Functional Description
3.4 Functional Blocks
3.4.1
Low Noise Amplifier (LNA)
The LNA is an on-chip cascode amplifier with a voltage gain of 15 to 20dB. The
gain figure is determined by the external matching networks situated ahead of
LNA and between the LNA output LNO (Pin 6) and the Mixer Inputs MI and MIX
(Pins 8 and 9). The noise figure of the LNA is approximately 2dB, the current
consumption is 500µA. The gain can be reduced by approximately 18dB. The
switching point of this AGC action can be determined externally by applying a
threshold voltage at the THRES pin (Pin 23). This voltage is compared internally
with the received signal (RSSI) level generated by the limiter circuitry. In case
that the RSSI level is higher than the threshold voltage the LNA gain is reduced
and vice versa. The threshold voltage can be generated by attaching a voltage
divider between the 3VOUT pin (Pin 24) which provides a temperature stable
3V output generated from the internal bandgap voltage and the THRES pin as
described in Section 4.1. The time constant of the AGC action can be determined by connecting a capacitor to the TAGC pin (Pin 4) and should be chosen
along with the appropriate threshold voltage according to the intended operating case and interference scenario to be expected during operation. The optimum choice of AGC time constant and the threshold voltage is described in
Section 4.1.
3.4.2
Mixer
The Double Balanced Mixer downconverts the input frequency (RF) in the
range of 310-350MHz to the intermediate frequency (IF) at 10.7MHz with a voltage gain of approximately 21dB by utilising either high- or low-side injection of
the local oscillator signal. In case the mixer is interfaced only single-ended, the
unused mixer input has to be tied to ground via a capacitor. The mixer is followed by a low pass filter with a corner frequency of 20MHz in order to suppress
RF signals to appear at the IF output (IFO pin). The IF output is internally consisting of an emitter follower that has a source impedance of approximately
330Ω to facilitate interfacing the pin directly to a standard 10.7MHz ceramic filter
without additional matching circuitry.
3.4.3
PLL Synthesizer
The Phase Locked Loop synthesizer consists of a VCO, an asynchronous
divider chain, a phase detector with charge pump and a loop filter and is fully
implemented on-chip. The VCO is including spiral inductors and varactor
diodes. The FSEL pin (Pin11) has to be left open. The tuning range of the VCO
was designed to guarantee over production spread and the specified temperature range a receive frequency range between 310 and 350MHz depending on
whether high- or low-side injection of the local oscillator is used. The oscillator
signal is fed both to the synthesiser divider chain and to a divider that is dividing

the signal by 2 before it is applied to the downconverting mixer. Local oscillator
high side injection has to be used for receive frequencies between approximately 310 and 330 MHz, low side injection for receive frequencies between
330 and 350MHz - see also Section 4.4..
3.4.4
Crystal Oscillator
The on-chip crystal oscillator circuitry allows for utilisation of quartzes both in
the 5 and 10MHz range as the overall division ratio of the PLL can be switched
between 64 and 128 via the CSEL (Pin 16 ) pin according to the following table.

10.xx MHz
The calculation of the value of the necessary quartz load capacitance is shown
in Section 4.3, the quartz frequency calculation is expained in Section 4.4.
3.4.5
Limiter
The Limiter is an AC coupled multistage amplifier with a cumulative gain of
approximately 80dB that has a bandpass-characteristic centred around
10.7MHz. It has an input impedance of 330 Ω to allow for easy interfacing to a
10.7MHz ceramic IF filter. The limiter circuit acts as a Receive Signal Strength
Indicator (RSSI) generator which produces a DC voltage that is directly proportional to the input signal level as can be seen in Figure 4-2. This signal is used
to demodulate the ASK receive signal in the subsequent baseband circuitry and
to turn down the LNA gain by approximately 18dB in case the input signal
strength is too strong as described in Section 3.4.1 and Section 4.1.
3.4.6
Data Filter
The data filter comprises an OP-Amp with a bandwidth of 100kHz used as a
voltage follower and two 100kΩ on-chip resistors. Along with two external
capacitors a 2nd order Sallen-Key low pass filter is formed. The selection of the
capacitor values is described in Section 4.2.

Functional Description
3.4.7
Data Slicer
The data slicer is a fast comparator with a bandwidth of 100 kHz. This allows
for a maximum receive data rate of approximately 120kBaud. The maximum
achievable data rate also depends on the IF Filter bandwidth and the local oscillator tolerance values. Both inputs are accessible. The output delivers a digital
data signal (CMOS-like levels) for the detector. The self-adjusting threshold on
pin 20 its generated by RC-term or peak detector depending on the baseband
coding scheme. The data slicer threshold generation alternatives are described
in more detail in Section 4.5.
3.4.8
Peak Detector
The peak detector generates a DC voltage which is proportional to the peak
value of the receive data signal. An external RC network is necessary. The output can be used as an indicator for the signal strength and also as a reference
for the data slicer. The maximum output current is 500µA.
3.4.9
Bandgap Reference Circuitry
A Bandgap Reference Circuit provides a temperature stable reference voltage
for the device. A power down mode is available to switch off all subcircuits which
is controlled by the PWDN pin (Pin 27) as shown in the following table. The supply current drawn in this case is typically 50nA.

