1 General Description
The AS3932 is a 3-channel low power ASK receiver that is able to
generate a wakeup upon detection of a data signal which uses a LF
carrier frequency between 110 - 150 kHz. The integrated correlator
can be used for detection of a programmable 16-bit wakeup pattern.
The device can operate using one, two, or three active channels.
The AS3932 provides a digital RSSI value for each active channel, it
supports a programmable data rate and Manchester decoding with
clock recovery. The AS3932 offers a real-time clock (RTC), which is
either derived from a crystal oscillator or the internal RC oscillator.
The programmable features of AS3932 enable to optimize its
settings for achieving a longer distance while retaining a reliable
wakeup generation. The sensitivity level of AS3932 can be adjusted
in presence of a strong field or in noisy environments.
The device is available in 16 pin TSSOP and QFN 4x4 16LD
packages.

Description
8 Detailed Description
The AS3932 is a three-dimensional low power low-frequency wakeup receiver. The AS3932 is capable to detect the presence of an inductive
coupled carrier and extract the envelope of the On-Off-Keying (OOK) modulated carrier. In case the carrier is Manchester coded the clock is
recovered from the transmitted signal and the data can be correlated with a programmed pattern. If the detected pattern corresponds to the
stored one a wake-up signal (IRQ) is risen up. The pattern correlation can be bypassed in case and the wake-up detection is based only on the
frequency detection.
The AS3932 is made up by three independent receiving channels, one envelop detector, one data correlator, one Manchester decoder, 8
programmable registers with the main logic and a real time clock.
The digital logic can be accessed by an SPI. The real time clock can be based on a crystal oscillator or on an internal RC one. In case the
second is used to improve its accuracy a calibration can be performed.

Description
AS3932 needs the following external components:
Power supply capacitor - CBAT – 100 nF
32.768 kHz crystal with its two pulling capacitors – XTAL and CL – (it is possible to omit these components if the internal RC oscillator is
used instead of the crystal oscillator).
One, two, or three LC resonators according to the number of used channels.
In case the internal RC-oscillator is used (no crystal oscillator is mounted), the pin XIN has to be connected to the supply, while pin XOUT should
stay floating. Application diagrams with and without crystal are shown in Figure 1and Figure 2
8.2 Operating Modes
8.2.1
Power Down Mode
In Power Down Mode AS3932 is completely switched off. The typical current consumption is 400 nA.
8.2.2
Listening Mode
In listening mode only the active channel amplifiers and the RTC are running. In this mode the system detects the presence of a carrier. In case
the carrier is detected the RSSI can be displayed.
If the three dimensional detection is not required it is possible to deactivate one or more channels. In case only two channels are required the
deactivated channel must be the number three, while if only one channel detection is needed the active channel must be the number one.
Inside this mode it is possible to distinguish the following three sub modes:
8.2.2.1
Standard Listening mode
All channels are active at the same time
8.2.2.2
Scanning mode (Low Power mode 1)
All used channels are active, but only one per time slot, where the time slot T is defined as 1ms. If, for example all three channels are used in the
first millisecond the only active channel is the number one, after the first millisecond the channel three will be active for the same period of time
and at the end the channel two will be working for one millisecond, handing over to the channel one again. This channel rotation goes on until the
presence of the carrier is detected by any of the channels; then immediately all three channels will become active at the same time. Now AS3932
can perform a simultaneous multidirectional evaluation (on all three channels) of the field and evaluate which channel has the strongest RSSI.
The channel with the highest RSSI will be put through to the demodulator. In this way it is possible to perform multidirectional monitoring of the
field with a current consumption of a single channel, keeping the sensitivity as good as if all channels are active at the same time.

