Preliminary Technical Data
ADF7020
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The ADF7020 is a low power, highly integrated FSK/GFSK/
ASK/OOK/GASK transceiver designed for operation in the
license-free ISM bands at 433 MHz, 868 MHz, and 915 MHz. It
is suitable for circuit applications that meet either the European
ETSI-300-220 or the North American FCC (Part 15) regulatory
standards. A complete transceiver can be built using a small
number of external discrete components, making the ADF7020
very suitable for price-sensitive and area-sensitive applications.
The transmit section contains a VCO and low noise
fractional-N PLL with output resolution of <1 ppm. The VCO
operates at twice the fundamental frequency to reduce spurious
emissions and frequency pulling problems.
The transmitter output power is programmable in 0.3 dB steps
from −16 dBm to +13 dBm. The transceiver RF frequency,
channel spacing, and modulation are programmable using a
simple 3-wire interface. The device operates with a power
supply range of 2.3 V to 3.6 V and can be powered down when
not in use.
A low IF architecture is used in the receiver (200 kHz),
minimizing power consumption and the external component
count and avoiding interference problems at low frequencies.
The ADF7020 supports a wide variety of programmable
features including Rx linearity, sensitivity, and IF bandwidth,
allowing the user to trade off receiver sensitivity and selectivity
against current consumption, depending on the application. The
receiver also features a patent-pending automatic frequency
control (AFC) loop, allowing the PLL to track out the frequency
error in the incoming signal.
An on-chip ADC provides readback of an integrated temperature sensor, an external analog input, the battery voltage, or the
RSSI signal, which provides savings on an ADC in some
applications. The temperature sensor is accurate to ±5°C over
the full operating temperature range of −40°C to +85°C.

Function
The tuning voltage on this pin determines the output frequency of the voltage controlled oscillator (VCO).
The higher the tuning voltage, the higher the output frequency.
Regulator Voltage for PA Block. A 100 nF capacitor should be placed between this pin and ground for
regulator stability and noise rejection.
Voltage Supply for PA Block. Decoupling capacitors (X7R or Tantalum) of 0.1 µF and 0.01 µF should be placed
as close as possible to this pin.
The modulated signal is available at this pin. Output power levels are from −20 dBm to +13 dBm. The output
should be impedance matched to the desired load using suitable components. See the Transmitter section.
Ground for Output Stage of Transmitter.
LNA Input for Receiver Section. Input matching is required between the antenna and the differential LNA
input to ensure maximum power transfer. See the LNA/PA Matching section.
Complementary LNA Input. See the LNA/PA Matching section.
External bias resistor for LNA. Optimum resistor is 1.1 kΩ with 5% tolerance.
Voltage supply for LNA/MIXER block. This pin should be decoupled to ground with a 0.01 µF capacitor.
External Resistor to Set Charge Pump Current and Some Internal Bias Currents. Use 3.6 kΩ with 5% tolerance.
Regulator Voltage for LNA/MIXER block. A 100 nF capacitor should be placed between this pin and GND for
regulator stability and noise rejection.
Ground for LNA/MIXER block.
Signal Chain Test Pins. These pins are high impedance under normal conditions and should be left
unconnected.
Ground for LNA/MIXER block.
Signal Chain Test Pins. These pins are high impedance under normal conditions and should be left
unconnected.
Chip Enable. Bringing CE low puts the ADF7020 into complete power-down. Register values are lost when CE
is low, and the part must be reprogrammed once CE is brought high.
Load Enable, CMOS Input. When LE goes high, the data stored in the shift registers is loaded into one of the
four latches. A latch is selected using the control bits.
Serial Data Input. The serial data is loaded MSB first with the two LSBs as the control bits. This pin is a high
impedance CMOS input.
Serial Data Output. This pin is used to feed readback data from the ADF7020 to the microcontroller. The SCLK
input is used to clock each readback bit (AFC, ADC readback) from the SREAD pin.
Serial Clock Input. This serial clock is used to clock in the serial data to the registers. The data is latched into
the 24-bit shift register on the CLK rising edge. This pin is a digital CMOS input.

