RF Front-end The RF front-end of the receiver is a low-IF heterodyne configuration that converts the input signal into about 1MHz IF signal with a typical image rejection of 30dB. According to Figure Figure 1-2 on page 4 the front-end consists of an LNA (Low Noise Amplifier), LO (Local Oscillator), I/Q mixer, polyphase low-pass filter and an IF amplifier. The PLL generates the drive frequency fLO for the mixer using a fully integrated synthesizer with integrated low noise LCVCO (Voltage Controlled Oscillator) and PLL-loop filter. The XTO (crystal oscillator) generates the reference frequency fREF = fXTO/2 (868MHz and 433MHz versions) or fREF = fXTO/3 (315MHz version). The integrated LC-VCO generates two or four times the mixer drive frequency fVCO. The I/Q signals for the mixer are generated with a divide by two or four circuit (fLO = fVCO/2 for 868MHz version, fLO = fVCO/4 for 433MHz and 315MHz versions). fVCO is divided by a factor of 128 or 64 and feeds into a phase frequency detector and is compared with fREF. The output of the phase frequency detector is fed into an integrated loop filter and thereby generates the control voltage for the VCO. If fLO is determined, fXTO can be calculated using the following formula: fREF = fLO/128 for 868MHz band, fREF = fLO/64 for 433MHz bands, fREF = fLO/64 for 315MHz bands. The XTO is a two-pin oscillator that operates at the series resonance of the quartz crystal with high current but low voltage signal, so that there is only a small voltage at the crystal oscillator frequency at pins XTAL1 and XTAL2. According to Figure 3-1, the crystal should be connected to GND with two capacitors CL1 and CL2 from XTAL1 and XTAL2 respectively. The value of these capacitors are recommended by the crystal supplier. Due to an inductive impedance at steady state oscillation and some PCB parasitics, a lower value of CL1 and CL2 is normally necessary. The value of CLx should be optimized for the individual board layout to achieve the exact value of fXTO and hence of fLO. (The best way is to use a crystal with known load resonance frequency to find the right value for this capacitor.) When designing the system in terms of receiving bandwidth and local oscillator accuracy, the accuracy of the crystal and the XTO must be considered. Figure 3-1. XTO Peripherals DVCC VS CL2 XTAL2 XTAL1 CL1 TEST3 TEST2 The nominal frequency fLO is determined by the RF input frequency fRF and the IF frequency fIF using the following formula (low-side injection): fLO = fRF – fIF To determine fLO, the construction of the IF filter must be considered. The nominal IF frequency is fIF = 950kHz. To achieve a good accuracy of the filter corner frequencies, the filter is tuned by the crystal frequency fXTO. This means that there is a fixed relationship between fIF and fLO. fIF = fLO/318 for the 315MHz band (Atmel® ATA8203) fIF = fLO/438 for the 433.92MHz band (Atmel ATA8204) fIF = fLO/915 for the 868.3MHz band (Atmel ATA8205) The relationship is designed to achieve the nominal IF frequency of: fIF = 987Hz for the 315MHz and BIF = 300kHz (Atmel ATA8203) fIF = 987kHz for the 433.92MHz and BIF = 300kHz (Atmel ATA8204) fIF = 947.8kHz for the 868.3MHz and BIF = 600kHz (Atmel ATA8205) The RF input either from an antenna or from an RF generator must be transformed to the RF input pin LNA_IN. The input impedance of this pin is provided in the electrical parameters. The parasitic board inductances and capacitances influence the input matching. The RF receiver Atmel ATA8203/ATA8204/ATA8205 exhibits its highest sensitivity if the LNA is power matched. Because of this, matching to a SAW filter, a 50Ω or an antenna is easier. Figure 14-1 on page 30 “Application Circuit” shows a typical input matching network for fRF = 315MHz, fRF = 433.92MHz or fRF = 868.3MHz to 50Ω. The input matching network shown in Table 14-2 on page 30 is the reference network for the parameters given in the electrical characteristics. 6 ATA8203/ATA8204/ATA8205 [DATASHEET] 9121D–INDCO–09/14 4. Analog Signal Processing 4.1 IF Filter The signals coming from the RF front-end are filtered by the fully integrated 4th-order IF filter. The IF center frequency is: fIF = 987kHz for the 315 MHz and BIF = 300kHz (Atmel® ATA8203) fIF = 987kHz for the 433.92 MHz and BIF = 300kHz (Atmel ATA8204) fIF = 947.9kHz for the 868.3 MHz and BIF = 600kHz (Atmel ATA8205) The nominal bandwidth is 300 kHz for ATA8203 and ATA8204 and 600 kHz for ATA8205. Limiting RSSI Amplifier The subsequent RSSI amplifier enhances the output signal of the IF amplifier before it is fed into the demodulator. The dynamic range of this amplifier is ΔRRSSI = 60dB. If the RSSI amplifier is operated within its linear range, the best S/N ratio is maintained in