General Description
This fully integrated PLL transmitter allows the design of simple, low-cost RF miniature transmitters for remote control and
other industrial applications. The VCO is locked to 24  fXTAL/32  fXTAL for Atmel® ATA8404/ATA8405. Thus, a
13.125MHz/13.56MHz crystal is needed for a 315MHz/433.92MHz transmitter. All other PLL and VCO peripheral elements
are integrated.
The XTO is a series resonance (current mode) oscillator. Only one capacitor and a crystal connected in series to GND are
needed as external elements in an ASK system. The internal FSK switch, together with a second capacitor, can be used for
FSK modulation. The crystal oscillator needs typically 0.6ms until the CLK output is activated if a crystal as defined in the
electrical characteristics is used (e.g., TPM crystal). For most crystals used in RKE systems, a shorter time will result.
The CLK output is switched on if the amplitude of the current flowing through the crystal has reached 35% to 80% of its final
value. This is synchronized with the 1.64/1.69MHz CLK output. As a result, the first period of the CLK output is always a full
period. The PLL is then locked < 250µs after CLK output activation. This means an additional wait time of  250µs is
necessary before the PA can be switched on and the data transmission can start. This results in a significantly lower time of
about 0.85ms between enabling the Atmel ATA8404/ATA8405 and the beginning of the data transmission which saves
battery power.
The power amplifier is an open-collector output delivering a current pulse which is nearly independent from the load
impedance and can therefore be controlled via the connected load impedance.
This output configuration enables a simple matching to any kind of antenna or to 50. A high power efficiency for the power
amplifier results if an optimized load impedance of ZLoad, opt = 380 + j340 (Atmel ATA8404) at 315MHz and
ZLoad, opt = 280 + j310 (Atmel ATA8405) at 433.92MHz is used at the 3-V supply voltage.

Functional Description
If ASK = Low, FSK = Low, and ENABLE = open or Low, the circuit is in power-down mode consuming only a very small
amount of current so that a lithium cell used as power supply can work for many years.
If the ENABLE pin is left open, ENABLE is the logical OR operation of the ASK and FSK input pins. This means, the IC can
be switched on by either the FSK of the ASK input.
If the ENABLE pin is Low and ASK or FSK are High, the IC is in idle mode where the PLL, XTO, and power amplifier are off
and the microcontroller ports controlling the ASK and FSK inputs can be used to control other devices. This can help to save
ports on the microcontroller in systems where other devices with 3-wire interface are used.
With FSK = High, ASK = Low, and ENABLE = open or High, the PLL and the XTO are switched on and the power amplifier
is off. When the amplitude of the current through the crystal has reached 35% to 80% of its final amplitude, the CLK driver is
automatically activated. The CLK output stays Low until the CLK driver has been activated. The driver is activated
synchronously with the CLK output frequency, hence, the first pulse on the CLK output is a complete period. The PLL is then
locked within < 250µs after the CLK driver has been activated, and the transmitter is then ready for data transmission.
With ASK = High, the power amplifier is switched on. This is used to perform the ASK modulation. During ASK modulation,
the IC is enabled with the FSK or the ENABLE pin.
With FSK = Low the switch at pin XTO2 is closed, with FSK = High the switch is open. To achieve a faster start-up of the
crystal oscillator, the FSK pin should be High during start-up of the XTO because the series resistance of the resonator seen
from pin XTO1 is lower if the switch is off.
The different modes of the Atmel® ATA8404/ATA8405 are listed in Table 4-1, the corresponding current consumption values
can be found in the table “Electrical Characteristics” on page 13.

ASK Mode
The Atmel ATA8404/ATA8405 is activated by ENABLE = open, FSK = High, ASK = Low. The microcontroller is then
switched to external clocking. After typically 0.6ms, the CLK driver is activated automatically (i.e., the microcontroller waits
until the XTO and CLK are ready). After another time period of  250µs, the PLL is locked and ready to transmit. The output
power can then be modulated by means of pin ASK. After transmission, ASK is switched to Low and the microcontroller
returns back to internal clocking. Then, the Atmel ATA8404/ATA8405 is switched to power-down mode with FSK = Low.

Accuracy of Frequency Deviation
The accuracy of the frequency deviation using the XTAL pulling method is about ±20% if the following tolerances are
considered. One important aspect is that the values of C0 and CM of typical crystals are strongly correlated, which reduces
the tolerance of the frequency deviation.