Function
Ground for Digital Section.
Analog-to-Digital Converter Input. The internal 7-bit ADC can be accessed through this pin. Full scale is 0 to
1.9 V. Readback is made using the SREAD pin.
Regulator Voltage for Digital Block. A 100 nF capacitor should be placed between this pin and ground for
regulator stability and noise rejection.
Voltage Supply for Digital Block. A decoupling capacitor (X7R or Tantalum) of 0.01 µF should be placed as
close as possible to this pin.
Bidirectional Pin. In output mode (INTerrupt mode), the ADF7020 asserts the INT/ LOCK pin when it has found
a match for the preamble sequence.
In input mode (lock mode), the microcontroller can be used to lock the demodulator threshold when a valid
preamble has been detected. Once the threshold is locked, NRZ data can be reliably received. In this mode, a
demod lock can be asserted with minimum delay.
Transmit Data Input/Received Data Output. This is a digital pin and normal CMOS levels apply.
In receive mode, the pin outputs the synchronized data clock. The positive clock edge is matched to the
center of the received data.
In GFSK transmit mode, the pin outputs an accurate clock to latch the data from the microcontroller into the
transmit section at the exact required data rate. See the Gaussian Frequency Shift Keying (GFSK) section.
A Divided-Down Version of the Crystal Reference with Output Driver. The digital clock output can be used to
drive several other CMOS inputs such as a microcontroller clock. The output has a 50:50 mark-space ratio.
This pin provides the Lock_Detect signal, which is used to determine if the PLL is locked to the correct
frequency. Other signals include Regulator_Ready, which is an indicator of the status of the serial interface
regulator.
The reference crystal should be connected between this pin and OSC1. A TCXO reference can be used by

FREQUENCY SYNTHESIZER
REFERENCE INPUT SECTION
R Counter
The on-board crystal oscillator circuitry (Figure 5) can use an
inexpensive quartz crystal as the PLL reference. The oscillator
circuit is enabled by setting R1_DB12 high. It is enabled by
default on power-up and is disabled by bringing CE low. Errors
in the crystal can be corrected using the automatic frequency
control (see the AFC Section) feature or by adjusting the
fractional-N value (see the N Counter section). A single-ended
reference (TCXO, CXO) can also be used. The CMOS levels
should be applied to OSC2 with R1_DB12 set low.
The 3-bit R counter divides the reference input frequency by an
integer from 1 to 7. The divided-down signal is presented as the
reference clock to the phase frequency detector (PFD). The
divide ratio is set in Register 1. Maximizing the PFD frequency
reduces the N value. This reduces the noise multiplied at a rate
of 20 log(N) to the output, as well as reducing occurrences of
spurious components. The R Register defaults to R = 1 on
power-up:

Regulator Ready
Two parallel resonant capacitors are required for oscillation at
the correct frequency; their values are dependent on the crystal
specification. They should be chosen so that the series value of
capacitance added to the PCB track capacitance adds up to the
load capacitance of the crystal, usually 20 pF. Track capacitance
values vary from 2 pF to 5 pF, depending on board layout.
Where possible, choose capacitors that have a very low
temperature coefficient to ensure stable frequency operation
over all conditions.
REGULATOR READY is the default setting on MUXOUT after
the transceiver has been powered up. The power-up time of the
regulator is typically 50 µs. Because the serial interface is
powered from the regulator, the regulator must be at its nominal
voltage before the ADF7020 can be programmed. The status of
the regulator can be monitored at MUXOUT. When the
REGULATOR READY signal on MUXOUT is high,
programming of the ADF7020 can begin.
DVDD
CLKOUT Divider and Buffer
The CLKOUT circuit takes the reference clock signal from the
oscillator section, shown in Figure 5, and supplies a divideddown 50:50 mark-space signal to the CLKOUT pin. An even
divide from 2 to 30 is available. This divide number is set in
R1_DB(8:11). On power-up, the CLKOUT defaults to
divide-by-8.

