ML2722 900MHz Low-IF 1.5Mbps FSK Transceiver Final Datasheet GENERAL DESCRIPTION FEATURES The ML2722 is a fully integrated 1.5Mbps frequency shift keyed (FSK) transceiver that operates in the unlicensed 900MHz ISM frequency band. The device has been optimized for digital cordless telephone applications and includes all the frequency generation, receive and transmit functions. Automatically adjusted filters eliminate mechanical tuning. The transmitter generates a -1 dBm FSK output signal. The single conversion Low-IF receiver has all the sensitivity and selectively advantages of a traditional superheterodyne without requiring costly, bulky external filters, while providing the integration advantages of direct conversion. The phase locked loop (PLL) synthesizer is completely integrated, including the voltage controlled oscillator (VCO), tuning circuits, and VCO resonator. This allows the ML2722 to be used in frequency hopped spread spectrum (FHSS) applications. The ML2722 contains internal voltage regulation. It also contains PLL and transmitter configuration registers. The device can be placed in a low power standby mode for current sensitive applications. It is packaged in a 32TQFP. 3 22 RVCC4 EN 4 21 RRFI DATA 5 20 GND CLK 6 19 GND TPC/TPQ 7 18 GND VSS 8 17 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 GND QPO REF 1.5Mbps maximum data rate § Typical receiver sensitivity: -95dBm at 12.5% CER § Fully integrated frequency synthesizer with internal VCO resonator § Automatic filter calibration: Requires no mechanical tuning adjustments during manufacturing § Low IF Receiver: No external IF filters required § Control outputs correctly sequence and control external PA § 3-wire control interface § Analog RSSI output APPLICATIONS 900MHz FSK Data Transceivers § - Digital Cordless Phones - Wireless Streaming Media - Wireless PC Peripherals GND TRFO PAON VTUNE 23 RVCC3 2 VCC2 VCC5 RXON GND 32 31 30 29 28 27 26 25 1 24 RVCC1 § BLOCK DIAGRAM XCEN 9 Single chip ISM band 900MHz Radio Transceiver with -1 dBm transmit output power GND VBG RVCC6 RSSI/TPI RVCC7 DIN VDD DOUT PIN CONFIGURATION § ORDERING INFORMATION PART NUMBER TEMPERATURE RANGE ML2722DH DS2722-F-05 o o -10 C to +60 C PACKAGE PUBLICATION 32 Pin TQFP 7mm body DS2722-F-05 DECEMBER 2003 ML2722 TABLE OF CONTENTS GENERAL DESCRIPTION............................................................................................................................................1 PIN CONFIGURATION .................................................................................................................................................1 ORDERING INFORMATION .........................................................................................................................................1 FEATURES....................................................................................................................................................................1 APPLICATIONS.............................................................................................................................................................1 BLOCK DIAGRAM ........................................................................................................................................................1 TABLE OF CONTENTS ................................................................................................................................................2 CHANGE LOG ..............................................................................................................................................................2 SIMPLIFIED APPLICATIONS DIAGRAM......................................................................................................................3 ELECTRICAL CHARACTERISTICS .............................................................................................................................4 PIN DESCRIPTIONS ....................................................................................................................................................7 FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION....................................................................................................................................13 MODES OF OPERATION ...........................................................................................................................................15 DATA INTERFACES ....................................................................................................................................................18 CONTROL INTERFACES AND REGISTER DESCRIPTIONS ...................................................................................20 PHYSICAL DIMENSIONS (INCHES/MILLIMETERS).................................................................................................27 ORDERING INFORMATION .......................................................................................................................................27 WARRANTY ................................................................................................................................................................28 CHANGE LOG VERSION DATE AUTHOR CHANGES/COMMENTS DS2722-F-03 9/26/03 Derby Reformatted and updated from F02 DS2722-F-04 10/13/03 Derby Error on Page 21 Table 5 – Divide Ratio = fc / 0.512 DS2722-F-05 12/12/03 Derby Some graphics printed poorly to PDF.