ASK mode. If the dynamic range is exceeded by the transmitter signal, the S/N ratio is defined by the ratio of the maximum RSSI output voltage and the RSSI output voltage due to a disturber. The dynamic range of the RSSI amplifier is exceeded if the RF input signal is approximately 60 dB higher compared to the RF input signal at full sensitivity. The S/N ratio is not affected by the dynamic range of the RSSI amplifier in FSK mode because only the hard limited signal from a high-gain limiting amplifier is used by the demodulator. The output voltage of the RSSI amplifier (VRSSI) is available at pin RSSI. Using the RSSI output signal, the signal strength of different transmitters can be distinguished. The usable input power range PRef is –100dBm to –55dBm. Figure 4-1. RSSI Characteristics Atmel ATA8204 RSSI Characteristics 3.5 4.5V -40°C 5.0V -40°C 3 5.5V -40°C 4.5V 25°C V_RSSI (V) 4.2 2.5 5.0V 25°C 5.5V 25°C 4.5V 85°C 2 5.0V 85°C 5.5V 85°C 1.5 1 -120 -110 -100 -90 -80 -70 -60 -50 -40 PIN (dBm) The output voltage of the RSSI amplifier is internally compared to a threshold voltage VTh_red. VTh_red is determined by the value of the external resistor RSens. RSens is connected between pin SENS and GND or VS. The output of the comparator is fed into the digital control logic. By this means, it is possible to operate the receiver at a lower sensitivity. If RSens is connected to GND, the receiver switches to full sensitivity. It is also possible to connect the pin SENS directly to GND to get the maximum sensitivity. If RSens is connected to VS, the receiver operates at a lower sensitivity. The reduced sensitivity is defined by the value of RSens, and the maximum sensitivity is defined by the signal-to-noise ratio of the LNA input. The reduced sensitivity depends on the signal strength at the output of the RSSI amplifier. Since different RF input networks may exhibit slightly different values for the LNA gain, the sensitivity values given in the electrical characteristics refer to a specific input matching. This matching is described and illustrated in Section 14. “Data Interface” on page 30. ATA8203/ATA8204/ATA8205 [DATASHEET] 9121D–INDCO–09/14 7 RSens can be connected to VS or GND using a microcontroller. The receiver can be switched from full sensitivity to reduced sensitivity or vice versa at any time. In polling mode, the receiver does not wake up if the RF input signal does not exceed the selected sensitivity. If the receiver is already active, the data stream at pin DATA disappears when the input signal is lower than defined by the reduced sensitivity. Instead of the data stream, the pattern according to Figure 4-2 “Steady L State Limited DATA Output Pattern” is issued at pin DATA to indicate that the receiver is still active (see Figure 13-2 on page 28 “Data Interface”). Figure 4-2. Steady L State Limited DATA Output Pattern DATA tDATA_min 4.3 tDATA_L_max FSK/ASK Demodulator and Data Filter The signal coming from the RSSI amplifier is converted into the raw data signal by the ASK/FSK demodulator. The operating mode of the demodulator is set using the bit ASK/_FSK in the OPMODE register. Logic L sets the demodulator to FSK, applying H to ASK mode. In ASK mode an automatic threshold control circuit (ATC) is employed to set the detection reference voltage to a value where a good signal to noise ratio is achieved. This circuit also implements the effective suppression of any kind of in-band noise signals or competing transmitters. If the S/N (ratio to suppress in-band noise signals) exceeds about 10dB the data signal can be detected properly. However, better values are found for many modulation schemes of the competing transmitter. The FSK demodulator is intended to be used for an FSK deviation of 10kHz ≤ Δf ≤ 100kHz. The data signal in FSK mode can be detected if the S/N (ratio to suppress in-band noise signals) exceeds about 2dB. This value is valid for all modulation schemes of a disturber signal. The output signal of the demodulator is filtered by the data filter before it is fed into the digital signal processing circuit. The data filter improves the S/N ratio as its pass-band can be adopted to the characteristics of the data signal. The data filter consists of a 1st order high-pass and a 2nd order low-pass filter. The high-pass filter cut-off frequency is defined by an external capacitor connected to pin CDEM. The cut-off frequency of the high-pass filter is defined by the following formula: 1 fcu_DF = ---------------------------------------------------------2 × π × 30 kΩ × CDEM In self-polling mode the data filter must settle very rapidly to achieve a low current consumption. Therefore, CDEM cannot be increased to very high values if self-polling is used. On the