Observe precautions for handling. 1. Description The U2741B is a PLL transmitter IC which has been especially developed for the demands of RF low-cost data transmission systems at data rates up to 20 kBaud. The transmitting frequency range is 300 MHz to 450 MHz. The device can be used in both FSK and ASK systems. Rev. 4733B–RKE–09/05 Figure 1-1.

General Description The fully integrated VCO and the “single-ended open-collector” output allow particularly simple, low-cost RF miniature transmitters to be assembled. The single-ended output enables a considerably simplified adaptation of both a magnetic loop antenna of any form or a λ/4 antenna. This is because the load impedance must not be balanced as would be the case with a differential output. The XTO’s frequency can be selected at either 13.56 MHz (USA 9.844 MHz) or 6.78 MHz (USA 4.9219 MHz). Thus, it is possible to use not only exceptionally small SMD crystals at 13.56 MHz but also very low-cost 6.78 MHz crystals in a wired metal package (e.g., in the HC49S housing). The frequency is selected by connecting pin 16 (DIVC) to either GND or VS. At high frequencies, crystals have a very fast start-up time (< 1.5 ms at 13.56 MHz, < 3 ms at 6.78 MHz), whereby a wait time of 5 to 10 ms is required until the transmitter IC is locked. This means that the processor does not need to poll a lock detect output. 4. Functional Description The IC can be switched on at both the FSK and the ASK input. The IC's ChipSelect is performed by the logical OR operation of ASK and FSK input. In the case of VFSK, VASK ≤0.3V, the powerdown supply current is ISoff < 0.35 µA. The ASK input activates the power amplifier and the PLL. The FSK input only activates the PLL and, if capacitor C3 is installed, pulls the crystal to the lower frequency, whereby the transmitter is FSK modulated. After switching on at FSK, the VCO locks onto the 32 or 64 times higher frequency of the crystal oscillator. 4.1 FSK Transmission The U2741B is switched on by VFSK = VS. 5 ms later, VS is applied to VASK. The output can then be modulated by means of pin FSK. This is done by connecting capacitor C3 in parallel to the load capacitor C4. 4.2 ASK Transmission The U2741B is activated by VFSK = VS. VASK remains 0V for 5 ms, then the output power can be modulated by means of pin ASK. In this case, VFSK remains = VS during the message, the capacitor C3 is not mounted. 4.3 Take-over of the Clock Pulse in the Microcontroller The clock of the crystal oscillator can be used for clocking the microcontroller. The ATAR090 and ATAR890 have the special feature of starting with an integrated RC oscillator to switch on the U2741B with VFSK = VS. 5 ms later, the 3.39-MHz clock frequency is present, so that the message can be sent with crystal accuracy. 4 U2741B 4733B–RKE–09/05 U2741B 5. Application Circuit The following component values are recommendations for a typical application. C5, C6, and C7 are block capacitors. The values of these capacitors depend on the board layout. C5 = 1 nF, C6 = 1 nF, and C7 = 22 nF are typically used here. For C5, the impedance between f = 100 MHz and f = 1 GHz should be as low as possible. C3 is not needed in ASK transmitter applications. In the case of FSK, C3 is selected in such a way that the desired transmission frequency deviation is achieved (typical ±30 kHz). The capacitance here depends upon the crystal's load capacity (C4) recommended by the manufacturer of the crystal. C2 = 3.9 nF, C1 = 15 nF, and R4 = 220Ω. CLoop1 and CLoop2 are selected so that the antenna oscillates in resonance and the adaptation to the appropriate impedance transformation is possible. LFeed is an inductor for the antenna's DC current supply. A typical value is LFeed = 220 nH. LFeed can be either printed on the PC board or be a discrete component. 5.1 Output Power Measurement The output network [as shown in Figure 5-1] can be used for output power evaluation, the exact values of L10 and C10 depend on the layout. L10 and C10 form the transformation network to adopt the output impedance of the IC to 50Ω. Table 5-1 shows the values for an output power of 2 mW and an RPWRSET = 1.2 kΩ. Table 5-1.