8.2.2.3
Description
ON/OFF mode (Low Power mode 2)
All active channels are on at the same time but not for the whole time (time slot T is defined as 1ms). An on-off duty-ratio is defined. This duty
ratio is programmable see R4<7:6>.

time
For each of these sub modes it is possible to enable a further feature called Artificial Wake-up. The Artificial Wake-up is a counter based on the
used RTC. Three bits define a time window see R8<2:0>. If no activity is seen within this time window the chip will produce an interrupt on the
WAKE pin that lasts 128 µs. With this interrupt the microcontroller (µC) can get feedback on the surrounding environment (e.g. read the false
wakeup register, see Correlator register R13<7:0>) and/or take actions in order to change the setup.
8.2.3
Preamble Detection / Pattern Correlation
The chip can go in to this mode after detecting a LF carrier only if the data correlator function is enabled see R1<1>. The correlator searches
first for preamble frequency (constant frequency of Manchester clock defined according to bit-rate transmission) and then for data pattern.
If the pattern is matched the wake-up interrupt is displayed on the WAKE output and the chip goes in Data receiving mode. If the pattern fails the
internal wake-up (on all active channels) is terminated and no IRQ is produced.
8.2.4
Data Receiving
The user can enable this mode allowing the pattern correlation or just on the base of the frequency detection. In this mode the chip can be
retained a normal OOK receiver. The data is provided on the DAT pin and in case the Manchester decoder is enabled see R1<3>, the recovered
clock is present on the CL_DAT. It is possible to put the chip back to listening mode either with a direct command (CLEAR_WAKE (see Table 12))
or by using the timeout feature. This feature automatically sets the chip back to listening mode after a certain time R7<7:5>.

SDI Command Structure
To program the SDI the CS signal has to go high. A SDI command is made up by a two bytes serial command and the data is sampled on the
falling edge of SCLK. The Table 9 shows how the command looks like, from the MSB (B15) to LSB (B0). The command stream has to be sent to
the SDI from the MSB (B15) to the LSB (B0).

Writing of Data to Addressable Registers (WRITE Mode)
The SDI is sampled at the falling edge of CLK (as shown in the following diagrams).
A CS toggling high-low-high indicates the end of the WRITE command after register has been written. The following example shows a write
command.

Reading of Data from Addressable Registers (READ Mode)
Once the address has been sent through SDI, the data can be fed through the SDO pin out to the microcontroller.
A CS LOW toggling high-low-high has to be performed after finishing the read mode session, in order to indicate the end of the READ command
and prepare the Interface to the next command control Byte.
To transfer bytes from consecutive addresses, SDI master has to keep the CS signal high and the SCLK clock has to be active as long as data
need to be read.

8.4 Channel Amplifier and Frequency Detector
Each of the 3 channels consists of a variable gain amplifier, an automatic gain control and a frequency detector. The latter detects the presence
of a carrier. As soon as the carrier is detected the AGC is enabled, the gain of the VGA is reduced and set to the right value and the RSSI can be
displayed.
It is possible to enable/disable individual channels, in case not all three channels are needed. This enables to reduce the current consumption by
1.5 µA (typ.) per channel.
8.4.1
Frequency Detector / AGC
The frequency detection uses the RTC as time base. In case the internal RC oscillator is used as RTC, it must be calibrated, but the calibration
is guaranteed for a 32.768 kHz crystal oscillator only. The frequency detection criteria can be tighter or more relaxed according to the setup
described in R2<1:0>(see Table 13).

Data Sheet - D e t a i l e d
Description
The AGC can operate in two modes:
AGC down only (R1<5>=0)
AGC up and down (R1<5>=1)
As soon as the AGC starts to operate, the gain in the VGA is set to maximum. If the AGC down only mode is selected, the AGC can only
decrease the gain. Since the RSSI is directly derived from the VGA gain, the system holds the RSSI peak.
When the AGC up and down mode is selected, the RSSI can follow the input signal strength variation in both directions.
Regardless which AGC operation mode is used, the AGC needs maximum 35 carrier periods to settle.
The RSSI is available for all 3 channels at the same time and it is stored in 3 registers (R10<4:0>, R11<4:0>, R12<4:0>)
Both AGC modes (only down or down and up) can also operate with time limitation. This option allows AGC operation only in time slot of 256µs
following the internal wake-up. Then the AGC (RSSI) is frozen till the wake-up or RSSI reset occurs.
The RSSI is reset either with the direct command 'clear_wakeup' or 'reset_RSSI'. The 'reset_RSSI' command resets only the AGC setting but
does not terminate wake-up condition. This means that if the signal is still present the new AGC setting (RSSI) will appear not later than 300µs
(35 LF carrier periods) after the command was received. The AGC setting is reset if for duration of 3 Manchester half symbols no carrier is
detected. If the wake-up IRQ is cleared the chip will go back to listening mode.
In case the maximum amplification at the beginning is a drawback (e.g. in noisy environment) it is possible to set a smaller starting gain on the
amplifier, according to the Table 14. In this way it is possible to reduce the false frequency detection.

Antenna Damper
The antenna damper allows the chip to deal with higher field strength, it is enabled by register R1<4>. It consists of shunt resistors which
degrade the quality factor of the resonator by reducing the signal at the input of the amplifier. In this way the resonator sees a smaller parallel
resistance (in the band of interest) which degrades its quality factor in order to increase the linear range of the channel amplifier (the amplifier
doesn't saturate in presence of bigger signals). Table 15 shows the bit setup.

Description
8.5 Channel Selector / Demodulator / Data Slicer
When at least one of three gain channel enters initial wake-up state the channel selector makes a decision which gain channel to connect to the
envelope detector. If only one channel is in wake-up state the selection is obvious. If more than one channel enters wake-up state in 256µs
following the first active channel the channel with highest RSSI value is selected. The output signal (amplified LF carrier) of selected channel is
connected to the input of the demodulator.
The performance of the demodulator can be optimized according to bit rate and preamble length as described in Table 16 and Table 17.

If the bit rate gets higher the time constant in the envelop detector must be set to a smaller value, this means that higher noise is injected
because of the wider band. The next table is a rough indication of how the envelop detector looks like for different bit rates. By using proper data
slicer settings it is possible to improve the noise immunity paying the penalty of a longer preamble. In fact if the data slicer has a bigger time
constant it is possible to reject more noise, but every time a transmission occurs, the data slicer need time to settle. This settling time will
influence the length of the preamble. Table 17 gives a correlation between data slicer setup and minimum required preamble length.

Note: These times are minimum required, but it is recommended to prolong the preamble.
The comparator of the data slicer can work only with positive or with symmetrical threshold (R3<6>). In addition the threshold can be 20 or 40 mV
(R3<7>)
In case the length of the preamble is an issue the data slicer can also work with an absolute threshold (R1<7>). In this case the bits R3<2:0>
would not influence the performance. It is even possible to reduce the absolute threshold in case the environment is not particularly noisy
(R2<7>).

Description
8.6 Correlator
After frequency detection the data correlation is only performed if the correlator is enabled (R1<1>=1).
The data correlation consists of checking the presence of a preamble (ON/OFF modulated carrier) followed by a certain pattern.
After the frequency detection the correlator waits 16 bits (see bit rate definition in Table 18) and if no preamble is detected the chip is set back to
listening mode and the false-wakeup register (R13<7:0>) is incremented by one.
To get started with the pattern correlation the correlator needs to detect at least 4 bits of the preamble (ON/OFF modulated carrier).
The bit duration is defined in the register R7<4:0> according to the Table 18 as function of the Real Time Clock (RTC) periods.

Description
If the preamble is detected correctly the correlator keeps searching for a data pattern. The duration of the preamble plus the pattern should not
be longer than 40 bits (see bit rate definition in Table 18). The data pattern can be defined by the user and consists of two bytes which are stored
in the registers R5<7:0> and R6<7:0>. The two bytes define the pattern consisting of 16 half bit periods. This means the pattern and the bit
period can be selected by the user. The only limitation is that the pattern (in combination with preamble) must obey Manchester coding and
timing. It must be noted that according to Manchester coding a down-to-up bit transition represents a symbol "0", while a transition up-to-down
represents a symbol "1". If the default code is used (96 [hex]) the binary code is (10 01 01 10 01 10 10 01). MSB has to be transmitted first.
The user can also select (R1<2>) if single or double data pattern is used for wake-up. In case double pattern detection is set, the same pattern
has to be repeated 2 times.
Additionally it is possible to set the number of allowed missing zero bits (not symbols) in the received bitstream (R2<6:5>), as shown in the Table
19.

If the pattern is matched the wake-up interrupt is displayed on the WAKE output. In case the Manchester decoder is enabled (R1<3>) the data
coming out from the DAT pin are decoded and the clock is recovered on the pin DAT_CL.
The data coming out from the DAT pin are stable (and therefore can be acquired) on the rising edge of the CL_DAT clock, as shown in Figure 17.
Figure 17. Synchronization of Data with Recovered Manchester Clock

If the pattern detection fails the internal wake-up (on all active channels) is terminated with no signal sent to MCU and the false wakeup register
will be incremented (R13<7:0>).
8.7 Wakeup Protocol - Carrier Frequency 125 kHz
The wake-up state is terminated with the direct command ‘clear_wake’ Table 12. This command terminates the MCU activity. The termination
can also be automatic in case there is no response from MCU. The time out for automatic termination is set in a register R7<7:5>, as shown in
the Table 20.

Without Pattern Detection (Manchester decoder disabled)
Figure 18. Wakeup Protocol Overview without Pattern Detection (only carrier frequency detection, Manchester decoder disabled)
In case the data correlation is disabled (R1<1>=0) the AS3932 wakes up upon detection of the carrier frequency only as shown in Figure 18. In
order to ensure that AS3932 wakes up the carrier burst has to last longer than 550 µs. To set AS3932 back to listening mode there are two
possibilities: either the microcontroller sends the direct command clear_wake via SDI or the time out option is used (R7<7:5>). In case the latter
is chosen, AS3932 is automatically set to listening mode after the time defined in T_OUT (R7<7:5>), counting starts at the low-to-high WAKE
edge on the WAKE pin.
8.7.2
Single Pattern Detection (Manchester decoder disabled)
The Figure 19 shows the wakeup protocol in case the pattern correlation is enabled (R1<1>=1) for a 125 kHz carrier frequency. The initial carrier
burst has to be longer than 550 µs and can last maximum 16 bits (see bit rate definition in Table 18). If the ON/OFF mode is used (R1<5>=1), the
minimum value of the maximum carrier burst duration is limited to 10 ms. This is summarized in Table 21. In case the carrier burst is too long the
internal wakeup will be set back to low and the false wakeup counter (R13<7:0>) will be incremented by one. The carrier burst must be followed
by a preamble (0101... modulated carrier with a bit duration defined in Table 18) and the wakeup pattern stored in the registers R5<7:0> and
R6<7:0>. The preamble must have at least 4 bits and the preamble duration together with the pattern should not be longer than 40 bits. If the
wakeup pattern is correct the signal on the WAKE pin is set to high and the data transmission can get started. To set the chip back to listening
mode the direct command clear_false, as well as the time out option (R7<7:5>) can be used.