other hand, CDEM must be large enough to meet the data filter requirements according to the data signal. Recommended values for CDEM are given in the electrical characteristics. The cut-off frequency of the low-pass filter is defined by the selected baud-rate range (BR_Range). The BR_Range is defined in the OPMODE register (refer to Section 11. “Configuring the Receiver” on page 23). The BR_Range must be set in accordance to the baud-rate used. The Atmel® ATA8203/ATA8204/ATA8205 is designed to operate with data coding where the DC level of the data signal is 50%. This is valid for Manchester and Bi-phase coding. If other modulation schemes are used, the DC level should always remain within the range of VDC_min = 33% and VDC_max = 66%. The sensitivity may be reduced by up to 2dB in that condition. Each BR_Range is also defined by a minimum and a maximum edge-to-edge time (tee_sig). These limits are defined in the electrical characteristics. They should not be exceeded to maintain full sensitivity of the receiver. 8 ATA8203/ATA8204/ATA8205 [DATASHEET] 9121D–INDCO–09/14 5. Receiving Characteristics The RF receiver Atmel® ATA8203/ATA8204/ATA8205 can be operated with and without a SAW front-end filter. In a typical automotive application, a SAW filter is used to achieve better selectivity and large signal capability. The receiving frequency response without a SAW front-end filter is illustrated in Figure 5-1 “Narrow Band Receiving Frequency Response ATA8204”. This example relates to ASK mode. FSK mode exhibits a similar behavior. The plots are printed relatively to the maximum sensitivity. If a SAW filter is used, an insertion loss of about 3dB must be considered, but the overall selectivity is much better. When designing the system in terms of receiving bandwidth, the LO deviation must be considered as it also determines the IF center frequency. The total LO deviation is calculated, to be the sum of the deviation of the crystal and the XTO deviation of the Atmel ATA8203/ATA8204/ATA8205. Low-cost crystals are specified to be within ±90ppm over tolerance, temperature, and aging. The XTO deviation of the Atmel ATA8203/ATA8204/ATA8205 is an additional deviation due to the XTO circuit. This deviation is specified to be ±10ppm worst case for a crystal with CM = 7fF. If a crystal of ±90ppm is used, the total deviation is ±100ppm in that case. Note that the receiving bandwidth and the IF-filter bandwidth are equivalent in ASK mode but not in FSK mode. Figure 5-1.

Polling Circuit and Control Logic The receiver is designed to consume less than 1 mA while being sensitive to signals from a corresponding transmitter. This is achieved using the polling circuit. This circuit enables the signal path periodically for a short time. During this time the bitcheck logic verifies the presence of a valid transmitter signal. Only if a valid signal is detected, the receiver remains active and transfers the data to the connected microcontroller. If there is no valid signal present, the receiver is in sleep mode most of the time resulting in low current consumption. This condition is called polling mode. A connected microcontroller is disabled during that time. All relevant parameters of the polling logic can be configured by the connected microcontroller. This flexibility enables the user to meet the specifications in terms of current consumption, system response time, data rate etc. The receiver is very flexible with regards to the number of connection wires to the microcontroller. It can be either operated by a single bi-directional line to save ports to the connected microcontroller or it can be operated by up to five uni-directional ports. ATA8203/ATA8204/ATA8205 [DATASHEET] 9121D–INDCO–09/14 9 7. Basic Clock Cycle of the Digital Circuitry The complete timing of the digital circuitry and the analog filtering is derived from one clock. This clock cycle TClk is derived from the crystal oscillator (XTO) in combination with a divide by 28 or 30 circuit. According to Section 3. “RF Front-end” on page 6, the frequency of the crystal oscillator (fXTO) is defined by the RF input signal (fRFin) which also defines the operating frequency of the local oscillator (fLO). The basic clock cycle for Atmel® ATA8204 and Atmel ATA8205 is TClk 28/fXTO giving TClk = 2.066µs for fRF = 868.3MHz and TClk = 2.069µs for fRF = 433.92MHz. For Atmel ATA8203 the basic clock cycle is TClk = 30/fREF giving TClk = 2.0382µs for fRF = 315MHz. TClk controls the following application-relevant parameters: ● Timing of the polling circuit including bit check ● ● ● ● Timing of the analog and digital signal processing Timing of the register programming Frequency of the reset marker IF filter center frequency (fIF0) Most applications