FINAL DATASHEET VDD 31 EN 4 5.5k DATA 5 1.7p CLK 6 8 VSS DECEMBER 2003 12 ML2722 FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION The ML2722 enables the design and manufacture of low-cost, high-performance FSK transceivers. It can also be used as a 900MHz digital cordless telephone transceiver. Integral to the ML2722 is a low-IF receiver whose LO port is driven from an internal synthesizer. Included are image rejection IF filters, limiters, discriminator, data slicers, and baseband low-pass data filters. It also contains internal voltage regulators to protect critical circuits from power supply noise and transmit modulation circuits. The ML2722 is designed to transmit and receive 1.536M chips per second in 2.048MHz spaced channels in the 902 to 928MHz ISM band. A single synthesizer is used for both the receiver and the FSK transmitter. The phase locked loop (PLL) is completely integrated, including the voltage controlled oscillator (VCO), tuning circuits, and VCO resonator. The ML2722 has an internal control interface that programs the synthesizer, the mode of operation, the external LNA and PA, and provides a convenient and flexible interface to various baseband processors. For power level monitoring an RSSI block is included. In RECEIVE MODE, the ML2722 is a single conversion low IF receiver. The demodulation is followed by a matched bit rate filter and a data slicer. The sliced data is provided to a baseband chip for despreading. All channel filtering and demodulation is performed using active filters, which are automatically aligned. A matched bit rate filter and a data slicer follow the demodulator. The sliced data is provided at the DOUT pin. In TRANSMIT MODE, the ML2722 uses the Receive mode VCO and frequency division, with a driver amplifier providing typically -1 dBm output to feed the power amplifier. The PLL frequency synthesizer loop is opened during the transmit time slot, and the VCO is directly modulated by low-pass filtered circuits from the internal modulation filter. The ML2722 uses multiple voltage regulators to protect sensitive internal circuits from power supply noise. Separate regulators supply the PLL dividers, RF circuits and IF circuits. Each of these regulators takes its power from VCC5, and supplies power internally to its respective RVCCn pin. External capacitors are required at each RVCCn pin to decouple the outputs of the internal regulators. The VCO regulator takes its power from the VCC2 pin which is normally connected to the RVCC6 (pin 27) or RVCC7 (pin 29). An external decoupling capacitor is also used on the internal bandgap voltage reference to improve the noise performance of the regulators. The integrated PLL frequency synthesizer includes a fully integrated VCO, prescaler, phase detector and charge pump. The reference frequency is generated from the incoming signal at the REF pin, which can be either 6.144MHz or 12.288MHz. The loop filter is external to allow customers to optimize their loop bandwidth to their system’s lock time and in-band phase noise requirements. This frequency-agile synthesizer allows the ML2722 to be used in frequency hopped spread spectrum (FHSS) applications with nominal channel spacing of 2.048MHz. Carrier frequency is programmed via the configuration registers and 3-wire serial interface. The VCO tank circuit (inductor and varactor) is fully integrated.

