Wireless Components 3-4 Specification, October 2002 TDK 5111 Functional Description 8 CLKOUT Clock output to supply an external device. An external pull-up resistor has to be added in accordance to the driving requirements of the external device. A clock frequency of 2.46 MHz is selected by a logic low at CLKDIV input (pin 9).

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 630 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 64. The phase detector is a Type IV PD with charge pump. The passive loop filter is realized on chip. In all 315 MHz applications, the CSEL pin is not connected (logic high). 3.4.2 Crystal Oscillator The crystal oscillator operates at 9.84 MHz. Frequencies of 615 kHz or 2.46 MHz are available at the clock output CLKOUT (pin 8) to drive the clock input of a micro controller. The frequency at CLKOUT (pin 8) is controlled by the signal at CLKDIV (pin 9) Table 3-3 CLKDIV (pin 9) 1) 2.46 MHz 615 kHz Low Open2) 1) Low: 2) Open: CLKOUT Frequency Voltage at pin < 0.2 V Pin open To achieve FSK transmission, the oscillator frequency can be detuned by a fixed amount by switching an external capacitor via FSKOUT (pin 11).

It is possible to feed the power amplifier directly from the voltage controlled oscillator. This is controlled by FSEL (pin 15) as described in the table below. This is not recommended for this frequency range. Table 3-5 FSEL (pin 15) 1) 315 MHz 630 MHz (not recommended) Low Open2) 1) Low: 2) Open: Radiated Frequency Band Voltage at pin < 0.5 V Pin open The Power Amplifier can be switched on and off by the signal at ASKDTA (pin 6). Table 3-6 ASKDTA (pin 6) 1) Low Open2), High3) 1) Low: 2) Open: 3) High: Power Amplifier OFF ON Voltage at pin < 0.5 V Pin open Voltage at pin > 1.5 V 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. In all 315 MHz applications, the pin FSEL is connected to ground. 3.4.4 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. Wireless Components 3-9 Specification, October 2002 TDK 5111 Functional Description 3.4.5 Power Modes The IC provides three power modes, the POWER DOWN MODE, the PLL ENABLE MODE and the TRANSMIT MODE. 3.4.5.1 Power Down Mode In the POWER DOWN MODE the complete chip is switched off. The current consumption is typically 0.25 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. 3.4.5.2 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 4 mA. 3.4.5.3 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 13 mA when using a proper transforming network at PAOUT, see Figure 4-1. 3.4.5.4 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. The principle schematic of the power mode control circuitry is shown in Figure 3-5.

To achieve this, a NIC oscillator type is implemented in the TDK 5111. The input impedance of this oscillator is a negative resistance in series to an inductance.

If the FSK switch is open, Cv2 (C7 in the application diagram) can be calculated. Cv 2 = C 7 = 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. The 50Ω-Output testboard shows an FSK-deviation of +/- 22.5 kHz, typically. 4.6 Design hints on the buffered 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 Table 4-2 fCLKOUT= 615 kHz CL[pF] RL[kOhm] CL[pF] RL[kOhm] 5 39 5 10 10 18 10 4.7 20 10 20 2.2 Remark: Wireless Components fCLKOUT= 2.46 MHz To achieve a low current consumption and a low spurious radiation, the largest possible RL should be chosen. 4-8 Specification, October 2002 TDK 5111 Applications 4.7 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 4-6. 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 4-6 Equivalent power amplifier tank circuit The optimum load at the collector of the power amplifier for “critical” operation under idealized conditions at resonance is: R LC = VS 2 2 PO The theoretical value of RLC for an RF output power of Po= 10 mW is: R LC = 32 = 450Ω 2 ∗ 0.01 “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 4-9 Specification, October 2002 TDK 5111 Applications 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 4-7. The collector efficiency E is defined as E= PO VS I C The diagram of Figure 4-7 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, 250 Ω is the optimum impedance for operation at 3 V. For an approximation of ROPT and POUT at other supply voltages those 2 formulas can be used: ROPT ~ VS and POUT ~ ROPT 18 16 14 12 10 Pout [mW] 10*Ec 8 6 4 2 0 0 100 200 300 400 500 RL [Ohm] Power_E_vs_RL.wmf Figure 4-7 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. Wireless Components 4 - 10 Specification, October 2002 TDK 5111 Applications As Figure 4-8 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 315 MHz. The effective load resistance of this circuit is RL = 250 Ω, which is the optimum impedance for operation at 3 V. This will lead to a dip of the collector current of approx. 10%. 18 16 14 12 10 Is [mA] Pout [dBm] 8 6 4 2 0 285 300 315 330 345 360 375 fout [MHz] pout_vs_frequ.wmf Figure 4-8 Output power and collector current vs. frequency 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 (250 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 250+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 TDK5111 has to be in PLL-Enable-Mode. 7. Measure the S-parameter S11 Wireless Components 4 - 11 Specification, October 2002 TDK 5111 Applications Plot0.pcx Figure 4-9 Sparam_measured_200M Above you can see the measurement of the evalboard with a span of 200 MHz. The evalboard has been optimized for 3 V. The load is about 250+j0 Ω at 315 MHz. 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 the 50 Ω-Output testboard can be summarized as: Table 4-3 Frequency Output Power 315 MHz Testboard 315 MHz +10 dBm 315 MHz − 9.84 MHz −72 dBc 315 MHz + 9.84 MHz −73 dBc 2nd harmonic −55 dBc 3rd harmonic −77 dBc There should be no problem to achieve compliance with the FCC-radioregulations.
