For information on current consumption in complex

software AX−RadioLab for AX5043.
Table 4. CURRENT CONSUMPTION VS. OUTPUT
POWER
Itxcalc [mA]
Note on current consumption in TX mode
To achieve best output power the matching network has to
be optimized for the desired output power and frequency. As
a rule of thumb a good matching network produces about
50% efficiency with the AX5043 power amplifier although
over 90% are theoretically possible. A typical matching
network has between 1 dB and 2 dB loss (Ploss). The
theoretical efficiencies are the same for the single ended PA
(ANTP1) and differential PA (ANTP and ANTN) therefore
only one current value is shown in the table below. We
recommend to use the single ended PA for low output power
and the differential PA for high power. The differential PA
is internally multiplexed with the LNA on pins ANTP and
ANTN. Therefore constraints for the RX matching have to
be considered for the differential PA matching.
The current consumption can be calculated as

Both AX5043 power amplifiers run from the regulated

has the advantage that the current and output power do not
vary much over supply voltage and temperature.

1. Tolerances and start−up times depend on the crystal used. Depending on the RF frequency and channel spacing the IC must be calibrated
to the exact crystal frequency using the readings of the register TRKFREQ.
2. The choice of crystal oscillator or TCXO frequency depends on the targeted regulatory regime for TX, see separate documentation on
meeting regulatory requirements.
3. To avoid spurious emission, the crystal or TCXO reference frequency should be chosen so that the RF carrier frequency is not an integer
multiple of the crystal or TCXO frequency.
4. The oscillator transconductance is regulated for fastest start−up time during start−up and for lowest power curing steady state oscillation.
This means that values depend on the crystal used.
5. If an external clock or TCXO is used, it should be input via an AC coupling at pin CLK16P with the oscillator powered up and XTALCAP = 0x00.
For detailed TCXO network recommendations depending on the TCXO output swing refer to the AX5043 Application Note: Use with a TCXO
Reference Clock.