LNA Automatic Gain Control Circuitry
The LNA automatic gain control circuitry consists of an operational transimpedance amplifier that is used to compare the received signal strength signal
(RSSI) generated by the Limiter with an externally provided threshold voltage
Uthres. As shown in the following figure the threshold voltage can have any
value between approximately 0.8 and 2.8V to provide a switching point within
the receive signal dynamic range.
This voltage Uthres is applied to the THRES pin (Pin 23) The threshold voltage
can be generated by attaching a voltage divider between the 3VOUT pin
(Pin 24) which provides a temperature stable 3V output generated from the
internal bandgap voltage and the THRES pin. If the RSSI level generated by the
Limiter is higher than Uthres, the OTA generates a positive current Iload. This
yields a voltage rise on the TAGC pin (Pin 4). Otherwise, the OTA generates a
negative current. These currents do not have the same values in order to
achieve a fast-attack and slow-release action of the AGC and are used to
charge an external capacitor which finally generates the LNA gain control voltage.

RSSI Level and Permissive AGC Threshold Levels
The switching point should be chosen according to the intended operating scenario. The determination of the optimum point is described in the accompanying
Application Note, a threshold voltage level of 1.8V is apparently a viable choice.
It should be noted that the output of the 3VOUT pin is capable of driving up to
50µA, but that the THRES pin input current is only in the region of 40nA. As the
current drawn out of the 3VOUT pin is directly related to the receiver power consumption, the power divider resistors should have high impedance values. R4
can be chosen as 120kΩ, R5 as 180kΩ to yield an overall 3VOUT output current
of 10µA.
Note: If the LNA gain shall be kept in either high or low gain mode this has to
be accomplished by tying the THRES pin to a fixed voltage. In order to achieve
high gain mode operation, a voltage higher than 2.8V shall be applied to the
THRES pin, such as a short to the 3VOLT pin. In order to achieve low gain
mode operation a voltage lower than 0.7V shall be applied to the THRES, such
as a short to ground.
As stated above the capacitor connected to the TAGC pin is generating the gain
control voltage of the LNA due to the charging and discharging currents of the
OTA and thus is also responsible for the AGC time constant. As the charging
and discharging currents are not equal two different time constants will result.
The time constant corresponding to the charging process of the capacitor shall
be chosen according to the data rate. According to measurements performed
at Infineon the capacitor value should be greater than 47nF.

4.2 Data Filter Design
Utilising the on-board voltage follower and the two 100kΩ on-chip resistors a
2nd order Sallen-Key low pass data filter can be constructed by adding 2 external capacitors between pins 19 (SLP) and 22 (FFB) and to pin 21 (OPP) as

4.3 Quartz Load Capacitance Calculation
The value of the capacitor necessary to achieve that the quartz oscillator is
operating at the intended frequency is determined by the reactive part of the
negative resistance of the oscillator circuit as shown in Section 5.1.3 and by the
quartz specifications given by the quartz manufacturer.

with Cl the load capacitance (refer to the quartz crystal specification).
Examples:
5.1 MHz:
CL = 12 pF
XL=580 Ω
CS = 9.8 pF
10.18 MHz:
CL = 12 pF
XL=870 Ω
CS = 7.2 pF
These values may be obtained by putting two capacitors in series to the quartz,
such as 18pF and 22pF in the 5.1MHz case and 18pF and 12pF in the 10.2MHz
case.
But please note that the calculated value of CS includes the parasitic capacitors
also.

4.4 Quartz Frequency Calculation
As described in Section 3.4.3 the operating range of the on-chip VCO is wide
enough to guarantee a receive frequency range between 310 and 350MHz. The
VCO signal is divided by 2 before applied to the mixer . This local oscillator signal can be used to downconvert the RF signals both with high- or low-side injection at the mixer. High-side injection of the local oscillator has to be used for
receive frequencies between 310 and 330 MHz. In this case the local oscillator
frequency is calculated by adding the IF frequency (10.7 MHz) to the RF frequency.
Low-side injection has to be used for receive frequencies between 330 and
350 MHz. The local oscillator frequency is calculated by subtracting the IF frequency (10.7 MHz) from the RF frequency then. The overall division ratios in
the PLL are 64 or 32 depending on whether the CSEL-pin is left open or tied to
ground.
Therefore the quartz frequency may be calculated by using the following formula:
f QU =
f RF − 10.7
r
with
ƒRF
....
receive frequency
ƒLO
....
local oscillator (PLL) frequency (ƒRF ± 10.7)

frequency as shown in the subsequent table.

Example:
Addition of 10.7 is used in case of operation the device at 315 MHz, subtraction
in case of operation at 345 MHz for instance. This yields the following frequencies:
CSEL tied to GND:
f QU = (315 MHz + 10 .7 MHz ) / 32 = 10 .1781 MHz
f QU = (345 MHz − 10 .7 MHz ) / 32 = 10 .4469 MHz

4.5 Data Slicer Threshold Generation
The threshold of the data slicer especially for a coding scheme without DC-content, can be generated in two ways, depending on the signal coding scheme
used. In case of a signal coding scheme without DC content such as Manchester coding the threshold can be generated using an external R-C integrator as
shown in Figure 4-5. The time constant TA of the R-C integrator has to be significantly larger than the longest period of no signal change TL within the data
sequence. In order to keep distortion low, the minimum value for R is 20kΩ.