ML2722 Block Diagram DS2722-F-05 FINAL DATASHEET DECEMBER 2003 14 ML2722 MODES OF OPERATION OVERVIEW § STANDBY: All circuits powered down, except the control interface (Static CMOS) § RECEIVE: Receiver circuits active § TRANSMIT: PLL open loop, modulated RF output available from the IC The two operational modes are RECEIVE and TRANSMIT. They are set by the RXON control (pin 2). XCEN (pin 1) is the chip enable/disable and can be set for standby operation. The relationship between the parallel control lines and the mode of operation of the IC is given in Table 1. XCEN RXON MODE TRANSCEIVER MODE 0 X STANDBY Control interfaces active, all other circuits powered down 1 1 RECEIVE Receiver time slot 1 0 TRANSMIT Transmit time slot Table 1: Modes of Operation MODE CONTROL The ML2722 is intended for use in TDD and TDMA radios in battery-powered equipment. To minimize power consumption it is designed to switch rapidly from a low power mode (STANDBY) to receive or transmit. The ML2722 can also make a quick transition from receive to transmit for TDD operation. Prior to transmitting or receiving, time should be allowed for the PLL to lock up and for the filters to be aligned. When the ML2722 is operated in single-carrier TDD mode, the LO is automatically shifted by the second (low) IF frequency when the device is switched between RECEIVE and TRANSMIT modes. ML2722 carrier frequency can be changed (hopped) between transmissions. Carrier frequency (channel) is modified in the ML2722 by writing a corresponding new value to the PLL frequency register. RECEIVE The ML2722 uses a single-conversion heterodyne receiver with a nominal IF of 1.024MHz. The signal flow in RECEIVE mode is from the RF input, through an image reject quadrature mixer, limiter, frequency-to-voltage converter, data filter, and data slicer where the digital NRZ data is available at the DOUT pin. A 20dB step AGC extends the dynamic range of the receiver. The ML2722 receive chain is a Low IF receiver using advanced integrated radio techniques to eliminate external IF filters and minimize external RF filter requirements. The precision filtering and demodulation circuits give improved performance over conventional radio design using external filters while providing integration comparable to advanced direct conversion radio designs. DS2722-F-05 FINAL DATASHEET DECEMBER 2003 15 ML2722 Receive Signal Strength Indication (RSSI) RSSI is an indication of field strength. It is typically used to control transmit power to conserve battery life. It may also be used to determine if a given channel is occupied (see Figure 3). RSSI voltage vs RF Level 3.00 RSSI Voltage 2.50 2.00 1.50 1.00 0.50 0.00 -100 -90 -80 -70 -60 -50 -40 -30 -20 -10 Receive RF Level (dBm) Figure 3. Typical RSSI Response Automatic Filter Alignment When the ML2722 is placed in RECEIVE mode, it automatically tunes all the internal filters using the reference frequency from the REF pin. This self-calibration sets: § Discriminator center frequency § IF filter center frequency and bandwidth § Receiver data low-pass filter bandwidth § Transmit data low pass filter bandwidth TRANSMIT MODE In TRANSMIT mode, the VCO is directly modulated with filtered FSK transmit data. The ML2722 transmitter is a 2-FSK transmitter using a directly modulated open loop VCO. The ML2722 design supports transmit time slot lengths up to 10ms, and the time required to set up the transmitter for a new time slot (TXCAL mode) is 62.5µs.This type of transmitter is simple, low power, and well suited to a time-time slotted system. The transmitter uses the stored VCO tuning voltage on the PLL loop filter to set the VCO frequency for the duration of the transmitter time slot. The modulation is introduced through a second VCO tuning port. This modulation port has a much lower tuning sensitivity than the main tuning port in order to produce the ±460KHz FSK deviation. Compensation circuits stabilize the modulation deviation over the VCO tuning range, and internal logic manages the correct transition from TXCAL to TRANSMIT mode. The operating cycle of the transmitter starts with the falling edge of RXON. In the first 62.5µs after the falling edge of RXON, a calibration mode (TXCAL) is triggered. The data filter input is zeroed and the PLL locks the VCO frequency to the desired RF channel center frequency. A CW signal at the selected RF channel frequency comes out of the Transmit RF output. When the internally generated PLLEN control line changes state, the transmitter starts its transition to TRANSMIT mode. The PLL charge pump is disabled, leaving the PLL loop filter to hold the correct tuning voltage for this channel. The data formatter injects an NRZ bipolar data waveform into the Transmit data filter. The Transmit data filter bandlimits this waveform, and feeds it to the modulation compensation circuits. These scale the modulation voltage (depending on the VCO tuning voltage) and drive the VCO tuning port with the scaled, filtered modulation. The voltage on the modulation port swings