Single Pattern Detection (Manchester decoder enabled)
The Figure shows the wakeup protocol in case both the pattern correlation and the Manchester decoder are enabled (R1<1>=1 and R1<3>=1)
for a 125 kHz carrier frequency. The initial carrier burst has to be at least 42 Manchester symbols long and has to be followed by a separation bit
(one bit of no-carrier). The carrier burst must be followed by a minimum 4 Manchester symbol preamble (10101010) and the pattern stored in the
R5<7:0> and R6<7:0>. The preamble can only be made up by integer Manchester symbol and the preamble duration together with the pattern
should not be longer than 40 bits. If the pattern is correct the signal on the WAKE pin is set to high, the data are internally decoded and the
Manchester clock is recovered. To set the AS3932 back to listening mode the direct command clear_false or the time out option (R7<7:5>) can
be used.
In case the On/OFF mode is enabled the Manchester decoder can not be used.
Figure 20. Wakeup Protocol Overview with Single Pattern Detection (Manchester decoder enabled)
8.8 False Wakeup Register
The wakeup strategy in the AS3932 is based on 2 steps:
1. Frequency Detection: in this phase the frequency of the received signal is checked.
2. Pattern Correlation: here the pattern is demodulated and checked whether it corresponds to the valid one.
If there is a disturber or noise capable to overcome the first step (frequency detection) without producing a valid pattern, then a false wakeup call
happens.Each time this event is recognized a counter is incremented by one and the respective counter value is stored in a memory cell (false
wakeup register). Thus, the microcontroller can periodically look at the false wakeup register, to get a feeling how noisy the surrounding
environment is and can then react accordingly (e.g. reducing the gain of the LNA during frequency detection, set the AS3932 temporarily to
power down etc.), as shown in the Figure 21. The false wakeup counter is a useful tool to quickly adapt the system to any changes in the noise
environment and thus avoid false wakeup events.

Description
Most wakeup receivers have to deal with environments that can rapidly change. By periodically monitoring the number of false wakeup events it
is possible to adapt the system setup to the actual characteristics of the environment and enables a better use of the full flexibility of AS3932.
Note: If the Manchester decoder is enabled, the false wakeup register is not able anymore to store the false wakeup events.

8.9 Real Time Clock (RTC)
The RTC can be based on a crystal oscillator (R1<0>=1), the internal RC-oscillator (R1<0>=0), or an external clock source (R1<0>=1). The
crystal oscillator has higher precision of the frequency with higher current consumption and needs three external components (crystal plus two
capacitors). The RC-oscillator is completely integrated and can be calibrated if a reference signal is available for a very short time to improve the
frequency accuracy. The calibration gets started with the trim_osc direct command. Since no non-volatile memory is available on the chip, the
calibration must be done every time after battery replacement. Since the RTC defines the time base of the frequency detection, the selected
frequency (frequency of the crystal oscillator or the reference frequency used for calibration of the RC oscillator) should be about one forth of the
carrier frequency:
FRTC ~ FCAR * 0.25
(EQ 1)
Where: FCAR is the carrier frequency and FRTC is the RTC frequency
The third option for the RTC is the use of an external clock source, which must be applied directly to the XIN pin (XOUT floating).

To trim the RC-Oscillator, set the chip select (CS) to high before sending the direct command trim_osc over SDI. Then 65 digital clock cycles of
the reference clock (e.g. 32.768 kHz) have to be sent on the clock bus (SCL), as shown in Figure 22. After that the signal on the chip select (CS)
has to be pulled down.
The calibration is effective after the 65th reference clock edge and it will be stored in a volatile memory. In case the RC-oscillator is switched off
or a power-on-reset happens (e.g. battery change) the calibration has to be repeated.

External Clock Source
To clock the AS3932 with an external signal the crystal oscillator has to be enabled (R1<1>=1). As shown in the Figure 3 the clock must be
applied on the pin XIN while the pin XOUT must stay floating. The RC time constant has to be 100μs with a tolerance of ±10% (e.g. R=680 kΩ
and C=22pF). In the Table 24 the clock characteristics are summarized.

8.10 Channel Selection in Scanning Mode and ON/OFF Mode
In case only 2 channels are active and one of the Low Power modes is enabled, then the channels 1 and 3 have to be active. If the chip works in
On-Off mode and only one channel is active then the active channel has to be the channel 1.
Both Low Power modes are not allowed to be enabled at the same time.