AX5043
CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
The receiver and the transmitter support multi−channel
operation for all data rates and modulation schemes.
The AX5043 is a true single chip ultra−low power
narrow−band CMOS transceiver for use in licensed and
unlicensed bands from 27 and 1050 MHz. The on−chip
transceiver consists of a fully integrated RF front−end with
modulator, and demodulator. Base band data processing is
implemented in an advanced and flexible communication
controller that enables user friendly communication via the
SPI interface.
AX5043 can be operated from a 1.8 V to 3.6 V power
supply over a temperature range of −40°C to 85°C. It
consumes 7 − 48 mA for transmitting at 868 MHz carrier
frequency, 4 – 51 mA for transmitting at 169 MHz
depending on the output power. In receive operation AX
5043 consumes 9 − 11 mA at 868 MHz carrier frequency and
6.5 − 8.5 mA at 169 MHz.
The AX5043 features make it an ideal interface for
integration into various battery powered solutions such as
ticketing or as transceiver for telemetric applications e.g. in
sensors. As primary application, the transceiver is intended
for UHF radio equipment in accordance with the European
Telecommunication Standard Institute (ETSI) specification
EN 300 220−1 and the US Federal Communications
Commission (FCC) standard Title 47 CFR Part 15 as well as
Part 90. AX5043 is compliant with respective narrow−band
regulations. Additionally AX5043 is suited for systems
targeting compliance with Wireless M−Bus standard EN
13757−4:2005. Wireless M−Bus frame support (S, T, R) is
built−in.
AX5043 supports any data rate from 0.1 kbps to 125 kbps
for FSK, 4−FSK, GFSK, GMSK, MSK, ASK and PSK. To
achieve optimum performance for specific data rates and
modulation schemes several register settings to configure
the AX5043 are necessary, for details see the AXSEM
RadioLab Software which calculates the necessary register
settings and the AX5043 Programming Manual.
The AX5043 can be operated in two fundamentally
different modes.
In frame mode data is sent and received via the SPI port
in frames. Pre− and post−ambles as well as checksums can
be generated automatically. Interrupts control the data flow
between a micro−controller and the AX5043.
In wire mode the IC behaves as an extension of any wire.
The internal communication controller is disabled and the
modem data is directly available on a dedicated pin (DATA).
The bit clock is also output on a dedicated pin (DCLK). In
this mode the user can connect the data pin to any port of a
micro−controller or to a UART, but has to control coding,
checksums, pre and post ambles. The user can choose
between synchronous and asynchronous wire mode,
asynchronous wire mode performs RS232 start bit
recognition and re−synchronization for transmit.
Both modes can be used both for transmit and receive. In
both cases the AX5043 behaves as a SPI slave interface.
Configuration of the AX5043 is always done via the SPI
interface.
Voltage Regulators
The AX5043 uses an on−chip voltage regulator system to
create stable supply voltages for the internal circuitry from
the primary supply VDD_IO. The I/O level of the digital
pins is VDD_IO.
Pins VDD_ANA are supplied for external decoupling of
the power supply used for the on−chip PA.
The voltage regulator system must be set into the
appropriate state before receive or transmit operations can
be initiated. This is handled automatically when
programming the device modes via the PWRMODE
register.
Register POWSTAT contains status bits that can be read
to check if the regulated voltages are ready (bit SVIO) or if
VDD_IO has dropped below the brown−out level of 1.3V
(bit SSUM).
In power−down mode the core supply voltages for digital
and analog functions are switched off to minimize leakage
power. Most register contents are preserved but access to the
FIFO is not possible and FIFO contents are lost. SPI access
to registers is possible, but at lower speed.
In deep−sleep mode all supply voltages are switched off.
All digital and analog functions are disabled. All register
contents are lost. To leave deep−sleep mode the pin SEL has
to be pulled low. This will initiate startup and reset of the
AX5043. Then the MISO line should be polled, as it will be
held low during initialization and will rise to high at the end
of the initialization, when the chip becomes ready for
operation.
Crystal Oscillator and TCXO Interface
The AX5043 is normally operated with an external
TCXO, which is required by most narrow−band regulation
with a tolerance of 0.5 ppm to 1.5 ppm depending on the
regulation. The on−chip crystal oscillator allows the use of
an inexpensive quartz crystal as the RF generation
subsystem’s timing reference when possible from a
regulatory point of view.
A wide range of crystal frequencies can be handled by the
crystal oscillator circuit. As the reference frequency impacts
both the spectral performance of the transmitter as well as
the current consumption of the receiver, the choice of
reference frequency should be made according to the
regulatory regime targeted by the application. For
guidelines see the separate Application Notes for usage of
AX5043 in compliance with various regulatory regimes.
The crystal or TCXO reference frequency should be
chosen so that the RF carrier frequency is not an integer
multiple of the crystal or TCXO frequency.
The oscillator circuit is enabled by programming the
PWRMODE register. At power−up it is enabled.
www.onsemi.com
16
AX5043
oscillation is 640 Hz ± 1.5%, in fast mode it is 10.2 kHz ±
1.5%. These accuracies are reached after the internal
hardware has been used to calibrate the low power oscillator
versus the RF reference clock. This procedure can be run in
the background during transmit or receive operations.
The low power oscillator makes a WOR mode with a
power consumption of 500 nA possible.
If Wake on Radio Mode is enabled, the receiver wakes up
periodically at a user selectable interval, and checks for a
radio signal on the selected channel. If no signal is detected,
the receiver shuts down again. If a radio signal is detected,
and a valid packet is received, the microcontroller is alerted
by asserting an interrupt.
The AX5043 can thus autonomously poll for radio
signals, while the micro−controller can stay powered down,
and only wakes up once a valid packet is received. This
allows for very low average receiver power, at the expense
of longer preambles at the transmitter.
To adjust the circuit’s characteristics to the quartz crystal
being used, without using additional external components,
the tuning capacitance of the crystal oscillator can be
programmed. The transconductance of the oscillator is
automatically regulated, to allow for fastest start−up times
together with lowest power operation during steady−state
oscillation.
The integrated programmable tuning capacitor bank
makes it possible to connect the oscillator directly to pins
CLK16N and CLK16P without the need for external
capacitors. It is programmed using bits XTALCAP[5:0] in
register XTALCAP.
To synchronize the receiver frequency to a carrier signal,
the oscillator frequency could be tuned using the capacitor
bank however, the recommended method to implement
frequency synchronization is to make use of the high
resolution RF frequency generation sub−system together
with the Automatic Frequency Control, both are described
further down.
Alternatively a single ended reference (TXCO, CXO)
may be used. For detailed TCXO network recommendations
depending on TCXO output swing refer to the AX5043