To disable CLKOUT, set the divide number to 0. The output
buffer can drive up to a 20 pF load with a 10% rise time at
4.8 MHz. Faster edges can result in some spurious feedthrough
to the output. A small series resistor (50 Ω) can be used to slow
the clock edges to reduce these spurs at FCLK.
Digital lock detect is active high. The lock detect circuit is
located at the PFD. When the phase error on five consecutive
cycles is less than 15 ns, lock detect is set high. Lock detect
remains high until 25 ns phase error is detected at the PFD.
Because no external components are needed for digital lock
detect, it is more widely used than analog lock detect.

Preliminary Technical Data
Analog Lock Detect
This N-channel open-drain lock detect should be operated with
an external pull-up resistor of 10 kΩ nominal. When a lock has
been detected, this output is high with narrow low-going pulses.
For GFSK, it is recommended that an LBW of 2.0 to 2.5 times
the data rate be used to ensure that sufficient samples are taken
of the input data while filtering system noise. The free design
tool ADIsimPLL can be used to design loop filters for the
ADF7020.
Voltage Regulators
N Counter
The ADF7020 contains four regulators to supply stable voltages
to the part. The nominal regulator voltage is 2.3 V. Each
regulator should have a 100 nF capacitor connected between
VREG and GND. When CE is high, the regulators and other
associated circuitry are powered on, drawing a total supply
current of 2 mA. Bringing the chip-enable pin low disables the
regulators, reduces the supply current to less than 1 µA, and
erases all values held in the registers. The serial interface
operates off a regulator supply; therefore, to write to the part,
the user must have CE high and the regulator voltage must be
stabilized. Regulator status (VREG4) can be monitored using
the regulator ready signal from MUXOUT.
The feedback divider in the ADF7020 PLL consists of an 8-bit
integer counter and a 14-bit Σ-∆ fractional-N divider. The
integer counter is the standard pulse-swallow type common in
PLLs. This sets the minimum integer divide value to 31. The
fractional divide value gives very fine resolution at the output,
where the output frequency of the PLL is calculated as

The combination of the integer-N (maximum = 255) and the

divider of 255 + 1. Therefore, the minimum usable PFD is
Figure 8. Typical Loop Filter Configuration
In FSK, the loop should be designed so that the loop bandwidth
(LBW) is approximately five times the data rate. Widening the
LBW excessively reduces the time spent jumping between
frequencies, but can cause insufficient spurious attenuation.
PDFMIN [Hz] = Maximum Required Output Frequency/(255 + 1)
For example, when operating in the European 868 MHz to
870 MHz band, PFDMIN equals 3.4 MHz.
Voltage Controlled Oscillator (VCO)
For ASK systems, a wider LBW is recommended. The sudden
large transition between two power levels might result in VCO
pulling and can cause a wider output spectrum than is desired.
By widening the LBW to more than 10 times the data rate, the
amount of VCO pulling is reduced, because the loop settles
quickly back to the correct frequency. The wider LBW might
restrict the output power and data rate of ASK-based systems
compared with FSK-based systems.
Narrow-loop bandwidths can result in the loop taking long
periods of time to attain lock. Careful design of the loop filter is
critical to obtaining accurate FSK/GFSK modulation.
To minimize spurious emissions, the on-chip VCO operates
from 1732 MHz to 1856 MHz. The VCO signal is then divided
by 2 to give the required frequency for the transmitter and the
required LO frequency for the receiver.
The VCO should be recentered, depending on the required
frequency of operation, by programming the VCO adjust bits
R1_DB(20:21).
The VCO is enabled as part of the PLL by the PLL-enable bit,
R0_DB28.
A further frequency divide-by-2 is included to allow operation
in the lower 433 MHz and 460 MHz bands. To enable operation
in the these bands, R1_DB13 should be set to 1. The VCO needs
an external 22 nF between the VCO and the regulator to reduce
internal noise.

VCO bias current can be adjusted using Bits R1_DB19 to

The fractional-N PLL allows the selection of any channel within
868 MHz to 928 MHz (and 433MHz using divide-by-2) to a
resolution of <100 Hz. This also facilitates frequency hopping
systems.