are dominated by three transmission frequencies: fTransmit = 315MHz is mainly used in USA, fTransmit = 868.3MHz and 433.92MHz in Europe. All timings are based on TClk. For the aforementioned frequencies, TClk is given as: ● Application 315MHz band (fXTO = 14.71875MHz, fLO = 314.13MHz, TClk = 2.0382µs) ● ● Application 868.3MHz band (fXTO = 13.55234MHz, fLO = 867.35MHz, TClk = 2.066µs) Application 433.92MHz band (fXTO = 13.52875MHz, fLO = 432.93MHz, TClk = 2.0696µs) For calculation of TClk for applications using other frequency bands, see table in Section 18. “Electrical Characteristics Atmel ATA8204, ATA8205” on page 35. The clock cycle of some function blocks depends on the selected baud-rate range (BR_Range), which is defined in the OPMODE register. This clock cycle TXClk is defined by the following formulas: BR_Range = 10 BR_Range0: BR_Range1: BR_Range2: BR_Range3: ATA8203/ATA8204/ATA8205 [DATASHEET] 9121D–INDCO–09/14 TXClk = 8 × TClk TXClk = 4 × TClk TXClk = 2 × TClk TXClk = 1 × TClk 8. Polling Mode According to Figure 8-1 on page 12, the receiver stays in polling mode in a continuous cycle of three different modes. In sleep mode the signal processing circuitry is disabled for the time period TSleep while consuming low current of IS = ISoff. During the start-up period, TStartup, all signal processing circuits are enabled and settled. In the following bit-check mode, the incoming data stream is analyzed bit-by-bit and compared with a valid transmitter signal. If no valid signal is present, the receiver is set back to sleep mode after the period TBit-check. This period varies according to each check as it is a statistical process. An average value for TBitcheck is given in the electrical characteristics. During TStartup and TBit-check, the current consumption is IS = ISon. The condition of the receiver is indicated on pin IC_ACTIVE. The average current consumption in polling mode is dependent on the duty cycle of the active mode and can be calculated as: I Soff × T Sleep + I Son × ( T Startup + T Bit-check ) I Spoll = --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------T Sleep + T Startup + T Bit-check During TSleep and TStartup, the receiver is not sensitive to a transmitter signal. To guarantee the reception of a transmitted command, the transmitter must start the telegram with an adequate preburst. The required length of the preburst depends on the polling parameters TSleep, TStartup, TBit-check and the start-up time of a connected microcontroller, TStart_microcontroller. Thus, TBit-check depends on the actual bit rate and the number of bits (NBit-check) to be tested. The following formula indicates how to calculate the preburst length. TPreburst ≥ TSleep + TStartup + TBit-check + TStart_microcontroller 8.1 Sleep Mode The length of period TSleep is defined by the 5-bit word Sleep of the OPMODE register, the extension factor XSleep (according to Table 11-8 on page 25), and the basic clock cycle TClk. It is calculated to be: TSleep = Sleep × XSleep × 1024 × TClk The maximum value of TSleep is about 60 ms if XSleep is set to 1. The time resolution is about 2 ms in that case. The sleep time can be extended to almost half a second by setting XSleep to 8. XSleep can be set to 8 by bit XSleepStd to “1”. Setting the configuration word Sleep to its maximal value puts the receiver into a permanent sleep mode. The receiver remains in this state until another value for Sleep is programmed into the OPMODE register. This is particularily useful when several devices share a single data line. (It can also be used for microcontroller polling: using pin POLLING/_ON, the receiver can be switched on and off.) ATA8203/ATA8204/ATA8205 [DATASHEET] 9121D–INDCO–09/14 11 Figure 8-1. Polling Mode Flow Chart Sleep Mode: All circuits for signal processing are disabled. Only XTO and Polling logic are enabled. Output level on Pin IC_ACTIVE = > low Sleep: 5-bit word defined by Sleep 0 to Sleep 4 in OPMODE register XSleep: Extension factor defined by XSleepStd according to Table 11-8 TClk: Basic clock cycle defined by fXTO and Pin MODE TStartup: Is defined by the selected baud rate range and TClk. The baud-rate range is defined by Baud 0 and Baud 1 in the OPMODE register. IS = ISoff TSleep = Sleep x XSleep x 1024 x TClk Start-up Mode: The signal processing circuits are enabled. After the start-up time (TStartup) all circuits are in stable condition and ready to receive. Output level on Pin IC_ACTIVE = > high IS = ISon TStartup Bit-check Mode: The incoming data stream is analyzed. If the timing indicates a valid transmitter signal, the receiver is set to receiving mode. Otherwise it is set to Sleep mode. Output level on Pin IC_ACTIVE = > high IS = ISon TBit-check NO Bit Check