SYSCLK Output
The carrier frequency range can be extended to 54 –
525 MHz and 27 – 262 MHz by using an appropriate
external inductor between device pins L1 and L2. The bit
VCO2INT in the PLLVCODIV register must be set high to
enter this mode.
It is also possible to use a fully external VCO by setting
bits VCO2INT = 0 and VCOSEL = 1 in the PLLVCODIV
register. A differential input at a frequency of double the
desired RF frequency must be input at device pins L1 and
L2. The control voltage for the VCO can be output at device
pin FILT when using external filter mode. The voltage range
of this output pin is 0 – 1.8 V.
This mode of operation is recommended for special
applications where the phase noise requirements are not met
when using the fully internal VCO or the internal VCO with
external inductor.
The SYSCLK pin outputs either the reference clock signal
divided by a programmable power of two or the low power
oscillator clock. Division ratios from 1 to 1024 are possible.
For divider ratios > 1 the duty cycle is 50%. Bits
SYSCLK[4:0] in the PINFUNCSYSCLK register set the
divider ratio. The SYSCLK output can be disabled.
After power−up SYSCLK outputs 1/16 of the crystal
oscillator clock, making it possible to use this clock to boot
a micro−controller.
Power−on−Reset (POR)
AX5043 has an integrated power−on−reset block. No
external POR circuit is required.
After POR the AX5043 can be reset by first setting the SPI
SEL pin to high for at least 100 ns, then setting followed by
resetting the bit RST in the PWRMODE register.
After POR or reset all registers are set to their default
values.
VCO Auto−Ranging
The AX5043 has an integrated auto−ranging function,
which allows to set the correct VCO range for specific
frequency generation subsystem settings automatically.
Typically it has to be executed after power−up. The function
is initiated by setting the RNG_START bit in the
PLLRANGINGA or PLLRANGINGB register. The bit is
readable and a 0 indicates the end of the ranging process.
Setting RNG_START in the PLLRANGINGA register
ranges the frequency in FREQA, while setting
RNG_START in the PLLRANGINGB register ranges the
frequency in FREQB. The RNGERR bit indicates the
correct execution of the auto−ranging.
VCO auto−ranging works with the fully integrated VCO
and with the internal VCO with external inductor.
RF Frequency Generation Subsystem
The RF frequency generation subsystem consists of a
fully integrated synthesizer, which multiplies the reference
frequency from the crystal oscillator to get the desired RF
frequency. The advanced architecture of the synthesizer
enables frequency resolutions of 1 Hz, as well as fast settling
times of 5 – 50 ms depending on the settings (see section AC
Characteristics). Fast settling times mean fast start−up and
fast RX/TX switching, which enables low−power system
design.
For receive operation the RF frequency is fed to the mixer,
for transmit operation to the power−amplifier.
The frequency must be programmed to the desired carrier
frequency.
The synthesizer loop bandwidth can be programmed, this
serves three purposes:
1. Start−up time optimization, start−up is faster for
higher synthesizer loop bandwidths
2. TX spectrum optimization, phase−noise at
300 kHz to 1 MHz distance from the carrier
improves with lower synthesizer loop bandwidths
3. Adaptation of the bandwidth to the data−rate. For
transmission of FSK and MSK it is required that
the synthesizer bandwidth must be in the order of
the data−rate.
Loop Filter and Charge Pump
The AX5043 internal loop filter configuration together
with the charge pump current sets the synthesizer loop band
width. The internal loop−filter has three configurations that
can be programmed via the register bits FLT[1:0] in registers
PLLLOOP or PLLLOOPBOOST the charge pump current
can be programmed using register bits PLLCPI[7:0] in
registers PLLCPI or PLLCPIBOOST. Synthesizer
bandwidths are typically 50 – 500 kHz depending on the
PLLLOOP or PLLLOOPBOOST settings, for details see
the section: AC Characteristics.
The AX5043 can be setup in such a way that when the
synthesizer is started, the settings in the registers
PLLLOOPBOOST and PLLCPIBOOST are applied first
for a programmable duration before reverting to the settings
in PLLLOOP and PLLCPI. This feature enables automated
fastest start−up.
Setting bits FLT[1:0] = 00 bypasses the internal loop filter
and the VCO control voltage is output to an external loop
filter at pin FILT. This mode of operation is recommended
for achieving lower bandwidths than with the internal loop
filter and for usage with a fully external VCO.
VCO
An on−chip VCO converts the control voltage generated
by the charge pump and loop filter into an output frequency.
This frequency is used for transmit as well as for receive
operation. The frequency can be programmed in 1 Hz steps
in the FREQ registers. For operation in the 433 MHz band,
the RFDIV bit in the PLLVCODIV register must be
programmed.
The fully integrated VCO allows to operate the device in
the frequency ranges 800 – 1050 MHz and 400 – 525 MHz.