above and below its central value to produce 2-FSK modulation on the VCO. The modulation filtering is sufficient to meet the FCC occupied bandwidth and out-of-band emissions requirements, and does not introduce significant ISI (Inter Symbol Interference). The transmit modulation filter is automatically tuned during the first part of every RX and TX time (RXCAL&TXCAL) to remove the need for production alignment. When the chip is first powered up, the tuning information is reset to midrange. The ML2722 should then be enabled with RXON high. The rising edge on XCEN will trigger a complete calibration of all the on chip filters, which takes 320µs. This ensures the modulation filters are aligned to prevent unwanted spurious emissions. DS2722-F-05 FINAL DATASHEET DECEMBER 2003 16 ML2722 Prior to transmitting the PLL must tune to the intended RF center frequency of the transmission. This occurs in TXCAL mode. The Transmit modulation is disabled and any input on the DIN (pin 30) is ignored. The transmit output buffer is enabled during TXCAL mode. To prevent spurious emissions due to the PLL locking, any external antenna switch or PA should be disabled during TXCAL mode. For optimum performance we recommend that the second harmonic level reflected back into the output TRFO (pin 23), be less than –30dBm. Phase Locked Loop (PLL) and Channel Selection The PLL synthesizes channel frequencies to a 512kHz resolution, which is more finely spaced than the 1.536MHz signal bandwidth. Non-overlapping channels are spaced by 2.048MHz where the IF filter and image reject mixer give a typical adjacent channel rejection of 25dB. There are twelve non-overlapping channels in the 902 to 928MHz ISM band (see Table 2). CHANNEL FREQUENCY IN MHz 1 903.680 2 905.728 3 907.776 4 909.824 5 911.872 6 913.920 7 915.968 8 918.016 9 920.064 10 922.112 11 924.160 12 926.208 Table 2. Non-Overlapping Channel Frequencies The LO PLL is programmed via a 3-wire serial control bus. Program words are clocked in on the DATA line (pin 5) by the CLK (pin 6), and loaded into the dividers or control circuits when EN (pin 4) is asserted. There is no check for errors in the program words. Once loaded, register contents are preserved while VDD is present. The register status and operation is independent of the mode of operation of the PLL. The reference signal from an external crystal oscillator at either 6.144MHz or 12.288MHz is fed to a programmable reference divider. The 1.024MHz reference divider output is fed to the LO phase frequency detector. The PLL prescaler input comes from the VCO at 1.83GHz, so the 1.024MHz comparison frequency gives 512KHz frequency resolution at 902 to 928MHz. STANDBY MODE In STANDBY the ML2722 transceiver is powered down. The only active circuits are the control interfaces, which are static CMOS to minimize power consumption. The serial control interface (and control registers) remain powered up and will accept and retain programming data as long as the digital supply is present. The ML2722 serial control registers should be loaded with control and configuration data before any active mode is selected. The filter alignment registers are reset at power up. TEST MODE The RF to digital functionality of the ML2722 requires special test mode circuitry for IC production test and radio debugging. A test register, available via the 3-wire serial interface, controls the test multiplexers. DS2722-F-05 FINAL DATASHEET DECEMBER 2003 17 ML2722 CONTROL INTERFACES There are two control interfaces: PARALLEL and SERIAL. PARALLEL INTERFACE The parallel interface provides immediate control and monitoring of the ML2722. Input signals include: § XCEN: Transceiver enable. Places the ML2722 in Standby or Active (when asserted) modes. § RXON: Receive On. Places an Active ML2722 in Receive mode when asserted. § REF: Reference frequency input Output signals include: § RSSI: Received Signal Strength Indicator: indicates the power of the received signal § PAON: External Power Amplifier Control Pin SERIAL INTERFACE A 3-wire serial interface (EN, DATA, CLK) is used for programming the ML2722 configuration registers, which control device mode, pin functions, PLL and reference dividers, internal test modes, and filter alignment. Data words are entered beginning with the MSB (“big-endian”). The word is divided into a leading 14-bit data field followed by a 2-bit address field. When the address field has been decoded the destination register is loaded on the rising edge of EN. Providing less than 16 bits of data will result in unpredictable behavior when EN goes high. Data and clock signals are ignored when EN is high. When EN is low, data on the DATA pin is clocked into a shift register by rising edges on the CLK pin. The information is latched when EN goes high. This serial interface bus is similar to that commonly found on PLL devices. The data latches are implemented in static CMOS and use minimal power when the bus is inactive. Table 3 and Figure 4 provide timing and register programming illustrations.

