Multi-Channel Narrowband FSK Transmitter
AS3977
PRODUCT BRIEF
1. General Description
3. Main Characteristics
The AS3977 is a low-power fully integrated ETSI, FCC
and ARIB compliant FSK transmitter capable of operating
at any ISM frequency in the range of 300 to 928 MHz. It is
based on a sigma-delta controlled fractional-N synthesiser
phase locked loop with fully integrated voltage controlled
oscillator. The power amplifier output is programmable
and can deliver output power ranging from –20dBm up to
+10dBm. An on-chip low drop-out regulator is available in
case an accurate output power independent of voltage
supply variation is required.
The output signal can be shaped using a programmable
Gaussian filter to minimise the occupied bandwidth and
adjacent channel power. The maximum data rate can be
up to 100 kb/s – depending on the required filtering.
The FSK frequency deviation is programmable up to a
maximum of 64kHz.
The crystal oscillator can handle a wide range of
frequencies. For narrow-band applications a temperature
sensor with digital read-out is included that allows
compensation of the crystal frequency drift due to
temperature variation.
The AS3977 is connected to an external microcontroller
via a bi-directional digital interface. The device operates
at very low current consumption with a power supply
range from 2.0V to 3.6V and can be powered down when
not in use.
The device is fabricated in austriamicroystems advanced
0.35um SiGe-BiCMOS technology.