OK ? YES Receiving Mode: The receiver is turned on permanently and passes the data stream to the connected microcontroller. It can be set to Sleep mode through an OFF command via Pin DATA or Polling/_ON. Output level on Pin IC_ACTIVE = > high IS = ISon TBit-check: Depends on the result of the bit check If the bit check is ok, TBit-check depends on the number of bits to be checked (NBit-check) and on the data rate used. If the bit check fails, the average time period for that check depends on the selected baud-rate range and on TClk. The baud-rate range is defined by Baud 0 and Baud 1 in the OPMODE register. OFF Command 8.2 Bit-check Mode In bit-check mode the incoming data stream is examined to distinguish between a valid signal from a corresponding transmitter and signals due to noise. This is done by subsequent time frame checks where the distances between 2 signal edges are continuously compared to a programmable time window. The maximum number of these edge-to-edge tests, before the receiver switches to receiving mode, is also programmable. 12 ATA8203/ATA8204/ATA8205 [DATASHEET] 9121D–INDCO–09/14 8.3 Configuring the Bit Check Assuming a modulation scheme that contains two edges per bit, two time frame checks verify one bit. This is valid for Manchester, Bi-phase, and most other modulation schemes. The maximum count of bits to be checked can be set to 0, 3, 6, or 9 bits using the variable NBit-check in the OPMODE register. This implies 0, 6, 12, and 18 edge-to-edge checks respectively. If NBit-check is set to a higher value, the receiver is less likely to switch to receiving mode due to noise. In the presence of a valid transmitter signal, the bit check takes less time if NBit-check is set to a lower value. In polling mode, the bit-check time is not dependent on NBit-check. Figure 8-2 shows an example where three bits are tested successfully and the data signal is transferred to pin DATA. Figure 8-2. Timing Diagram for Complete Successful Bit Check Bit check ok (Number of checked Bits: 3) IC_ACTIVE Bit check 1/2 Bit 1/2 Bit 1/2 Bit 1/2 Bit 1/2 Bit 1/2 Bit Dem_out Data_out (DATA) TStart-up TBit-check Start-up mode Start-check mode Receiving mode According to Figure 8-3, the time window for the bit check is defined by two separate time limits. If the edge-to-edge time tee is in between the lower bit-check limit TLim_min and the upper bit-check limit TLim_max, the check continues. If tee is smaller than TLim_min or tee exceeds TLim_max, the bit check is terminated and the receiver switches to sleep mode. Figure 8-3. Valid Time Window for Bit Check 1/fSig Dem_out tee TLim_min TLim_max For best noise immunity using a low span between TLim_min and TLim_max is recommended. This is achieved using a fixed frequency at a 50% duty cycle for the transmitter preburst. A “11111...” or a “10101...” sequence in Manchester or Bi-phase is suitable for this. A good compromise between receiver sensitivity and susceptibility to noise is a time window of ±30% regarding the expected edge-to-edge time tee. Using pre-burst patterns that contain various edge-to-edge time periods, the bit-check limits must be programmed according to the required span. The bit-check limits are determined by means of the formula below. TLim_min = Lim_min × TXClk TLim_max = (Lim_max – 1) × TXClk Lim_min and Lim_max are defined by a 5-bit word each within the LIMIT register. Using above formulas, Lim_min and Lim_max can be determined according to the required TLim_min, TLim_max and TXClk. The time resolution defining TLim_min and TLim_max is TXClk. The minimum edge-to-edge time tee (tDATA_L_min, tDATA_H_min) is defined according to the Section 8.6 “Digital Signal Processing” on page 15. The lower limit should be set to Lim_min ≥ 10. The maximum value of the upper limit is Lim_max = 63. If the calculated value for Lim_min is < 19, it is recommended to check 6 or 9 bits (NBit-check) to prevent switching to receiving mode due to noise. ATA8203/ATA8204/ATA8205 [DATASHEET] 9121D–INDCO–09/14 13 Figure 8-4, Figure 8-5, and Figure 8-6 illustrate the bit check for the bit-check limits Lim_min = 14 and Lim_max = 24. When the IC is enabled, the signal processing circuits are enabled during TStartup. The output of the ASK/FSK demodulator (Dem_out) is undefined during that period. When the bit check becomes active, the bit-check counter is clocked with the cycle TXClk. Figure 8-4 shows how the bit check proceeds if the bit-check counter value CV_Lim is within the limits defined by Lim_min and Lim_max at the occurrence of a signal edge. In Figure 8-5 the bit check fails as the value CV_Lim is lower than the limit Lim_min. The bit check also fails if CV_Lim reaches Lim_max. This is illustrated in Figure 8-6. Figure 8-4.

