Description UHF ASK Transmitter ATA2745 The ATA2745 is a PLL transmitter IC which has been developed especially for the demands of RF low-cost data transmission systems at data rates up to 20 kBaud. The transmitting frequency range is 310 MHz to 440 MHz. It can be used in ASK systems. The main applications of the ATA2745 are in the areas of outside temperature metering, socket control, garage door openers, consumption metering, light/fan or airconditioning controls, jalousies, wireless keyboards, and various other consumer market applications. 4898B–RKE–08/06 System Block Diagram UHF ASK Remote control transmitter UHF ASK Remote control receiver 1 Li cell ATA3745 ATA2745 Demod.

General Description The fully integrated VCO and the single-ended open-collector output allow particularly simple, low-cost RF miniature transmitters to be assembled. The single-ended output enables a considerably simplified adaptation of both a magnetic loop antenna of any form or a λ / 4 antenna. This is because the load impedance must not be balanced as would be the case with a differential output. The XTO's frequency can be selected to be either 13.56 MHz or 9.844 MHz (USA). At these frequencies, crystals have a very fast start-up time (< 1.5 ms), whereby a wait time of 5 ms to 10 ms is required until the transmitter IC is locked. This means that the processor does not need to poll a lock detect output. 4. Functional Description 4.1 ASK Transmission The ATA2745 is activated by EN = VS. VASK must remain 0V for 5 ms, then the output power can be modulated by means of pin ASK. VEN remains equal to VS during the transmission of the message. The ASK input activates the power amplifier and the PLL. 4.2 Take-over of the Clock Pulse in the Microcontroller The clock of the crystal oscillator can be used for clocking the microcontroller. The ATAR090 and ATAR890 have the special feature of starting with an integrated RC oscillator to switch on the ATA2745 with VEN = VS. 5 ms later, the 3.39-MHz clock frequency is present, so that the message can be sent with crystal accuracy. 5. Application Circuit The following component values are recommendations for a typical application. C4, C5, and C6 are block capacitors. The values of these capacitors depend on the board layout. C4 = 1 nF, C5 = 1 nF, and C6 = 22 nF are typically used here. For C5, the impedance between f = 100 MHz and f = 1 GHz should be as low as possible. CLoop1 and CLoop2 are selected so that the antenna oscillates in resonance and the matching to the appropriate impedance transformation is possible. LFeed is an inductor for the antenna's DC current supply. A typical value is LFeed = 220 nH. LFeed can be either printed on the PC board or be a discrete component. 4 ATA2745 4898B–RKE–08/06 ATA2745 5.1 Output Power Measurement The following output network (Figure 5-1 on page 5) can be used for output power evaluation, the exact values of L10 and C10 are dependent on the layout. L10 and C10 form the transformation network to adopt the output impedance of the IC to 50Ω. The following table shows the values for an output power of 2 mW and an RPWRSET = 1.2 kΩ. Table 5-1.
