Description
CC1020 is a true single-chip UHF transceiver designed for very low-power and very low-voltage wireless
applications. The circuit is mainly intended for the ISM (Industrial, Scientific, and Medical) and SRD (Short
Range Device) frequency bands at 402-, 424-, 426-, 429-, 433-, 447-, 449-, 469-, 868-, 915-, and 960MHz, but can easily be programmed for multichannel operation at other frequencies in the 402- to 470MHz and 804- to 960-MHz range.
The CC1020 device is especially suited for narrow-band systems with channel spacing of 12.5 or 25 kHz
complying with ARIB STD-T67 and EN 300 220.
The main operating parameters of the CC1020 device can be programmed with a serial bus, thus making
CC1020 a very flexible and easy-to-use transceiver.
In a typical system, the CC1020 device will be used together with a microcontroller and a few external
passive components.
TI recommends using the latest RF performance line device CC1120 as successor of CC1020:

108/216 kHz is the maximum specified
separation at 1.84 MHz reference
frequency. Larger separations can be
achieved at higher reference
frequencies.
Delivered to 50 Ω single-ended load. The
output power is programmable and
should not be programmed to exceed
+10/+5 dBm at 433/868 MHz under any
operating conditions (refer to CC1020
Errata Note 003 in the CC1020 product
folder). See Section 5.11 for details.
At maximum output power
Harmonics are measured as EIRP
values according to EN 300 220. The
antenna (SMAFF-433 and SMAFF-868
from R.W. Badland) plays a part in
attenuating the harmonics.

To comply with EN 300 220, FCC
CFR47 part 15 and ARIB STD-T96 an
external (antenna) filter, as implemented
in the application circuit in Section 5.11,
must be used and tailored to each
individual design to reduce out-of-band
spurious emission levels.
Spurious emissions can be measured as
EIRP values according to EN 300 220.
The antenna (SMAFF-433 and SMAFF868 from R.W. Badland) plays a part in
attenuating the spurious emissions.
If the output power is increased using an
external PA, a filter must be used to
attenuate spurs below 862 MHz when
operating in the 868 MHz frequency
band in Europe. Application Note AN036
CC1020/1021 Reducing Spurious
Emission (SWRA057) presents and
discusses a solution that reduces the TX
mode spurious emission close to 862
MHz by increasing the REF_DIV from 1
to 7.

5 Detailed Description
5.1
Overview
A simplified block diagram of CC1020 is shown in Figure 5-1. Only signal pins are shown.
CC1020 features a low-IF receiver. The received RF signal is amplified by the low-noise amplifier (LNA
and LNA2) and down-converted in quadrature (I and Q) to the intermediate frequency (IF). At IF, the I/Q
signal is complex filtered and amplified, and then digitized by the ADCs. Automatic gain control, fine
channel filtering, demodulation and bit synchronization is performed digitally. CC1020 outputs the digital
demodulated data on the DIO pin. A synchronized data clock is available at the DCLK pin. RSSI is
available in digital format and can be read via the serial interface. The RSSI also features a programmable
carrier sense indicator.
In transmit mode, the synthesized RF frequency is fed directly to the power amplifier (PA). The RF output
is frequency shift keyed (FSK) by the digital bit stream that is fed to the DIO pin. Optionally, a Gaussian
filter can be used to obtain Gaussian FSK (GFSK).
The frequency synthesizer includes a completely on-chip LC VCO and a 90 degrees phase splitter for
generating the LO_I and LO_Q signals to the down-conversion mixers in receive mode. The VCO
operates in the frequency range 1.608 to 1.880 GHz. The CHP_OUT pin is the charge pump output and
VC is the control node of the on-chip VCO. The external loop filter is placed between these pins. A crystal
is to be connected between XOSC_Q1 and XOSC_Q2. A lock signal is available from the PLL.
The 4-wire SPI serial interface is used for configuration.

Configuration Overview
CC1020 can be configured to achieve optimum performance for different applications. Through the
programmable configuration registers the following key parameters can be programmed:
• Receive and transmit mode
• RF output power
• Frequency synthesizer key parameters:
– RF output frequency
– FSK frequency separation
– Crystal oscillator reference frequency
• Power-down and power-up mode
• Power-down and power-up mode
• Data rate and data format (NRZ, Manchester coded or UART interface)
• Synthesizer lock indicator mode
• Digital RSSI and carrier sense
• FSK, GFSK, and OOK modulation
5.3.1
Configuration Software
TI provides users of CC1020 with a software program, SmartRF Studio (Windows interface) that
generates all necessary CC1020 configuration data based on the user’s selections of various parameters.
These hexadecimal numbers will then be the necessary input to the microcontroller for the configuration of
CC1020. In addition, the program will provide the user with the component values needed for the
input/output matching circuit, the PLL loop filter and the LC filter.
Figure 5-2 shows the user interface of the CC1020 configuration software.

Microcontroller Interface
Used in a typical system, CC1020 will interface to a microcontroller. This microcontroller must be able to:
• Program CC1020 into different modes via the 4-wire serial configuration interface (PDI, PDO, PCLK
and PSEL).
• Interface to the bi-directional synchronous data signal interface (DIO and DCLK).
• Optionally, the microcontroller can do data encoding and decoding.
• Optionally, the microcontroller can monitor the LOCK pin for frequency lock status, carrier sense status
or other status information.
• Optionally, the microcontroller can read back the digital RSSI value and other status information via the
4-wire serial interface.
5.4.1
Configuration Interface
The microcontroller interface is shown in Figure 5-3. The microcontroller uses 3 or 4 I/O pins for the
configuration interface (PDI, PDO, PCLK and PSEL). PDO should be connected to a microcontroller input.
PDI, PCLK and PSEL must be microcontroller outputs. One I/O pin can be saved if PDI and PDO are
connected together and a bi-directional pin is used at the microcontroller.
The microcontroller pins connected to PDI, PDO and PCLK can be used for other purposes when the
configuration interface is not used. PDI, PDO and PCLK are high impedance inputs as long as PSEL is
not activated (active low).
PSEL has an internal pullup resistor and should be left open (tri-stated by the microcontroller) or set to a
high level during power down mode in order to prevent a trickle current flowing in the pullup.
5.4.2
Signal Interface
A bi-directional pin is usually used for data (DIO) to be transmitted and data received. DCLK providing the
data timing should
As an option, the data output in receive mode can be made available on a separate pin. See Section 5.6
for further details.
5.4.3
PLL Lock Signal
Optionally, one microcontroller pin can be used to monitor the LOCK signal. This signal is at low logic
level when the PLL is in lock. It can also be used for carrier sense and to monitor other internal test
signals.

4-wire Serial Configuration Interface
CC1020 is configured via a simple 4-wire SPI-compatible interface (PDI, PDO, PCLK and PSEL) where
CC1020 is the slave. There are 8-bit configuration registers, each addressed by a 7-bit address. A
Read/Write bit initiates a read or write operation. A full configuration of CC1020 requires sending 33 data
frames of 16 bits each (7 address bits, R/W bit and 8 data bits). The time needed for a full configuration
depends on the PCLK frequency. With a PCLK frequency of 10 MHz the full configuration is done in less
than 53 ms. Setting the device in power down mode requires sending one frame only and will in this case
take less than 2 ms. All registers are also readable.
During each write-cycle, 16 bits are sent on the PDI-line. The seven most significant bits of each data
frame (A6:0) are the address-bits. A6 is the MSB (Most Significant Bit) of the address and is sent as the
first bit. The next bit is the R/W bit (high for write, low for read). The 8 data-bits are then transferred
(D7:0). During address and data transfer the PSEL (Program Select) must be kept low. See Figure 5-4.
The timing for the programming is also shown in Figure 5-4 with reference to Table 5-1. The clocking of
the data on PDI is done on the positive edge of PCLK. Data should be set up on the negative edge of
PCLK by the microcontroller. When the last bit, D0, of the 8 data-bits has been loaded, the data word is
loaded into the internal configuration register.
The configuration data will be retained during a programmed power down mode, but not when the power
supply is turned off. The registers can be programmed in any order.
The configuration registers can also be read by the microcontroller via the same configuration interface.
The seven address bits are sent first, then the R/W bit set low to initiate the data read-back. CC1020 then
returns the data from the addressed register. PDO is used as the data output and must be configured as
an input by the microcontroller. The PDO is set at the negative edge of PCLK and should be sampled at
the positive edge. The read operation is illustrated in Figure 5-5.
PSEL must be set high between each read/write operation.

Signal Interface
The CC1020 can be used with NRZ (Non-Return-to-Zero) data or Manchester (also known as bi-phaselevel) encoded data. CC1020 can also synchronize the data from the demodulator and provide the data
clock at DCLK. The data format is controlled by the DATA_FORMAT[1:0] bits in the MODEM register.
CC1020 can be configured for three different data formats: Synchronous NRZ mode, Transparent
Asynchronous UART mode, and Synchronous Manchester encoded mode.

