external
frequency synthesizer and VCO or with a crystal oscillator.
OPERATING MODES
To use the IC, all VCC pins must be connected to the
supply voltage B++ (2.1 V). The 1.8 V regulated voltage
sinks current from B++ and the 1.0 V regulated voltage
from B+ (1.4 V). In a typical application, the B+ supply is
the battery and the B++ supply is the DC/DC converter
located in the baseband chip.
The LNA current is setup by an external resistor. All the
receivers (front-end and back-end) are turned on by
pin RXON.
Receiver back-end section
The down-converted signal is amplified and then filtered
by a Sallen-Key filter, which shows a notch at 15 kHz and
about 6 dB rejection out-of-band. Then comes the first
high-pass filter (DC block), followed by the gyrator filter,
which performs an elliptic, 7-pole low-pass filtering. The
signal is then amplified by the first limiter, filtered by the
second DC block, amplified again, and filtered again by
the third DC block. Finally, an output stage delivers the
signal with rail-to-rail logic levels.
Table 1
In normal operating mode, the receiver should be
powered-on in fast mode. The fast mode can be turned off
after several milliseconds.
Table 1 gives the definition of the polarity of the switching
signals on the receive section.

• Use a double-wave soldering method comprising a
turbulent wave with high upward pressure followed by a
smooth laminar wave.
SOLDERING
Introduction to soldering surface mount packages
This text gives a very brief insight to a complex technology.
A more in-depth account of soldering ICs can be found in
our “Data Handbook IC26; Integrated Circuit Packages”
(document order number 9398 652 90011).
• For packages with leads on two sides and a pitch (e):
– larger than or equal to 1.27 mm, the footprint
longitudinal axis is preferred to be parallel to the
transport direction of the printed-circuit board;
There is no soldering method that is ideal for all surface
mount IC packages. Wave soldering is not always suitable
for surface mount ICs, or for printed-circuit boards with
high population densities. In these situations reflow
soldering is often used.
– smaller than 1.27 mm, the footprint longitudinal axis
must be parallel to the transport direction of the
printed-circuit board.
The footprint must incorporate solder thieves at the
downstream end.
• For packages with leads on four sides, the footprint must
be placed at a 45° angle to the transport direction of the
printed-circuit board. The footprint must incorporate
solder thieves downstream and at the side corners.
Reflow soldering
Reflow soldering requires solder paste (a suspension of
fine solder particles, flux and binding agent) to be applied
to the printed-circuit board by screen printing, stencilling or
pressure-syringe dispensing before package placement.
During placement and before soldering, the package must
be fixed with a droplet of adhesive. The adhesive can be
applied by screen printing, pin transfer or syringe
dispensing. The package can be soldered after the
adhesive is cured.
Several methods exist for reflowing; for example,
infrared/convection heating in a conveyor type oven.
Throughput times (preheating, soldering and cooling) vary
between 100 and 200 seconds depending on heating
method.
Typical dwell time is 4 seconds at 250 °C. A
mildly-activated flux will eliminate the need for removal of
corrosive residues in most applications.
Typical reflow peak temperatures range from
215 to 250 °C. The top-surface temperature of the
packages should preferable be kept below 230 °C.
Manual soldering
Fix the component by first soldering two
diagonally-opposite end leads. Use a low voltage (24 V or
less) soldering iron applied to the flat part of the lead.
Contact time must be limited to 10 seconds at up to
300 °C.
Wave soldering
Conventional single wave soldering is not recommended
for surface mount devices (SMDs) or printed-circuit boards
with a high component density, as solder bridging and
non-wetting can present major problems.
When using a dedicated tool, all other leads can be
soldered in one operation within 2 to 5 seconds between
270 and 320 °C.
To overcome these problems the double-wave soldering
method was specifically developed.
If wave soldering is used the following conditions must be
observed for optimal results:

Notes
1. All surface mount (SMD) packages are moisture sensitive. Depending upon the moisture content, the maximum
temperature (with respect to time) and body size of the package, there is a risk that internal or external package
cracks may occur due to vaporization of the moisture in them (the so called popcorn effect). For details, refer to the
Drypack information in the “Data Handbook IC26; Integrated Circuit Packages; Section: Packing Methods”.
2. These packages are not suitable for wave soldering as a solder joint between the printed-circuit board and heatsink
(at bottom version) can not be achieved, and as solder may stick to the heatsink (on top version).
3. If wave soldering is considered, then the package must be placed at a 45° angle to the solder wave direction.
The package footprint must incorporate solder thieves downstream and at the side corners.
4. Wave soldering is only suitable for LQFP, TQFP and QFP packages with a pitch (e) equal to or larger than 0.8 mm;
it is definitely not suitable for packages with a pitch (e) equal to or smaller than 0.65 mm.
5. Wave soldering is only suitable for SSOP and TSSOP packages with a pitch (e) equal to or larger than 0.65 mm; it is
definitely not suitable for packages with a pitch (e) equal to or smaller than 0.5 mm.