Programming is performed by entering 16-bit words into the ML2722 serial interface. Three 16-bit registers are partitioned such that 14 bits are dedicated for data to program the operation and two bits identify the register address. The three registers are: § Register 0: PLL Configuration § Register 1: Channel Frequency Data § Register 2: Internal Test Access Figure 5 shows a register map. Table 4 through Table 6 provide detailed diagrams of the register organization: Table 4 and Table 5 outline the PLL configuration and channel frequency registers, and Table 6 displays the filter tuning and test mode register. 14-bit Data MSB DB13 Res.

Register 2 – Test Mode Register CONTROL REGISTER DESCRIPTIONS Power-On State All register values are set to 0 (zero) on Power Up. Power up is defined as occurring when VDD (pin 31) = 2.0V (typical). The register default values are valid after power up. The PLL divide ratio and PLL configuration registers must be programmed before XCEN is asserted for the first time. Address and Data Bits (ADR) Each of the three registers are identically configured. Each is divided into a fourteen (14) bit data field and a two (2) bit address field. The 16 bits are input serially (see Figure 5) with the 14 data bits, most significant bit (DB13) first followed by the two address bits, most significant bit (ADR1) first. The last 16 bits clocked into the ML2722 will be loaded into the specified register. Loading less than 16 bits into any register will cause unpredictable device functionality. RES Bit Locations (Reserved) Bits identified as reserved must always have a logic 0 (zero) value for correct device operation. Power-on reset clears all reserved bits to zero. Each reserved bit must be programmed to logic zero whenever any of the three registers are reprogrammed. DS2722-F-05 FINAL DATASHEET DECEMBER 2003 22 ML2722 REGISTER #0, PLL CONFIGURATION PLL Charge Pump Polarity (QPP): DB0 This bit sets the charge pump polarity to sink or source current. For a majority of applications, this bit is cleared (QPP = 0). For applications where an external amplifier is in the loop filter, this bit is set to 1 to change the charge pump polarity (see Table 7). QPP PLL CHARGE PUMP POLARITY 0 Frequency signal < frequency reference. Charge pump sources current. 1 Frequency signal < frequency reference. Charge pump sinks current. Table 7.

PLL Mode in Transmit Operation Transmit Power Control Bit (TPC): DB5 Controls the state of the TPC/TPQ open-drain output (pin 7).

TPC Pin State REGISTER #1, CHANNEL FREQUENCY REGISTER Channel Frequency Selection Bits (CHQ): <DB11:DB0> These bits set the channel frequency for the transceiver (see Table 13). With a 6.144MHz or 12.288MHz input to the REF pin (pin 9), the channel frequency value is calculated by multiplying the CHQ value by 0.512. A 1.024MHz offset is automatically added in the RECEIVE mode to accommodate the IF frequency. The recommended operating range value of the CHQ is from 1,024 (400 hex) to 4093 (FFD hex). These bits should be programmed to a valid channel frequency before XCEN is asserted. The divide ratio is calculated as fC /0.512, where fC is the channel frequency in MHz.

The performance of the ML2722 is not specified in these test modes. Although primarily intended for IC test and debug, they also can help in debugging the radio system. The default (power-up) state of these bits is ATM<2:0> = <0,0,0>. When a non-zero value is written to the field, RSSI/TPI (pin 28) and TPC/TPQ (pin 7) become analog test access ports, giving access to the outputs of key signal processing stages in the transceiver.