Careful selection of the RF transmit channels must be made to
achieve best spurious performance. The architecture of
fractional-N results in some level of the nearest integer channel
moving through the loop to the RF output. These “beat-note”
spurs are not attenuated by the loop, if the desired RF channel
and the nearest integer channel are separated by a frequency of
less than the LBW.
The occurrence of beat-note spurs is rare, because the integer
frequencies are at multiples of the reference, which is typically
>10 MHz.
Beat-note spurs can be significantly reduced in amplitude by
avoiding very small or very large values in the fractional
register, using the frequency doubler. By having a channel
1 MHz away from an integer frequency, a 100 kHz loop filter
can reduce the level to <−45 dBc. When using an external VCO,
the fast lock (bleed) function reduces the spurs to <−60 dBc for
the same conditions.

ADF7020
Preliminary Technical Data
TRANSMITTER
RF OUTPUT STAGE
The PA of the ADF7020 is based on a single-ended, controlled
current, open-drain amplifier that has been designed to deliver
up to 13 dBm into a 50 Ω load at a maximum frequency of
928 MHz.
The PA output current and, consequently, the output power are
programmable over a wide range. The PA configurations in
FSK/GFSK and ASK/OOK modulation modes are shown in
Figure 11 and Figure 12, respectively. In FSK/GFSK modulation
mode, the output power is independent of the state of the
DATA_IO pin. In ASK/OOK modulation mode, it is dependent
on the state of the DATA_IO pin and Bit R2_DB29, which
selects the polarity of the TxData input. For each transmission
mode, the output power can be adjusted as follows:
•
FSK/GFSK: The output power is set using bits
R2_DB(9:14).
•
ASK: The output power for the inactive state of the TxData
input is set by Bits R2_DB(15:20). The output power for the
active state of the TxData input is set by Bits R2_DB(9:14).
•
The PA is equipped with overvoltage protection, which makes it
robust in severe mismatch conditions. Depending on the
application, one can design a matching network for the PA to
exhibit optimum efficiency at the desired radiated output power
level for a wide range of different antennas, such as loop or
monopole antennas. See the LNA/PA Matching section for
details.
PA Bias Currents and Mute PA until Lock Bit
Control Bits R2_DB(30:31) facilitate an adjustment of the PA
bias current to further extend the output power control range, if
necessary. If this feature is not required, the default value of
7 µA is recommended. The output stage is powered down by
resetting Bit R2_DB4. To reduce the level of undesired spurious
emissions, the PA can be muted during the PLL lock phase by
setting Bit R2_DB5 (mute PA until lock bit).
MODULATION SCHEMES
OOK: The output power for the active state of the TxData
input is set by Bits R2_DB(9:14). The PA is muted when the
TxData input is inactive.
Frequency Shift Keying (FSK)
Frequency shift keying is implemented by setting the N value
for the center frequency and then toggling this with the TxData
line. The deviation from the center frequency is set using Bits
R2_DB(15:23). The deviation from the center frequency in Hz

Gaussian Frequency Shift Keying (GFSK)
Amplitude Shift Keying (ASK)
Gaussian frequency shift keying reduces the bandwidth
occupied by the transmitted spectrum by digitally prefiltering
the TxData. A TxCLK output line is provided from the
ADF7020 for synchronization of TxData from the microcontroller. The TxCLK line can be connected to the clock input
of a shift register that clocks data to the transmitter at the exact
data rate.
Amplitude shift keying is implemented by switching the output
stage between two discrete power levels. This is accomplished
by toggling the DAC, which controls the output level between
two 6-bit values set up in Register 2. A zero TxData bit sends
Bits R2_DB(15:20) to the DAC. A high TxData bit sends Bits
R2_DB(9:14) to the DAC. A maximum modulation depth of
30 dB is possible.
Setting Up the ADF7020 for GFSK
On-Off Keying (OOK)
To set up the frequency deviation, set the PFD and the mod
control bits:
On-off keying is implemented by switching the output stage to a
certain power level for a high TxData bit and switching the
output stage off for a zero. For OOK, the transmitted power for
a high input is programmed using Bits R2_DB(9:14).