Using a crystal with a motional capacitance of CM = 4.37fF ±15%, a nominal load capacitance of CLNOM = 18pF and a parallel
capacitance of C0 = 1.30pF correlated with CM results in C0 = 297  CMthe correlation has a tolerance of 10%, so C0 = 267
to 326  CM). If using the internal FSK switch with CSwitch = 0.9pF ±20% and estimated parasitics of CStray = 0.7pF ±10%, the
resulting C4 and C5 values are C4 = 10pF ±1% and C5 = 15pF ±1% for a nominal frequency deviation of ±19.3kHz with worst
case tolerances of ±15.8kHz to ±23.2kHz.
4.4
Accuracy of the Center Frequency
The imaginary part of the impedance in large signal steady state oscillation IMXTO, seen into the pin 7 (XTO1), causes some
additional frequency tolerances, due to pulling of the XTO oscillation frequency. These tolerances have to be added to the
tolerances of the crystal itself (adjustment tolerance, temperature stability and ageing) and the impact on the center
frequency due to tolerances of C4, C5, CSwitch and CStray. The nominal value of IMXTO = 110, CSwitch and CStray should be
absorbed into the C4 and C5 values by using a crystal with known frequency and choosing C4 and C5, so that the XTO center
frequency equals the crystal frequency, and the frequency deviation is as expected. Then, from the nominal value, the IMXTO
has ±90 tolerances, using the pulling formula P = –IMXTO  CM  fXTO with fXTO = 13.56MHz and CM = 4.4fF an
additional frequency tolerance of P = ±16.86ppm results. If using crystals with other CM the additional frequency tolerance
can be calculated in the same way. For example, a lower CM = 3.1fF will reduce the frequency tolerance to 11.87ppm, where
a higher CM = 5.5fF increases the tolerance to 21.07ppm.
4.5
CLK Output
An output CLK signal of 1.64MHz (Atmel® ATA8404 operating at 315MHz) and 1.69MHz (Atmel ATA8405 operating at
433.92MHz) is provided for a connected microcontroller. The delivered signal is CMOS-compatible with a High and Low time
of >125ns if the load capacitance is lower than 20pF. The CLK output is Low in power-down mode due to an internal pulldown resistor. After enabling the PLL and XTO the signal stays Low until the amplitude of the crystal oscillator has reached
35% to 80% of its amplitude. Then, the CLK output is activated synchronously with its output signal so that the first period of
the CLK output signal is a full period.
4.5.1
Clock Pulse Take-over by Microcontroller
The clock of the crystal oscillator can be used for clocking the microcontroller. Atmel’s ATARx9x microcontroller family
provides the special feature of starting with an integrated RC oscillator to switch on the Atmel ATA8404/ATA8405’s external
clocking and to wait automatically until the CLK output of the Atmel ATA8404/ATA8405 is activated. After a time period of
250µs the message can be sent with crystal accuracy.

4.5.2
Output Matching and Power Setting
The output power is set by the load impedance of the antenna. The maximum output power is achieved with a load
impedance of ZLoad, opt = 380 + j340 (Atmel ATA8404) at 315MHz and ZLoad, opt = 280 + j310 (Atmel ATA8405) at
433.92MHz. A low resistive path to VS is required to deliver the DC current (see Figure 4-6 on page 10).
The power amplifier delivers a current pulse and the maximum output power is delivered to a resistive load if the 0.66pF
output capacitance of the power amplifier is compensated by the load impedance.
At the ANT1 pin, the RF output amplitude is about VS – 0.5V.
The load impedance is defined as the impedance seen from the ATA8404’s ANT1, ANT2 into the matching network. Do not
mix up this large-signal load impedance with a small-signal input impedance delivered as an input characteristic of RF
amplifiers.
The latter is measured from the application into the IC instead of from the IC into the application for a power amplifier.
The output capacitance of 0.66pF will be absorbed into the load impedance, so a real impedance of 684 (Atmel® ATA8404)
at 315MHz and 623 (Atmel ATA8405) at 433.92MHz should be measured with a network analyses at pin 5 (ANT1) with the
Atmel ATA8404/ATA8405 soldered, an optimized antenna connected, and the power amplifier switched off.
Less output power is achieved by lowering the real parallel part where the parallel imaginary part should be kept constant.
Lowering the real part of the load impedance also reduces the supply voltage dependency of the output power.
Output power measurement can be done with the circuit as shown in Figure 4-6. Please note that the component values
must be changed to compensate for the individual board parasitics until the Atmel ATA8404/ATA8405 has the right load
impedance. Also, the damping of the cable used to measure the output power must be calibrated.

Application Circuits
For the supply voltage blocking capacitor C3, a value of 68nF/X7R is recommended (see Figure 4-7 on page 11 and Figure
4-8 on page 12). C1 and C2 are used to match the loop antenna to the power amplifier. For C2, two capacitors in series
should be used to achieve a better tolerance value and to enable it to realize ZLoad,opt by using capacitors with standard
values.
Together with the pins of Atmel® ATA8404 and the PCB board wires, C1 forms a series resonance loop that suppresses the 1st
harmonic, hence the position of C1 on the PCB is important. Normally, the best suppression is achieved when C1 is placed
as close as possible to the pins ANT1 and ANT2.
The loop antenna should not exceed a width of 1.5mm, otherwise the Q-factor of the loop antenna is too high.
L1 (50nH to 100nH) can be printed on the PCB. C4 should be selected so that the XTO runs on the load resonance frequency
of the crystal. Normally, a value of 10pF results in a 12pF load-capacitance crystal due to the board parasitic capacitances
and the inductive impedance of the XTO1 pin.