Digital Test Control Bits TRANSMIT AND RECEIVE DATA INTERFACES The DIN and DOUT CMOS logic levels are serial data that correspond to FSK modulated data on the radio channel. The ML2722 operates as an FSK transceiver in the 902 to 928MHz ISM band. The chip rate, bit rate and spreading code are controlled by the baseband processor, and the FM deviation and transmit filtering are controlled by the transceiver. DIN provides data to the Transmit data filter, which band limits the transmitted chips or bits before they are FM modulated. There is no re-timing of the chips or bits, so the transmitted FSK chips or bits take their timing from DIN (pin 30). In the Receive chain, FM demodulation, data filtering, and data slicing take place in the ML2722 receiver, with chip, bit and word rate timing recovery performed in the baseband processor. RSSI AND REF There are two other interface pins between the ML2722 transceiver and the baseband IC: the RSSI/TPI (pin 28) and REF (pin 9). DS2722-F-05 FINAL DATASHEET DECEMBER 2003 25 ML2722 REF is the master reference frequency for the transceiver. It supplies the frequency reference for the RF channel frequency and the filter tuning. The REF pin is a CMOS input with internal biasing resistors. It can be AC coupled through a 470pF coupling capacitor to a sine wave source of at least 2.0V peak-to-peak. The PLL comparison and the IF filter center frequency are both equal to the REF input frequency divided by either 6 or 12, depending on the setting of the RDIV bit in the PLL configuration control word. The IF filter and data filter bandwidths track the IF filter center frequency. The Received Signal Strength Indicator (RSSI) pin supplies a voltage indicating the amplitude of the received RF signal. It is normally connected to the input of a low-speed ADC on an external baseband IC, and is used during channel scanning to detect clear channels on which the radio may transmit. The RSSI voltage is proportional to the logarithm of the received power level. A voltage of 0V to 2.7V typically corresponds to an RF input power of –95 to –20dBm with a nominal slope of 35mV/dB. CONTROL OUTPUTS TO THE PA – PAON AND TPC The ML2722 has two output pins to control and sequence the power amplifier – PAON and TPC (see Figure 6). RXON t2 Internal PLLEN PAON t4 Output from TRFO SYMBOL PARAMETER TIME/µS t1 RXON falling edge to PAON rising edge 62.5 t2 RXON rising edge to PLL recalibration 6.5 t3 RXON rising edge to receive mode 70 t4 RXON rising edge to PAON falling edge < 0.1 t1 t3 Figure 6. Power Amplifier Interface The PAON (PA control) is a CMOS output to control an off-chip RF PA (power amplifier). It outputs a logic high when the PA should be enabled, and a logic low at all other times. This output is inhibited if the PLL fails to lock, or the power supply to the ML2722 falls below 2.6V. The PLL lock detect or low voltage signals are latched, so that the transmitter is inhibited for the entire transmit time slot. These latches are reset at the end of the transmit time slot, so that the ML2722 will transmit in the next time slot following a transient fault condition. The TPC/TPQ (pin 7) is an open drain output intended for transmit power control. It is controlled by the TPC bit in serial bus register 0. This bit can be changed at any time, but the TPC pin will not change state until the beginning of the next transmit time slot, triggered by a falling edge on RXON. This pin interfaces to an external PA power control input via a resistor network to set the output power level. In analog test modes the RSSI/TPI (pin 28) and TPC/TPQ (pin 7) become analog test access ports that allow the user to observe internal signals in the ML2722. RF INTERFACES The RRFI receive input (pin 21) and the TRFO transmit output (pin 23) are the only RF I/O pins. The RRFI pin requires a simple impedance matching network for best input noise figure, and the TRFO pin is matched to 50Ω by an AC coupling capacitor. The associated RF input and output ground pins must have direct connections to an RF ground plane, and the RF block supply pins must be well decoupled to the RF ground pins. f DS2722-F-05 f S11 S11 GHZ MAG ANGLE GHZ MAG ANGLE 0.9 0.757 -83.0 0.9 0.208 139.5 RRFI S-PARAMETERS AT 3.3 V, OPERATING TEMPERATURE 25OC TRFO S-PARAMETERS AT 3.3 V, OPERATING TEMPERATURE 25OC Table 16.
