General Description
1.1
Introduction
The Atmel® ATA8520D is a highly integrated, low-power RF transceiver with an integrated AVR® microcontroller for
applications using the wide area SIGFOX™ network
The Atmel ATA8520D is partitioned into three sections: an RF front end, a digital baseband and the low-power 8-bit AVR
microcontroller. The product is designed for the ISM frequency band in the range of 868.0MHz to 868.6MHz and 869.4 to
869.65MHz. The external part count is kept to a minimum due to the very high level of integration in this device. By
combining outstanding RF performance with highly sophisticated baseband signal processing, robust wireless
communication can be easily achieved. The transmit path uses a closed loop fractional-N modulator.
The SPI interface enables external control and device configuration.

Figure 1-1 shows an overview of the main functional blocks of the Atmel ATA8520D. External control of the Atmel
ATA8520D is performed through the SPI pins SCK, MOSI, MISO, and NSS. The functionality of the device is defined by the
internal firmware and processed by the AVR. SPI commands are used to control the device and to start the data telegram
transmission. The end of the telegram transmission is signaled to an external microcontroller on pin 28 (PB6/EVENT).
It is important to note that all PWRON and NPWRON pins (PC1..5, PB4, PB7) are active in OFF mode. This means that
even if the Atmel ATA8520D is in OFF mode and the DVCC voltage is switched off, the power management circuitry within
the Atmel ATA8520D biases these pins with VS.
The AVR microcontroller ports can be used as button inputs, LED drivers, EVENT pin, general purpose digital inputs, or
wake-up inputs, etc. Functionality of these ports is already implemented in the firmware.

Figure 1-3 shows a typical application circuit with an external host microcontroller operating from a 3V lithium cell. The Atmel
ATA8520D stays in OFFMode until NPWRON1 (PC1) is used to wake it up. In OFFMode the Atmel ATA8520D draws
typically less than 5nA at 25°C.
In OFFMode all Atmel ATA8520D AVR® ports PB0..PB7 and PC0..PC5 are switched to input. PC0..PC5 and PB7 have
internal pull-up resistors ensuring that the voltage at these ports is VS. PB0..PB6 are tri-state inputs and require additional
consideration. PB1, PB2, and PB5 have defined voltages since they are connected to the output of the external
microcontroller. PB4 is connected to ground to avoid unwanted power-ups. PB0, PB3 and PB6 do not require external
circuitry since the internal circuit avoids transverse currents in OFFMode. The external microcontroller has to tolerate the
floating inputs. Otherwise additional pull-down resistors are required on these floating lines.
Typically, the Atmel ATA8520D wake-up is done by pulling NPWRON1 (pin 15) to ground.
RF_OUT is matched with C1/L1 for 50 antenna connection and RF_IN with the components C7/L2. The internal SPDT
switch uses SPDT_RX for receive and SPDT_TX for transmit connection with SPDT_ANT to be connected to the external
50 antenna. The RF filter is required to suppress unwanted side and spurious emissions. The design of this filter depends
on the final PCB and system layout and is subject to SIGFOX and ETSI certification procedures.
Together with the fractional-N PLL within the Atmel ATA8520D, an external crystal is used to set the Tx and Rx frequency.
Accurate load capacitors for this crystal are integrated to reduce the system part count and cost. Only four supply blocking
capacitors are needed to decouple the different supply voltages AVCC, DVCC, VS, and VS_PA of the Atmel ATA8520D.
The exposed die pad is the RF and analog ground of the Atmel ATA8520D. It is connected directly to AGND via a fused
lead. The Atmel ATA8520D is controlled using specific SPI commands via the SPI interface.

Figure 1-4 shows an alternative for the usage of external filter and amplifier components using a front-end-module. This FEM
typically includes an antenna switch, a LNA for the receive direction and a PA for the transmit connection in one device. The
RX and TX filters are additional to increase out-of-band jamming immunity in receive direction and to reduce spurious
emissions in transmit direction. For these filters SAW components are typically used. The pins PB0 and PB7 can be used to
control the FEM or the unused internal SPDT switch which is controlled by the Atmel® ATA8520D for transmit and receive
operation.
Applications which are not using the receive function can connect the antenna to RF_OUT without using the internal SPDT
switch. The receive and SPDT pins are then connected to GND.

Figure 1-5 shows a typical application circuit with an external host microcontroller operating from a 5V supply. This
application differs from the 3V supply mode that VS is not connected to VS_PA. Instead an internal LDO must be activated
using the SPI command “Write System Configuration” (0x11) after powering the device and before transmitting a data
telegram.

System Functional Description
2.1
SPI Command Interface
The SPI command interface requires a timing setup as described in the following section and provides a set of commands to
control the operation of the Atmel® ATA8520D device. The SPI transmission occurs with MSB first.
2.1.1
SPI Timing
The SPI communication requires a special timing to prevent data corruption. The SPI peripheral uses a SCK frequency of
125kHz for the bit transmission and requires timing delays between the CS signals and the start and stop of the SPI
communication as shown in Figure 2-1.

2.1.2
SPI Command Set
The following SPI commands are available to control the Atmel ATA8520D operation from a host microcontroller.
2.1.2.1 System Reset
This command uses the system internal WDT to do a complete hardware reset of the Atmel ATA8520D. Resetting the
device takes ~10ms.Afterwards the system restarts and generates an event on the EVENT signal after ~10ms. This event
will be cleared with the “Get Status” SPI command (0x0A).

System and Pin Configuration
This section specifies the system configuration settings used in the SPI RF transmit command (0x11). This system
configuration has to be set after the system issues a system ready event and before using any other SPI command. The
settings are stored in the internal EEPROM and will be applied after a system reset. This settings are typically applied at the
EOL testing in the factory. Table 2-2 summarizes the configuration settings.

For an additional front-end-module, which includes an antenna switch, a low-noise amplifier for downlink operation and a
power amplifier for uplink operation, two control signals are available at the port pins PB0 and PB7. These pins are
controlled by the Atmel® ATA8520D device during transmission and reception of a RF data telegram. Table 2-3 summarizes
the function of these pins.

In case the internal SPDT switch is not used for RF control this switch can be used in addition to control an external FEM.
During uplink operation the path between pins SPDT_ANT and SPDT_TX is closed and for downlink operation the path
between pins SPDT_ANT and SPDT_RX is closed.
Caution:
2.2
The device is delivered with default configuration, i.e. with 3V supply mode enabled. When using the device
with 5V supply it has to be ensured that before using the RF transmit operation the 5V supply mode is
configured!
Operating Modes Overview
This section gives an overview of the operating modes supported by the Atmel ATA8520D.
After connecting the supply voltage to the VS pin, the Atmel ATA8520D always starts in OFF mode. All internal circuits are
disconnected from the power supply. Therefore, no SPI communication is supported. The Atmel ATA8520D can be woken
up by activating the PWRON pin or one of the NPWRONx pins. This triggers the power-on sequence which will set the event
line PB6 to low. After the system initialization the Atmel ATA8520D reaches the IDLE Mode.
The IDLE Mode is the basic system mode supporting SPI communication and transitions to the other operating modes.
The transmit mode (TX Mode) starts the data transmission using the payload data which has to be previously written into the
TX buffer with the SPI command “Write TX Buffer”. The data transmission is started with the SPI command “Send Frame”.
After transmitting the data frame, the end of the transmission is indicated when the event pin PB6 switches to low and the
device enters the IDLE Mode again.
Reading the device status with the “Get Status” SPI command clears the PB6 event line, setting it to high level again.
The transmit/receive mode (TX/RX Mode) will send at first a data telegram in uplink direction and then enter receive mode
for downlink direction. The downlink request is captured by the SIGFOX™ backend and processed. After transmission of the
uplink frame the device will wait for 20 seconds before entering the receive mode. This receive mode will take up to
30 seconds and will end with an event on pin PB6. This event is cleared when reading the device status with the SPI
command “Get Status”. If no error occurs during the downlink operation (Atmel status error code = 0000), the received data
telegram of 8 bytes can be read with the SPI command “Read RX Buffer”.

2.2.1
Power-up Sequence
This section describes the power-up sequence for the device as described in Figure 2-2. The device is usually in OFF mode
were the signals NPWRONx, PWRON and NRESET are inactive but VS is supplied with power. Switching the NRESET
signal active or sending the SPI command System Reset (0x01) will have no effect in OFF mode. Switching one of the
power-on pins active will wake-up the device and an internal power-on reset is performed. In addition the external NRESET
line can be used to keep the device in reset state when waking-up the device. The minimum activation time for the
NPWRONx, PWRON and NRESET signals is 10µs.

EVENT

After applying the reset signal NRESET one of the power-up signals NPWRON1...6 or PWRON is applied at timing point T1.
At timing point T2 (~10µs after T1) the external reset signal is removed and the device starts its internal power-up sequence.
This internal sequence is finished at timing point T3 (~10ms after T2) and is signaled with the event line. Reading the device
status with the SPI command (0x0A) “Get status” will clear the event line at timing point T4. The device is now in idle mode
and operational even if the NPWRONx and PWRON signals are deactivated.
To shutdown the device into OFF mode the power-up signals NPWRON1...6 or PWRON have to be deactivated at first
(shown in timing point T5). The shutdown into OFF mode is then performed by sending the SPI command (0x05) “OFF
mode” to the device.
2.2.2
Application Example
The software to control the device and to transmit only a data frame (without reception) has to perform the following steps:
1. Initialize device as shown in Figure 2-2 for the power-up sequence
16
2.
Check for the startup event and read the device status with SPI command (0x0A) “Get status” to clear this event
3.
Load the transmit buffer with up to 12 bytes using the SPI command (0x07) “Write TX Buffer”
4.
Start the data transmit with SPI command (0x0D) “Send Frame”
5.
Wait until the event signal appears (this takes about 7-8 seconds)
6.
Read the device status with SPI command (0x0A) “Get status” to clear this event
7.
Switch off the power-on signals as shown in Figure 2-2
8.
Send the SPI command (0x05) “OFF mode” to the shutdown the device
