The IC combines a very high level of integration and minimum external part count. The device contains a low noise amplifier (LNA), a double balanced mixer, a fully integrated VCO, a PLL synthesizer, a crystal oscillator with FSK modulator, a limiter with RSSI generator, an FSK demodulator, a data filter, a data comparator (slicer), a positive and a negative data peak detector, a highly efficient power amplifier and a complex digital timing and control unit with I2C/3-wire microcontroller interface. Additionally there is a power down feature to save battery power. The transmit section uses direct ASK modulation by switching the power amplifier, and crystal oscillator detuning for FSK modulation. The necessary detuning load capacitors are external. The capacitors for fine tuning are integrated. The receive section is using a novel single-conversion/ direct-conversion scheme that is combining the advantages of both receive topologies. The IF is contained on the chip, no RF channel filters are necessary as the channel filter is also on the chip. The self-polling logic can be used to let the device operate autonomously as a master for a decoding microcontroller. 1.2 Features ■ Low supply current (Is = 9 mA typ. receive, Is = 12mA typ. transmit

It can be used in either high or low power mode. In high-power mode the transmit power is approximately +13dBm into 50 Ohm at 5V and +4dBm at 2.1V supply voltage. In low power mode the transmit power is approximately -7dBm at 5V and 32dBm at 2.1V supply voltage using the same matching network. The transmit power is controlled by the D0-bit of the CONFIG register (subaddress 00H) as shown in the following Table 2-2. The default output power mode is high power mode. Table 2-2 Bit D0 Sub Address 00H: CONFIG Function Description PA_PWR 0= low TX Power, 1= high TX Power Default 1 In case of ASK modulation the power amplifier is turned fully on and off by the transmit baseband data, i.e. 100% On-Off-Keying. 2.4.2 Low Noise Amplifier (LNA) The LNA is an on-chip cascode amplifier with a voltage gain of 15 to 20dB and symmetrical inputs. It is possible to reduce the gain to 0 dB via logic. Table 2-3 Bit D4 2.4.3 Sub Address 00H: CONFIG Function Description LNA_GAIN 0= low Gain, 1= high Gain Default 1 Downconverter 1st Mixer The Double Balanced 1st Mixer converts the input frequency (RF) in the range of 868-870 MHz down to the intermediate frequency (IF) at approximately 290MHz. The local oscillator frequency is generated by the PLL synthesizer that is fully implemented on-chip as described in Section 2.4.5. This local oscillator operates at approximately 1157MHz in receive mode providing the above mentioned IF frequency of 290MHz. The mixer is followed by a low pass filter with a corner frequency of approximately 350MHz in order to prevent RF and LO signals from appearing in the 290MHz IF signal. 2.4.4 Downconverter 2nd I/Q Mixers The Low pass filter is followed by 2 mixers (inphase I and quadrature Q) that convert the 289MHz IF signal down to zero-IF. These two mixers are driven by a signal that is generated by dividing the local oscillator signal by 4, thus equalling the IF frequency. Data Sheet 19 2007-02-26 TDA5250 D2 Version 1.7 Functional Description 2.4.5 PLL Synthesizer The Phase Locked Loop synthesizer consists of two VCOs (i.e. transmit and receive VCO), a divider by 4, an asynchronous divider chain with selectable overall division ratio, a phase detector with charge pump and a loop filter and is fully implemented on-chip. The VCOs are including spiral inductors and varactor diodes. The center frequency of the transmit VCO is 868MHz, the center frequency of the receive VCO is 1156MHz. Generally in receive mode the relationship between local oscillator frequency fosc, the receive RF frequency fRF and the IF frequency fIF and thus the frequency that is applied to the I/Q Mixers is given in the following formula: fosc = 4/3 fRF = 4 fIF [2 – 1] The VCO signal is applied to a divider by 4 which is producing approximately 289MHz signals in quadrature. The overall division ratio of the divider chain following the divider by 4 is 12 in transmit mode and 16 in receive mode as the nominal crystal oscillator frequency is 18.083MHz. The division ratio is controlled by the RxTx pin (pin 5) and the D10 bit in the CONFIG register. 2.4.6 I/Q Filters The I/Q IF to zero-IF mixers are followed by baseband 6th order low pass filters that are used for RF-channel filtering. OP INTERNAL BUS iq_filter.wmf Figure 2-3 One I/Q Filter stage The bandwidth of the filters is controlled by the values set in the filter-register. It can be adjusted between 50 and 350kHz in 50kHz steps via the bits D1 to D3 of the LPF register (subaddress 03H). 2.4.7 I/Q Limiters The I/Q Limiters are DC coupled multistage amplifiers with offset-compensating feedback circuit and an overall gain of approximately 80dB each in the frequency range of 100Hz up to 350kHz. Receive Signal Strength Indicator (RSSI) generators are included in both limiters which produce DC voltages that are directly proportional to the input signal level in the respective channels. The resulting I- and Q-channel RSSI-signals are summed to the nominal RSSI signal. Data Sheet 20 2007-02-26 TDA5250 D2 Version 1.7 Functional Description 2.4.8 FSK Demodulator The output differential signals of the I/Q limiters are fed to a quadrature correlator circuit that is used to demodulate frequency shift keyed (FSK) signals. The demodulator gain is 2.4mV/kHz, the maximum frequency deviation is ±300kHz as shown in Figure 2-4 below. The demodulated signal is applied to the ASK/FSK mode switch which is connected to the input of the data filter. The switch can be controlled by the ASKFSK pin (pin 4) and via the D11 bit in the CONFIG register. The modulation index m must be significantly larger than 2 and the deviation at least larger than 25kHz for correct demodulation of the signal. 1,6 1,5 1,4 1,3 U /V 1,2 1,1 1 0,9 0,8 0,7 0,6 0,5 -350 -300 -250 -200 -150 -100 -50 0 50 100 150 200 250 300 350 f /kHz Qaudricorrelator.wmf Figure 2-4 2.4.9 Quadricorrelator Demodulation Characteristic Data Filter The 2-pole data filter has a Sallen-Key architecture and is implemented fully on-chip.

