2.4 Functional Blocks
2.4.1 PLL Synthesizer
The Phase Locked Loop synthesizer consists of a Voltage Controlled Oscillator
(VCO), an asynchronous divider chain, a phase detector, a charge pump and a
loop filter. It is fully implemented on chip. The tuning circuit of the VCO consisting of spiral inductors and varactor diodes is on chip, too. Therefore no additional external components are necessary. The nominal center frequency of the
VCO is 869 MHz. The oscillator signal is fed both, to the synthesizer divider
chain and to the power amplifier. The overall division ratio of the asynchronous
divider chain is 128 in case of a 6.78 MHz crystal or 64 in case of a 13.56 MHz
crystal and can be selected via CSEL (pin 16). The phase detector is a Type IV
PD with charge pump. The passive loop filter is realized on chip.
2.4.2 Crystal Oscillator
The crystal oscillator operates either at 6.78 MHz or at 13.56 MHz.
The reference frequency can be chosen by the signal at CSEL (pin 16).

To achieve FSK transmission, the oscillator frequency can be detuned by a
fixed amount by switching an external capacitor via FSKOUT (pin 11).
The condition of the switch is controlled by the signal at FSKDTA (pin 7).

2.4.3 Power Amplifier
In case of operation in the 868-870 MHz band, the power amplifier is fed directly
from the voltage controlled oscillator. In case of operation in the 433-435 MHz
band, the VCO frequency is divided by 2. This is controlled by FSEL (pin 15) as
described in the table below.

The Power Amplifier has an Open Collector output at PAOUT (pin 14) and
requires an external pull-up coil to provide bias. The coil is part of the tuning and
matching LC circuitry to get best performance with the external loop antenna.
To achieve the best power amplifier efficiency, the high frequency voltage swing
at PAOUT (pin 14) should be twice the supply voltage.
The power amplifier has its own ground pin PAGND (pin 13) in order to reduce
the amount of coupling to the other circuits.

2.4.4 Low Power Detect
The supply voltage is sensed by a low power detector. When the supply voltage
drops below 2.15 V, the output LPD (pin 2) switches to the low-state. To minimize the external component count, an internal pull-up current of 40 µA gives
the output a high-state at supply voltages above 2.15 V.
The output LPD (pin 2) can either be connected to ASKDTA (pin 6) to switch off
the PA as soon as the supply voltage drops below 2.15 V or it can be used to
inform a micro-controller to stop the transmission after the current data packet.
2.4.5 Power Modes
The IC provides three power modes, the POWER DOWN MODE, the PLL
ENABLE MODE and the TRANSMIT MODE.
2.4.5.1 Power Down Mode
In the POWER DOWN MODE the complete chip is switched off.
The current consumption is typically 0.3 nA at 3 V 25°C.
This current doubles every 8°C. The values for higher temperatures are
typically 14 nA at 85°C and typically 600 nA at 125°C.
2.4.5.2 PLL Enable Mode
In the PLL ENABLE MODE the PLL is switched on but the power amplifier is
turned off to avoid undesired power radiation during the time the PLL needs to
settle. The turn on time of the PLL is determined mainly by the turn on time of
the crystal oscillator and is less than 1 msec when the specified crystal is used.
The current consumption is typically 3.5 mA.
2.4.5.3 Transmit Mode
In the TRANSMIT MODE the PLL is switched on and the power amplifier is
turned on too.
The current consumption of the IC is typically 7 mA when using a proper transforming network at PAOUT, see Figure 3-1.
2.4.5.4 Power mode control
The bias circuitry is powered up via a voltage V > 1.5 V at the pin PDWN (pin 1).
When the bias circuitry is powered up, the pins ASKDTA and FSKDTA are
pulled up internally.
Forcing the voltage at the pins low overrides the internally set state.
Alternatively, if the voltage at ASKDTA or FSKDTA is forced high externally, the
PDWN pin is pulled up internally via a current source. In this case, it is not necessary to connect the PDWN pin, it is recommended to leave it open.

3.5 Application Hints on the Crystal Oscillator
1. Application Hints on the crystal oscillator
The crystal oscillator achieves a turn on time less than 1 msec when the
specified crystal is used. To achieve this, a NIC oscillator type is implemented
in the TDK 5100. The input impedance of this oscillator is a negative resistance
in series to an inductance. Therefore the load capacitance of the crystal CL
(specified by the crystal supplier) is transformed to the capacitance Cv.