RF Input and Output Stage (ANTP/ANTN/ANTP1)
PA
In TX mode the PA drives the signal generated by the
frequency generation subsystem out to either the differential
antenna terminals or to the single ended antenna pin. The
antenna terminals are chosen via the bits TXDIFF and TXSE
in register MODECFGA.
The output power of the PA is programmed via the register
TXPWRCOEFFB.
The PA can be digitally pre−distorted for high linearity.
The output amplitude can be shaped (raised cosine), this
mode is selected with bit AMPLSHAPE in register
MODECFGA. PA ramping is programmable in increments
of the bit time and can be set to 1 – 8 bit times via bits
SLOWRAMP in register MODECFGA.
Output power as well as harmonic content will depend on
the external impedance seen by the PA, recommendations
are given in the section: Application Information.
The AX5043 has two main antenna interface modes:
1. Both RX and TX use differential pins ANTP and
ANTN. RX/TX switching is handled internally.
This mode is recommended for highest output
powers, highest sensitivities and for direct
connection to dipole antennas. Also see Figure 13.
2. RX uses the differential antenna pins ANTP and
ANTN. TX uses the single ended antenna pin
ANTP1. RX/TX switching is handled externally.
This can be done either with an external RX/TX
switch or with a direct tie configuration. This
mode is recommended for low output powers at
high efficiency (Figure 16) and for usage with
external power amplifiers (Figure 15).
Pin PWRAMP can be used to control an external RX/TX
switch when operating the device together with an external
PA (Figure 15). Pin ANTSEL can be used to control an
external antenna switch when receiving with two antennas
(Figure 17).
When antenna diversity is enabled, the radio controller
will, when not in the middle of receiving a packet,
periodically probe both antennas and select the antenna with
the highest signal strength. The radio controller can be
instructed to periodically write both RSSI values into the
FIFO. Antenna diversity mode is fully automatic.
Digital IF Channel Filter and Demodulator
The digital IF channel filter and the demodulator extract
the data bit−stream from the incoming IF signal. They must
be programmed to match the modulation scheme as well as
the data−rate. Inaccurate programming will lead to loss of
sensitivity.
The channel filter offers bandwidths of 995 Hz up to
221 kHz.
The AXSEM RadioLab Software calculates the necessary
register settings for optimal performance and details can be
found in the AX5043 Programming Manual. An overview
of the registers involved is given in the following table as
reference. The register setups typically must be done once
at power−up of the device.
LNA
The LNA amplifies the differential RF signal from the
antenna and buffers it to drive the I/Q mixer. An external
matching network is used to adapt the antenna impedance to
the IC impedance. A DC feed to GND must be provided at
the antenna pins. For recommendations see section:
Application Information.