The self-adjusting threshold is generated by a RC-network (LPF) or by use of one or both peak detectors depending on the baseband coding scheme as described in Section 3.6. This can be controlled by the D15 bit of the CONFIG register as shown in the following table. Table 2-4 Bit D15 2.4.11 Sub Address 00H: CONFIG Function Description SLICER 0= Lowpass Filter, 1= Peak Detector Default 0 Peak Detectors Two separate Peak Detectors are available. They are generating DC voltages in a fast-attack and slow-release manner that are proportional to the positive and negative peak voltages appearing in the data signal. These voltages may be used to generate a threshold voltage for non-Manchester encoded signals, for example. The time-constant of the fast-attack/slow-release action is determined by the RC network with external capacitor. 2.4.12 Crystal Oscillator The reference oscillator is an NIC oscillator type (Negative Impedance Converter) with a crystal operating in serial resonance. The nominal operating frequency of 18.083MHz and the frequencies for FSK modulation can be adjusted via 3 external capacitors. Via microcontroller and bus interface the chip-internal capacitors can be used for finetuning of the nominal and the FSK modulation frequencies. This finetuning of the crystal oscillator allows to eliminate frequency errors due to crystal or component tolerances. 2.4.13 Bandgap Reference Circuitry & Powerdown A Bandgap Reference Circuit provides a temperature stable 1.2V reference voltage for the device. A power down mode is available to switch off all subcircuits that are controlled by the bidirectional Powerdown&DataDetect PwdDD pin (pin 27) as shown in the following table. Powerdown mode can either be activated by pin 27 or bit D14 in register 00h. In powerdown mode also pin 28 (DATA) is affected (see Section 2.4.17).

It is possible to set the device in three different modes: Slave Mode, Self Polling Mode and Timer Mode. This is done by a state machine which is implemented in the WAKEUP LOGIC unit. A detailed description is given in Section 2.4.16. Data Sheet 23 2007-02-26 TDA5250 D2 Version 1.7 Functional Description The DATA VALID DETECTOR contains a frequency window counter and an RSSI threshold comparator. The window counter uses the incoming data signal from the data slicer as the gating signal and the crystal oscillator frequency as the timebase to determine the actual datarate. The result is compared with the expected datarate. The threshold comparator compares the actual RSSI level with the expected RSSI level. If both conditions are true the PwdDD pin is set to LOW in self polling mode as you can see in Section 2.4.16. This signal can be used as an interrupt for an external µP. Because the PwdDD pin is bidirectional and open drain driven by an internal pull-up resistor it is possible to apply an external LOW thus enabling the device. 2.4.15 Bus Interface and Register Definition The TDA5250 supports the I2C bus protocol (2 wire) and a 3-wire bus protocol. Operation is selectable by the BusMode pin (pin 2) as shown in the following table. All bus pins (BusData, BusCLK, EN, BusMode) have a Schmitt-triggered input stage. The BusData pin is bidirectional where the output is open drain driven by an internal 15kΩ pull up resistor. Table 2-6 Bus Interface Format Function BusMode 2 Low I C Mode 3-wire Mode High EN High= inactive, Low= active BusCLK Clock input BusData Data in/out BusData 17 EN 24 FRONTEND 16 BusCLK I2C / 3-wire INTERFACE INTERNAL BUS BusMode 2 11100000 CHIP ADDRESS i2c_3w_bus.wmf Figure 2-7 Bus Interface Note: The Interface is able to access the internal registers at any time, even in POWER DOWN mode. There is no internal clock necessary for Interface operation. I2C Bus Mode In this mode the BusMode pin (pin 2) = LOW and the EN pin (pin 24) = LOW. Data Sheet 24 2007-02-26 TDA5250 D2 Version 1.7 Functional Description Data Transition: Data transition on the pin BusData can only occur when BusCLK is LOW. BusData transitions while BusCLK is HIGH will be interpreted as start or stop condition. Start Condition (STA): A start condition is defined by a HIGH to LOW transition of the BusData line while BusCLK is HIGH. This start condition must precede any command and initiate a data transfer onto the bus. Stop Condition (STO): A stop condition is defined by a LOW to HIGH transition of the BusData line while BusCLK is HIGH. This condition terminates the communication between the devices and forces the bus interface into the initial state. Acknowledge (ACK): Indicates a successful data transfer. The transmitter will release the bus after sending 8 bit of data. During the 9th clock cycle the receiver will set the SDA line to LOW level to indicate it has received the 8 bits of data correctly. Data Transfer Write Mode: To start the communication, the bus master must initiate a start condition (STA), followed by the 8bit chip address. The chip address for the TDA5250 is fixed as „1110000“ (MSB at first). The last bit (LSB=A0) of the chip address byte defines the type of operation to be performed: A0=0, a write operation is selected and A0=1 a read operation is selected. After this comparison the TDA5250 will generate an ACK and awaits the desired sub address byte (00H...0FH) and data bytes. At the end of the data transition the master has to generate the stop condition (STO). Data Transfer Read Mode: To start the communication in the read mode, the bus master must initiate a start condition (STA), followed by the 8 bit chip address (write: A0=0), followed by the sub address to read (80H, 81H), followed by the chip address (read: A0=1). After that procedure the data of the selected register (80H, 81H) is read out. During this time the data line has to be kept in HIGH state and the chip sends out the data. At the end of data transition the master has to generate the stop condition (STO).