SWRS046H – NOVEMBER 2006 – REVISED MARCH 2015
5.6.1
www.ti.com
Synchronous NRZ Mode
In transmit mode CC1020 provides the data clock at DCLK and DIO is used as data input. Data is clocked
into CC1020 at the rising edge of DCLK. The data is modulated at RF without encoding.
In receive mode CC1020 performs the synchronization and provides received data clock at DCLK and
data at DIO. The data should be clocked into the interfacing circuit at the rising edge of DCLK. See
Figure 5-6.
5.6.2
Transparent Asynchronous UART Mode
In transmit mode DIO is used as data input. The data is modulated at RF without synchronization or
encoding.
In receive mode the raw data signal from the demodulator is sent to the output (DIO). No synchronization
or decoding of the signal is done in CC1020 and should be done by the interfacing circuit.
If SEP_DI_DO = 0 in the INTERFACE register, the DIO pin is the data output in receive mode and data
input in transmit mode. The DCLK pin is not active and can be set to a high or low level by
DATA_FORMAT[0].
If SEP_DI_DO = 1 in the INTERFACE register, the DCLK pin is the data output in receive mode and the
DIO pin is the data input in transmit mode. In TX mode the DCLK pin is not active and can be set to a high
or low level by DATA_FORMAT[0]. See Figure 5-7.
5.6.3
Synchronous Manchester Encoded Mode
In transmit mode CC1020 provides the data clock at DCLK and DIO is used as data input. Data is clocked
into CC1020 at the rising edge of DCLK and should be in NRZ format. The data is modulated at RF with
Manchester code. The encoding is done by CC1020. In this mode the effective bit rate is half the baud
rate due to the coding. As an example, 4.8 kBaud Manchester encoded data corresponds to 2.4 kbps.
In receive mode CC1020 performs the synchronization and provides received data clock at DCLK and
data at DIO. CC1020 performs the decoding and NRZ data is presented at DIO. The data should be
clocked into the interfacing circuit at the rising edge of DCLK. See Figure 5-7.
In synchronous NRZ or Manchester mode the DCLK signal runs continuously both in RX and TX unless
the DCLK signal is gated with the carrier sense signal or the PLL lock signal. Refer to Section 5.18 and
Section 5.18.2 for more details.
If SEP_DI_DO = 0 in the INTERFACE register, the DIO pin is the data output in receive mode and data
input in transmit mode.
As an option, the data output can be made available at a separate pin. This is done by setting
SEP_DI_DO = 1 in the INTERFACE register. Then, the LOCK pin will be used as data output in
synchronous mode, overriding other use of the LOCK pin.
5.6.3.1
Manchester Encoding and Decoding
In the Synchronous Manchester encoded mode CC1020 uses Manchester coding when modulating the
data. The CC1020 also performs the data decoding and synchronization. The Manchester code is based
on transitions; a “0” is encoded as a low-to-high transition, a “1” is encoded as a high-to-low transition.
See Figure 5-9.
The Manchester code ensures that the signal has a constant DC component, which is necessary in some
FSK demodulators. Using this mode also ensures compatibility with CC400/CC900 designs.

Data Rate Programming
The data rate (baud rate) is programmable and depends on the crystal frequency and the programming of
the CLOCK (CLOCK_A and CLOCK_B) registers.
The baud rate (B.R.) is given by Equation 1.
fxosc
B.R. =
8 ´ (REF _ DIV + 1) ´ DIV1 ´ DIV2
(1)
Where:
DIV1 and DIV2 are given by the value of MCLK_DIV1 and MCLK_DIV2.
Table 5-4 shows some possible data rates as a function of crystal frequency in synchronous mode. In
asynchronous transparent UART mode any data rate up to 153.6 kBaud can be used.

Frequency Programming
Programming the frequency word in the configuration registers sets the operation frequency. There are
two frequency words registers, termed FREQ_A and FREQ_B, which can be programmed to two different
frequencies. One of the frequency words can be used for RX (local oscillator frequency) and the other for
TX (transmitting carrier frequency) in order to be able to switch very fast between RX mode and TX mode.
They can also be used for RX (or TX) at two different channels. The F_REG bit in the MAIN register
selects frequency word A or B.
The frequency word is located in FREQ_2A:FREQ_1A:FREQ_0A and FREQ_2B:FREQ_1B:FREQ_0B for
the FREQ_A and FREQ_B word respectively. The LSB of the FREQ_0 registers are used to enable
dithering, see Section 5.8.1.
The PLL output frequency is given by Equation 2 in the frequency band 402 to 470 MHz.

(3)
The BANDSELECT bit in the ANALOG register controls the frequency band used. BANDSELECT = 0
gives 402 to 470 MHz, and BANDSELECT = 1 gives 804 to 960 MHz.
The reference frequency is the crystal oscillator clock frequency divided by REF_DIV (3 bits in the
CLOCK_A or CLOCK_B register), a number between 1 and 7, as shown in Equation 4.
fxosc
fref =
REF _ DIV + 1
(4)
FSK frequency deviation is programmed in the DEVIATION register. The deviation programming is divided
into a mantissa (TXDEV_M[3:0]) and an exponent (TXDEV_X[2:0]).
Generally REF_DIV should be as low as possible but the requirements (shown in Equation 5 and
Equation 6) must be met.

The PLL output frequency Equation 2 and Equation 3 give the carrier frequency, fc , in transmit mode
(centre frequency). The two FSK modulation frequencies are given by Equation 7 and Equation 7.
f0 = fc – fdev
f1 = fc + fdev
(7)
(8)
Where:
fdev is set by the DEVIATION register shown in Equation 9 in the frequency band 402 to 470 MHz and
in Equation 10 in the frequency band 804 to 960 MHz.
fdev = fref ´ TXDEV _ M ´ 2(TXDEV _ X -16)

(TXDEV _ X -15)
fdev = fref ´ TXDEV _ M ´ 2
(10)
OOK (On-Off Keying) is used if TXDEV_M[3:0] = 0000.
The TX_SHAPING bit in the DEVIATION register controls Gaussian shaping of the modulation signal.

In receive mode the frequency must be programmed to be the LO frequency. Low side LO injection is
used, hence Equation 8.
fLO = fc – fIF
(11)
Where:
fIF is the IF frequency (ideally 307.2 kHz).
5.8.1
Dithering
Spurious signals will occur at certain frequencies depending on the division ratios in the PLL. To reduce
the strength of these spurs, a common technique is to use a dithering signal in the control of the frequency
dividers. Dithering is activated by setting the DITHER bit in the FREQ_0 registers. It is recommended to
use the dithering in order to achieve the best possible performance.
5.9
5.9.1
Receiver
IF Frequency
The IF frequency is derived from the crystal frequency as shown in Equation 12.
fxoscx
f IF =
8 ´ (ADC _ DIV [2 : 0]+ 1)
(12)
Where:
ADC_DIV[2:0] is set in the MODEM register.
The analog filter succeeding the mixer is used for wideband and anti-alias filtering, which is important for
the blocking performance at 1 MHz and larger offsets. This filter is fixed and centered on the nominal IF
frequency of 307.2 kHz. The bandwidth of the analog filter is about 160 kHz.
Using crystal frequencies which gives an IF frequency within 300 to 320 kHz means that the analog filter
can be used (assuming low frequency deviations and low data rates).
Large offsets, however, from the nominal IF frequency will give an un-symmetric filtering (variation in
group delay and different attenuation) of the signal, resulting in decreased sensitivity and selectivity. See
AN022 CC1020 Crystal Frequency Selection (SWRA070) for more details.
For IF frequencies other than 300 to 320 kHz and for high frequency deviation and high data rates
(typically ≥ 76.8 kBaud) the analog filter must be bypassed by setting FILTER_BYPASS = 1 in the FILTER
register. In this case the blocking performance at 1 MHz and larger offsets will be degraded.
The IF frequency is always the ADC clock frequency divided by 4. The ADC clock frequency should
therefore be as close to 1.2288 MHz as possible.
5.9.2
Receiver Channel Filter Bandwidth
In order to meet different channel spacing requirements, the receiver channel filter bandwidth is
programmable. It can be programmed from 9.6 to 307.2 kHz.
The minimum receiver channel filter bandwidth depends on baud rate, frequency separation and crystal
tolerance.
The signal bandwidth must be smaller than the available receiver channel filter bandwidth. The signal
bandwidth (SBW) can be approximated by (Carson’s rule) shown in Equation 13.
SBW = 2 × fm + 2 × frequency deviation
(13)
Where:
fm is the modulating signal.