The bit check is a statistical process and TBit-check varies for each check. Therefore, an average value for TBit-check is given in the electrical characteristics. TBit-check depends on the selected baud-rate range and on TClk. A higher baud-rate range causes a lower value for TBit-check resulting in a lower current consumption in polling mode. In the presence of a valid transmitter signal, TBit-check is dependent on the frequency of that signal, fSig, and the count of the checked bits, NBit-check. A higher value for NBit-check thereby results in a longer period for TBit-check requiring a higher value for the transmitter pre-burst TPreburst. 8.5 Receiving Mode If the bit check was successful for all bits specified by NBit-check, the receiver switches to receiving mode. According to Figure 8-2 on page 13, the internal data signal is switched to pin DATA in that case, and the data clock is available after the start bit has been detected (see Figure 9-1 on page 18). A connected microcontroller can be woken up by the negative edge at pin DATA or by the data clock at pin DATA_CLK. The receiver stays in that condition until it is switched back to polling mode explicitly. 8.6 Digital Signal Processing The data from the ASK/FSK demodulator (Dem_out) is digitally processed in different ways and as a result converted into the output signal data. This processing depends on the selected baud-rate range (BR_Range). Figure 8-7 illustrates how Dem_out is synchronized by the extended clock cycle TXClk. This clock is also used for the bit-check counter. Data can change its state only after TXClk has elapsed. The edge-to-edge time period tee of the Data signal as a result is always an integral multiple of TXClk. The minimum time period between two edges of the data signal is limited to tee ≥ TDATA_min. This implies an efficient suppression of spikes at the DATA output. At the same time it limits the maximum frequency of edges at DATA. This eases the interrupt handling of a connected microcontroller. The maximum time period for DATA to stay low is limited to TDATA_L_max. This function is employed to ensure a finite response time in programming or switching off the receiver via pin DATA. TDATA_L_max is therefore longer than the maximum time period indicated by the transmitter data stream. Figure 8-9 on page 16 gives an example where Dem_out remains Low after the receiver has switched to receiving mode. Figure 8-7.

Steady L State Limited DATA Output Pattern After Transmission IC_ACTIVE Bit check Dem_out Data_out (DATA) tDATA_min Start-up mode Bit-check mode tDATA_L_max Receiving mode After the end of a data transmission, the receiver remains active. Depending of the bit Noise_Disable in the OPMODE register, the output signal at pin DATA is high or random noise pulses appear at pin DATA (see Section 10. “Digital Noise Suppression” on page 21). The edge-to-edge time period tee of the majority of these noise pulses is equal or slightly higher than TDATA_min. 8.7 Switching the Receiver Back to Sleep Mode The receiver can be set back to polling mode via pin DATA or via pin POLLING/_ON. When using pin DATA, this pin must be pulled to low by the connected microcontroller for the period t1. Figure 8-10 illustrates the timing of the OFF command (see Figure 13-2 on page 28). The minimum value of t1 depends on the BR_Range. The maximum value for t1 is not limited; however, exceeding the specified value to prevent erasing the reset marker is not recommended. Note also that an internal reset for the OPMODE and the LIMIT register is generated if t1 exceeds the specified values. This item is explained in more detail in the Section 11. “Configuring the Receiver” on page 23. Setting the receiver to sleep mode via DATA is achieved by programming bit 1 to “1” during the register configuration. Only one sync pulse (t3) is issued. The duration of the OFF command is determined by the sum of t1, t2, and t10. The sleep time TSleep elapses after the OFF command. Note that the capacitive load at pin DATA is limited (see Section 14. “Data Interface” on page 30). Figure 8-10.