Pin 24 (EN) is used to activate the bus interface to allow the transfer of data to / from the device. When pin 24 (EN) is inactive (HIGH), data transfer is inhibited. Data Transition: Data transition on pin 16 (BusData) can only occur if the clock BusCLK is LOW. To perform a data transfer the interface has to be enabled. This is done by setting the EN line to LOW. A serial transfer is done via BusData, BusCLK and EN. The bit stream needs no chip address. Data Transfer Write Mode: To start the communication the EN line has to be set to LOW. The desired sub address byte and data bytes have to follow. The subaddress (00H...0FH) determines which of the data bytes are transmitted. At the end of data transition the EN must be HIGH. Data transfer Read Mode: To start the communication in the read mode, the EN line has to be set to LOW followed by the sub address to read (80H, 81H). Afterwards the device is ready to read out data. At the end of data transition EN must be HIGH.

SELF POLLING MODE: The chip turns itself on periodically to receive using a built-in 32kHz RC oscillator. The timing of this is determined by the ON_TIME and OFF_TIME registers, the duty cycle can be set between 0 and 100% in 31.25µs increments.

In self polling mode if D9=0 (Register 00h) and when PwdDD pin level is HIGH the CLK output is on during ON time and off during OFF time. If D9=1, the CLK output is always on.

The time base is the 32 kHz RC oscillator. After the first POWER ON or RESET a 1 MHz clock is available at the clock output pin. This clock output can be used by an external µP to set the system into the desired state and outputs valid data after 500 µs (see Figure 2-15 and Figure 2-16, tCLKSU) There are two possibilities to start the device after a reset or first power on: − PWDDD pin is LOW: Normal operation timing is performed after tSYSSU (see Figure 2-15). − PWDDD pin is HIGH (device in power down mode): A clock is offered at the clock output pin until the device is activated (PWDDD pin is pulled to LOW). After the first activation the time tSYSSU is required until normal operation timing is performed (see Figure 2-16 ). This could be used to extend the clock generation without device programming or activation. Note: It is required to activate the device for the duration of tSYSSU after first power on or a reset. Only if this is done the normal operation timing is performed. Data Sheet 34 2007-02-26 TDA5250 D2 Version 1.7 Functional Description With default settings the clock generating units are disabled during PD, therefore no clock is available at the clock output pin.