Example for the ASK-Mode:
Referring to the application circuit, in ASK-Mode the capacitance C7 is replaced
by a short to ground. Assume a crystal frequency of 13.56 MHz and a crystal
load capacitance of CL = 20 pF. The inductance L at 13.5 MHz is about 4.6 mH.
Therefore C6 is calculated to 12 pF.

The frequency deviation of the crystal oscillator is multiplied with the divider

If the FSK switch is closed, Cv_ is equal to Cv1 (C6 in the application diagram).
If the FSK switch is open, Cv2 (C7 in the application diagram) can be calculated.

Csw ∗ Cv1 − (Cv + ) ∗ (Cv1 + Csw)
(Cv + ) − Cv1
Csw:
parallel capacitance of the FSK switch (3 pF incl. layout parasitics)
Remark:
These calculations are only approximations. The necessary values
depend on the layout also and must be adapted for the specific
application board.
3.6 Design Hints on the Clock Output (CLKOUT)
The CLKOUT pin is an open collector output. An external pull up resistor (RL)
should be connected between this pin and the positive supply voltage. The
value of RL is depending on the clock frequency and the load capacitance CLD
(PCB board plus input capacitance of the microcontroller). RL can be calculated
to:
RL =
1
fCLKOUT * 8 * CLD

Remark:
To achieve a low current consumption and a low
spurious radiation, the largest possible RL should be chosen.
Even harmonics of the signal at CLKOUT can interact with the crystal oscillator
input COSC preventing the start-up of oscillation. Care must be taken in layout
by sufficient separation of the signal lines to ensure sufficiently small coupling.

3.7 Application Hints on the 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 3-8. 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.

Equivalent power amplifier tank circuit
The optimum load at the collector of the power amplifier for “critical” operation
under idealized conditions at resonance is:
R LC
V S2
=
2 * PO
The theoretical value of RLC for an RF output power of Po= 5 dBm (3.16 mW) is:
R LC =
32
= 1423 Ω
2 * 0 .00316
“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 degree of efficiency under “critical” operating conditions can be
explained by the low power losses at the transistor. During the conducting
phase of the transistor, its collector voltage is very small. This way the power
loss of the transistor, equal to iC*uCE , is minimized. This is particularly true for
small current flow angles of θ<<π.
In practice the RF-saturation voltage of the PA transistor and other parasitics
reduce the “critical” RLC.
Wireless Components
3 - 10
Specification, May 2012
TDK 5100
The output power Po is reduced by operating in an “overcritical” mode
characterised by RL > RLC.
The power efficiency (and the bandwidth) increase when operating at a slightly
higher RL, as shown in Figure 3-9.
The collector efficiency E is defined as
E=
PO
VS I C
The diagram of Figure 3-9 was measured directly at the PA-output at VS = 3 V.
Losses in the matching circuitry decrease the output power by about 1.5 dB. As
can be seen from the diagram, 700 Ω is the optimum impedance for operation
at 3 V. For an approximation of ROPT and POUT at other supply voltages those
two formulas can be used:

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.
Wireless Components
3 - 11
Specification, May 2012
TDK 5100
As Figure 3-10 shows, detuning beyond the bandwidth of the matching circuit
results in an increase of the 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 434 MHz. The behaviour at 868 MHz is similar. The
effective load resistance of this circuit is RL = 700 Ω, which is the optimum
impedance for operation at 3 V. This will lead to a dip of the collector current of
approx. 40%.

C3, L2-C2 and C8 are the main matching components which are used to
transform the 50 Ω load at the SMA-RF-connector to a higher impedance at the
PA-output (700 Ω @ 3 V). L1 can be used for some finetuning of the resonant
frequency but should not become too small in order to keep its losses low.
The transformed impedance of 700+j0 Ω at the PA-output-pin can be verified
with a network analyzer using the following measurement procedure:
1. Calibrate your network analyzer.
2. Connect some short, low-loss 50 Ω 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 outer conductor has to be grounded. Very short connections
have to be used. Do not remove the IC or any part of the matching-components!
5. Screw a 50 Ω dummy-load on the RF-I/O-SMA-connector
6. Be sure that your network analyzer is AC-coupled and turn on the power
supply of the IC. The TDK5100 must not be in Transmit-Mode.
7. Measure the S-parameter S11

Above you can see the measurement of the evalboard with a span of 100 MHz.
The evalboard has been optimized for 3 V. The load is about 700+j0 Ω at
the transmit frequency.
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. The total spectrum of a typical 50 Ω - Output
testboard can be summarized as:
