General Description
The Atmel® ATA5823/ATA5824 is a highly integrated UHF ASK/FSK multi-channel half-duplex transceiver with low power
consumption supplied in a small 7mm  7mm QFN48 package. The receive part is built as a fully integrated low-IF receiver,
whereas direct PLL modulation with the fractional-N synthesizer is used for FSK transmission and switching of the power
amplifier for ASK transmission.
The device supports data rates of 1Kbit/s to 20Kbit/s (FSK) and 1Kbit/s to 10Kbit/s (ASK) in Manchester, Bi-phase and other
codes in transparent mode. The Atmel ATA5824 can be used in the 433MHz to 435MHz band and the Atmel ATA5823 in the
313MHz to 316MHz band. The very high system integration level results in few numbers of external components needed.
Due to its blocking and selectivity performance, together with a typical narrow-band key-fob loop antenna with 15dB to 20dB
loss, a bulky blocking SAW is not needed in the key fob application. Additionally, the building blocks needed for a typical
RKE and access control system on both sides, the base and the mobile stations, are fully integrated.
Its digital control logic with self polling and protocol generation provides a fast challenge response system without using a
high-performance microcontroller. Therefore, the Atmel ATA5823/ATA5824 contains a FIFO buffer RAM and can compose
and receive the physical messages themselves. This provides more time for the microcontroller to carry out other functions
such as calculating crypto algorithms, composing the logical messages and controlling other devices. Due to that, a standard
4-/8-bit microcontroller without special periphery and clocked with the delivered CLK output of about 4.5MHz is sufficient to
control the communication link. This is especially valid for passive entry go and access control systems, where within less
than 100 ms several communication responses with arbitration of the communication partner have to be handled. It is hence
possible to design bi-directional RKE and passive entry go systems with a fast challenge response crypto function and
prevention against relay attacks.

Figure 3-1 shows a typical 433.92MHz RKE key fob application. The external components are 10 capacitors, 1 resistor, 2
inductors and a crystal. C1 to C3 are 68nF voltage supply blocking capacitors. C5 is a 10nF supply blocking capacitor. C6 is a
15nF fixed capacitor used for the internal quasi-peak detector and for the high-pass frequency of the data filter. C7 to C11 are
RF matching capacitors in the range of 1pF to 33pF. L1 is a matching inductor of about 5.6nH to 56nH. L2 is a feed inductor
of about 120nH. A load capacitor of 9pF for the crystal is integrated. R1 is typically 22k and sets the output power to about
5.5dBm. The loop antenna’s quality factor is somewhat reduced by this application due to the quality factor of L2 and the
RX/TX switch. On the other hand, this lower quality factor is necessary to have a robust design with a bandwidth that is wide
enough for production tolerances. Due to the single-ended and ground-referenced design, the loop antenna can be a freeform wire around the application as it is usually employed in RKE unidirectional systems. The Atmel® ATA5823/ATA5824
provides sufficient isolation and robust pulling behavior of internal circuits from the supply voltage as well as an integrated
VCO inductor to allow this. Since the efficiency of a loop antenna is proportional to the square of the surrounded area, it is
beneficial to have a large loop around the application board with a lower quality factor to relax the tolerance specification of
the RF matching components and to get a high antenna efficiency in spite of their lower quality factor.

Figure 4-1 shows a typical 433.92MHz VCC = 4.4V to 5.25V RKE car application. The external components are 11
capacitors, 1 resistor, 4 inductors, a SAW filter and a crystal. C1, C3 and C4 are 68nF voltage supply blocking capacitors. C2
is a 2.2µF supply blocking capacitor for the internal voltage regulator. C5 is a 10nF supply blocking capacitor. C6 is a 15nF
fixed capacitor used for the internal quasi-peak detector and for the high-pass frequency of the data filter. C7 to C11 are RF
matching capacitors in the range of 1pF to 33pF. L2 to L4 are matching inductors of about 5.6nH to 56nH. A load capacitor for
the crystal of 9pF is integrated. R1 is typically 22kand sets the output power at RFOUT to about 10dBmSince a quarter
wave or PCB antenna, which has high efficiency and wideband operation, is typically used here, it is recommended to use a
SAW filter to achieve high sensitivity in case of powerful out-of-band blockers. L1, C10 and C9 together form a low-pass filter,
which is needed to filter out the harmonics in the transmitted signal to meet regulations.

RF Transceiver in Half-duplex Mode
According to Figure 2-2 on page 6, the RF transceiver consists of an LNA (Low-Noise Amplifier), PA (Power Amplifier),
RX/TX switch, fractional-N frequency synthesizer and the signal processing part with mixer, IF filter, IF amplifier with analog
RSSI, FSK/ASK demodulator, data filter and data slicer.
In receive mode the LNA pre-amplifies the received signal which is converted down to 226kHz intermediate frequency (IF),
filtered and amplified before it is fed into an FSK/ASK demodulator, data filter and data slicer. The RSSI (Received Signal
Strength Indicator) signal and the raw digital output signal of the demodulator are available at the pins RSSI and on TEST3
(open drain output). The demodulated data signal Demod_Out is fed into the digital control logic where it is evaluated and
buffered as described in section “Digital Control Logic” on page 32.
In transmit mode the fractional-N frequency synthesizer generates the TX frequency which is fed into the PA. In ASK mode
the PA is modulated by the signal PA_Enable. In FSK mode the PA is enabled and the signal TX_DATA (FSK) modulates
the fractional-N frequency synthesizer. The frequency deviation is digitally controlled and internally fixed to about ±19.5kHz
(see Table 6-1 on page 25 for exact values). The transmit data can also be buffered as described in section “Digital Control
Logic” on page 32. A lock detector within the synthesizer ensures that the transmission will only start if the synthesizer is
locked.
In half-duplex mode the RX/TX switch can be used to combine the LNA input and the PA output to a single antenna with a
minimum of losses.
Transparent modes without buffering of RX and TX data are also available to allow protocols and coding schemes other than
the internal supported Manchester encoding, like PWM and pulse position coding.
5.1
Low-IF Receiver
The receive path consists of a fully integrated low-IF receiver. It fulfills the sensitivity, blocking, selectivity, supply voltage and
supply current specification needed to manufacture an automotive key fob for RKE and PEG systems without the use of a
SAW blocking filter (see Figure 3-1 on page 7). The receiver can be connected to the roof antenna in the car when using an
additional blocking SAW front-end filter as shown in Figure 4-1 on page 8.
At 433.92MHz the receiver has a typical system noise figure of 6.5dB, a system I1dBCP of –30dBm and a system IIP3 of
–20dBm. The signal path is linear for disturbers up to the I1dBCP and there is hence no AGC or switching of the LNA
needed to achieve a better blocking performance. This receiver uses an IF of about 226kHz (see Section 14. “Electrical
Characteristics: General” on page 61 number 2.10 for exact values), the typical image rejection is 30dB and the typical 3dB
system bandwidth is 220kHz (fIF = 226kHz ±110kHz, flo_IF = 116kHz and fhi_IF = 336kHz). The demodulator needs a signal to
noise ratio of 8dB for 20Kbit/s Manchester with ±19.5kHz frequency deviation in FSK mode, thus, the resulting sensitivity at
433.92MHz is typically –105.5dBm.
Due to the low phase noise and spurious of the synthesizer in receive mode(1) together with the eighth order integrated IF
filter the receiver has a better selectivity and blocking performance than more complex double superhet receivers, without
using external components and without numerous spurious receiving frequencies.
Note:

–120dBC/Hz at ±1MHz and –72dBC at ±fXTO at 433.92MHz
A low-IF architecture is also less sensitive to second-order intermodulation (IIP2) than direct conversion receivers where
every pulse or amplitude modulated signal (especially the signals from TDMA systems like GSM) demodulates to the
receiving signal band at second-order non-linearities.

Input Matching at RF_IN
The measured input impedances as well as the values of a parallel equivalent circuit of these impedances can be seen in
Table 5-1. The highest sensitivity is achieved with power matching of these impedances to the source impedance of 50.

The matching of the LNA Input to 50 was done with the circuit according to Figure 5-1 and with the values of the matching
elements given in Table 5-2. The reflection coefficients were always ≤ –10dB. Note that value changes of C1 and L1 may be
necessary to compensate individual board layout parasitics. The measured typical FSK and ASK Manchester code
sensitivities with a Bit Error Rate (BER) of 10-3 are shown in Table 5-3 on page 10 and Table 5-4 on page 10. These
measurements were done with multilayer inductors having quality factors according to Table 5-2, resulting in estimated
matching losses of 0.8dB at 315MHz and 0.8dB at 433.92MHz. These losses can be estimated when calculating the parallel
equivalent resistance of the inductor with Rloss = 2    f  L  QL and the matching loss with 10 log(1+RIn_p/Rloss).
With an ideal inductor, for example, the sensitivity at 433.92MHz/FSK/20Kbit/s/ ±19.5kHz/Manchester can be improved from
–105.5dBm to –106.7dBm. The sensitivity also depends on the values in the registers of the control logic which examines
the incoming data stream. The examination limits must be programmed in control registers 5 and 6. The measurements in
Table 5-3 and Table 5-4 on page 10 are based on the values of registers 5 and 6 according to Table 11-3 on page 55.

Sensitivity versus Supply Voltage, Temperature and Frequency Offset
To calculate the behavior of a transmission system it is important to know the reduction of the sensitivity due to several
influences. The most important are frequency offset due to crystal oscillator (XTO) and crystal frequency (XTAL) errors,
temperature and supply voltage dependency of the noise figure and IF filter bandwidth of the receiver. Figure 5-2 shows the
typical sensitivity at 433.92MHz/FSK/20Kbit/s/±19.5kHz/Manchester versus the frequency offset between transmitter and
receiver at Tamb = –40°C, +25°C and +105°C and supply voltage VS = VS1 = VS2 = 2.15V, 3.0V and 3.6V.

Frequency Offset (kHz)
As can be seen in Figure 5-2 on page 11 the supply voltage has almost no influence on the sensitivity. The temperature has
an influence of about +1.5/–0.7dB and a frequency offset of ±85kHz also influences by about ±1dB. All these influences,
combined with the sensitivity of a typical IC (–105.5dBm), are then within a range of –102.5dBm and –107dBm
overtemperature, supply voltage and frequency offset. The integrated IF filter has an additional production tolerance of
±10kHz, hence, a frequency offset between the receiver and the transmitter of ±75kHz can be accepted for XTAL and XTO
tolerances.
Note:
For the demodulator used in the Atmel ATA5823/ATA5824, the tolerable frequency offset does not change with
the data frequency, hence, the value of ±75kHz is valid for 1Kbit/s to 20Kbit/s.
This small sensitivity change over supply voltage, frequency offset and temperature is very unusual in such a receiver. It is
achieved by an internal, very fast and automatic frequency correction in the FSK demodulator after the IF filter, which leads
to a higher system margin. This frequency correction tracks the input frequency very quickly, if however, the input frequency
makes a larger step (e.g., if the system changes between different communication partners), the receiver has to be
restarted. This can be done by switching back to IDLE mode and then again to RX mode. For that purpose, an automatic
mode is also available. This automatic mode switches to IDLE mode and back into RX mode every time a bit error occurs
(see section “Digital Control Logic” on page 32).

Frequency Accuracy of the Crystals in Bi-directional RKE/PEG
The XTO is an amplitude regulated Pierce type oscillator with integrated load capacitors. The initial tolerances (due to the
frequency tolerance of the XTAL, the integrated capacitors on XTAL1, XTAL2 and the XTO’s initial transconductance gm)
can be compensated to a value within ±0.5ppm by measuring the CLK output frequency and tuning of fRF by programming
the control registers 2 and 3 (see Table 9-7 on page 34 and Table 9-10 on page 35). The XTO then has a remaining influence
of less than ±2ppm overtemperature and supply voltage due to the bandgap controlled gm of the XTO. Thus only 2.5ppm
add to the frequency stability of the used crystals overtemperature and aging.
The needed frequency stability of the used crystals overtemperature and aging is hence
±75kHz/433.92MHz – 2  ±2.5ppm = ±167.84ppm for 433.92MHz. Thus, the used crystals in receiver and transmitter each
need to be better than ±83.9ppm for 433.92MHz.

Frequency Accuracy of the Crystals in a Combined RKE/PEG and TPM System
In a tire pressure measurement system working at 433.92MHz and using a TPM transmitter Atmel® ATA5757 and a
transceiver Atmel ATA5824 as a receiver, the higher frequency tolerances and the tolerance of the frequency deviation of
this transmitter has to be considered.
In the TPM transmitter the crystal has an frequency error overtemperature –40°C to +125°C, aging and tolerance of ±80ppm
(±34.7kHz at 433.92MHz). The tolerances of the XTO, the capacitors used for FSK-Modulation and the stray capacitors,
causing an additional frequency error of ±30ppm (±13kHz at 433.92MHz). The frequency deviation of such a transmitter
varies between ±16kHz and ±24kHz, since a higher frequency deviation is equivalent to an frequency error, this has to be
considered as an additional ±24kHz – ±19.5kHz = ±4.5kHz frequency tolerance. All tolerances added, these transmitters
have a worst case frequency offset of ±52.2kHz.
For the transceiver in the car a tolerance of ±75kHz – ±52.2kHz = ±22.8kHz (±52.5ppm) remains. The needed frequency
stability of the used crystals overtemperature and aging is ±52.5ppm – ±2.5ppm = ±50ppm. The aging of such a crystal is
±10ppm leaving reasonable ±40ppm for the temperature dependency of the crystal frequency in the car.
Since the transceiver in the car is able to receive these TPM transmitter signals with high frequency offsets, the component
specification in the key can be largely relaxed.
This system calculation is based on worst case tolerances of all the components, this leads in practice to a system with
margin.
For a 315MHz TPM system using a TPM transmitter Atmel ATA5756 and a transceiver Atmel ATA5823 as receiver the same
calculation must be done, but since the RF frequency is lower, every ppm of crystal tolerances results in less frequency
offset and either the system can have higher tolerances or a higher margin there.
5.6
RX Supply Current versus Temperature and Supply Voltage
Table 5-5 shows the typical supply current at 433.92MHz of the transceiver in RX mode versus supply voltage and
temperature with VS = VS1 = VS2. As can be seen the supply current at VS = 2.15V and Tamb = –40°C is less than at
VS = 3V/Tamb = 25° which helps to enlarge the battery lifetime within a key fob application because this is also the operation
point where a lithium cell has the worst performance. The typical supply current at 315MHz in RX mode is about the same as
for 433.92MHz.

Blocking, Selectivity
As can be seen in Figure 5-3, Figure 5-4 and Figure 5-5 on page 13, the receiver can receive signals 3dB higher than the
sensitivity level in presence of large blockers of –44.5dBm/-36.0dBm with small frequency offsets of ±1±10MHz.
Figure 5-3 and Figure 5-4 on page 13 shows the close-in and narrow-band blocking and Figure 5-5 on page 13 the wideband blocking characteristic. The measurements were done with a useful signal
of 433.92MHz/FSK/20Kbit/s/±19.5kHz/Manchester with a level of –105.5dBm + 3dB = –102.5dBm which is 3dB above the
sensitivity level. The figures show by how much a continuous wave signal can be larger than –102.5dBm until the BER is
higher than 10-3. The measurements were done at the 50 input according to Figure 5-1 on page 10 At 1MHz, for example,
the blocker can be 58dBC higher than –102.5dBm which is –102.5dBm +58dBC = –44.5dBm. These blocking figures,
together with the good intermodulation performance, avoid the additional need of a SAW filter in the key fob application.

Table 5-6 shows the blocking performance measured relative to –102.5dBm for some frequencies. Note that sometimes the
blocking is measured relative to the sensitivity level –105.5dBm (denoted dBS) instead of the carrier –102.5dBm (denoted

The Atmel® ATA5823/ATA5824 can also receive FSK and ASK modulated signals if they are much higher than the I1dBCP.
It can typically receive useful signals at +10dBm. This is often referred to as the nonlinear dynamic range which is the
maximum to minimum receiving signal which is 115.5dB for 433.92MHz/FSK/20Kbit/s/±19.5kHz/ Manchester. This value is
useful if two transceivers have to communicate and are very close to each other.
In a keyless entry system there is another blocking characteristic that has to be considered. A keyless entry system has a
typical service range of about 30 m with a receiver sensitivity of about –106dBm to –109dBm. In some cases, large blockers
limit this service range, and it is important to know how large this blockers can be until the system doesn’t work anymore and
the user has to use its key. With a recommended sensitivity of about –85dBm, the system works just around the car. Figure
5-6 and Figure 5-7 on page 15 show the blocking performance in this important case with a useful signal of –85dBm
433.92MHz/FSK/20Kbit/s/±19.5kHz/ Manchester.
As can be seen the system works even with blockers above the compression point. This is due to a wide bandwidth
automatic gain control that begins to work if blockers above the compression point are at the antenna input and increasing
the current in the LNA/Mixer to get a better compression point needed to handle these large blockers.

This high blocking performance makes it even possible for some applications using quarter wave whip antennas to use a
simple LC band-pass filter instead of a SAW filter in the receiver. When designing such a LC filter, take into account that the
3dB blocking at 433.92MHz/2 = 216.96MHz is 42dBC and at 433.92MHz/3 = 144.64MHz is 47dBC a . And especially that at
3  (433.92MHz + 226kHz)+226kHz = 1302.664MHz the receiver has a second LO harmonic receiving frequency with only
17dBC blocking.
5.8
Inband Disturbers, Data Filter, Quasi-peak Detector, Data Slicer
If a disturbing signal falls into the received band, or a blocker is not a continuous wave, the performance of a receiver
strongly depends on the circuits after the IF filter. Hence the demodulator, data filter and data slicer are important in that
case.
The data filter of the Atmel® ATA5823/ATA5824 implies a quasi-peak detector. This results in a good suppression of above
mentioned disturbers and exhibits a good carrier to noise performance. The required ratio of useful signal to disturbing
signal, at a BER of 10-3 is less than 12dB in ASK mode and less than 3dB (BR_Range_0 ... BR_Range_2) and 6dB
(BR_Range_3) in FSK mode. Due to the many different possible waveforms these numbers are measured for signal as well
as for disturbers with peak amplitude values. Note that these values are worst case values and are valid for any type of
modulation and modulating frequency of the disturbing signal as well as the receiving signal. For many combinations, lower
carrier to disturbing signal ratios are needed.
5.9
TEST3 Output
The internal raw output signal of the demodulator Demod_Out is available at pin TEST3. TEST3 is an open drain output and
must be connected to a pull-up resistor if it is used (typically 100k), otherwise no signal is present at that pin. This signal is
mainly used for debugging purposes during the setup of a new application, since the received data signal can be seen there
without any digital processing.

RSSI Output
The output voltage of the pin RSSI is an analog voltage, proportional to the input power level. Using the RSSI output signal,
the signal strength of different transmitters can be distinguished. The usable dynamic range of the RSSI amplifier is 70dB,
the input power range PRFIN is –115dBm to –45dBm and the gain is 8mV/dB. Figure 5-8 on page 16 shows the RSSI
characteristic of a typical device at 433.92MHz with VS1 = VS2 = 2.15V to 3.6V and Tamb = –40°C to +105°C with a matched
input according to Table 5-2 on page 10 and Figure 5-1 on page 10. At 315MHz about 1dB less signal level is needed for the
same RSSI results.

Frequency Synthesizer and Channel Selection
The synthesizer is a fully integrated fractional-N design with internal loop filters for receive and transmit mode. The XTO
frequency fXTO is the reference frequency FREF for the synthesizer. The bits FR0 to FR12 in control registers 2 and 3 (see
Table 9-7 on page 34 and Table 9-10 on page 35) are used to adjust the deviation of fXTO. In half-duplex transmit mode, at
433.92MHz, the carrier has a phase noise of –111dBC/Hz at 1MHz and spurious at FREF of –70dBC with a high PLL loop
bandwidth allowing the direct modulation of the carrier with 20Kbit/s Manchester data. Due to the closed loop modulation,
any spurious caused by this modulation are effectively filtered out as can be seen in Figure 5-11 on page 18. In RX mode the
synthesizer has a phase noise of –120dBC/Hz at 1MHz and spurious of –72dBC.
The initial tolerances of the crystal oscillator due to crystal frequency tolerances, internal capacitor tolerances and the
parasitics of the board have to be compensated at manufacturing setup with control registers 2 and 3 as can be seen in
Table 6-1 on page 25. The other control words for the synthesizer needed for ASK, FSK and receive/transmit switching are
calculated internally. The RF (Radio Frequency) resolution is equal to the XTO frequency divided by 16384 which is 777.1Hz
at 315.0MHz and 808.9Hz at 433.92MHz.
The frequency control word FREQ in control registers 2 and 3 can be programmed in the range of 1000 to 6900, hence every
frequency within the 433MHz ISM bands can be programmed as receive and as transmit frequency and the position of
channels within these ISM bands can be chosen arbitrarily (see Table 6-1 on page 25).
Care must be taken regarding the harmonics of the CLK output signal as well as to the harmonics produced by a
microprocessor clocked with it, since these harmonics can disturb the reception of signals. In a single channel system using
FREQ = 3803 to 4053 ensures that harmonics of this signal, do not disturb the receive mode.

5.12
FSK/ASK Transmission
Due to the fast modulation capability of the synthesizer and the high resolution, the carrier can be internally FSK modulated
which simplifies the application of the transceiver. The deviation of the transmitted signal is ±24 digital frequency steps of the
synthesizer which is equal to ±18.65kHz for 315MHz and ±19.41kHz for 433.92MHz.
Due to closed loop modulation with PLL filtering, the modulated spectrum is very clean, meeting ETSI and CEPT regulations
when using a simple LC filter for the power amplifier harmonics as it is shown in Figure 4-1. In ASK mode the frequency is
internally connected to the center of the FSK transmission and the power amplifier is switched on and off to perform the
modulation. Figure 5-9 to Figure 5-11 on page 18 show the spectrum of the FSK modulation with pseudo-random data with
20Kbit/s/±19.41kHz/Manchester and 5dBm output power.

Output Power Setting and PA Matching at RF_OUT
The Power Amplifier (PA) is a single-ended open collector stage which delivers a current pulse which is nearly independent
of supply voltage, temperature and tolerances due to band-gap stabilization. Resistor R1 (see Figure 5-12 on page 20) sets
a reference current which controls the current in the PA. A higher resistor value results in a lower reference current, a lower
output power and a lower current consumption of the PA. The usable range of R1 is 15k to 56k. The PWR_H pin switches
the output power range between about 0dBm to 5dBm (PWR_H = GND) and 5dBm to 10dBm (PWR_H = AVCC) by
multiplying this reference current with a factor 1 (PWR_H = GND) and 2.5 (PWR_H = AVCC) which corresponds to about
5dB more output power.
If the PA is switched off in TX mode, the current consumption without output stage and with VS1 = VS2 = 3V, Tamb = 25°C is
typically 6.95mA for 315MHz and 433.92MHz.
The maximum output power is achieved with optimum load resistances RLopt according to Table 5-7 on page 20. The
compensation of the 1.0pF output capacitance of the RF_OUT pin will be achieved by absorbing it into the matching
network, consisting of L1, C1, C3 as shown in Figure 5-12 on page 20. There must be also a low resistive DC path to AVCC
to deliver the DC current of the power amplifier's last stage. The matching of the PA output was done with the circuit
according to Figure 5-12 on page 20 with the values in Table 5-7. Note that value changes of these elements may be
necessary to compensate individual board layout parasitics.
Example:
According to Table 5-7 on page 20, with a frequency of 433.92MHz and output power of 11dBm, the overall current
consumption is typically 17.8mA. Hence the PA needs 17.8mA - 6.95mA = 10.85mA in this mode which corresponds to an
overall power amplifier efficiency of the PA of (10(11dBm/10)  1mW)/(3V  10.85mA)  100% = 38.6% in this case.
Using a higher resistor in this example of R1 = 1.091  22k = 24k results in 9.1% less current in the PA of
10.85mA/1.091 = 9.95mA and 10  log(1.091) = 0.38dB less output power if using a new load resistance of
300  1.091 = 327. The resulting output power is then 11dBm – 0.38dB = 10.6dBm and the overall current consumption
is 6.95mA + 9.95mA = 16.9mA.
The values of Table 5-7 on page 20 were measured with standard multi-layer chip inductors with quality factors Q according
to Table 5-7 on page 20.
Looking to the 433.92MHz/11dBm case with the quality factor of QL1 = 43 the loss in this inductor L1 is estimated with the
parallel equivalent resistance of the inductor Rloss = 2    f  L1  QL1 and the matching loss with 10 log (1 + RLopt/Rloss)
which is equal to 0.32dB losses in this inductor. Taking this into account the PA efficiency is then 42% instead of 38.6%.
Be aware that the high power mode (PWR_H = AVCC) can only be used with a supply voltage higher than 2.7V, whereas
the low power mode (PWR_H = GND) can be used down to 2.15V as can be seen in the section “Electrical Characteristics:
General” on page 61.
The supply blocking capacitor C2 (10nF) in Figure 5-12 on page 20 has to be placed close to the matching network because
of the RF current flowing through it.
An internal programmable resistor SETPWR is programmable with the control register 8, described in Table 9-25 on page
39. It can be used in conjunction with an external resistor to adjust the output power by connection it. To do that the output
power should be adjusted with an external resistor about 50% lower than needed for the target output power and reduced
with the programmable resistor during production test until the target power is as close as possible to the target. For
example, if using 433.92MHz at 5dBm, a resistor of 12k instead of 24k is used and values of PWSET between 25 and 29 can
be used to achieve an output power within 5dBm ±0.5dB over production. Note that this resistor is temperature stable but
has tolerances of ±20% and introduces, therefore, additional output power tolerances, it is recommended to adjust output
power during the production test if using the SETPWR resistor.

Output Power and TX Supply Current versus Supply Voltage and Temperature
Table 5-8 shows the measurement of the output power for a typical device with VS1 = VS2 = VS in the 433.92MHz and
6.2dBm case versus temperature and supply voltage measured according to Figure 5-12 on page 20 with components
according to Table 5-7 on page 20. As opposed to the receiver sensitivity the supply voltage has here the major impact on
output power variations because of the large signal behavior of a power amplifier. Thus a 5V system using the internal
voltage regulator shows much less variation than a 2.15V to 3.6V battery system because the AVCC supply voltage is
3.25V ±0.25V for a 5V system.
The reason is that the amplitude at the output RF_OUT with optimum load resistance is AVCC – 0.4V and the power is
proportional to (AVCC – 0.4V)2 if the load impedance is not changed. This means that the theoretical output power reduction
if reducing the supply voltage from 3.0V to 2.15V is 10 log ((3V – 0.4V)2/(2.15V – 0.4V)2) = 3.4dB. Table 5-8 shows that
principle behavior in the measurements. This is not the same case for higher voltages, since here, increasing the supply
voltage from 3V to 3.6V should theoretical increase the power by 1.8dB, but only 0.9dB in the measurements shows that the
amplitude does not increase with the supply voltage because the load impedance is optimized for 3V and the output
amplitude stays more constant because of the current source nature of the output.

temperature change to –40°C as well as to +105°C reduces the power by less than 1dB due to the band-gap regulated
output current. Measurements of all the cases in Table 5-7 on page 20 overtemperature and supply voltage have shown
about the same relative behavior as shown in Table 5-9.

RX/TX Switch
The RX/TX switch decouples the LNA from the PA in TX mode, and directs the received power to the LNA in RX mode. To
do this, it has a low impedance to GND in TX mode and a high impedance to GND in RX mode. The pin 38 (RX_TX2) must
always be connected to GND in the application. To design a proper RX/TX decoupling a linear simulation tool for radio
frequency design together with the measured device impedances of Table 5-1 on page 10, Table 5-7 on page 20, Table 5-10
on page 21 and Table 5-11 on page 22 should be used. The exact element values have to be found on board. Figure 5-13 on
page 21 shows an approximate equivalent circuit of the switch. The principal switching operation is described here according
to the application of Figure 3-1 on page 7. The application of Figure 4-1 on page 8 works similarly.

Matching Network in TX Mode
In TX mode the 20mm long and 0.4mm wide transmission line which is much shorter than /4 is approximately switched in
parallel to the capacitor C9 to GND. The antenna connection between C8 and C9 has an impedance of about 50 looking
from the transmission line into the loop antenna with pin RF_OUT, L2, C10, C8 and C9 connected (using a C9 without the
added 7.6pF capacitor as discussed later). The transmission line can be approximated with a 16nH inductor in series with a
1.5 resistor, the closed switch can be approximated according to Table 5-10 with the series connection of 1.6nH and 5 in
this mode. To have a parallel resonant high impedance circuit with little RF power going into it looking, from the loop antenna
into the transmission line a capacitor of about 7.6pF to GND is needed at the beginning of the transmission line (this
capacitor is later absorbed into C9, which is then higher as needed for 50 transformation). To keep the 50 impedance in
RX mode at the end of this transmission line C7 has to be also about 7.6pF. This reduces the TX power by about 0.5dB at
433.92MHz compared to the case where the LNA path is completely disconnected.
5.17
Matching Network in RX Mode
In RX mode the RF_OUT pin has a high impedance of about 7k in parallel with 1.0pF at 433.92MHz as can be seen in
Table 5-11 on page 22. This together with the losses of the inductor L2 with 120nH and QL2 = 25 gives about 3.7k loss
impedance at RF_OUT. Since the optimum load impedance in TX mode for the power amplifier at RF_OUT is 890 the loss
associated with the inductor L2 and the RF_OUT pin can be estimated to be 10  log(1 + 890/3700) = 0.95dB compared to
the optimum matched loop antenna without L2 and RF_OUT. The switch represents, in this mode at 433.92MHz, about an
inductor of 1.6nH in series with the parallel connection of 2.5pF and 2.0k. Since the impedance level at pin RX_TX1 in RX
mode is about 50 there is only a negligible damping of the received signal by about 0.1dB. When matching the LNA to the
loop antenna the transmission line and the 7.6pF part of C9 has to be taken into account when choosing the values of C11
and L1 so that the impedance seen from the loop antenna into the transmission line with the 7.6pF capacitor connected is
50.
Since the loop antenna in RX mode is loaded by the LNA input impedance the loaded Q of the loop antenna is lowered by
about a factor of 2 in RX mode hence the antenna bandwidth is higher than in TX mode.