Note: As shown in Section 2.4.18 there is a setup time of 2.6ms after RX activating. Thus the measurement of RSSI voltage does only make sense after this setup time. Data Sheet 38 2007-02-26 TDA5250 D2 Version 1.7 Application 3 Application 3.1 LNA and PA Matching 3.1.1 RX/TX Switch VCC C5 L1 50 Ohm SMA-connector D1 C1 C2 L2 C3 R1 PA C4 C7 C9 LNI D2 L3 C10 LNIX TDA5250 RF I/O RX/TX RX/TX C6 RX/TX_Switch.wmf Figure 3-1 RX/TX Switch The RX/TX-switch combines the PA-output and the LNA-input into a single 50 Ohm SMAconnector. Two pin-diodes are used as switching elements. If no current flows through a pin diode, it works as a high impedance for RF with very low capacitance. If the pin-diode is forward biased, it provides a low impedance path for RF. (some Ω) 3.1.2 Switch in RX-Mode The RX/TX-switch is set to the receive mode by either applying a high level or an open to the RX/ TX-jumper on the evalboard or by leaving it open. Then both pin-diodes are not biased and therefore have a high impedance. Data Sheet 39 2007-02-26 TDA5250 D2 Version 1.7 Application VCC C5 L1 50 Ohm SMA-connector C1 C2 L2 R1 C3 PA C4 C7 C9 LNI L3 C10 LNIX TDA5250 RF I/O RX/TX open or VCC RX/TX C6 RX_Mode.wmf Figure 3-2 RX-Mode The RF-signal is able to run from the RF-input-SMA-connector to the LNA-input-pin LNI via C1, C2, C7, L3 and C9. R1 does not affect the matching circuit due to its high resistance. The other input of the differential LNA LNIX can always be AC-grounded using a large capacitor without any loss of performance. In this case the differential LNA can be used as a single ended LNA, which is easier to match. The S11 of the LNA at pin LNI on the evalboard is 0.945 / -47° (equals a resistor of 1.43kOhm in parallel to a capacitor of 1.6pF) for both high and low-gain-mode of the LNA. (pin LNIX AC-grounded) This impedance has to be matched to 50 Ohm with the parts C9, L3, C7 and C2. C1 is DC-decoupling-capacitor. On the evalboard the most important matching components are (shunt) L3 and (series) C2. The capacitors C7 and C9 are mainly DC-decoupling-capacitors and may be used for some fine tuning of the matching circuit. A good CAE tool (featuring smith-chart) may be used for the calculation of the values of the components. However, the final values of the matching components always have to be found on the board because of the parasitics of the board, which highly influence the matching circuit at RF. Data Sheet 40 2007-02-26 TDA5250 D2 Version 1.7 Application Measured Magnitude of S11 of evalboard: S11_measured.pcx. Figure 3-3 S11 measured Above you can see the measured S11 of the evalboard. The –3dB-points are at 810MHz and 930MHz. So the 3dB-bandwidth is: B = f U − f L = 930MHz − 810MHz = 120MHz The loadedf Q of the868 resonant ,3MHz circuit is: QL = center B = 120 MHz = 7 .2 [3 – 1] [3 – 2] The unloaded Q of the resonant circuit is equal to the Q of the inductor due to its losses. [3 – 3] QU = QINDUCTOR ≈ 36 @ 868MHz An approximation of the losses of the input matching network can be made with the formula: Q Loss = −20 ∗ log1 − L QU 7 .2 = −20 ∗ log1 − = 2dB 36 [3 – 4] The noise figure of the LNA-input-matching network is equal to its losses. The input matching network is always a compromise of sensitivity and selectivity. The loaded Q should not get too high because of 2 reasons: more losses in the matching network and hence less sensitivity Data Sheet 41 2007-02-26 TDA5250 D2 Version 1.7 Application tolerances of components affect matching too much. This will cause problems in a tuning-free mass production of the application. A good CAE-tool will help to see the effects of component tolerances on the input matching more accurate by tweaking each value. A very high selectivity can be reached by using SAW-filters at the expense of higher cost and lower sensitivity which will be reduced by the losses of the SAW-Filter of approx. 4dB. Image-suppression: Due to the quite high 1st-IF of the frontend, the image frequency is quite far away. The image frequency of the receiver is at: f IMAGE = f SIGNAL + 2 ∗ f IF = 868.3MHz + 2 * 289.4 = 1447.2MHz [3 – 5] The image suppression on the evalboard is about 16dB. LO-leakage: The LO of the 1st Mixer is at: f LO = f RECEIVE * 4 4 = 868.3MHz ∗ = 1157.73MHz 3 3 [3 – 6] The LO-leakage of the evalboard on the RF-input is about –98dBm. This is far below the ETSIradio-regulation-limit for LO-leakage. 3.1.3 Switch in TX-Mode The evalboard can be set into the TX-Mode by grounding the RX/TX-jumper on the evalboard or programming the TDA5250 to operate in the TX-Mode. If the IC is programmed to operate in the TX-Mode, the RX/TX-pin will act as an open drain output at a logical LOW. Then a DC-current can flow from VCC to GND via L1, L2, D1, R1 and D2. I PIN − DIODE = Vcc − 2 ∗ V FORWARD , PIN − DIODE [3 – 7] R1 Now both pin-diodes are biased with a current of approx. 0.3mA@3V and have a very low impedance for RF.