For further information, see the application note, Using GFSK
on the ADF7010, in the EVAL-ADF7010EB1 Technical Note.
Gaussian on-off keying represents a prefiltered form of OOK
modulation. The usually sharp symbol transitions are replaced
with smooth Gaussian filtered transitions, the result being a
reduction in frequency pulling of the VCO. Frequency pulling
of the VCO in OOK mode can lead to a wider than desired BW,
especially if it is not possible to increase the loop filter BW >
300 kHz. The G-OOK sampling clock samples data at the data
rate. (See the Setting Up the ADF7020 for GFSK section.)

Preliminary Technical Data
RECEIVER SECTION
RF FRONT END
Based on the specific sensitivity and linearity requirements of
the application, it is recommended to adjust control bits
LNA_mode (R6_DB15) and mixer_linearity (R6_DB18) as
outlined in Table 5.
The ADF7020 is based on a fully integrated, low IF receiver
architecture. The low IF architecture facilitates a very low
external component count and does not suffer from power-lineinduced interference problems.
The gain of the LNA is configured by the LNA_gain field,
R9_DB(20:21), and can be set by either the user or the AGC
logic.
Figure 14 shows the structure of the receiver front end. The
many programming options allow users to trade off sensitivity,
linearity, and current consumption against each other in the
way best suitable for their applications. To achieve a high level
of resilience against spurious reception, the LNA features a
differential input. Switch SW2 shorts the LNA input when
transmit mode is selected (R0_DB27 = 0). This feature
facilitates the design of a combined LNA/PA matching network,
avoiding the need for an external Rx/Tx switch. See the LNA/PA
Matching section for details on the design of the matching
network.
IF Filter Settings/Calibration
Out-of-band interference is rejected by means of a fourth-order
Butterworth polyphase IF filter centered around a frequency of
200 kHz. The bandwidth of the IF filter can be programmed
between 100 kHz and 200 kHz by means of Control Bits
R1_DB(22:23), and should be chosen as a compromise between
interference rejection, attenuation of the desired signal, and the
AFC pull-in range.
To compensate for manufacturing tolerances, the IF filter
should be calibrated once after power-up. The IF filter
calibration logic requires that the IF filter divider in Bits
R6_DB(20:28) be set dependent on the crystal frequency. Once
initiated by setting Bit R6_DB19, the calibration is performed
automatically without any user intervention. The calibration
time is 200 µs, during which the ADF7020 should not be
accessed. It is important not to initiate the calibration cycle
before the crystal oscillator has fully settled. If the AGC loop is
disabled, the gain of IF filter can be set to three levels using the
filter_gain field, R9_DB(20:21). The filter gain is adjusted
automatically, if the AGC loop is enabled.

Figure 14. ADF7020 RF Front End
The signal in the image channel of the low IF mixer, located at a
frequency of 400 kHz below the desired channel, is rejected due
to the image rejection of the polyphase filter. The image
rejection performance of the IF filter is subject to manufacturing tolerances, and, to some extent, temperature drift. To
improve the image rejection, a calibration procedure can be
performed as outlined in the Image Rejection Calibration
section.
The LNA is followed by a quadrature downconversion mixer,
which converts the RF signal to the IF frequency of 200 kHz. It
is important to consider that the output frequency of the
synthesizer must be programmed to a value 200 kHz below the
center frequency of the received channel.
The LNA has two basic operating modes: high gain/low noise
mode and low gain/low power mode. To switch between these
two modes, use the LNA_mode bit, R6_DB15. The mixer is also
configurable between a low current and an enhanced linearity
mode using the mixer_linearity bit, R6_DB18.