Note that if matching to 50, like in Figure 4-1 on page 8, a high Q wire wound inductor with a Q > 70 should be used for L2
to minimize its contribution to RX losses which will otherwise be dominant. The RX and TX losses will be in the range of
1.0dB there.

XTO
The XTO is an amplitude regulated Pierce oscillator type with integrated load capacitances (2  18pF with a tolerance of
±17%) hence CLmin = 7.4pF and CLmax = 10.6pF. The XTO oscillation frequency fXTO is the reference frequency FREF for the
fractional-N synthesizer. When designing the system in terms of receiving and transmitting frequency offset the accuracy of
the crystal and XTO have to be considered.
The synthesizer can adjust the local oscillator frequency for the initial frequency error in fXTO. This is done at nominal supply
voltage and temperature with the control registers 2 and 3 (see Table 9-7 on page 34 and Table 9-10 on page 35). The
remaining local oscillator tolerance at nominal supply voltage and temperature is then < ±0.5ppm. The XTO’s gm has very
low influence of less than ±2ppm on the frequency at nominal supply voltage and temperature.
In a single channel system less than ±150ppm should be corrected to avoid that harmonics of the CLK output disturb the
receive mode. If the CLK is not used, or carefully layouted on the application PCB (as needed for multi channel systems),
more than ±150ppm can be compensated.
The additional XTO pulling is only ±2ppm, overtemperature and supply voltage. The XTAL versus temperature and its aging
is then the main source of frequency error in the local oscillator.
The XTO frequency depends on XTAL properties and the load capacitances CL1, 2 at pin XTAL1 and XTAL2. The pulling of
fXTO from the nominal fXTAL is calculated using the following formula
:
C LN – C L
Cm
6
P = -------  -----------------------------------------------------------  10 ppm.
2  C 0 + C LN    C 0 + C L 
Cm is the crystal's motional, C0 the shunt and CLN the nominal load capacitance of the XTAL found in its datasheet. CL is the
total actual load capacitance of the crystal in the circuit and consists of CL1 and CL2 in series connection.
Figure 6-1. XTAL with Load Capacitances
Crystal equivalent circuit

CL = CL1 x CL2/ (CL1 + CL2)
With Cm ≤ 14fF, C0 ≥ 1.5pF, CLN = 9pF and CL = 7.4pF to 10.6pF the pulling amounts to P ≤ ±100ppm and with Cm ≤ 7fF,
C0 ≥ 1.5pF, CLN = 9pF and CL = 7.4pF to 10.6pF the pulling is P ≤ ±50ppm.
Since typical crystals have less than ±50ppm tolerance at 25°C, the compensation is not critical and can, in both cases, be
done with the ±150ppm.
C0 of the XTAL has to be lower than CLmin/2 = 3.7pF for a Pierce oscillator type in order to not enter the steep region of
pulling versus load capacitance where there is a risk of an unstable oscillation.
To ensure proper start-up behavior the small signal gain, and thus the negative resistance provided by this XTO at start is
very large. For example oscillation starts up, even in worst case, with a crystal series resistance of 1.5k at C0 ≤ 2.2pF with
this XTO. The negative resistance is approximately given by
 Z1  Z3 + Z2  Z3 + Z1  Z2  Z3  gm 

with Z1, Z2 as complex impedances at pin XTAL1 and XTAL2 hence
Z1 = –j/(2    fXTO  CL1) + 5 andZ2 = –j/(2  fXTO  CL2) + 5.
Z3 consists of crystals C0 in parallel with an internal 110k resistor hence
Z3 = –j/(2    fXTO  C0) /110k, gm is the internal transconductance between XTAL1 and XTAL2 with typically 19ms at
25°C.
ATA5823/ATA5824 [DATASHEET]
4829G–RKE–01/15
23
With fXTO = 13.5MHz, gm = 19ms, CL = 9pF, C0 = 2.2pF this results in a negative resistance of about 2k. The worst case for
technological, supply voltage and temperature variations is then for C0 ≤ 2.2pF always higher than 1.5k
Due to the large gain at start, the XTO is able to meet a very low start-up time. The oscillation start-up time can be estimated
with the time constant 

 = --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------2

4    f m  C m   Re  Z XTOcore  + R m 
After 10 to 20, an amplitude detector detects the oscillation amplitude and sets XTO_OK to High if the amplitude is large
enough. This activates the CLK output if CLK_ON and CLK_EN in control register 3 are High (see Table 9-12 on page 35).
Note that the necessary conditions of the DVCC voltage also have to be fulfilled (see Figure 6-2 on page 24 and Figure 7-1
on page 27).
To save current in IDLE and Sleep mode, the load capacitors partially are switched off in this modes with S1 and S2 seen in
Figure 6-2 on page 24.
It is recommended to use a crystal with Cm = 3.0fF to 7.0fF, CLN = 9pF, Rm < 120 and C0 = 1.0pF to 2.2pF.
Lower values of Cm can be used, this increases slightly the start-up time. Lower values of C0 or higher values of Cm (up to
15fF) can also be used, this has only little influence to pulling.

To find the right values used in the control registers 2 and 3 (see Table 9-7 on page 34 and Table 9-10 on page 35) the
relationship between fXTO and the fRF is shown in Table 6-1. To determine the right content, the frequency at pin CLK, as well
as the output frequency at RF_OUT in ASK mode can be measured, than the FREQ value can be calculated according to
Table 6-1 so that fRF is exactly the desired radio frequency.

The variable FREQ depends on the bit PLL_MODE in control register 1 and the parameter FREQ2 and FREQ3, which are
defined by the bits FR0 to FR12 in control register 2 and 3 and is calculated as follows:
FREQ = FREQ2 + FREQ3
Care must be taken with the harmonics of the CLK output signal fCLK, as well as to the harmonics produced by an
microprocessor clocked with it, since these harmonics can disturb the reception of signals if they get to the RF input. In a
single channel system the use of FREQ = 3803 to 4053 ensures that harmonics of this signal do not disturb the receive
mode. In a multichannel system the CLK signal can either be not used or carefully layouted on the application PCB. The
supply voltage of the microcontroller must also be carefully blocked in a multichannel system.
6.1
Pin CLK
Pin CLK is an output to clock a connected microcontroller. The clock frequency fCLK is calculated as follows:
f XTO
f CLK = ----------3
The signal at CLK output has a nominal 50% duty cycle.
If the bit CLK_EN in control register 3 is set to 0, the clock is disabled permanently.
If the bit CLK_EN is set to 1 and bit CLK_ON (control register 3) is set to 0, the clock is disabled as well. If bit CLK_ON is set
to 1 and thus the clock is enabled if the Bit-check is ok (RX, RX Polling, FD mode (Slave)), an event on pin N_PWR_ON
occurs or the bit Power_On in the status register is 1.

Basic Clock Cycle of the Digital Circuitry
The complete timing of the digital circuitry is derived from one clock. According to Figure 6-2 on page 24, this clock cycle
TDCLK is derived from the crystal oscillator (XTO) in combination with a divider.
f XTO
f DCLK = ----------16
TDCLK controls the following application relevant parameters:
● Timing of the polling circuit including bit-check
●
TX bit rate
The clock cycle of the Bit-check and the TX bit rate depends on the selected bit-rate range (BR_Range) which is defined in
control register 6 (see Table 9-19 on page 37) and XLim which is defined in control register 4 (see Table 9-16 on page 36).
This clock cycle TXDCLK is defined by the following formulas for further reference:

The supply voltage range of the Atmel® ATA5823/ATA5824 is 2.15V to 3.6V or 4.4V to 5.25V.
Pin VS1 is the supply voltage input for the range 2.15V to 3.6V and is used in battery applications using a single lithium 3V
cell. Pin VS2 is the voltage input for the range 4.4V to 5.25V (car applications), in this case the voltage regulator V_REG
regulates VS1 to typically 3.25V. If the voltage regulator is active, a blocking capacitor of 2.2µF has to be connected to VS1.
Pin VSINT is the voltage input for the Microcontroller_Interface and must be connected to the power supply of the
microcontroller. The voltage range of VVSINT is 2.25V to 5.25V (see Figure 7-5 and Figure 7-6 on page 30).
AVCC is the internal operation voltage of the RF transceiver and is feed via the switch SW_AVCC by VS1. AVCC must be
blocked on pin AVCC with a 68nF capacitor (see Figure 3-1 on page 7 and Figure 4-1 on page 8).
DVCC is the internal operation voltage of the digital control logic and is fed via the switch SW_DVCC by VS1. DVCC must be
blocked on pin DVCC with 68nF (see Figure 3-1 on page 7 and Figure 4-1 on page 8).
Pin PWR_ON is an input to switch on the transceiver (active high).
Pin N_PWR_ON is an input for a push button and can also be used to switch on the transceiver (active low).
For current consumption reasons it is recommended to set N_PWR_ON to GND only temporarily. Otherwise an additional
current flows because of a 50k pull-up resistor.
A voltage monitor generates the signal DVCC_OK if DVCC ≥ 1.6V typically.

OFF Mode
After connecting the power supply (battery) to pin VS1 and/or VS2 and VSINT, the transceiver is in OFF mode. In OFF mode
AVCC and DVCC are disabled, resulting in very low power consumption (IS_OFF is typically ≤ 10nA in the key fob application
Figure 3-1 on page 7 and ≤ 0.5µA in the car application Figure 4-1 on page 8). In OFF mode the transceiver is not
programmable via the 4-wire serial interface.
7.2
IDLE Mode
In IDLE mode AVCC and DVCC are connected to the battery voltage (VS1).
From OFF mode the transceiver changes to IDLE mode if pin PWR_ON is set to 1 or pin N_PWR_ON is set to 0. This state
transition is indicated by an interrupt at pin IRQ and the status bits Power_On = 1 or N_Power_On = 1.
In IDLE mode the RF transceiver is disabled and the power consumption IIDLE_VS1,2 is about 270 µA (CLK output OFF
VS1 = VS2 = 3V). The exact value of this current is strongly dependent on the application and the exact operation mode,
therefore check the section “Electrical Characteristics” for the appropriate application case.
Via the 4-wire serial interface a connected microcontroller can program the required parameter and enable the TX, RX
polling, RX or FD mode.The transceiver can be set back to OFF mode by an OFF command via the 4-wire serial interface
(the input level of pin PWR_ON must be 0 and pin N_PWR_ON = 1 before writing the OFF command)

Reset Timing and Reset Logic
If the transceiver is switched on (OFF mode to IDLE mode) DVCC and AVCC are ramping up as illustrated in Figure 7-3. The
internal signal DVCC_RESET resets the digital control logic and sets the control register to default values. Bit DVCC_RST in
the status register is set to 1.
After VDVCC exceeds 1.6V (typically) and the start-up time of the XTO is elapsed, the output clock at pin CLK is available.
DVCC_RST in the status register is set to 0 if VDVCC exceeds 1.6V, the start-up time of the XTO is elapsed and the status
register is read via the 4-wire serial interface.
If VDVCC drops below 1.6V (typically) and pin N_PWR_ON = 1 and pin PWR_ON = 0 the transceiver switches to OFF mode.

Register Structure
The configuration of the transceiver is stored in RAM cells. The RAM contains a 16  8-bit TX/RX data buffer and a 8  8-bit
Control register and is write and readable via a 4-wire serial interface (CS, SCK, SDI_TMDI, SDO_TMDO).
The 1  8-bit status register is not part of the RAM and is readable via the 4-wire serial interface.
The RAM and the status information is stored as long as the transceiver is in any active mode (DVCC = VS1) and gets lost if
the transceiver is in the OFF mode (DVCC = OFF).
After the transceiver is turned on via pin PWR_ON = High or pin N_PWR_ON = Low the control registers are in the default
state.

Status Register (ADR 16)
The status register indicates the current status of the transceiver and is readable via the 4-wire serial interface. Setting
Power_On or an event on N_Power_On is indicated by an IRQ.
Reading the status register resets the bits Power_On, DVCC_RST and the IRQ.

Status of pin N_PWR_On
Pin N_PWR_ON = 0  N_Power_On = 1
Pin N_PWR_ON = 1  N_Power_On = 0
(Figure 9-3 on page 41)
Indicates that the transceiver was woken up by pin PWR_ON (rising edge on pin PWR_ON). During
Power_On = 1, the bit CLK_ON in control register 3 is set to 1 (Figure 9-4 on page 42).
DVCC_RST is set to 1 if the supply voltage of the RAM (VDVCC) was too low and the information in
the RAM may be lost.
N_Power_On
Power_On
DVCC_RST = 0  supply voltage of the RAM ok
DVCC_RST
DVCC_RST = 1  supply voltage of the RAM was too low (typically VDVCC < 1.6V)
If the transceiver changes from OFF mode to IDLE mode, DVCC_RST will be set to 1. Reading the
Status register resets DVCC_RST to 0.
9.4
Pin N_PWR_ON
To switch the transceiver from OFF to IDLE mode, pin N_PWR_ON must be set to 0 (maximum 0.2  VVS2) for at least
TN_PWR_ON_IRQ (see Figure 9-2). The transceiver recognizes the negative edge and switches on DVCC and AVCC.
If VDVCC exceeds 1.6V (typically) and the XTO is settled, the digital control logic is active and sets the status bit N_Power_On
to 1, an interrupt is issued (TN_PWR_ON_IRQ) and the output clock on pin CLK is available.
If the level on pin N_PWR_ON was set to 1 before the interrupt is issued, the transceiver stays in OFF mode.
Note:
It is not possible to set the transceiver to OFF-mode by setting pin N_PWR_ON to 1. If pin N_PWR_ON is not
used, it should be left open because of the internal pull-up resistor

IDLE Mode
If the transceiver is in any of the active modes (IDLE, TX, RX, RX_Polling, FD), an integrated debounce logic is active. If
there is an event on pin N_PWR_ON, a debounce counter is set to 0 (T = 0) and started. The status is updated, an interrupt
is issued and the debounce counter is stopped after reaching the counter value T = 8195 TDCLK.
40
ATA5823/ATA5824 [DATASHEET]
4829G–RKE–01/15
An event on N_PWR_ON before reaching T = 8195  TDCLK stops the debounce counter.
While the debounce counter is running, the bit CLK_ON in control register 3 is set to 1.
The interrupt is deleted after reading the status register or executes the command Delete_IRQ.
If pin N_PWR_ON is not used, it can be left open because of an internal pull-up resistor (typically 50k).

Pin PWR_ON
To switch the transceiver from OFF to IDLE mode, pin PWR_ON must set to 1 (minimum 0.8  VVSINT) for at least TPWR_ON
(see Figure 9-4 on page 42). The transceiver recognizes the positive edge and switches on DVCC and AVCC.
If VDVCC exceeds 1.6V (typically) and the XTO is settled, the digital control logic is active and sets the status bit Power_On to
1, an interrupt is issued (TPWR_ON_IRQ_1) and the output clock on pin CLK is available.
If the level on pin PWR_ON was set to 0 before the interrupt is issued, the transceiver stays in OFF mode.
If the transceiver is in any of the active modes (IDLE, RX, RX_Polling, TX, FD), a positive edge on pin PWR_ON sets
Power_On to 1 (after TPWR_ON_IRQ_2). The state transition Power_On 0 1 generates an interrupt. If Power_On is still 1
during the positive edge on pin PWR_ON, no interrupt is issued. Power_On and the interrupt is deleted after reading the
status register.
During Power_On = 1, the bit CLK_EN in control register 3 is set to 1.
Note:
It is not possible to set the transceiver to OFF mode by setting pin PWR_ON to 0. If pin PWR_ON is not used,
it must be connected to GND.

Transceiver Configuration
The configuration of the transceiver takes place via a 4-wire serial interface (CS, SCK, SDI_TMDI, SDO_TMDO) and is
organized in 8-bit units. The configuration is initiated with a 8-bit command. While shifting the command into pin SDI_TMDI,
the number of bytes in the TX/RX data buffer are available on pin SDO_TMDO. The read and write commands are followed
by one or more 8-bit data units. Each 8-bit data transmission begins with the MSB.

Command Structure
The three most significant bits of the command (bit 5 to bit 7) indicates the command type. Bit 0 to bit 4 describes the target
address when reading or writing to a control or status register.
Bit 0 to bit 4 in the command Write TX/RX Data Buffer defines the value N (0 ≤ N ≤ 16). The TX operation only will be started
if the number of bytes in the TX buffer ≥ N. This function makes sure that the datastream will be sent without gaps. The TX
operation only will be started if at least 1 byte are in the TX buffer. This means that N = 0 and N = 1 have the same function.
In all other commands Bit 0 to Bit 4 have no effect and should be set to 0 for compatibility reasons with future products.

4-wire Serial Interface
The 4-wire serial interface consists of the Chip Select (CS), the Serial Clock (SCK), the Serial Data Input (SDI_TMDI) and
the Serial Data Output (SDO_TMDO). Data is transmitted/received bit by bit in synchronization with the serial clock.
Pin CS_POL defines the active level of the CS:

CS active high

CS active low
When CS is inactive and the transceiver is not in RX transparent mode, SDO_TMDO is in a high-impedance state.
Pins SCK_POL and SCK_PHA defines the polarity and the phase of the serial clock SCK.

RX mode
The transceiver is designed to consume less than 1mA in RX operation while being sensitive to signals from a corresponding
transmitter. This is achieved via the polling circuit. This circuits enable the signal path periodically for a short time. During this
time the Bit-check logic verifies the presence of a valid transmitter signal. Only if a valid signal is detected the transceiver
remains active and transfers the data to the connected microcontroller. This transfer take place either via the TX/RX data
buffer or via the pin SDO_TMDO. If there is no valid signal present the transceiver is in sleep mode most of the time resulting
in low current consumption. This condition is called RX polling mode. A connected microcontroller can be disabled during
this 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.
In RX mode the RF transceiver is enabled permanently and the Bit-check logic verifies the presence of a valid transmitter
signal. If a valid signal is detected the transceiver transfers the data to the connected microcontroller. This transfer takes
place either via the TX/RX data buffer or via the pin SDO_TMDO.
11.1.1 RX Polling Mode
If the transceiver is in RX polling mode, it stays in a continuous cycle of three different modes. In sleep mode, the RF
transceiver is disabled for the time period TSleep while consuming low current of IS = IIDLE_X. During the start-up period,
TStartup_PLL and TStartup_Sig_Proc, all signal processing circuits are enabled and settled. In the following Bit-check mode, the
incoming data stream is analyzed bit by bit versus a valid transmitter signal. If no valid signal is present, the transceiver is set
back to sleep mode after the period TBit-check. This period varies check by check as it is a statistical process. An average
value for TBit-check is given in the electrical characteristics. During TStartup_PLL the current consumption is IS = IRX_X. During
TStartup_Sig_Proc and TBit-check the current consumption is IS = IStartup_Sig_Proc_X. The condition of the transceiver is indicated on
pin RX_ACTIVE (see Figure 11-1). The average current consumption in RX polling mode IPoll is different in battery
application or car application. To calculate IPoll the index X must be replaced by VS1,2 in battery application or VS2 in car
application (see section “Electrical Characteristics: General” on page 61).
I IDLE_X  T Sleep + I Startup_PLL_X  T Startup_PLL + I RX_X   T Startup_Sig_Proc + T Bitcheck 
I Poll = --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------T Sleep + T Startup_PLL + T Startup_Sig_Proc + T Bitcheck
To save current it is recommended CLK be disabled during RX polling mode. IP does not include the current of the
Microcontroller_Interface IVSINT. If CLK is enabled during the RX polling mode the current consumption is calculated as
follows:
I S_Poll = I Poll + I VSINT
During TSleep, TStartup_PLL and TStartup_Sig_Proc the transceiver is not sensitive to a transmitter signals. To guarantee the
reception of a transmitted command the transmitter must start the telegram with an adequate preburst. The required length
of the preburst TPreburst depends on the polling parameters TSleep, TStartup_PLL, TStartup_Sig_Proc and TBit-check. Thus, TBit-check
depends on the actual bit rate and the number of bits (NBit-check) to be tested.
T Preburst  T Sleep + T Startup_PLL + T Startup_Sig_Proc + T Bitcheck

11.1.2 Sleep Mode
The length of period TSleep is defined by the 5-bit word sleep in control register 4, the extension factor XSleep defined by the bit
XSleep in control register 4 and the basic clock cycle TDCLK. It is calculated to be:
T Sleep = Sleep  1024  T DCLK  X Sleep
In US and European applications, the maximum value of TSleep is about 38 ms if XSleep is set to 1 (which is done by setting
the bit XSleep in control register 4 to 0). The time resolution is about 1.2ms in that case. The sleep time can be extended to
about 300 ms by setting XSleep to 8 (which is done by setting XSleep in control register 4 to 1), the time resolution is then about
9.6ms.
11.1.3 Start-up Mode
During TStartup_PLL the PLL is enabled and starts up. If the PLL is locked, the signal processing circuit starts up
(TStartup_Sig_Proc). After the start-up time all circuits are in stable condition and ready to receive.

11.1.4 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 distance between 2 signal
edges are continuously compared to a programmable time window. The maximum count of this edge to edge test before the
transceiver switches to receiving mode is also programmable.
11.1.5 Bit-check Configuration
Assuming a modulation scheme that contains 2 edges per bit, two time frame checks are verifying 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 via the variable NBit-check in control register 5. This implies 0, 6, 12 and 18 edge to edge checks respectively. If NBitcheck is set to a higher value, the transceiver 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 RX polling mode, the Bit-check time is
not dependent on NBit-check if no valid signal is present. Figure 11-2 shows an example where 3 bits are tested successful.

According to Figure 11-3, 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 will be continued. If tee is
smaller than limit TLim_min or exceeds TLim_max, the Bit-check will be terminated and the transceiver switches to sleep mode.

TLim_max
For the best noise immunity it is recommended to use a low span between TLim_min and TLim_max. 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 biphase is a good choice concerning that advice. A good compromise between sensitivity and susceptibility to noise regarding
the expected edge to edge time tee is a time window of ±38%. To get the maximum sensitivity the time window should be
±50% and then NBit-check ≥ 6. Using preburst patterns that contain various edge to edge time periods, the Bit-check limits
must be programmed according to the required span.
50
ATA5823/ATA5824 [DATASHEET]
4829G–RKE–01/15
The Bit-check limits are determined by means of the formula below:
TLim_min = Lim_min  TXDCLK
TLim_max = (Lim_max -1)  TXDCLK
Lim_min is defined by the bits Lim_min 0 to Lim_min 5 in control register 5.
Lim_max is defined by the bits Lim_max 0 to Lim_max 5 in control register 6.
Using the above formulas, Lim_min and Lim_max can be determined according to the required TLim_min, TLim_max and TXDCLK.
The time resolution defining TLim_min and TLim_max is TXDCLK. The minimum edge to edge time tee is defined according to the
section “Receiving Mode” on page 53. The lower limit should be set to Lim_min ≥ 10. The maximum value of the upper limit
is Lim_max = 63.
Figure 11-4, Figure 11-5 and Figure 11-6 on page 52 illustrate the Bit-check for the Bit-check limits Lim_min = 14 and
Lim_max = 24. The signal processing circuits are enabled during TStartup_PLL and TStartup_Sig_Proc. The output of the ASK/FSK
demodulator (Demod_Out) is undefined during that period. When the Bit-check becomes active, the Bit-check counter is
clocked with the cycle TXDCLK.
Figure 11-4 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 11-5 on page 52 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 11-6 on page 52.

11.1.6 Duration of the Bit-check
If no transmitter is present during the Bit-check, the output of the ASK/FSK demodulator delivers random signals. The Bitcheck 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 bit-rate range and on TXDCLK. A higher bit-rate range causes a
lower value for TBit-check resulting in a lower current consumption in RX polling mode.
In the presence of a valid transmitter signal, TBit-check is dependent on the frequency of that signal, fSignal, and the count of the
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.

11.1.7 Receiving Mode
If the Bit-check was successful for all bits specified by NBit-check, the transceiver switches to receiving mode. To activate a
connected microcontroller, bit CLK_ON in control register 3 is set to 1. An interrupt is issued at pin IRQ if the control bits
T_MODE = 0 and P_MODE = 0.
If the transparent mode is active (T_MODE = 1) and the level on pin CS is inactive (no data transfer via the serial interface),
the RX data stream is available on pin SDO_TMDO (Figure 11-7).

Bit-check mode
Receiving mode
If the transparent mode is inactive (T_MODE = 0), the received data stream is buffered in the TX/RX data buffer (see
Figure 11-8 on page 54). The TX/RX data buffer is only usable for Manchester and Bi-phase coded signals. It is permanently
possible to transfer the data from the data buffer via the 4-wire serial interface to a microcontroller (see Figure 10-1 on page
43).
Buffering of the data stream:
After a successful Bit-check, the transceiver switches from Bit-check mode to receiving mode. In receiving mode the TX/RX
data buffer control logic is active and examines the incoming data stream. This is done, like in 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 11-8 on page 54. 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 for the Bit-check. They can be programmed in control register 5 and 6 (Lim_min,
Lim_max).
The limits for 2T are calculated as follows:
Lower limit of 2T:
Lim_min_2T =  Lim_min + Lim_max  –  Lim_max – Lim_min   2
T Lim_min_2T = Lim_min_2T  T XDCLK
Upper limit of 2T:
Lim_max_2T =  Lim_min + Lim_max  +  Lim_max – Lim_min   2
T Lim_max_2T = (Lim_max_2T – 1   T XDCLK
If the result of Lim_min_2T or Lim_max_2T is not an integer value, it will be round up.
If the TX/RX data buffer control logic detects the start bit, the data stream is written in the TX/RX data buffer byte by byte.
The start bit is part of the first data byte and must be different from the bits of the preburst. If the preburst consists of a
sequence of “00000...”, the start bit must be a 1. If the preburst consists of a sequence of “11111...”, the start bit must be a 0.
If the data stream consists of more than 16 bytes, a buffer overflow occurs and the TX/RX data buffer control logic overwrites
the bytes already stored in the TX/RX data buffer. So it is very important to ensure that the data is read in time so that no
buffer overflow occurs in that case (see Figure 10-1 on page 43). There is a counter that indicates the number of received
bytes in the TX/RX data buffer (see section “Transceiver Configuration” on page 43). If a byte is transferred to the
microcontroller, the counter is decremented, if a byte is received, the counter is incremented. The counter value is available
via the 4-wire serial interface.
An interrupt is issued if the counter while counting forwards reaches the value defined by the control bits IR0 and IR1 in
control register 1.

Readable via 4-wire serial interface
If the TX/RX data buffer control logic detects a bit error, an interrupt is issued and the transceiver is set back to the start-up
mode (see Figure 11-1 on page 49 and Figure 11-9).
Bit error:
Note:
a) tee < TLim_min or TLim_max < tee < TLim_min_2T or tee > TLim_max_2T
b) Logical error (no edge detected in the bit center)
The byte consisting of the bit error will not be stored in the TX/RX data buffer. Thus it is not available via the 4wire serial interface.
Writing the control register 1, 4, 5, 6 or 7 during receiving mode resets the TX/RX data buffer control logic and the counter
which indicates the number of received bytes. If the bits OPM0 and OPM1 are still 1 and OPM2 is still 0 after writing to a
control register, the transceiver changes to the start-up mode (start-up signal processing).

11.1.8 Recommended Lim_min and Lim_max for Maximum Sensitivity
The sensitivity measurement in the section “Low-IF Receiver” on page 9, in Table 5-3 and Table 5-4 on page 10 have been
done with the Lim_min and Lim_max values according to Table 11-3. These values are optimized for maximum sensitivity.
Note that since these Limits are optimized for sensitivity the number of checked bit NBit-check has to be at least 6 to prevent
the circuit from waking up too often in polling mode due to noise.

TX Operation
The transceiver is set to TX operation by using the bits OPM0, OPM1 and OPM2 in the control register 1.

TX mode
Before activating the TX mode, the TX parameters (bit rate, modulation scheme...) must be selected as illustrated in Figure
11-10 on page 56. The bit rate depends on Baud0 and Baud1 in control register 6 and TX0 to TX5 in control register 7 (see
section “Control Register” on page 33). The modulation is selected with ASK_NFSK in control register 4. The FSK frequency
deviation is fixed to about ±19kHz (see Table 6-1 on page 25). If P_Mode is set to 1, the Manchester modulator is disabled
and pattern mode is active (NRZ, see Table 11-5 on page 58).
After the transceiver is set to TX mode the start-up mode is active and the PLL is enabled. If the PLL is locked, the TX mode
is active.
If the transceiver is in start-up or TX mode, the TX/RX data buffer can be loaded via the 4-wire serial interface. After N bytes
are in the buffer and the TX mode is active, the transceiver starts transmitting automatically (beginning with the MSB). Bit 0
to Bit 4 in the command Write TX/RX Data Buffer defines the value N (0 ≤ N ≤ 16; see section “Command Structure” on page
45). While transmitting, it is permanently possible to load new data in the TX/RX data buffer. To prevent a buffer overflow or
interruptions during transmitting the user must ensure that data is loaded at the same speed as it is transmitted.
There is a counter that indicates the number of bytes to be transmitted (see section “Transceiver Configuration” on page 43).
If a byte is loaded, the counter is incremented, if a byte is transmitted, the counter is decremented. The counter value is
available via the 4-wire serial interface. An IRQ is issued if the counter reaches the value defined by the control bits IR0 and
IR1 in control register 1.
Note:
Writing to the control register 1, 4, 5, 6 or 7 during TX mode, resets the TX/RX data buffer and the counter
which indicates the number of bytes to be transmitted.
If T_Mode in control register 1 is set to 1, the transceiver is in TX transparent mode. In this mode the TX/RX data buffer is
disabled and the TX data stream must be applied on pin SDI_TMDI. Figure 11-10 on page 56 illustrates the flow chart of the
TX transparent mode.

Interrupts
Via pin IRQ, the transceiver signals different operating conditions to a connected microcontroller. If a specific operating
condition occurs, pin IRQ is set to a high level.
If an interrupt occurs, it is recommended to delete the interrupt immediately by reading the status register, thus the next
possible interrupt doesn’t get lost. If the Interrupt pin doesn’t switch to a low level by reading the status register, the interrupt
was triggered by the RX/TX data buffer. In this case, read or write the RX/TX data buffer according to Table 11-6.