The PA-matching consists of C2, C3 L2, C4 and L1. When designing the matching of the PA, C2 must not be changed anymore because its value is already fixed by the LNA-input-matching. Data Sheet 43 2007-02-26 TDA5250 D2 Version 1.7 Application 3.1.4 Power-Amplifier The power amplifier operates in a high efficient class C mode. This mode is characterized by a pulsed operation of the power amplifier transistor at a current flow angle of θ<<π. A frequency selective network at the amplifier output passes the fundamental frequency component of the pulse spectrum of the collector current to the load. The load and its resonance transformation to the collector of the power amplifier can be generalized by the equivalent circuit of Figure 3-6. The tank circuit L//C//RL in parallel to the output impedance of the transistor should be in resonance at the operating frequency of the transmitter. VS L C RL Equivalent_power_wmf. Figure 3-6 Equivalent power amplifier tank circuit The optimum load at the collector of the power amplifier for “critical” operation under idealized conditions at resonance is: RLC = VS 2 2PO [3 – 8] A typical value of RLC for an RF output power of Po= 13mW is: 32 RLC = = 350Ω 2 ∗ 0.013 [3 – 9] Critical” operation is characterized by the RF peak voltage swing at the collector of the PA transistor to just reach the supply voltage VS. The high efficiency under “critical” operating conditions can be explained by the low power loss at the transistor. During the conducting phase of the transistor there is no or only a very small collector voltage present, thus minimizing the power loss of the transistor (iC*uCE). This is particularly true for low current flow angles of θ<<π. In practice the RF-saturation voltage of the PA transistor and other parasitics will reduce the “critical” RLC. The output power Po will be reduced when operating in an “overcritical” mode at a RL > RLC. As shown in Figure 3-7, however, power efficiency E (and bandwidth) will increase by some degree when operating at higher RL. The collector efficiency E is defined as Data Sheet 44 2007-02-26 TDA5250 D2 Version 1.7 Application E= PO VS I C [3 – 10] The diagram of Figure 3-7 has been measured directly at the PA-output at VS=3V. A power loss in the matching circuit of about 2dB will decrease the output power. As shown in the diagram, 240 Ohm is the optimum impedance for operation at 3V. For an approximation of ROPT and POUT at other supply voltages those 2 formulas can be used: [3 – 11] ROPT ~ VS and POUT ~ ROPT [3 – 12] Power_E_vs_RL.wmf Figure 3-7 Output power Po (mW) and collector efficiency E vs. load resistor RL. The DC collector current Ic of the power amplifier and the RF output power Po vary with the load resistor RL. This is typical for overcritical operation of class C amplifiers. The collector current will show a characteristic dip at the resonance frequency for this type of “overcritical” operation. The depth of this dip will increase with higher values of RL. As Figure 3-8 shows, detuning beyond the bandwidth of the matching circuit results in a significant increase of collector current of the power amplifier and in some loss of output power. This diagram shows the data for the circuit of the test board at the frequency of 868 MHz. The effective load resistor of this circuit is RL= 240Ohm, which is the optimum impedance for operation at 3V. This will lead to a dip of the collector current f approx. 20%. Data Sheet 45 2007-02-26 TDA5250 D2 Version 1.7 Application pout_vs_frequ.wmf Figure 3-8 Power output and collector current vs. frequency C4, L2 and C3||C2 are the main matching components which are used to transform the 50 Ohm load at the SMA-RF-connector to a higher impedance at the PA-output (240Ohm@3V). L1 can be used for finetuning of the resonance frequency but should not be too low in order to keep its loss low. The transformed impedance of 240Ohm+j0 at the PA-output-pin can be verified with a network analyzer using this measurement procedure: 1. Calibrate your network analyzer. 2. Connect a short, low-loss 50 Ohm cable to your network analyzer with an open end on one side. Semirigid cable works best. 3. Use the „Port Extension“ feature of your network analyzer to shift the reference plane of your network analyzer to the open end of the cable. 4. Connect the center-conductor of the cable to the solder pad of the pin „PA“ of the IC. The shield has to be grounded. Very short connections must be used. Do not remove the IC or any part of the matching-components! 5. Screw a 50Ohm-dummy-load on the RF-I/O-SMA-connector 6. The TDA5250 has to be in ASK-TX-Mode, Data-Input=LOW. 7. Be sure that your network analyzer is AC-coupled and turn on the power supply of the IC. 8.

The evalboard has been optimized for 3V. The load is about 240+j0 at 868.3MHz. A tuning-free realization requires a careful design of the components within the matching network. A simple linear CAE-tool will help to see the influence of tolerances of matching components. Suppression of spurious harmonics may require some additional filtering within the antenna matching circuit. Both can be seen in Figure 3-10 and Figure 3-11 The total spectrum of the evalboard can be summarized as: Carrier fc +9dBm fc-18.1MHz -62dBm fc+18.1MHz -66dBm 2nd harmonic -40dBm 3rd harmonic -44dBm Data Sheet 47 2007-02-26 TDA5250 D2 Version 1.7 Application oberwellentx.tif Figure 3-10 Transmit Spectrum 13.2GHz spektrum_10r_3v.tif Figure 3-11 Transmit Spectrum 300MHz Regarding CEPT ERC recommendation 70-03 and ETSI regulation EN 300220 both of the following figures show full compliance in case of ASK and FSK modulation spectrum.

On the other hand a small CL keeps the influence of the serial inductance and the tolerances associated to it small (see formula [3-17]). Start-up Time t Start ~ L1 − R − Rext where: -R: Rext: [3 – 16] is the negative impedance of the oscillator see Figure 3-15 is the sum of all external resistances (e.g. R1 or any other resistance that may be present in the circuit, see Figure 3-14 The proportionality of L1 and C1 of the crystal is defined by formula [3-13]. For a crystal with a small C1 the start -up time will also be slower. Typically the lower the value of the crystal frequency, the lower the C1. A short conclusion regarding crystal and crystal oscillator dependencies is shown in the following table: Table 3-1 Crystal and crystal oscilator dependency Independent variable C1 > C0 > frequency of quartz > LOSC > CL > Result Relative Tolerance Maximum Deviation >> >> < < >>> > >> > > < tStart-up < << - The crystal oscillator in the TDA5250 is a NIC (negative impedance converter) oscillator type. The input impedance of this oscillator is a negative impedance in series to an inductance. Therefore the load capacitance of the crystal CL (specified by the crystal supplier) is transformed to the capacitance Cv as shown in formula [3-17].

