General Description This fully integrated PLL transmitter allows particularly simple, low-cost RF miniature transmitters to be assembled. The VCO is locked to 32 fXTAL hence a 9.8438 MHz crystal is needed for a 315 MHz transmitter. All other PLL and VCO peripheral elements are integrated. The XTO is a series resonance oscillator so that only one capacitor together with a crystal connected in series to GND are needed as external elements. The crystal oscillator together with the PLL needs typically < 3 ms until the PLL is locked and the CLK output is stable. There is a wait time of ≥ 3 ms until the CLK is used for the microcontroller and the PA is switched on. The power amplifier is an open-collector output delivering a current pulse which is nearly independent from the load impedance. The delivered output power is hence controllable via the connected load impedance. This output configuration enables a simple matching to any kind of antenna or to 50 Ω. A high power efficiency of η= Pout/(IS,PA VS) of 40% for the power amplifier results when an optimized load impedance of ZLoad = (255 + j192) Ω is used at 3 V supply voltage. 4. Functional Description If ENABLE = L and the PA_ENABLE = L, the circuit is in standby mode consuming only a very small amount of current so that a lithium cell used as power supply can work for several years. With ENABLE = H the XTO, PLL and the CLK driver are switched on. If PA_ENABLE remains L only the PLL and the XTO is running and the CLK signal is delivered to the microcontroller. The VCO locks to 32 times the XTO frequency. With ENABLE = H and PA_ENABLE = H the PLL, XTO, CLK driver and the power amplifier are on. With PA_ENABLE the power amplifier can be switched on and off, which is used to perform the ASK modulation. 4.1 ASK Transmission The T5753 is activated by ENABLE = H. PA_ENABLE must remain L for typically ≥ 3 ms, then the CLK signal can be taken to clock the microcontroller and the output power can be modulated by means of Pin PA_ENABLE. After transmission PA_ENABLE is switched to L and the microcontroller switches back to internal clocking. The T5753 is switched back to standby mode with ENABLE = L. 4.2 FSK Transmission The T5753 is activated by ENABLE = H. PA_ENABLE must remain L for typically ≥ 3 ms, then the CLK signal can be taken to clock the microcontroller and the power amplifier is switched on with PA_ENABLE = H. The chip is then ready for FSK modulation. The microcontroller starts to switch on and off the capacitor between the XTAL load capacitor and GND with an open-drain output port, thus changing the reference frequency of the PLL. If the switch is closed, the output frequency is lower than if the switch is open. After transmission PA_ENABLE is switched to L and the microcontroller switches back to internal clocking. The T5753 is switched back to standby mode with ENABLE = L. The accuracy of the frequency deviation with XTAL pulling method is about ±25% when the following tolerances are considered. 4 T5753 4510I–RKE–02/07 T5753 Figure 4-1. Tolerances of Frequency Modulation VS CStray1 CStray2 LM C4 XTAL CM RS C0 Crystal equivalent circuit C5 CSwitch Using C4 = 8.2 pF ±5%, C5 = 10 pF ±5%, a switch port with CSwitch = 3 pF ±10%, stray capacitances on each side of the crystal of CStray1 = CStray2 = 1 pF ±10%, a parallel capacitance of the crystal of C0 = 3.2 pF ±10% and a crystal with CM = 13 fF ±10%, an FSK deviation of ±21.5 kHz typical with worst case tolerances of ±16.25 kHz to ±28.01 kHz results. 4.3 CLK Output An output CLK signal is provided for a connected microcontroller, the delivered signal is CMOS compatible if the load capacitance is lower than 10 pF. 4.3.1 Clock Pulse Take-over The clock of the crystal oscillator can be used for clocking the microcontroller. Atmel ® ’s ATARx9x has the special feature of starting with an integrated RC-oscillator to switch on the T5753 with ENABLE = H, and after 1 ms to assume the clock signal of the transmission IC, so that the message can be sent with crystal accuracy. 4.3.2 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 = (255 + j192)Ω. There must be a low resistive path to VS to deliver the DC current. The delivered current pulse of the power amplifier is 9 mA and the maximum output power is delivered to a resistive load of 400Ω if the 1.0 pF output capacitance of the power amplifier is compensated by the load impedance. An optimum load impedance of: ZLoad = 400Ω || j/(2 × π 1.0 pF) = (255 + j192)Ω thus results for the maximum output power of 8 dBm. The load impedance is defined as the impedance seen from the T5753’s ANT1, ANT2 into the matching network. Do not confuse this large signal load impedance with a small signal input impedance delivered as input characteristic of RF amplifiers and measured from the application into the IC instead of from the IC into the application for a power amplifier. Less output power is achieved by lowering the real parallel part of 400Ω where the parallel imaginary part should be kept constant. Output power measurement can be done with the circuit of Figure 4-2. Note that the component values must be changed to compensate the individual board parasitics until the T5753 has the right load impedance ZLoad,opt = (255 + j192)Ω. Also the damping of the cable used to measure the output power must be calibrated out. 5 4510I–RKE–02/07 Figure 4-2. Output Power Measurement at f = 315 MHz VS C1 1 nF L1 56 nH C2 ANT1 ZLopt 3.3 pF ANT2 Note: 4.4 Z = 50Ω Power meter Rin 50Ω For 345 MHz C2 has to be changed to 2.7 pF Application Circuit For the blocking of the supply voltage a capacitor value of C3 = 68 nF/X7R is recommended (see Figure 4-3 on page 7 and Figure 4-4 on page 8). C1 and C2 are used to match the loop antenna to the power amplifier where C 1 typically is 22 pF/NP0 and C 2 is 10.8 pF/NP0 (18 pF + 27 pF in series); for C2 two capacitors in series should be used to achieve a better tolerance value and to have the possibility to realize the Z Load,opt by using standard valued capacitors. C1 forms together with the pins of T5753 and the PCB board wires 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 1.5 mm, otherwise the Q-factor of the loop antenna is too high. L1 ([50 nH to 100 nH) can be printed on PCB. C4 should be selected that the XTO runs on the load resonance frequency of the crystal. Normally, a value of 12 pF results for a 15 pF load-capacitance crystal. 6 T5753 4510I–RKE–02/07 T5753 Figure 4-3.