Registers
Table 19. CHANNEL FILTER AND DEMODULATOR REGISTERS
Register
Remarks
DECIMATION
This register programs the bandwidth of the digital channel filter.
RXDATARATE2… RXDATARATE0
These registers specify the receiver bit rate, relative to the channel filter bandwidth.
MAXDROFFSET2… MAXDROFFSET0
These registers specify the maximum possible data rate offset.
MAXRFOFFSET2… MAXRFOFFSET0
These registers specify the maximum possible RF frequency offset.
TIMEGAIN, DRGAIN
These registers specify the aggressiveness of the receiver bit timing recovery. More
aggressive settings allow the receiver to synchronize with shorter preambles, at the
expense of more timing jitter and thus a higher bit error rate at a given signal−to−noise
ratio.
MODULATION
This register selects the modulation to be used by the transmitter and the receiver,
i.e. whether ASK, FSK should be used.
PHASEGAIN, FREQGAINA, FREQGAINB,
FREQGAINC, FREQGAIND, AMPLGAIN
These registers control the bandwidth of the phase, frequency offset and amplitude
tracking loops.
AGCGAIN
This register controls the AGC (automatic gain control) loop slopes, and thus the
speed of gain adjustments. The faster the bit−rate, the faster the AGC loop should be.
TXRATE
These registers control the bit rate of the transmitter.
FSKDEV
These registers control the frequency deviation of the transmitter in FSK mode. The
receiver does not explicitly need to know the frequency deviation, only the channel
filter bandwidth has to be set wide enough for the complete modulation to pass.
Encoder
a bit−stream suitable for the modulator, and to extract
packets from the continuous bit−stream arriving from the
demodulator.
The Framing unit supports two different modes:
• Packet modes
• Raw modes
The micro−controller communicates with the framing
unit through a 256 byte FIFO. Data in the FIFO is organized
in Chunks. The chunk header encodes the length and what
data is contained in the payload. Chunks may contain packet
data, but also RSSI, Frequency offset, Timestamps, etc.
The AX5043 contains one FIFO. Its direction is switched
depending on whether transmit or receive mode is selected.
The FIFO can be operated in polled or interrupt driven
modes. In polled mode, the microcontroller must
periodically read the FIFO status register or the FIFO count
register to determine whether the FIFO needs servicing.
In interrupt mode EMPTY, NOT EMPTY, FULL, NOT
FULL and programmable level interrupts are provided. The
AX5043 signals interrupts by asserting (driving high) its
IRQ line. The interrupt line is level triggered, active high.
Interrupts are acknowledged by removing the cause for the
interrupt, i.e. by emptying or filling the FIFO.
Basic FIFO status (EMPTY, FULL, Overrun, Underrun,
FIFO fill level above threshold, FIFO free space above
threshold) are also provided during each SPI access on
MISO while the micro− controller shifts out the register
address on MOSI. See the SPI interface section for details.
This feature significantly reduces the number of SPI
accesses necessary during transmit and receive.
The encoder is located between the Framing Unit, the
Demodulator and the Modulator. It can optionally transform
the bit−stream in the following ways:
• It can invert the bit stream.
• It can perform differential encoding. This means that a
zero is transmitted as no change in the level, and a one
is transmitted as a change in the level.
• It can perform Manchester encoding. Manchester
encoding ensures that the modulation has no DC
content and enough transitions (changes from 0 to 1 and
from 1 to 0) for the demodulator bit timing recovery to
function correctly, but does so at a doubling of the data
rate.
• It can perform spectral shaping (also know as
whitening). Spectral shaping removes DC content of
the bit stream, ensures transitions for the demodulator
bit timing recovery, and makes sure that the transmitted
spectrum does not have discrete lines even if the
transmitted data is cyclic. It does so without adding
additional bits, i.e. without changing the data rate.
Spectral Shaping uses a self synchronizing feedback
shift register.
The encoder is programmed using the register
ENCODING, details and recommendations on usage are
given in the AX5043 Programming Manual.
Framing and FIFO
Most radio systems today group data into packets. The
framing unit is responsible for converting these packets into

inserting and checking a cyclic redundancy check (CRC)
field.
NOTE: HDLC mode follows High−Level Data Link
Control (HDLC, ISO 13239) protocol.
Packet Modes
The AX5043 offers different packet modes. For arbitrary
packet sizes HDLC is recommended since the flag and
bit−stuffing mechanism. The AX5043 also offers packet
modes with fixed packet length with a byte indicating the
length of the packet.
In packet modes a CRC can be computed automatically.
HDLC Mode is the main framing mode of the AX5043. In
this mode, the AX5043 performs automatic packet

step size of this RSSI is 0.625 dB. The value can
be used as soon as the RF frequency generation
sub−system has been programmed.