The tolerance of the internal oscillator inductivity is much higher, so the inductivity is the dominating value for the tolerance. FSK modulation and tuning are achieved by a variation of Cv. In case of small frequency deviations (up to +/- 1000 ppm), the desired load capacitances for FSK modulation are frequency depending and can be calculated with the formula below. 2 ⋅ ( C + C ) ∆f 0 L CL − + C 0 ⋅ ---------- ⋅ 1 + --------------------------------- N⋅f C 1 C L ± = -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------2 ⋅ ( C + C ) ∆f 0 L 1 ± ---------- ⋅ 1 + --------------------------------- N⋅f C 1 CL: C0: C1: f: N: Data Sheet [3 – 18] crystal load capacitance for nominal frequency shunt capacitance of the crystal motional capacitance of the crystal crystal oscillator frequency division ratio of the PLL 52 2007-02-26 TDA5250 D2 Version 1.7 Application ∆f: peak frequency deviation With CL+ and CL- the necessary Cv+ for FSK HIGH and Cv- for FSK LOW can be calculated. Alternatively, an external AC coupled (10nF in series to 1kΩ) signal can be applied at pin 19 (Xout). The drive level should be approximately 100mVpp. 3.2.1 Synthesizer Frequency setting Generating ASK and FSK modulation 3 setable frequencies are necessary. 3.2.1.1 Possible crystal oscillator frequencies The resulting possible crystal oscillator frequencies are shown in the following Figure 3-16 RX: TX: FSK- FSK ASK Deviation f1 ASK FSK+ Deviation f0 f2 Nominal Frequency free_reg.wmf Figure 3-16 possible crystal oscillator frequencies In ASK receive mode the crystal oscillator is set to frequency f2 to realize the necessary frequency offset to receive the ASK signal at f0*N (N: division ratio of the PLL). To set the 3 different frequencies 3 different Cv are necessary. Via internal switches 3 external capacitors can be combined to generate the necessary Cv in case of ASK- or FSK-modulation. Internal banks of switchable capacitors allow the finetuning of these frequencies. 3.2.2 Transmit/Receive ASK/FSK Frequency Assignment Depending on whether the device operates in transmit or receive mode or whether it operates in ASK or FSK the following cases can be distinguished: 3.2.2.1 FSK-mode In transmit mode the two frequencies representing logical HIGH and LOW data states have to be adjusted depending on the intended frequency deviation and separately according to the following formulas: Data Sheet 53 2007-02-26 TDA5250 D2 Version 1.7 Application fCOSC HI = (fRF + fDEV) / 48 fCOSC LOW = (fRF - fDEV) / 48 [3 – 19] e.g. fCOSC HI = (868,3E6 + 50E3) / 48 = 18.08438MHz fCOSC LOW = (868,3E6 - 50E3) / 48 = 18.08229MHz with a frequency deviation of 50kHz. Figure 3-17 shows the configuration of the switches and the capacitors to achieve the 2 desired frequencies. Gray parts of the schematics indicate inactive parts. For FSK modulation the ASKswitch is always open. For FSK LOW the FSK-switch is closed and Cv2 and Ctune2 are bypassed. The effective Cv- is given by: CV − = C v1 + C tune1 [3 – 20] For finetuning Ctune1 can be varied over a range of 8 pF in steps of 125fF. The switches of this Cbank are controlled by the bits D0 to D5 in the FSK register (subaddress 01H, see Table 3-6). For FSK HIGH the FSK-switch is open.

In this case the switches of the C-bank are controlled by the bits D0 to D5 of the XTAL_TUNING register (subaddress 02H, see Table 3-5). 3.2.2.2 ASK-mode: In transmit mode the crystal oscillator frequency is the same as in the FSK receive case, see Figure 3-18. In receive mode a receive frequency offset is necessary as the limiters feedback is AC-coupled. This offset is achieved by setting the oscillator frequency to the FSK HIGH transmit frequency, see Figure 3-17. Data Sheet 55 2007-02-26 TDA5250 D2 Version 1.7 Application 3.2.3 Parasitics For the correct calculation of the external capacitors the parasitic capacitances of the pins and the switches (C20, C21, C22) have to be taken into account.

When the necessary Cv for the 3 frequencies (Cv- for FSK LOW, Cv+ for FSK HIGH and Cvm for FSK-receive) are known the external capacitors and the internal tuning caps can be calculated using the following formulas: -FSK: C v1 + C tune1 = C v- – C 21 [3 – 27] +FSK: ( C v1 + C tune1 ) ⋅ ( C v+ – C 21 ) C v2 + C tune2 = ---------------------------------------------------------------------- – C 20 ( C v1 + C tune1 ) – ( C v+ – C 21 ) [3 – 28] FSK_RX: ( C v1 + C tune1 ) ⋅ ( C vm – C 21 ) C v3 + C tune2 = ------------------------------------------------------------------------- – C 20 – C v2 – C 22 ( C v1 + C tune1 ) – ( C vm – C 21 ) [3 – 29] To compensate frequency errors due to crystal and component tolerance Cv1, Cv2 and Cv3 have to be varied. To enable this correction, half of the necessary capacitance variation has to be realized with the internal C-banks. If no finetuning is intended it is recommended to leave XIN (Pin 21) open. So the parasitic capacitance of Pin 21 has no effect. Note: Please keep in mind also to include the Pad parasitics of the circuit board. In the suitable range for the serial capacitor, either capacitors with a tolerance of 0.1pF or 1% are available. A spreadsheet, which can be used to predict the total frequency error by simply entering the crystal specification, may be obtained from Infineon. 3.2.5 FSK-switch modes The FSK-switch can be used either in a bipolar or in a FET mode. The mode of this switch is controlled by bit D0 of the XTAL_CONFIG register (subaddress 0EH). Data Sheet 57 2007-02-26 TDA5250 D2 Version 1.7 Application In the bipolar mode the FSK-switch can be controlled by a ramp function. This ramp function is set by the bits D1 and D2 of the XTAL_CONFIG register (subadress 0EH). With these modes of the FSK-switch the bandwidth of the FSK spectrum can be influenced. When working in the FET mode the power consumption can be reduced by about 200 µA. The default mode is bipolar switch with no ramp function (D0 = 1, D1 = D2 = 0), which is suitable for all bitrates.

Data Sheet 59 2007-02-26 TDA5250 D2 Version 1.7 Application Concerning the frequency tolerances of the whole system also crystal tolerances (tuning tolerances, temperature stability, tolerance of CL) have to be considered. In addition to the chip tolerances also the crystal and external component tolerances have to be considered in the tuning and non-tuning case. In case of internal tuning: The crystal on the evaluation board has a temperature stability of +/20ppm (or +/- 17kHz), which must be added to the total tolerances. In case of default setup (without internal tuning and without usage of pin 21) the temperature stability and tuning tolerance of the crystal as well as the tolerance of the external capacitors (+/0.1pF) have to be added. The crystal on the evaluation board has a temperature stability of +/20ppm (or +/- 17kHz) and a tuning tolerance of +/- 10ppm (or +/- 8.5 kHz).The external capacitors add a tolerance of +/- 4ppm (or +/- 3.5kHz). The frequency stabilities of both the receiver and the transmitter and the modulation bandwidth set the limit for the bandwidth of the IQ filter. To achieve a high receiver sensitivity and efficient suppression of adjacent interference signals, the narrowest possible IQ bandwidth should be realized (see Section 3.3). 3.3 IQ-Filter The IQ-Filter should be set to values corresponding to the RF-bandwidth of the received RF signal via the D1 to D3 bits of the LPF register (subaddress 03H).

Thus for using the data valid detection FSK modulation is recommended. Data Sheet 68 2007-02-26 TDA5250 D2 Version 1.7 Application Timing for data detection looks like the following.

Default values (window counter inactive): TH1= 000000000000b TH2= 000000000001b Note: The timing window of +-10% of a given high time T in general does not correspond to a frequency window +-10% of the calculated data frequency. 3.7.2 RSSI threshold voltage - RF input power The RF input power level is corresponding to a certain RSSI voltage, which can be seen in Section 3.5. The threshold TH3 of this RSSI voltage can be calculated with the following formula: TH3 = desired RSSI threshold 1.2V voltage ⋅ (2 6 [3 – 39] − 1) As an example a desired RSSI threshold voltage of 500mV results in TH3~26=011010b, which has to be written into D0 to D5 of the RSSI_TH3 register (sub address 08H).

A minimum of 4 Frames is transmitted. Data are preferably Manchester encoded to get fastest respond out of the Data Rate Detection. Target Application: - received Signal has code violation as described before - total mean current consumption below 1mA - data reception within max. 400ms after first transmitted frame One possible Solution: tON = 15ms, tOFF= 135ms Data Sheet 72 2007-02-26 TDA5250 D2 Version 1.7 Application This gives 15ms ON time of a total period of 150ms which results in max. 0.9mA mean current consumption in Self Polling Mode.

Receiver enabled data_timing021.wmf Figure 3-35 3 possible timings Description: Assumption: the ON time comes right after the first frame (Case A). If OFF time is 135ms the receiver turns on during Sync-pulses and the PwdDD- pulse wakes up the µP. If the ON time is in the center of the 50ms gap of transmission (Case B), the Data Detect Logic will wake up the µP 135ms later. If ON time is over just before Sync-pulses (Case C), next ON time is during Data transmission and Data Detect Logic will trigger a PwdDD- pulse to wake up the µP. Note: In this example it is recommended to use the Peak Detector for slicer threshold generation, because of its fast attack and slow release characteristic. To overcome the data zero gap of 50ms larger external capacitors than noted in Section 4.4 at pin12 and 13 are recommended. Further information on calculating these components can be taken from Section 3.6.2. 3.10 Sensitivity Measurements 3.10.1 Test Setup The test setup used for the measurements is shown in the following figure. In case of ASK modulation the Rohde & Schwarz SMIQ generator, which is a vector signal generator, is connected to the I/Q modulation source AMIQ. This "baseband signal generator" is in turn controlled by the PC Data Sheet 73 2007-02-26 TDA5250 D2 Version 1.7 Application based software WinQSIM via a GPIB interface. The AMIQ generator has a pseudo random binary sequence (PRBS) generator and a bit error test set built in. The resulting I/Q signals are applied to the SMIQ to generate a ASK (OOK) spectrum at the desired RF frequency. Data is demodulated by the TDA5250 and then sent back to the AMIQ to be compared with the originally sent data. The bit error rate is calculated by the bit error rate equipment inside the AMIQ. Baseband coding in the form of Manchester is applied to the I signal as can be seen in the subsequent figure. Personal Computer Software WinIQSIM GPIB / RS 232 Clock AMIQ BERT (Bit Error Rate Test Set) Marker Output Data Rohde & Schwarz I/Q Modulation Source AMIQ I Q Manchester Encoder Manchester Decoder DATAout Rohde & Schwarz Vector Signal Generator SMIQ 03 RFin DUT Transceiver Testboard TDA5250 ASK / FSK RF Signal TestSetup.wmf Figure 3-36 BER Test Setup In the following figures the RF power level shown is the average power level. These investigations have been made on an Infineon evaluation board using a data rate of 4 kBit/ s with manchester encoding and a data filter bandwidth of 7 kHz. This is the standard configuration of our evaluation boards. All these measurements have been performed with several evaluation boards, so that production scattering and component tolerances are already included in these results. Regarding the data filter bandwidth it has to be mentioned that a data rate of 4 kBit/s using manchester encoding results in a data frequency of 2 kHz to 4 kHz depending on the occurring data pattern. The test pattern given by the AMIQ is a pseudo random binary sequency (PRBS9) with a 9 bit shift register. This pattern varies the resulting data frequency up to 4 kHz. Data Sheet 74 2007-02-26 TDA5250 D2 Version 1.7 Application The best sensitivity performance can be achieved using a data filter bandwidth of 1.25 times the maximum occuring data frequency. The IQ filter setting is depending on the modulation type. ASK needs an IQ filter of 50kHz, 50kHz deviation at FSK recommend a 100kHz IQ filter and 100kHz deviation were measured with a 150kHz IQ filter A very practicable configuration is to set the chip-internal adjustable IQ filter to the sum of FSK peak deviation and maximum datafrequency. Concerning these aspects the bandwidth should be chosen small enough. With respect to both, the crystal tolerances and the tolerances of the crystal oscillator circuit of receiver and transmitter as well, a too small IQ filter bandwidth will reduce the sensitivity again. So a compromise has to be made. For further details on chip tolerances see also Section 3.2.7 3.10.2 Sensitivity depending on the ambient Temperature Demonstrating a wide band of application possibilities the temperature behavior must not be forgotten. In automotive systems the required temperature range is from -40 °C to +85 °C. The receivers very good performance is documented in the following graph. The selected supply voltage is 5V, the influence of the supply voltage can be seen in the following Section 3.10.3 The IQ filter setting can be taken from the legend of Figure 3-37. BER_Temp_5V.wmf Figure 3-37 Temperature Behaviour Figure 3-37 shows that ASK as well as FSK sensitivity is in the range of -110 to -111dBm at 20°C ambient temperature for a BER of 2E-3. Notice that the sensitivity variation in this temperature range of -40 °C to +85 °C is only about 1.5 to 2 dB. Data Sheet 75 2007-02-26 TDA5250 D2 Version 1.7 Application 3.10.3 BER performance depending on Supply Voltage Due to the wide supply voltage range of this transeiver chip also the sensitivity behaviour over this parameter is documented is the subsequent graph. BER_VCC_20°C..wmf Figure 3-38 BER supply voltage Please notice the tiny sensitivity changes of 1.5 to 2.5dB, when variing the supply voltage. 3.10.4 Datarates and Sensitivity The TDA 5250 can handle datarates up to 64kbit/s, as can be taken from the following figure. (see Section 4.1.4) Data Sheet 76 2007-02-26 TDA5250 D2 Version 1.7 Application BER_Datarate.wmf Figure 3-39 3.10.5 Datarates and Sensitivity Sensitivity at Frequency Offset Applying the test setup in Figure 3-36 even a wide offset in the received frequency spectrum results only in a slight decrease of receiving sensitivity. At an offset of 100kHz one of the two 50kHz FSK peaks is at the 3dB border of the IQ filter (150kHz), which is the reason for the decline of the sensitivity (see point A in Figure 3-40). A frequency offset of 50kHz (FSK deviation: 50kHz) increases the data jitter of the demodulated signal and therefore results in little loss of sensitivity (see point B in Figure 3-40). In this case one of the peaks of the FSK-spectrum lies in the DC-blocking notch of the baseband limiters.