In Manchester mode the maximum modulating signal occurs when transmitting a continuous sequence of
0s (or 1s). In NRZ mode the maximum modulating signal occurs when transmitting a 0-1-0 sequence. In
both Manchester and NRZ mode 2 × fm is then equal to the programmed baud rate. The equation for
SBW can then be rewritten as shown in Equation 14.
SBW = Baud rate + frequency separation
(14)
Furthermore, the frequency offset of the transmitter and receiver must also be considered. Assuming
equal frequency error in the transmitter and receiver (same type of crystal) the total frequency error is
shown in Equation 15.
f_error = ±2 × XTAL_ppm × f_RF
(15)
Where:
XTAL_ppm is the total accuracy of the crystal including initial tolerance, temperature drift, loading and
ageing.
F_RF is the RF operating frequency.
The minimum receiver channel filter bandwidth (ChBW) can then be estimated as shown in Equation 16.
ChBW > SBW + 2 × f_error
(16)
The DEC_DIV[4:0] bits in the FILTER register control the receiver channel filter bandwidth. The 6 dB
bandwidth is given by Equation 17.
307.2
ChBW =
(DEC _ DIV + 1) [kHz ]
(17)
Where:
the IF frequency is set to 307.2 kHz.
In SmartRF Studio the user specifies the channel spacing and the channel filter bandwidth is set
according to Table 5-5.
For narrowband systems with channel spacings of 12.5 and 25 kHz the channel filter bandwidth is 12.288
kHz and 19.2 kHz respectively to comply with ARIB STD-T67 and EN 300 220.
For wideband systems (channel spacing of 50 kHz and above) it is possible to use different channel filter
bandwidths than given in Table 5-5.
There is a trade-off between selectivity as well as sensitivity and accepted frequency tolerance. In
applications where larger frequency drift is expected, the filter bandwidth can be increased, but with
reduced adjacent channel rejection (ACR) and sensitivity.

Demodulator, Bit Synchronizer, and Data Decision
The block diagram for the demodulator, data slicer and bit synchronizer is shown in Figure 5-10. The builtin bit synchronizer synchronizes the internal clock to the incoming data and performs data decoding. The
data decision is done using over-sampling and digital filtering of the incoming signal. This improves the
reliability of the data transmission. Using the synchronous modes simplifies the data-decoding task
substantially.
The recommended preamble is a ‘010101…’ bit pattern. The same bit pattern should also be used in
Manchester mode, giving a ‘011001100110…‘chip’ pattern. This is necessary for the bit synchronizer to
synchronize to the coding correctly.
The data slicer does the bit decision. Ideally the two received FSK frequencies are placed symmetrically
around the IF frequency. However, if there is some frequency error between the transmitter and the
receiver, the bit decision level should be adjusted accordingly. In CC1020, this is done automatically by
measuring the two frequencies and use the average value as the decision level.
The digital data slicer in CC1020 uses an average value of the minimum and maximum frequency
deviation detected as the comparison level. The RXDEV_X[1:0] and RXDEV_M[3:0] in the
AFC_CONTROL register are used to set the expected deviation of the incoming signal. Once a shift in the
received frequency larger than the expected deviation is detected, a bit transition is recorded and the
average value to be used by the data slicer is calculated.
The minimum number of transitions required to calculate a slicing level is 3. That is, a 010 bit pattern
(NRZ).
The actual number of bits used for the averaging can be increased for better data decision accuracy. This
is controlled by the SETTLING[1:0] bits in the AFC_CONTROL register. If RX data is present in the
channel when the RX chain is turned on, then the data slicing estimate will usually give correct results
after 3 bit transitions. The data slicing accuracy will increase after this, depending on the SETTLING[1:0]
bits. If the start of transmission occurs after the RX chain has turned on, the minimum number of bit
transitions (or preamble bits) before correct data slicing will depend on the SETTLING[1:0] bits.
The automatic data slicer average value function can be disabled by setting SETTLING[1:0] = 00. In this
case a symmetrical signal around the IF frequency is assumed.
The internally calculated average FSK frequency value gives a measure for the frequency offset of the
receiver compared to the transmitter. This information can also be used for an automatic frequency control
(AFC) as described in Section 5.9.13.

Receiver Sensitivity Versus Data Rate and Frequency Separation
The receiver sensitivity depends on the channel filter bandwidth, data rate, data format, FSK frequency
separation and the RF frequency. Typical figures for the receiver sensitivity (BER = 10–3) are shown in
Table 5-6 and Table 5-7 for FSK. For best performance, the frequency deviation should be at least half
the baud rate in FSK mode.
The sensitivity is measured using the matching network shown in the application circuit in Figure 6-1,
which includes an external T/R switch.
Refer to AN029 CC1020/1021 Automatic Frequency Control (AFC) (SWRA063) for plots of sensitivity
versus frequency offset.

RSSI
CC1020 has a built-in RSSI (Received Signal Strength Indicator) giving a digital value that can be read
form the RSSI register. The RSSI reading must be offset and adjusted for VGA gain setting
(VGA_SETTING[4:0] in the VGA3 register).
The digital RSSI value is ranging from 0 to 106 (7 bits).
The RSSI reading is a logarithmic measure of the average voltage amplitude after the digital filter in the
digital part of the IF chain as shown in Equation 18.
RSSI = 4 log2(signal amplitude)
(18)
The relative power is then given by RSSI × 1.5 dB in a logarithmic scale.
The number of samples used to calculate the average signal amplitude is controlled by AGC_AVG[1:0] in
the VGA2 register. The RSSI update rate is given by Equation 19.
f filter _ clock
f RSSI = AGC _ AVG[1:0] + 1
2
(19)
Where:
AGC_AVG[1:0] is set in the VGA2 register.
ffilter_clock = 2 × ChBW.
Maximum VGA gain is programmed by the VGA_SETTING[4:0] bits. The VGA gain is programmed in
approximately 3 dB/LSB. The RSSI measurement can be referred to the power (absolute value) at the
RF_IN pin by using the Equation 20.
P = 1.5 × RSSI – 3 × VGA_SETTING – RSSI_Offset [dBm]
(20)
The RSSI_Offset depends on the channel filter bandwidth used due to different VGA settings. Figure 5-11
and Figure 5-12 show typical plots of RSSI reading as a function of input power for different channel
spacings. See Section 5.9.5 for a list of channel filter bandwidths corresponding to the various channel
spacings. Refer to AN030 CC1020/1021 Received Signal Strength Indicator (SWRA062) for further
details.
The method shown in Equation 21 can be used to calculate the power (P) in dBm from the RSSI readout
values in Figure 5-11 and Figure 5-12.
P = 1.5 × [RSSI – RSSI_ref] + P_ref
(21)
Where:
P is the output power in dBm for the current RSSI readout value.
RSSI_ref is the RSSI readout value taken from Figure 5-11 or Figure 5-12 for an input power level of
P_ref.
NOTE
The RSSI reading in decimal value changes for different channel filter bandwidths.
The analog filter has a finite dynamic range and is the reason why the RSSI reading is saturated at lower
channel spacings. Higher channel spacing is typically used for high frequency deviation and data rates.
The analog filter bandwidth is about 160 kHz and is bypassed for high frequency deviation and data rates
and is the reason why the RSSI reading is not saturated for 200 kHz and 500 kHz channel spacing in
Figure 5-11 and Figure 5-12.

Image Rejection Calibration
For perfect image rejection, the phase and gain of the “I” and “Q” parts of the analog RX chain must be
perfectly matched. To improve the image rejection, the “I” and “Q” phase and gain difference can be finetuned by adjusting the PHASE_COMP and GAIN_COMP registers. This allows compensation for process
variations and other nonidealities. The calibration is done by injecting a signal at the image frequency, and
adjusting the phase and gain difference for minimum RSSI value.
During image rejection calibration, an unmodulated carrier should be applied at the image frequency
(614.4 kHz below the desired channel). No signal should be present in the desired channel. The signal
level should be 50 to 60 dB above the sensitivity in the desired channel, but the optimum level will vary
from application to application. Too large input level gives poor results due to limited linearity in the analog
IF chain, while too low input level gives poor results due to the receiver noise floor.
For best RSSI accuracy, use AGC_AVG[1:0] = 11 during image rejection calibration (RSSI value is
averaged over 16 filter output samples). The RSSI register update rate then equals the receiver channel
bandwidth (set in FILTER register) divided by 8, as the filter output rate is twice the receiver channel
bandwidth. This gives the minimum waiting time between RSSI register reads (0.5 ms is used below). TI
recommends the following image calibration procedure:
1. Define 3 variables: XP = 0, XG = 0 and DX = 64. Go to step 3.
2. Set DX = DX/2.
3. Write XG to GAIN_COMP register.
4. If XP + 2 × DX < 127, then
write XP + 2 × DX to PHASE_COMP register
else
write 127 to PHASE_COMP register.
5. Wait at least 3 ms. Measure signal strength Y4 as filtered average of 8 reads from RSSI register with
0.5 ms of delay between each RSSI read.
6. Write XP+DX to PHASE_COMP register.
7. Wait at least 3 ms. Measure signal strength Y3 as filtered average of 8 reads from RSSI register with
0.5 ms of delay between each RSSI read.
8. Write XP to PHASE_COMP register.

For high frequency deviation and high data rates (typically ≥ 76.8 kBaud) the analog filter succeeding the
mixer must be bypassed by setting FILTER_BYPASS = 1 in the FILTER register. In this case the image
rejection is degraded.
The image rejection is reduced for low supply voltages (typically < 2.5 V) when operating in the 402 to 470
MHz frequency range.

Linear IF Chain and AGC Settings
CC1020 is based on a linear IF chain where the signal amplification is done in an analog VGA (Variable
Gain Amplifier). The gain is controlled by the digital part of the IF chain after the ADC (Analog to Digital
Converter). The AGC (Automatic Gain Control) loop ensures that the ADC operates inside its dynamic
range by using an analog/digital feedback loop.
The maximum VGA gain is programmed by the VGA_SETTING[4:0] in the VGA3 register. The VGA gain
is programmed in approximately 3 dB/LSB. The VGA gain should be set so that the amplified thermal
noise from the front-end balance the quantization noise from the ADC. Therefore the optimum maximum
VGA gain setting will depend on the channel filter bandwidth.
A digital RSSI is used to measure the signal strength after the ADC. The CS_LEVEL[4:0] in the VGA4
register is used to set the nominal operating point of the gain control (and also the carrier sense level).
Further explanation can be found in Figure 5-15.
The VGA gain will be changed according to a threshold set by the VGA_DOWN[2:0] in the VGA3 register
and the VGA_UP[2:0] in the VGA4 register. Together, these two values specify the signal strength limits
used by the AGC to adjust the VGA gain.
To avoid unnecessary tripping of the VGA, an extra hysteresis and filtering of the RSSI samples can be
added. The AGC_HYSTERESIS bit in the VGA2 register enables this.
The time dynamics of the loop can be altered by the VGA_BLANKING bit in the ANALOG register, and
VGA_FREEZE[1:0] and VGA_WAIT[2:0] bits in the VGA1 register.
When VGA_BLANKING is activated, the VGA recovery time from DC offset spikes after a gain step is
reduced.

SWRS046H – NOVEMBER 2006 – REVISED MARCH 2015
VGA_FREEZE determines the time to hold bit synchronization, VGA and RSSI levels after one of these
events occur:
• RX power-up
• The PLL has been out of lock
• Frequency register setting is switched between A and B
This feature is useful to avoid AGC operation during start-up transients and to ensure minimum dwell time
using frequency hopping. This means that bit synchronization can be maintained from hop to hop.
VGA_WAIT determines the time to hold the present bit synchronization and RSSI levels after changing
VGA gain. This feature is useful to avoid AGC operation during the settling of transients after a VGA gain
change. Some transients are expected due to DC offsets in the VGA.
At the sensitivity limit, the VGA gain is set by VGA_SETTING. In order to optimize selectivity, this gain
should not be set higher than necessary. The SmartRF Studio software gives the settings for VGA1 to
VGA4 registers. For reference, the following method can be used to find the AGC settings:
1. Disable AGC and use maximum LNA2 gain by writing BFh to the VGA2 register. Set minimum VGA
gain by writing to the VGA3 register with VGA_SETTING = 0.
2. Apply no RF input signal, and measure ADC noise floor by reading the RSSI register.
3. Apply no RF input signal, and write VGA3 register with increasing VGA_SETTING value until the RSSI
register value is approximately 4 larger than the value read in step 2. This places the front-end noise
floor around 6 dB above the ADC noise floor.
4. Apply an RF signal with strength equal the desired carrier sense threshold. The RF signal should
preferably be modulated with correct Baud rate and deviation. Read the RSSI register value, subtract
8, and write to CS_LEVEL in the VGA4 register. Vary the RF signal level slightly and check that carrier
sense indication (bit 3 in STATUS register) switches at the desired input level.
5. If desired, adjust the VGA_UP and VGA_DOWN settings according to the explanation in Figure 5-15.
6. Enable AGC and select LNA2 gain change level. Write 55h to VGA2 register if the resulting
VGA_SETTING>10. Otherwise, write 45h to VGA2. Modify AGC_AVG in the above VGA2 value if
faster carrier sense and AGC settling is desired.
RSSI Level
Note that the AGC works with "raw" filter output signal
strength, while the RSSI readout value is compensated for
VGA gain changes by the AGC.
The AGC keeps the signal strength in this range. Minimize
VGA_DOWN for best selectivity, but leave some margin to
avoid frequent VGA gain changes during reception.
The AGC keeps the signal strength above carrier sense level
+ VGA_UP. Minimize VGA_UP for best selectivity, but
increase if first VGA gain reduction occurs too close to the
noise floor.
(signal strength, 1.5dB/step)
AGC decreases gain if above
this level (unless at minimum).
VGA_DOWN+3
AGC increases gain if below this
level (unless at maximum).
VGA_UP
Carrier sense is turned on here.
To set CS_LEVEL, subtract 8 from RSSI readout with RF
input signal at desired carrier sense level.
CS_LEVEL+8
Zero level depends on front-end settings and VGA_SETTING
value.

AGC Settling
After turning on the RX chain, the following occurs:
A. The AGC waits 16 to 128 ADC_CLK (1.2288 MHz) periods, depending on the VGA_FREEZE setting in
the VGA1 register, for settling in the analog parts.
B. The AGC waits 16 to 48 FILTER_CLK periods, depending on the VGA_WAIT setting in the VGA1
register, for settling in the analog parts and the digital channel filter.
C. The AGC calculates the RSSI value as the average magnitude over the next 2 to 16 FILTER_CLK
periods, depending on the AGC_AVG setting in the VGA2 register.
D. If the RSSI value is higher than CS_LEVEL+8, then the carrier sense indicator is set (if CS_SET = 0).
If the RSSI value is too high according to the CS_LEVEL, VGA_UP and VGA_DOWN settings, and the
VGA gain is not already at minimum, then the VGA gain is reduced and the AGC continues from B).
E. If the RSSI value is too low according to the CS_LEVEL and VGA_UP settings, and the VGA gain is
not already at maximum (given by VGA_SETTING), then the VGA gain is increased and the AGC
continues from B).
Two to three VGA gain changes should be expected before the AGC has settled. Increasing AGC_AVG
increases the settling time, but may be worthwhile if there is the time in the protocol, and for reducing false
wake-up events when setting the carrier sense close to the noise floor.
The AGC settling time depends on the FILTER_CLK (= 2 × ChBW). Thus, there is a trade off between
AGC settling time and receiver sensitivity because the AGC settling time can be reduced for data rates
lower than 76.8 kBaud by using a wider receiver channel filter bandwidth (that is, larger ChBW).
5.9.10 Preamble Length and Sync Word
The rules for choosing a good sync word are as follows:
1. The sync word should be significantly different from the preamble.
2. A large number of transitions is good for the bit synchronization or clock recovery. Equal bits reduce
the number of transitions. The recommended sync word has at most 3 equal bits in a row.
3. Autocorrelation. The sync word should not repeat itself, as this will increase the likelihood for errors.
4. In general the first bit of sync should be opposite of last bit in preamble, to achieve one more transition.
The recommended sync words for CC1020 are 2 bytes (0xD391), 3 bytes (0xD391DA) or 4 bytes
(0xD391DA26) and are selected as the best compromise of the above criteria.
Using the register settings provided by the SmartRFM Studio software, packet error rates (PER) less than
0.5% can be achieved when using 24 bits of preamble and a 16 bit sync word (0xD391). Using a
preamble longer than 24 bits will improve the PER.
When performing the PER measurements described above the packet format consisted of 10 bytes of
random data, 2 bytes CRC and 1 dummy byte in addition to the sync word and preamble at the start of
each package.
For the test, 1000 packets were sent 10 times. The transmitter was put in power down between each
packet. Any bit error in the packet, either in the sync word, in the data or in the CRC caused the packet to
be counted as a failed packet.

5.9.11 Carrier Sense
The carrier sense signal is based on the RSSI value and a programmable threshold. The carrier sense
function can be used to simplify the implementation of a CSMA (Carrier Sense Multiple Access) medium
access protocol.
Carrier sense threshold level is programmed by CS_LEVEL[4:0] in the VGA4 register and
VGA_SETTING[4:0] in the VGA3 register.
VGA_SETTING[4:0] sets the maximum gain in the VGA. This value must be set so that the ADC works
with optimum dynamic range for a certain channel filter bandwidth. The detected signal strength (after the
ADC) will therefore depend on this setting.
CS_LEVEL[4:0] sets the threshold for this specific VGA_SETTING[4:0] value. If the VGA_SETTING[4:0] is
changed, the CS_LEVEL[4:0] must be changed accordingly to maintain the same absolute carrier sense
threshold. See Figure 5-15 for an explanation of the relationship between RSSI, AGC and carrier sense
settings.
The carrier sense signal can be read as the CARRIER_SENSE bit in the STATUS register.
The carrier sense signal can also be made available at the LOCK pin by setting LOCK_SELECT[3:0] =
0100 in the LOCK register.
5.9.12 Automatic Power-up Sequencing
CC1020 has a built-in automatic power-up sequencing state machine. By setting the CC1020 into this
mode, the receiver can be powered-up automatically by a wake-up signal and will then check for a carrier
signal (carrier sense). If carrier sense is not detected, it returns to power-down mode. A flow chart for
automatic power-up sequencing is shown in Figure 5-16.
The automatic power-up sequencing mode is selected when PD_MODE[1:0] = 11 in the MAIN register.
When the automatic power-up sequencing mode is selected, the functionality of the MAIN register is
changed and used to control the sequencing.
By setting SEQ_PD = 1 in the MAIN register, CC1020 is set in power down mode. If SEQ_PSEL = 1 in the
SEQUENCING register the automatic power-up sequence is initiated by a negative transition on the PSEL
pin.
If SEQ_PSEL = 0 in the SEQUENCING register, then the automatic power-up sequence is initiated by a
negative transition on the DIO pin (as long as SEP_DI_DO = 1 in the INTERFACE register).
Sequence timing is controlled through RX_WAIT[2:0] AND CS_WAIT[3:0] in the SEQUENCING register.
VCO and PLL calibration can also be done automatically as a part of the sequence. This is controlled
through SEQ_CAL[1:0] in the MAIN register. Calibration can be done every time, every 16th sequence,
every 256th sequence, or never. See Section 5.22.1 description for details. A description of when to do,
and how the VCO and PLL self-calibration is done, is given in Section 5.12.2.

5.9.13 Automatic Frequency Control
CC1020 has a built-in feature called AFC (Automatic Frequency Control) that can be used to compensate
for frequency drift.
The average frequency offset of the received signal (from the nominal IF frequency) can be read in the
AFC register. The signed (2’s-complement) 8-bit value AFC[7:0] can be used to compensate for frequency
offset between transmitter and receiver.
The frequency offset is given by Equation 22.
AFC ´ Baud rate
DF =
16
(22)
The receiver can be calibrated against the transmitter by changing the operating frequency according to
the measured offset. The new frequency must be calculated and written to the FREQ register by the
microcontroller. The AFC can be used for an FSK/GFSK signal, but not for OOK. Application Note AN029
CC1020/1021 Automatic Frequency Control (AFC) (SWRA063) provides the procedure and equations
necessary to implement AFC.

5.9.14 Digital FM
It is possible to read back the instantaneous IF from the FM demodulator as a frequency offset from the
nominal IF frequency. This digital value can be used to perform a pseudo analog FM demodulation.
The frequency offset can be read from the GAUSS_FILTER register and is a signed 8-bit value coded as
2-complement.
The instantaneous deviation is given by Equation 23.
GAUSS _ FILTER ´ Baud rate
F=
8
(23)
The digital value should be read from the register and sent to a DAC and filtered in order to get an analog
audio signal. The internal register value is updated at the MODEM_CLK rate. MODEM_CLK is available at
the LOCK pin when LOCK_SELECT[3:0] = 1101 in the LOCK register, and can be used to synchronize
the reading.
For audio (300 to 4000 Hz) the sampling rate should be higher than or equal to 8 kHz (Nyquist) and is
determined by the MODEM_CLK. The MODEM_CLK, which is the sampling rate, equals 8 times the baud
rate. That is, the minimum baud rate, which can be programmed, is 1 kBaud. However, the incoming data
will be filtered in the digital domain and the 3-dB cut-off frequency is 0.6 times the programmed Baud rate.
Thus, for audio the minimum programmed Baud rate should be approximately 7.2 kBaud.
The GAUSS_FILTER resolution decreases with increasing baud rate. A accumulate and dump filter can
be implemented in the µC to improve the resolution. Note that each GAUSS_FILTER reading should be
synchronized to the MODEM_CLK. As an example, accumulating 4 readings and dividing the total by 4
will improve the resolution by 2 bits.
Furthermore, to fully utilize the GAUSS_FILTER dynamic range the frequency deviation must be 16 times
the programmed baud rate.
5.10 Transmitter
5.10.1 FSK Modulation Formats
The data modulator can modulate FSK, which is a two level FSK (Frequency Shift Keying), or GFSK,
which is a Gaussian filtered FSK with BT = 0.5. The purpose of the GFSK is to make a more bandwidth
efficient system as shown in Figure 5-17. The modulation and the Gaussian filtering are done internally in
the chip. The TX_SHAPING bit in the DEVIATION register enables the GFSK. GFSK is recommended for
narrowband operation.
Figure 5-18 and Figure 5-19 show typical eye diagrams for 434 MHz and 868 MHz operation, respectively.

5.10.2 Output Power Programming
The RF output power from the device is programmable by the 8-bit PA_POWER register. Figure 5-20 and
Figure 5-21 show the output power and total current consumption as a function of the PA_POWER
register setting. It is more efficient in terms of current consumption to use either the lower or upper 4-bits
in the register to control the power, as shown in Figure 5-20 and Figure 5-21. However, the output power
can be controlled in finer steps using all the available bits in the PA_POWER register.

5.10.3 TX Data Latency
The transmitter will add a delay due to the synchronization of the data with DCLK and further clocking into
the modulator. The user should therefore add a delay equivalent to at least 2 bits after the data payload
has been transmitted before switching off the PA (that is, before stopping the transmission).

5.10.4 Reducing Spurious Emission and Modulation Bandwidth
Modulation bandwidth and spurious emission are normally measured with the PA continuously on and a
repeated test sequence.
In cases where the modulation bandwidth and spurious emission are measured with the CC1020
switching from power down mode to TX mode, a PA ramping sequence could be used to minimize
modulation bandwidth and spurious emission.
PA ramping should then be used both when switching the PA on and off. A linear PA ramping sequence
can be used where register PA_POWER is changed from 00h to 0Fh and then from 50h to the register
setting that gives the desired output power (for example, F0h for +10 dBm output power at 433 MHz
operation). The longer the time per PA ramping step the better, but setting the total PA ramping time equal
to 2 bit periods is a good compromise between performance and PA ramping time.
5.11 Input and Output Matching and Filtering
When designing the impedance matching network for the CC1020 the circuit must be matched correctly at
the harmonic frequencies as well as at the fundamental tone. A recommended matching network is shown
in Figure 5-22. Component values for various frequencies are given in Table 5-8. Component values for
other frequencies can be found using the SmartRF Studio software.
As can be seen from Figure 5-22 and Table 5-8, the 433 MHz network utilizes a T-type filter, while the
868/915 MHz network has a π-type filter topology.
It is important to remember that the physical layout and the components used contribute significantly to
the reflection coefficient, especially at the higher harmonics. For this reason, the frequency response of
the matching network should be measured and compared to the response of the TI reference design.
Refer to Figure 5-24 and Table 5-9 as well as Figure 5-25 and Table 5-10.
The use of an external T/R switch reduces current consumption in TX for high output power levels and
improves the sensitivity in RX. A recommended application circuit is available from the TI web site
(CC1020EMX). The external T/R switch can be omitted in certain applications, but performance will then
be degraded.
The match can also be tuned by a shunt capacitor array at the PA output (RF_OUT). The capacitance can
be set in 0.4-pF steps and used either in RX mode or TX mode. The RX_MATCH[3:0] and
TX_MATCH[3:0] bits in the MATCH register control the capacitor array.

(24)
The VCO frequency is divided by 2 and by 4 to generate frequencies in the two bands, respectively.
The VCO sensitivity (sometimes referred to as VCO gain) varies over frequency and operating conditions.
Typically the VCO sensitivity varies between 12 and 36 MHz/V. For calculations the geometrical mean at
21 MHz/V can be used. The PLL calibration (explained below) measures the actual VCO sensitivity and
adjusts the charge pump current accordingly to achieve correct PLL loop gain and bandwidth (higher
charge pump current when VCO sensitivity is lower).
Equation 25 through Equation 29 can be used for calculating PLL loop filter component values, see
Figure 6-1, for a desired PLL loop bandwidth, BW.

After calibration the PLL bandwidth is set by the PLL_BW register in combination with the external loop
filter components calculated above. The PLL_BW can be found from Equation 31.
æ f
ö
PLL _ BW = 174 + 16 log2 ç ref ÷
è 7.126 ø
(31)
Where:
fref is the reference frequency (in MHz).
The PLL loop filter bandwidth increases with increasing PLL_BW setting. Note that in SmartRF Studio
PLL_BW is fixed to 9E hex when the channel spacing is set up for 12.5 kHz, optimized selectivity.
After calibration the applied charge pump current (CHP_CURRENT[3:0]) can be read in the STATUS1
register. The charge pump current is approximately given by Equation 32.
I CHP = 16 ´ 2CHP _ CURRENT / 4 [mA ]
(32)
The combined charge pump and phase detector gain (in A/rad) is given by the charge pump current
divided by 2π.
The PLL bandwidth will limit the maximum modulation frequency and hence, data rate.
5.12.2 VCO and PLL Self-Calibration
To compensate for supply voltage, temperature and process variations, the VCO and PLL must be
calibrated. The calibration is performed automatically and sets the maximum VCO tuning range and
optimum charge pump current for PLL stability. After setting up the device at the operating frequency, the
self-calibration can be initiated by setting the CAL_START bit in the CALIBRATE register. The calibration
result is stored internally in the chip, and is valid as long as power is not turned off. If large supply voltage
drops (typically more than 0.25 V) or temperature variations (typically more than 40°C) occur after
calibration, a new calibration should be performed.
The nominal VCO control voltage is set by the CAL_ITERATE[2:0] bits in the CALIBRATE register.
The CAL_COMPLETE bit in the STATUS register indicates that calibration has finished. The calibration
wait time (CAL_WAIT) is programmable and is inverse proportional to the internal PLL reference
frequency. The highest possible reference frequency should be used to get the minimum calibration time.
It is recommended to use CAL_WAIT[1:0] = 11 in order to get the most accurate loop bandwidth.

The CAL_COMPLETE bit can also be monitored at the LOCK pin, configured by LOCK_SELECT[3:0] =

To check that the PLL is in lock the user should monitor the LOCK_CONTINUOUS bit in the STATUS
register. The LOCK_CONTINUOUS bit can also be monitored at the LOCK pin, configured by
LOCK_SELECT[3:0] = 0010.

There are separate calibration values for the two frequency registers. However, dual calibration is possible
if all of the below conditions apply:
• The two frequencies A and B differ by less than 1 MHz.
• Reference frequencies are equal (REF_DIV_A[2:0] = REF_DIV_B[2:0] in the CLOCK_A/CLOCK_B
registers).
• VCO currents are equal (VCO_CURRENT_A[3:0] = VCO_CURRENT_B[3:0] in the VCO register).
The CAL_DUAL bit in the CALIBRATE register controls dual or separate calibration.
The single calibration algorithm (CAL_DUAL=0) using separate calibration for RX and TX frequency is
illustrated in Figure 5-26. The same algorithm is applicable for dual calibration if CAL_DUAL=1. Refer to
Application Note AN023 CC1020 MCU Interfacing (SWRA069), which includes example source code for
single calibration.
TI recommends that single calibration be used for more robust operation.
There is a small, but finite, possibility that the PLL self-calibration will fail. The calibration routine in the
source code should include a loop so that the PLL is re-calibrated until PLL lock is achieved if the PLL
does not lock the first time. Refer to CC1020 Errata Note 004, available in the CC1020 product folder.

5.13 VCO and LNA Current Control
The VCO current is programmable and should be set according to operating frequency, RX/TX mode and
output power. Recommended settings for the VCO_CURRENT bits in the VCO register are shown in
Table 5-16 and are also given by SmartRF Studio. The VCO current for frequency FREQ_A and FREQ_B
can be programmed independently.
The bias currents for the LNA, mixer and the LO and PA buffers are also programmable. The FRONTEND
and the BUFF_CURRENT registers control these currents.
5.14 Power Management
CC1020 offers great flexibility for power management in order to meet strict power consumption
requirements in battery-operated applications. Power down mode is controlled through the MAIN register.
There are separate bits to control the RX part, the TX part, the frequency synthesizer and the crystal
oscillator in the MAIN register. This individual control can be used to optimize for lowest possible current
consumption in each application. Figure 5-27 shows a typical power-on and initializing sequence for
minimum power consumption.
Figure 5-28 shows a typical sequence for activating RX and TX mode from power down mode for
minimum power consumption.
NOTE
PSEL should be tri-stated or set to a high level during power down mode in order to prevent
a trickle current from flowing in the internal pullup resistor.
Application Note AN023 CC1020 MCU Interfacing (SWRA069) includes example source code.
TI recommends resetting the CC1020 (by clearing the RESET_N bit in the MAIN register) when the chip is
powered up initially. All registers that need to be configured should then be programmed (those which
differ from their default values). Registers can be programmed freely in any order. The CC1020 should
then be calibrated in both RX and TX mode. After this is completed, the CC1020 is ready for use. See the
detailed procedure flowcharts in Figure 5-26 through Figure 5-28.
With reference to Application Note AN023 CC1020 MCU Interfacing (SWRA069), TI recommends the
following sequence:
After power up:
1. ResetCC1020
2. Initialize
3. WakeUpCC1020ToRX
4. Calibrate
5. WakeUpCC1020ToTX
6. Calibrate
After calibration is completed, enter TX mode (SetupCC1020TX), RX mode (SetupCC1020RX) or power
down mode (SetupCC1020PD).

5.15 On-Off Keying (OOK)
The data modulator can also provide OOK (On-Off Keying) modulation. OOK is an ASK (Amplitude Shift
Keying) modulation using 100% modulation depth. OOK modulation is enabled in RX and in TX by setting
TXDEV_M[3:0] = 0000 in the DEVIATION register. An OOK eye diagram is shown in Figure 5-29.
The data demodulator can also perform OOK demodulation. The demodulation is done by comparing the
signal level with the “carrier sense” level (programmed as CS_LEVEL in the VGA4 register). The signal is
then decimated and filtered in the data filter. Data decision and bit synchronization are as for FSK
reception.

In this mode, AGC_AVG in the VGA2 register must be set to 3. The channel bandwidth must be 4 times
the Baud rate for data rates up to 9.6 kBaud. For the highest data rates the channel bandwidth must be 2
times the Baud rate (see Table 5-14). Manchester coding must always be used for OOK.
NOTE
The automatic frequency control (AFC) cannot be used when receiving OOK, as it requires a
frequency shift.
The AGC has a certain time-constant determined by FILTER_CLK, which depends on the IF filter
bandwidth. There is a lower limit on FILTER_CLK and hence the AGC time constant. For very low data
rates the minimum time constant is too fast and the AGC will increase the gain when a “0” is received and
decrease the gain when a “1” is received. For this reason the minimum data rate in OOK is 2.4 kBaud.
Typical figures for the receiver sensitivity (BER = 10–3) are shown in Table 5-14 for OOK.

5.16 Crystal Oscillator
The recommended crystal frequency is 14.7456 MHz, but any crystal frequency in the range 4 to 20 MHz
can be used. Using a crystal frequency different from 14.7456 MHz might in some applications give
degraded performance. Refer to AN022 Crystal Frequency Selection (SWRA070) for more details on the
use of other crystal frequencies than 14.7456 MHz. The crystal frequency is used as reference for the
data rate (as well as other internal functions) and in the 4 to 20 MHz range the frequencies 4.9152,
7.3728, 9.8304, 12.2880, 14.7456, 17.2032, 19.6608 MHz will give accurate data rates (as shown in
Table 5-4) and an IF frequency of 307.2 kHz. The crystal frequency will influence the programming of the
CLOCK_A, CLOCK_B and MODEM registers.
An external clock signal or the internal crystal oscillator can be used as main frequency reference. An
external clock signal should be connected to XOSC_Q1, while XOSC_Q2 should be left open. The
XOSC_BYPASS bit in the INTERFACE register should be set to ‘1’ when an external digital rail-to-rail
clock signal is used. No DC block should be used then. A sine with smaller amplitude can also be used. A
DC blocking capacitor must then be used (10 nF) and the XOSC_BYPASS bit in the INTERFACE register
should be set to ‘0’. For input signal amplitude, see Section 4.8.
Using the internal crystal oscillator, the crystal must be connected between the XOSC_Q1 and XOSC_Q2
pins. The oscillator is designed for parallel mode operation of the crystal. In addition, loading capacitors
(C4 and C5) for the crystal are required. The loading capacitor values depend on the total load
capacitance, CL, specified for the crystal. The total load capacitance seen between the crystal terminals
should equal CL for the crystal to oscillate at the specified frequency.
1
CL =
+ Cparasitic
1
1
+
C4 C 5
(33)
The parasitic capacitance is constituted by pin input capacitance and PCB stray capacitance. Total
parasitic capacitance is typically 8 pF. A trimming capacitor may be placed across C5 for initial tuning if
necessary.
The crystal oscillator circuit is shown in Figure 5-30. Typical component values for different values of CL
are given in Table 5-15.
The crystal oscillator is amplitude regulated. This means that a high current is required to initiate the
oscillations. When the amplitude builds up, the current is reduced to what is necessary to maintain
approximately 600 mVpp amplitude. This ensures a fast start-up, keeps the drive level to a minimum and
makes the oscillator insensitive to ESR variations. As long as the recommended load capacitance values
are used, the ESR is not critical.
The initial tolerance, temperature drift, aging and load pulling should be carefully specified in order to meet
the required frequency accuracy in a certain application. By specifying the total expected frequency
accuracy in SmartRF Studio together with data rate and frequency separation, the software will estimate
the total bandwidth and compare to the available receiver channel filter bandwidth. The software will report
any contradictions and a more accurate crystal will be recommended if required.

5.17 Built-in Test Pattern Generator
The CC1020 has a built-in test pattern generator that generates a PN9 pseudo random sequence. The
PN9_ENABLE bit in the MODEM register enables the PN9 generator. A transition on the DIO pin is
required after enabling the PN9 pseudo random sequence.
The PN9 pseudo random sequence is defined by the polynomial x9 + x5 + 1.
The PN9 sequence is ‘XOR’ed with the DIO signal in both TX and RX mode as shown in Figure 5-31.
Hence, by transmitting only zeros (DIO = 0), the BER (Bit Error Rate) can be tested by counting the
number of received ones. Note that the 9 first received bits should be discarded in this case. Also note
that one bit error will generate 3 received ones.
Transmitting only ones (DIO = 1), the BER can be tested by counting the number of received zeroes.
The PN9 generator can also be used for transmission of ‘real-life’ data when measuring narrowband ACP
(Adjacent Channel Power), modulation bandwidth or occupied bandwidth.

microcontroller when the PLL is locked.

PD_MODE[1:0] in the MAIN register should be set to 01. If DCLK_LOCK in the INTERFACE register is set
to 1 the DCLK signal is always logic high if the PLL is not in lock. When the PLL locks to the desired
frequency the DCLK signal changes to logic 0. When this interrupt has been detected write
PD_MODE[1:0] = 00. This will enable the DCLK signal.
This function can be used to wait for the PLL to be locked before the PA is ramped up in transmit mode. In
receive mode, it can be used to wait until the PLL is locked before searching for preamble.
5.18.2 Interrupt Upon Received Signal Carrier Sense
In synchronous mode the DCLK pin on CC1020 can also be used to give an interrupt signal to the
microcontroller when the RSSI level exceeds a certain threshold (carrier sense threshold). This function
can be used to wake or interrupt the microcontroller when a strong signal is received.
Gating the DCLK signal with the carrier sense signal makes the interrupt signal.
This function should only be used in receive mode and is enabled by setting DCLK_CS = 1 in the
INTERFACE register.
The DCLK signal is always logic high unless carrier sense is indicated. When carrier sense is indicated
the DCLK starts running. When gating the DCLK signal with the carrier sense signal at least 2 dummy bits
should be added after the data payload in TX mode. The reason being that the carrier sense signal is
generated earlier in the receive chain (that is, before the demodulator), causing it to be updated 2 bits
before the corresponding data is available on the DIO pin.
In transmit mode DCLK_CS must be set to 0. Refer to CC1020 Errata Note 002, available in the CC1020
product folder.
5.19 PA_EN and LNA_EN Digital Output Pins
5.19.1 Interfacing an External LNA or PA
CC1020 has two digital output pins, PA_EN and LNA_EN, which can be used to control an external LNA
or PA. The functionality of these pins are controlled through the INTERFACE register. The outputs can
also be used as general digital output control signals.
EXT_PA_POL and EXT_LNA_POL control the active polarity of the signals.
EXT_PA and EXT_LNA control the function of the pins. If EXT_PA = 1, then the PA_EN pin will be
activated when the internal PA is turned on. Otherwise, the EXT_PA_POL bit controls the PA_EN pin
directly. If EXT_LNA = 1, then the LNA_EN pin will be activated when the internal LNA is turned on.
Otherwise, the EXT_LNA_POL bit controls the LNA_EN pin directly.
These two pins can therefore also be used as two general control signals, see Section 5.19.2. In the TI
reference design LNA_EN and PA_EN are used to control the external T/R switch.
5.19.2 General Purpose Output Control Pins
The two digital output pins, PA_EN and LNA_EN, can be used as two general control signals by setting
EXT_PA = 0 and EXT_LNA = 0. The output value is then set directly by the value written to EXT_PA_POL
and EXT_LNA_POL.
The LOCK pin can also be used as a general-purpose output pin. The LOCK pin is controlled by
LOCK_SELECT[3:0] in the LOCK register. The LOCK pin is low when LOCK_SELECT[3:0] = 0000, and
high when LOCK_SELECT[3:0] = 0001.
These features can be used to save I/O pins on the microcontroller when the other functions associated
with these pins are not used.

5.20 System Considerations and Guidelines
5.20.1 SRD Regulations
International regulations and national laws regulate the use of radio receivers and transmitters. SRDs
(Short Range Devices) for license free operation are allowed to operate in the 433 and 868 to 870 MHz
bands in most European countries. In the United States, such devices operate in the 260 to 470 and 902
to 928 MHz bands. CC1020 is also applicable for use in the 950 to 960 MHz frequency band in Japan. A
summary of the most important aspects of these regulations can be found in AN001 SRD Regulations For
License Free Transceiver Operation (SWRA090).
5.20.2 Narrowband Systems
CC1020 is specifically designed for narrowband systems complying with ARIB STD-T67 and EN 300 220.
The CC1020 meets the strict requirements to ACP (Adjacent Channel Power) and occupied bandwidth for
a narrowband transmitter. To meet the ARIB STD-T67 requirements, a 3.0 V regulated voltage supply
should be used.
For the receiver side, CC1020 gives very good ACR (Adjacent Channel Rejection), image frequency
suppression and blocking properties for channel spacings down to 12.5 kHz.
Such narrowband performance normally requires the use of external ceramic filters. The CC1020 provides
this performance as a true single-chip solution with integrated IF filters.
Japan and Korea have allocated several frequency bands at 424, 426, 429, 447, 449 and 469 MHz for
narrowband license free operation. CC1020 is designed to meet the requirements for operation in all these
bands, including the strict requirements for narrowband operation down to 12.5 kHz channel spacing.
Due to on-chip complex filtering, the image frequency is removed. An on-chip calibration circuit is used to
get the best possible image rejection. A narrowband preselector filter is not necessary to achieve image
rejection.

SWRS046H – NOVEMBER 2006 – REVISED MARCH 2015
A unique feature in CC1020 is the very fine frequency resolution. This can be used for temperature
compensation of the crystal if the temperature drift curve is known and a temperature sensor is included in
the system. Even initial adjustment can be performed using the frequency programmability. This
eliminates the need for an expensive TCXO and trimming in some applications. For more details refer to
AN027 Temperature Compensation by Indirect Method (SWRA065).
In less demanding applications, a crystal with low temperature drift and low aging could be used without
further compensation. A trimmer capacitor in the crystal oscillator circuit (in parallel with C5) could be used
to set the initial frequency accurately.
The frequency offset between a transmitter and receiver is measured in the CC1020 and can be read
back from the AFC register. The measured frequency offset can be used to calibrate the receiver
frequency using the transmitter as the reference. For more details refer to AN029 CC1020/1021 Automatic
Frequency Control (AFC) (SWRA063).
CC1020 also has the possibility to use Gaussian shaped FSK (GFSK). This spectrum-shaping feature
improves adjacent channel power (ACP) and occupied bandwidth. In ‘true’ FSK systems with abrupt
frequency shifting, the spectrum is inherently broad. By making the frequency shift ‘softer’, the spectrum
can be made significantly narrower. Thus, higher data rates can be transmitted in the same bandwidth
using GFSK.
5.20.3 Low Cost Systems
As the CC1020 provides true narrowband multi-channel performance without any external filters, a very
low cost high performance system can be achieved. The oscillator crystal can then be a low cost crystal
with 50 ppm frequency tolerance using the on-chip frequency tuning possibilities.
5.20.4 Battery Operated Systems
In low power applications, the power down mode should be used when CC1020 is not being active.
Depending on the start-up time requirement, the oscillator core can be powered during power down. See
Section 5.14 for information on how effective power management can be implemented.
5.20.5 High Reliability Systems
Using a SAW filter as a preselector will improve the communication reliability in harsh environments by
reducing the probability of blocking. The receiver sensitivity and the output power will be reduced due to
the filter insertion loss. By inserting the filter in the RX path only, together with an external RX/TX switch,
only the receiver sensitivity is reduced and output power is remained. The PA_EN and LNA_EN pin can
be configured to control an external LNA, RX/TX switch or power amplifier. This is controlled by the
INTERFACE register.

5.20.6 Frequency Hopping Spread Spectrum Systems (FHSS)
Due to the very fast locking properties of the PLL, the CC1020 is also very suitable for frequency hopping
systems. Hop rates of 1to100 hops/s are commonly used depending on the bit rate and the amount of
data to be sent during each transmission. The two frequency registers (FREQ_A and FREQ_B) are
designed such that the ‘next’ frequency can be programmed while the ‘present’ frequency is used. The
switching between the two frequencies is done through the MAIN register. Several features have been
included to do the hopping without a need to re-synchronize the receiver. For more details, refer to
Application Note AN014 Frequency Hopping Systems (SWRA077).
In order to implement a frequency hopping system with CC1020 do the following:
Set the desired frequency, calibrate and store the following register settings in non-volatile memory:
STATUS1[3:0]: CHP_CURRENT[3:0]
STATUS2[4:0]: VCO_ARRAY[4:0]
TEST1[3:0]: CHP_CO[3:0]
STATUS3[5:0]:VCO_CAL_CURRENT[5:0]
Repeat the calibration for each desired frequency. VCO_CAL_CURRENT[5:0] is not dependent on the RF
frequency and the same value can be used for all frequencies.
When performing frequency hopping, write the stored values to the corresponding TEST1, TEST2 and
TEST3 registers, and enable override:
TEST2[4:0]: VCO_AO[4:0]
TEST2[5]: VCO_OVERRIDE
TEST2[6]: CHP_OVERRIDE
TEST3[5:0]: VCO_CO[5:0]
TEST3[6]: VCO_CAL_OVERRIDE
CHP_CO[3:0] is the register setting read from CHP_CURRENT[3:0], VCO_AO[4:0] is the register setting
read from
VCO_ARRAY[4:0] and
VCO_CO[5:0]
is
the
register
setting
read
from
VCO_CAL_CURRENT[5:0].
Assume channel 1 defined by register FREQ_A is currently being used and that CC1020 should operate
on channel 2 next (to change channel simply write to register MAIN[6]). The channel 2 frequency can be
set by register FREQ_B which can be written to while operating on channel 1. The calibration data must
be written to the TEST1-3 registers after switching to the next frequency. That is, when hopping to a new
channel write to register MAIN[6] first and the test registers next. The PA should be switched off between
each hop and the PLL should be checked for lock before switching the PA back on after a hop has been
performed.
NOTE
The override bits VCO_OVERRIDE, CHP_OVERRIDE and VCO_CAL_OVERRIDE must be
disabled when performing a re-calibration.

5.21 Antenna Considerations
CC1020 can be used together with various types of antennas. The most common antennas for shortrange communication are monopole, helical and loop antennas.
Monopole antennas are resonant antennas with a length corresponding to one quarter of the electrical
l
wavelength ( 4 ). They are very easy to design and can be implemented simply as a “piece of wire” or
even integrated onto the PCB.
l
Non-resonant monopole antennas shorter than 4 can also be used, but at the expense of range. In size
and cost critical applications such an antenna may very well be integrated onto the PCB.
Helical antennas can be thought of as a combination of a monopole and a loop antenna. They are a good
compromise in size critical applications. But helical antennas tend to be more difficult to optimize than the
simple monopole.
Loop antennas are easy to integrate into the PCB, but are less effective due to difficult impedance
matching because of their very low radiation resistance.
l
For low power applications the 4 monopole antenna is recommended due to its simplicity as well as
providing the best range.
l
The length of the 4 monopole antenna is given by Equation 34.
7125
L=
f
(34)
Where:
f is in MHz, giving the length in cm.
An antenna for 868 MHz should be 8.2 cm, and 16.4 cm for 433 MHz.
The antenna should be connected as close as possible to the IC. If the antenna is located away from the
input pin the antenna should be matched to the feeding transmission line (50 Ω).
For a more thorough background on antennas, please refer to AN003 SRD Antennas (SWRA088).

5.22 Configuration Registers
The configuration of CC1020 is done by programming the 8-bit configuration registers. The configuration
data based on selected system parameters are most easily found by using the SmartRF Studio software.
Complete descriptions of the registers are given in Section 5.22.1. After a RESET is programmed, all the
registers have default values. The TEST registers also get default values after a RESET, and should not
be altered by the user.
TI recommends using the register settings found using the SmartRF Studio software. These are the
register settings that TI specifies across temperature, voltage, and process. Check the TI web site for
regularly updates to the SmartRF Studio software.

For reset of CC1020 write RESET_N=0 in the MAIN register. The reset register should not be used during normal operation.
Bits in the RESET register are self-clearing (will be set to 1 when the reset operation starts). Relevant digital clocks must be running for
the resetting to complete. After writing to the RESET register, the user should verify that all reset operations have been completed, by
reading the RESET_DONE status register (41h) until all bits equal 1.

The PLL loop filter component values in Table 6-2 (R2, R3, C6-C8) can be used for data rates up to 4.8 kBaud.
The SmartRF Studio software provides component values for other data rates using the equations in Section 5.12.2.
Items shaded vary for different frequencies. For 433 MHz, 12.5 kHz channel, a loop filter with lower bandwidth is used to improve
adjacent and alternate channel rejection.
In the CC1020EMX reference design (CC1020EMX), LQG15HS series inductors from Murata have been
used. The switch is SW-456 from M/A-COM.
The LC filter in Figure 6-1 is inserted in the TX path only. The filter will reduce the emission of harmonics
and the spurious emissions in the TX path. An alternative is to insert the LC filter between the antenna
and the T/R switch as shown in Figure 6-2.
The filter will reduce the emission of harmonics and the spurious emissions in the TX path as well as
increase the receiver selectivity. The sensitivity will be slightly reduced due to the insertion loss of the LC
filter.
6.2
6.2.1
Design Requirements
Input and Output Matching
L1 and C1 are the input match for the receiver. L1 is also a DC choke for biasing. L2 and C3 are used to
match the transmitter to 50 Ω. Internal circuitry makes it possible to connect the input and output together
and match the CC1020 to 50 Ω in both RX and TX mode. However, it is recommended to use an external
T/R switch for optimum performance. See Section 5.11 for details. Component values for the matching
network are easily found using the SmartRF Studio software.
6.2.2
Bias Resistor
The precision bias resistor R1 is used to set an accurate bias current.
6.2.3
PLL Loop Filter
The loop filter consists of two resistors (R2 and R3) and three capacitors (C6 through C8). C7 and C8 may
be omitted in applications where high loop bandwidth is desired. The values shown in Table 6-2 can be
used for data rates up to 4.8 kBaud. Component values for higher data rates are easily found using the
SmartRF Studio software.

Crystal
An external crystal with two loading capacitors (C4 and C5) is used for the crystal oscillator. See
Section 5.16 for details.
6.2.5
Additional Filtering
Additional external components (for example, RF, LC, or SAW filter) may be used in order to improve the
performance in specific applications. See Section 5.11 for further information.
6.2.6
Power Supply Decoupling and Filtering
Power supply decoupling and filtering must be used (not shown in the application circuit). The placement
and size of the decoupling capacitors and the power supply filtering are very important to achieve the
optimum performance for narrowband applications. TI provides a reference design that should be followed
very closely.
6.3
PCB Layout Recommendations
The top layer should be used for signal routing, and the open areas should be filled with metallization
connected to ground using several vias.
The area under the chip is used for grounding and must be connected to the bottom ground plane with
several vias. In the TI reference designs we have placed 9 vias inside the exposed die attached pad.
These vias should be “tented” (covered with solder mask) on the component side of the PCB to avoid
migration of solder through the vias during the solder reflow process.
Do not place a via underneath CC1020 at “pin #1 corner” as this pin is internally connected to the exposed
die attached pad, which is the main ground connection for the chip.
Each decoupling capacitor should be placed as close as possible to the supply pin it is supposed to
decouple. Each decoupling capacitor should be connected to the power line (or power plane) by separate
vias. The best routing is from the power line (or power plane) to the decoupling capacitor and then to the
CC1020 supply pin. Supply power filtering is very important, especially for pins 23, 22, 20 and 18.
Each decoupling capacitor ground pad should be connected to the ground plane using a separate via.
Direct connections between neighboring power pins will increase noise coupling and should be avoided
unless absolutely necessary.
The external components should ideally be as small as possible and surface mount devices are highly
recommended.
Precaution should be used when placing the microcontroller in order to avoid noise interfering with the RF
circuitry.
A CC1020/1070DK Development Kit with a fully assembled CC1020EMX Evaluation Module is available.
It is strongly advised that this reference layout is followed very closely in order to get the best
performance. The layout Gerber files are available from the CC1020EMX product folder.

7 Device and Documentation Support
7.1
7.1.1
Device Support
Device Nomenclature
To designate the stages in the product development cycle, TI assigns prefixes to the part numbers. Each
device has one of three prefixes: X, P, or null (no prefix) (for example, CC1020 is in production; therefore,
no prefix is assigned).
Device development evolutionary flow:
X
Experimental device that is not necessarily representative of the final device's electrical
specifications and may not use production assembly flow.
P
Prototype device that is not necessarily the final silicon die and may not necessarily meet
final electrical specifications.
null
Production version of the silicon die that is fully qualified.
Production devices have been characterized fully, and the quality and reliability of the device have been
demonstrated fully. TI's standard warranty applies.
Predictions show that prototype devices (X or P) have a greater failure rate than the standard production
devices. Texas Instruments recommends that these devices not be used in any production system
because their expected end-use failure rate still is undefined. Only qualified production devices are to be
used.
TI device nomenclature also includes a suffix with the device family name. This suffix indicates the
package type (for example, RSS).
For orderable part numbers of CC1020 devices in the RSS package types, see the Package Option
Addendum of this document, the TI website (www.ti.com), or contact your TI sales representative.

Unless TI has explicitly designated an individual product as meeting the requirements of a particular industry standard (e.g., ISO/TS 16949
and ISO 26262), TI is not responsible for any failure to meet such industry standard requirements.
Where TI specifically promotes products as facilitating functional safety or as compliant with industry functional safety standards, such
products are intended to help enable customers to design and create their own applications that meet applicable functional safety standards
and requirements. Using products in an application does not by itself establish any safety features in the application. Designers must
ensure compliance with safety-related requirements and standards applicable to their applications. Designer may not use any TI products in
life-critical medical equipment unless authorized officers of the parties have executed a special contract specifically governing such use.
Life-critical medical equipment is medical equipment where failure of such equipment would cause serious bodily injury or death (e.g., life
support, pacemakers, defibrillators, heart pumps, neurostimulators, and implantables). Such equipment includes, without limitation, all
medical devices identified by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration as Class III devices and equivalent classifications outside the U.S.
TI may expressly designate certain products as completing a particular qualification (e.g., Q100, Military Grade, or Enhanced Product).
Designers agree that it has the necessary expertise to select the product with the appropriate qualification designation for their applications
and that proper product selection is at Designers’ own risk. Designers are solely responsible for compliance with all legal and regulatory
requirements in connection with such selection.
Designer will fully indemnify TI and its representatives against any damages, costs, losses, and/or liabilities arising out of Designer’s noncompliance with the terms and provisions of this Notice.