The pin POLLING/_ON must be held to low for the time period ton2. After the positive edge on pin POLLING/_ON and the delay ton3, the polling mode is active and the sleep time TSleep elapses. Using the POLLING/_ON command is faster than using pin DATA; however, this requires the use of an additional connection to the microcontroller. Figure 8-12 “Activating the Receiving Mode using Pin “POLLING/_ON” illustrates how to set the receiver to receiving mode using the pin POLLING/_ON. The pin POLLING/_ON must be held to low. After the delay ton1, the receiver changes from sleep mode to start-up mode regardless of the programmed values for TSleep and NBit-check. As long as POLLING/_ON is held to low, the values for TSleep and NBit-check is ignored, but not deleted (see Section 10. “Digital Noise Suppression” on page 21). If the receiver is polled exclusively by a microcontroller, TSleep must be programmed to 31 (permanent sleep mode). In this case the receiver remains in sleep mode as long as POLLING/_ON is held to high. ATA8203/ATA8204/ATA8205 [DATASHEET] 9121D–INDCO–09/14 17 9. Data Clock The pin DATA_CLK makes a data shift clock available to sample the data stream into a shift register. Using this data clock, a microcontroller can easily synchronize the data stream. This clock can only be used for Manchester and Bi-phase coded signals. 9.1 Generation of the Data Clock After a successful bit check, the receiver switches from polling mode to receiving mode and the data stream is available at pin DATA. In receiving mode, the data clock control logic (Manchester/Bi-phase demodulator) is active and examines the incoming data stream. This is done, as with the bit check, by subsequent time frame checks where the distance between two edges is continuously compared to a programmable time window. As illustrated in Figure 9-1 on page 18, only two distances between two edges in Manchester and Bi-phase coded signals are valid (T and 2T). The limits for T are the same as used with the bit check. They can be programmed in the LIMIT-register (Lim_min and Lim_max, see Table 11-10 on page 26 and Table 11-11 on page 26). The limits for 2T are calculated as follows: Lower limit of 2T: Lim_min_2T = (Lim_min + Lim_max) – (Lim_max – Lim_min)/2 Upper limit of 2T: Lim_max_2T= (Lim_min + Lim_max) + (Lim_max – Lim_min)/2 (If the result for ’Lim_min_2T’ or ’Lim_max_2T’ is not an integer value, it is rounded up.) The data clock is available, after the data clock control logic has detected the distance 2T (Start bit) and is issued with the delay tDelay after the edge on pin DATA (see Figure 9-1 on page 18). If the data clock control logic detects a timing or logical error (Manchester code violation), as illustrated in Figure 9-2 on page 19 and Figure 9-3 on page 19, it stops the output of the data clock. The receiver remains in receiving mode and starts with the bit check. If the bit check was successful and the start bit has been detected, the data clock control logic starts again with the generation of the data clock (see Figure 9-4 on page 19). Use the function of the data clock only in conjunction with the bit check 3, 6 or 9 is recommended. If the bit check is set to 0 or the receiver is set to receiving mode using the pin POLLING/_ON, the data clock is available if the data clock control logic has detected the distance 2T (Start bit). Note that for Bi-phase-coded signals, the data clock is issued at the end of the bit. Figure 9-1.

For the rising edge, tDelay1 depends on the capacitive load CL at pin DATA and the external pull-up resistor Rpup. For the falling edge, tDelay1 depends additionally on the external voltage VX (see Figure 9-5, Figure 9-6 on page 20 and Figure 13-2 on page 28). When the level of Data_In is equal to the level of Data_Out, the data clock is issued after an additional delay tDelay2. Note that the capacitive load at pin DATA is limited. If the maximum tolerated capacitive load at pin DATA is exceeded, the data clock disappears (see Section 14. “Data Interface” on page 30). Figure 9-5.

Digital Noise Suppression After a data transmission, digital noise appears on the data output (see Figure 10-1 “Output of Digital Noise at the End of the Data Stream”). To prevent digital noise keeping the connected microcontroller busy, it can be suppressed in two different ways: ● Automatic Noise Suppression ● 10.1 Controlled Noise Suppression by the Microcontroller Automatic Noise Suppression The receiver changes to bit-check mode at the end of a valid data stream if the bit Noise_Disable (Table 11-9 on page 25) in the OPMODE register is set to 1 (default). The digital noise is suppressed, and the level at pin DATA is high. The receiver changes back to receiving mode, if the bit check was successful. This method of noise suppression is recommended if the data stream is Manchester or Bi-phase coded and is active after power on. Figure 10-3 “Occurrence of a Pulse at the End of the Data Stream” illustrates the behavior of the data output at the end of a data stream. If the last period of the data stream is a high period (rising edge to falling edge), a pulse occurs on pin DATA. The length of the pulse depends on the selected baud-rate range. Figure 10-1.

To suppress the noise, the pin POLLING/_ON must be set to low. The receiver remains in receiving mode. The OFF command then causes a change to start-up mode. The programmed sleep time (see Table 11-7 on page 25) is not executed because the level at pin POLLING/_ON is low; however, the bit check is active in this case. The OFF command also activates the bit check if the pin POLLING/_ON is held to low. The receiver changes back to receiving mode if the bit check was successful. To activate the polling mode at the end of the data transmission, the pin POLLING/_ON must be set to high. This way of suppressing the noise is recommended if the data stream is not Manchester or Bi-phase coded. Figure 10-4.