The register RSSI contains the current value of the
RSSI behind the digital IF channel filter. The step
size of this RSSI is 1 dB.

accuracy.
The demodulator also provides amplitude
information in the TRK_AMPLITUDE register.
By combining both the AGCCOUNTER and the
TRK_AMPLITUDE registers, a high resolution
(better than 0.1 dB) RSSI value can be computed
at the expense of a few arithmetic operations on
the micro−controller. The AXSEM RadioLab
Software calculates the necessary register settings
for best performance and details can be found in
the AX5043 Programming Manual.
For details on implementing a HDLC communication as
well as Wireless M−Bus please use the AXSEM RadioLab
software and see the AX5043 Programming Manual.
Raw Modes
In Raw mode, the AX5043 does not perform any packet
delimiting or byte synchronization. It simply serializes
transmit bytes and de−serializes the received bit−stream and
groups it into bytes. This mode is ideal for implementing
legacy protocols in software.
Raw mode with preamble match is similar to raw mode.
In this mode, however, the receiver does not receive
anything until it detects a user programmable bit pattern
(called the preamble) in the receive bit−stream. When it
detects the preamble, it aligns the de−serialization to it.
The preamble can be between 4 and 32 bits long.
RX AGC and RSSI
AX5043 features three receiver signal strength indicators
(RSSI):
1. RSSI before the digital IF channel filter.
The gain of the receiver is adjusted in order to
keep the analog IF filter output level inside the
working range of the ADC and demodulator. The
register AGCCOUNTER contains the current

generates various inputs for the PA:

has a frequency tracking register TRKRFFREQ to
synchronize the receiver frequency to a carrier signal. For
AFC adjustment, the frequency offset can be computed with
the following formula:

Serial Peripheral Interface
registers are at the beginning of the address space, i.e. at
addresses less than 0x70. These registers can be accessed
more efficiently using the short address form, which is
detailed in Figure 6.
Some registers are longer than 8 bits. These registers can
be accessed more quickly than by reading and writing
individual 8 bit parts. This is illustrated in Figure 8. Accesses
are not limited by 16 bits either, reading and writing data
bytes can be continued as long as desired. After each byte,
the address counter is incremented by one. Also, this access
form works with long addresses.
During the address phase of the access, the AX5043
outputs the most important status bits. This feature is
designed to speed up the software decision on what to do in
an interrupt handler.
The status bits contain the following information:
The AX5043 can be programmed via a four wire serial
interface according SPI using the pins CLK, MOSI, MISO
and SEL. Registers for setting up the AX5043 are
programmed via the serial peripheral interface in all device
modes.
When the interface signal SEL is pulled low, a
configuration data stream is expected on the input signal pin
MOSI, which is interpreted as D0...Dx, A0...Ax, R_N/W.
Data read from the interface appears on MISO.
Figure 6 shows a write/read access to the interface. The
data stream is built of an address byte including read/write
information and a data byte. Depending on the R_N/W bit
and address bits A[6..0], data D[7..0] can be written via
MOSI or read at the pin MISO. R_N/W = 0 means read
mode, R_N/W = 1 means write mode.
Most registers are 8 bits wide and accessed using the
waveforms as detailed in Figure 7. The most important

Wire Mode Interface
The direction can be chosen by programming the
PWRMODE register.
Wire mode offers two variants: synchronous or
asynchronous.
In wire mode the transmitted or received data are
transferred from and to the AX5043 using the pins DATA
and DCLK. DATA is an input when transmitting and an
output when receiving.
www.onsemi.com
24
AX5043
Wiremode is also available in 4−FSK mode. The two bits
that encode one symbol are serialized on the DATA pin. The
PWRAMP pin can be used as a synchronisation pin to allow
symbol (dibit) boundaries to be reconstructed. Gray coding
is used to reduce the number of bit errors in case of a wrong
decision. The AXSEM RadioLab software calculates the
necessary register settings for best performance and details
can be found in the AX5043 Programming Manual.
Registers for setting up the AX5043 are programmed via
the serial peripheral interface (SPI).
In synchronous wire mode the, the AX5043 always drives
DCLK. Transmit data must be applied to DATA
synchronously to DCLK, and receive data must be sampled
synchronously to DCLK. Timing is given in Figure 9. In
asynchronous wire mode, a low voltage RS232 type UART
can be connected to DATA. DCLK is optional in this mode.
The UART must be programmed to send two stop bits, but
must be able to accept only one stop bit. Both the UART data
rate and the AX5043 transmit and receive bit rate must
match. The AX5043 synchronizes the RS232 signal to its
internal transmission clock, by inserting or deleting a stop
bit.

