VCC TRANSCEIVERS 11 11-134 Rev B2 010118 RF2917 RF2917 Theory of Operation and Application Information FM/FSK SYSTEMS The receiver output functionality is determined by the tri-state MUTE input. The three output configurations are linear FM, FSK and mute. An on-chip 1.6MHz RC filter, which follows the demodulator output, filters the harmonics of the IF signal from the output data. When in the FM mode, the FM OUT signal is the buffered output from the quadrature demodulator. The output signal has a fixed DC offset of VCC -1.0V, while the AC level is dependent on the FM deviation, with a maximum level of 240mVP-P. For optimum operation in either FM or FSK mode, FM deviation needs to exceed (with margin) the carrier frequency error anticipated between the receiver and transmitter. When in the FSK mode, the FM OUT signal is clipped, having a rail-to-rail output level. The FM OUT pin is only capable of driving rail-to-rail output into a very high impedance and small capacitance, with the amount of capacitance determining the FM OUT bandwidth. For a 3pF load, the bandwidth is in excess of 500kHz. The rail-to-rail output is also limited by the frequency deviation and bandwidth of the IF filters. With the 180kHz bandwidth filters on the evaluation boards, the rail-to-rail output is limited to less than 140kHz. Choosing the right IF bandwidth and deviation versus data rate (modulation index) is important in evaluating the applicability of the RF2917 for a given data rate. Rev B2 010118 AM SYSTEMS The RF2919 is recommended for use in ASK/OOK applications, however, the RF2917 may be utilized in an AM system by using the RSSI (received signal strength indicator) output to recover the modulation. The FM output mode should be selected for AM operation because of the higher RSSI resolution in FM mode. RSSI The RSSI output signal is supplied from a current source and therefore requires a resistor to convert it to a voltage. The RSSI is linear over the same range of input power for both FM and FSK modes, but the FM mode has higher RSSI resolution. For a 51kΩ resistive load, the RSSI will range from 1.0V to 2.6V in FM mode and from 0.8V to 1.5V in FSK mode (3.6V supply). A small parallel capacitor is suggested to limit the bandwidth and filter noise. APPLICATION AND LAYOUT CONSIDERATIONS The RX IN pin is DC-biased, requiring a DC blocking capacitor. If the RF filter has DC blocking characteristics, such as a ceramic dielectric filter, then a DC blocking capacitor is not necessary. When in power down mode, the RX IN impedance increases. Therefore, in a half-duplex application, the RF2917 RX IN may share the RF filter with a transmitter output having a similar high impedance power down characteristic. Care must be taken in this case to account for loading effects of the transmitter on the receiver, and vice versa, in matching the filter to both the transmitter and receiver. The VCO is a very sensitive block in this system. RF signals feeding back into the VCO by either radiation or coupling of traces may cause the PLL to become unlocked. The trace(s) for the anode of the tuning varactor should also be kept short. The layout of the resonators and varactor are very important. The capacitor and varactor should be closest to the RF2917 pins and the trace length should be as short as possible. The inductors can be placed further away and any trace inductance can be compensated by reducing the value of the inductors. Printed inductors may also be used with careful design. For best results, the physical layout should be as symmetrical as possible. When using loop bandwidths lower than the 5kHz shown on the evaluation board, better supply filtering at the resonators (and lower VCC noise as well) will help reduce the phase noise of the VCO; a series resistor of 100Ω to 200Ω and a 1µF or larger capacitor 11-135 11 TRANSCEIVERS The RF2917 is part of a family of low-power RF transceiver IC’s developed for wireless data communication devices operating in the European 433/868MHz ISM bands or the U.S. 915MHz ISM band. This IC has been implemented in a 15GHz silicon bipolar process technology that allows low-power transceiver operation in a variety of commercial wireless products. The RF2917 realizes a highly integrated, single-conversion FM/FSK receiver with the addition of a reference crystal, intermediate frequency (IF) filtering, and a few passive components. The LNA (low noise amplifier) input of the RF2917 is easily matched to a front-end filter or antenna by means of a DC blocking capacitor and reactive components. The receiver local oscillator (LO) is generated by an internalized VCO, PLL and phase discriminator in conjunction with the external reference crystal, loop filter and VCO resonator components. The receiver IF section is optimized to interface with low cost 10.7MHz ceramic filters, and its -3dB bandwidth of 25MHz also allows it to be used (with lower gain) at higher frequencies with other types of filters. RF2917 may be used. Phase noise is generally more critical in narrowband applications where adjacent channel selectivity is a concern, but it can also contribute to raising the noise floor of the receiver, thereby degrading sensitivity. For the interface between the LNA and mixer, the coupling capacitor should be as close to the RF2917 pins as possible, with the bias inductor being further away. Once again, the value of the inductor may be changed to compensate for trace inductance. The output impedance of the LNA is on the order of several kΩ, which makes matching to 50Ω difficult. If image filtering is desired, a high impedance filter is recommended. If no filtering is used, the match to the mixer input need not be a good conjugate match, because of the high gain of the IF amplifier stages. In fact, a conjugate match between the LNA and mixer will not significantly improve sensitivity, but will have an adverse effect on system IIP3 and increase the likelihood of IF instability. Because of the high gain of the IF section, care should be taken in laying out the IF filtering and discriminator components to minimize the possibility of instability. In particular, inductive feedback may occur between the inductor of a discrete (LC) discriminator and any inductor(s) in the IF interstages. Orthogonal placement of inductors will generally minimize coupling. Indicators that an instability may exist include poor sensitivity and a high RSSI level when no input signal is present. TRANSCEIVERS 11 The quadrature tank of the discriminator may be implemented with ceramic discriminators available from a variety of sources. This design works well for wideband applications, and where the temperature range is limited. The temperature coefficient of a ceramic discriminator may be on the order of +50ppm/°C. An automatic frequency control loop may be implemented using the DC level of the FM OUT for feedback to an external varactor on the reference crystal. An alternative to the ceramic discriminator is an LC tank. The DEMOD IN pin has a DC bias and must be DC-blocked. This can be done either at the pin or at the ground side of the LC tank (this must also be done if a parallel resistor is used with a ceramic discriminator). The decision whether to use an LC or a ceramic discriminator should be based on the frequency deviation in the system, discriminator Q needed, and frequency and temperature tolerances. Tuning of the LC tank is required to overcome the component tolerances in the tank. 11-136 PREDICTING AND MINIMIZING PLL LOCK TIME The RF2917 implements a conventional on-chip PLL. The VCO is followed by a prescaler, which divides down the output frequency for comparison with the reference oscillator frequency. The output of the phase discriminator is a sequence of pulse width modulated current pulses in the required direction to steer the VCO’s control voltage to maintain phase lock, with a loop filter integrating the current pulses. The lock time of this PLL is a combination of the loop transient response time and the slew rate set by the phase discriminator output current, combined with the magnitude of the loop filter capacitance. A good approximation for total lock time of the RF2917 is: D LockTime = ------- + 35000 ⋅ C ⋅ dV FC where D is a factor to account for the loop damping, FC is the loop cut frequency, C is the sum of all shunt capacitors in the loop filter, and dV is the required step voltage change to produce the desired frequency change during the transient. For loops with low phase margin (30° to 40°), use D=2, whereas for loops with better phase margin (50° to 60°), use D=1. To lock faster, C needs to be minimized. 1. Design the loop filter for the minimum phase margin possible without causing loop instability problems; this allows C to be kept at a minimum. 2. Design the loop filter for the highest loop cut frequency possible without distorting low frequency modulation components; this also allows C to be kept at a minimum.