Configuring the Receiver The Atmel® ATA8203/ATA8204/ATA8205 receiver is configured using two 12-bit RAM registers called OPMODE and LIMIT. The registers can be programmed by means of the bidirectional DATA port. If the register content has changed due to a voltage drop, this condition is indicated by a the output pattern called reset marker (RM). If this occurs, the receiver must be reprogrammed. After a Power-On Reset (POR), the registers are set to default mode. If the receiver is operated in default mode, there is no need to program the registers. Table 11-3 on page 23 shows the structure of the registers. According to Table 11-1, bit 1 defines whether the receiver is set back to polling mode using the OFF command (see “Receiving Mode” on page 15) or whether it is programmed. Bit 2 represents the register address. It selects the appropriate register to be programmed. For high programming reliability, bit 15 (Stop bit), at the end of the programming operation, must be set to 0. Table 11-1.

Conservation of the Register Information The Atmel® ATA8203/ATA8204/ATA8205 uses an integrated power-on reset and brown-out detection circuitry as a mechanism to preserve the RAM register information. According to Figure 12-1, a power-on reset (POR) is generated if the supply voltage VS drops below the threshold voltage VThReset. The default parameters are programmed into the configuration registers in that condition. The POR is cancelled after the minimum reset period tRst when VS exceeds VThReset. A POR is also generated when the supply voltage of the receiver is turned on. To indicate that condition, the receiver displays a reset marker (RM) at pin DATA after a reset. The RM is represented by the fixed frequency fRM at a 50% duty-cycle. RM can be cancelled using a low pulse t1 at pin DATA. The RM has the following characteristics: ● fRM is lower than the lowest feasible frequency of a data signal. Due to this, RM cannot be misinterpreted by the connected microcontroller. ● If the receiver is set back to polling mode using pin DATA, RM cannot be cancelled accidentally if t1 is applied as described in the proposal in Section 13. “Programming the Configuration Register” on page 28. Using this conservation mechanism, the receiver cannot lose its register information without communicating this condition using the reset marker RM. Figure 12-1.

To start programming, the serial data line DATA is pulled to low by the microcontroller for the time period t1. When DATA has been released, the receiver becomes the master device. When the programming delay period t2 has elapsed, the receiver emits 15 subsequent synchronization pulses with the pulse length t3. After each of these pulses, a programming window occurs. The delay until the program window starts is determined by t4, the duration is defined by t5. The individual bits are set within the programming window. If the microcontroller pulls down pin DATA for the time period t7 during t5, the corresponding bit is set to “0”. If no programming pulse t7 is issued, this bit is set to “1”. All 15 bits are programmed this way. The time frame to program a bit is defined by t6. Bit 15 is followed by the equivalent time window t9. During this window, the equivalence acknowledge pulse t8 (E_Ack) occurs if the just programmed mode word is equivalent to the mode word that was already stored in that register. E_Ack should be used to verify that the mode word was correctly transferred to the register. The register must be programmed twice in that case. A register can be programmed when the receiver is in both sleep-mode and active mode. During programming, the LNA, LO, low-pass filter, IF-amplifier, and the FSK/MSK demodulator are disabled. The t1 pulse is used to start the programming or to switch the receiver back to polling mode (OFF command). (The receiver is switched back to polling mode with the OFF command if bit 1 is set to „1“.) The following convention should be considered for the length of the programming start pulse t1: 28 ATA8203/ATA8204/ATA8205 [DATASHEET] 9121D–INDCO–09/14 Using a t1 value of t1 (min) < t1 < 5632 TClk (where t1 (min) is the minimum specified value for the relevant BR_Range) when the receiver is active i.e., not in reset mode initiates the programming or OFF command. However, if this t1 value is used when the receiver is in reset mode, programming or OFF command is NOT initiated and RM remains present at pin DATA. Note, the RM cannot be deleted when using this t1 value. Using a t1 value of t1 > 7936 ´ TClk, programming or OFF command is initiated when the receiver is in both reset mode and active mode. The registers PMODE and LIMIT are set to the default values and the RM is deleted, if present. This t1 values can be used if the connected microcontroller detects an RM. Additionally, this t1 value can generally be used if the receiver operates in default mode. Note that the capacitive load at pin DATA is limited.

It can be connected using the pullup resistor Rpup up to 20V and is short-circuit-protected. The applicable pull-up resistor Rpup depends on the load capacity CL at pin DATA and the selected BR_range (see Table 14-1). Table 14-1.