General Purpose ADC (GPADC)
The GPADC Interrupt is cleared by reading the result
register GPADC13VALUE.
If continuous sampling is desired, set the CONT bit in
register GPADCCTRL. The desired sampling rate can be
specified in the GPADCPERIOD register.
The AX5043 features a general purpose ADC. The ADC
input pins are GPADC1 and GPADC2. The ADC converts
the voltage difference applied between pins GPADC1 and
GPADC2. If pin GPADC2 is left open, the ADC converts the
difference between an internally generated value of 800 mV
and the voltage applied at pin GPADC1.
The GPADC can only be used if the receiver is disabled.
To enable the GPADC write 1 to the GPADC13 bit in the
GPADCCTRL register. To start a single conversion, write 1
to the BUSY bit in the GPADCCTRL register. Then wait for
the BUSY bit to clear, or the GPADC Interrupt to be asserted.
SD DAC
One digital Pin (ANTSEL or PWRAMP) may be used as
a SD Digital−to−Analog Converter. A simple RC lowpass
filter is needed to smooth the output. The DAC may be used
to output RSSI, many demodulator variables, or a constant
value under software control.

REGISTER BANK DESCRIPTION
No checks are made whether the programmed
combination of bits makes sense! Bit 0 is always the LSB.
This section describes the bits of the register bank as
reference. The registers are grouped by functional block to
facilitate programming. The AXSEM RadioLab software
calculates the necessary register settings for best
performance and details can be found in the AX5043
Programming Manual.
An R in the retention column means that this register’s
contents are not lost during power−down mode.
NOTES: Whole registers or register bits marked as
reserved should be kept at their default values.
All addresses not documented here must not be
accessed, neither in reading nor in writing.
The retention column indicates if the register
contents are preserved in power−down mode.

QFN28 Recommended Pad Layout
1. PCB land and solder masking recommendations
are shown in Figure 23.
A = Clearance from PCB thermal pad to solder mask opening, 0.0635 mm minimum
B = Clearance from edge of PCB thermal pad to PCB land, 0.2 mm minimum
C = Clearance from PCB land edge to solder mask opening to be as tight as possible
to ensure that some solder mask remains between PCB pads.
D = PCB land length = QFN solder pad length + 0.1 mm
E = PCB land width = QFN solder pad width + 0.1 mm
Figure 23. PCB Land and Solder Mask Recommendations
3. For the PCB thermal pad, solder paste should be
printed on the PCB by designing a stencil with an
array of smaller openings that sum to 50% of the
QFN exposed pad area. Solder paste should be
applied through an array of squares (or circles) as
shown in Figure 24.
4. The aperture opening for the signal pads should be
between 50−80% of the QFN pad area as shown in
Figure 25.
5. Optionally, for better solder paste release, the
aperture walls should be trapezoidal and the
corners rounded.
6. The fine pitch of the IC leads requires accurate
alignment of the stencil and the printed circuit
board. The stencil and printed circuit assembly
should be aligned to within + 1 mil prior to
application of the solder paste.
7. No−clean flux is recommended since flux from
underneath the thermal pad will be difficult to
clean if water−soluble flux is used.
2. Thermal vias should be used on the PCB thermal
pad (middle ground pad) to improve thermal
conductivity from the device to a copper ground
plane area on the reverse side of the printed circuit
board. The number of vias depends on the package
thermal requirements, as determined by thermal
simulation or actual testing.
3. Increasing the number of vias through the printed
circuit board will improve the thermal
conductivity to the reverse side ground plane and
external heat sink. In general, adding more metal
through the PC board under the IC will improve
operational heat transfer, but will require careful
attention to uniform heating of the board during
assembly.