RSSI Formula (Converting to dBm)
RSSI/AGC SECTION
The RSSI is implemented as a successive compression log amp
following the base-band channel filtering. The log amp achieves
±3 dB log linearity. It also doubles as a limiter to convert the
signal-to-digital levels for the FSK demodulator. The RSSI itself
is used for amplitude shift keying (ASK) demodulation. In ASK
mode, extra digital filtering is performed on the RSSI value.
Offset correction is achieved using a switched capacitor integrator in feedback around the log amp. This uses the BB offset
clock divide. The RSSI level is converted for user readback and
digitally controlled AGC by an 80-level (7-bit) flash ADC. This
level can be converted to input power in dBm.

Figure 15. RSSI Block Diagram
RSSI Thresholds
When the RSSI is above AGC_HIGH_THRESHOLD, the gain is
reduced. When the RSSI is below AGC_LOW_THRESHOLD,
the gain is increased. A delay (AGC_DELAY) is programmed to
allow for settling of the loop. The user programs the two
threshold values (recommended defaults, 27 and 76) and the
delay (default, 10). The default AGC setup values should be
adequate for most applications. The threshold values must be
chosen to be more than 30 apart for the AGC to operate
correctly.
Offset Correction Clock
In Register 3, the user should set the BB offset clock divide bits
R3_DB(4:5) to give an offset clock between 1 MHz and 2 MHz,
where:
BBOS _CLK [Hz] = XTAL/(BBOS_CLK_DIVIDE)
BBOS_CLK_DIVIDE can be set to 4, 8, or 16.
FSK DEMODULATORS ON THE ADF7020
The two FSK demodulators on the ADF7020 are
•
FSK correlator/demodulator
•
Linear demodulator
Select these using the demod select bits, R4_DB(4:5).
FSK CORRELATOR/DEMODULATOR
The quadrature outputs of the IF filter are first limited and then
fed to a pair of digital frequency correlators that perform bandpass filtering of the binary FSK frequencies at (IF + FDEV) and
(IF − FDEV). Data is recovered by comparing the output levels
from each of the two correlators. The performance of this
frequency discriminator approximates that of a matched filter
detector, which is known to provide optimum detection in the
presence of AWGN.
FREQUENCY CORRELATOR
AGC Information
In Register 9, the user should select automatic gain control by
selecting auto in R9_DB18 and auto in R9_DB19. The user
should then program AGC low threshold R9_DB(4:10) and
AGC high threshold R9_DB(11:17). The recommended/default
values for the low and high thresholds are 30 and 70, respectively. In the AGC2 register the user should program the AGC
delay to be long enough to allow the loop to settle. The
recommended value is 10.

Preliminary Technical Data
Postdemodulator Filter
A second-order, digital low-pass filter removes excess noise
from the demodulated bit stream at the output of the
discriminator. The bandwidth of this postdemodulator filter is
programmable and must be optimized for the user’s data rate. If
the bandwidth is set too narrow, performance is degraded due
to intersymbol interference (ISI). If the bandwidth is set too
wide, excess noise degrades the receiver’s performance.
Typically, the 3 dB bandwidth of this filter is set at
approximately 0.75 times the user’s data rate, using Bits
R4_DB(6:15).
Bit Slicer
The received data is recovered by threshold detecting the output
of the postdemodulator low-pass filter. In the correlator/
demodulator, the binary output signal levels of the frequency
discriminator are always centered on zero. Therefore, the slicer
threshold level can be fixed at zero and the demodulator
performance is independent of the run-length constraints of the
transmit data bit stream. This results in robust data recovery,
which does not suffer from the classic baseline wander
problems that exist in the more traditional FSK demodulators.
Frequency errors are removed by an internal AFC loop that
measures the average IF frequency at the limiter output and
applies a frequency correction value to the fractional-N
synthesizer. This loop should be activated when the frequency
errors are greater than approximately 40% of the transmit
frequency deviation (see the AFC Section).
To optimize the coefficients of the FSK correlator, two
additional bits, R6_DB14 and R6_DB29, must be assigned. The
value of these bits depends on whether K (as defined above) is
odd or even. These bits are assigned according to Table 7 and
Table 8.

Postdemodulator Bandwidth Register Settings

Post _ Demod _ BWSetting =

DEMOD _ CLK
where FCUTOFF is the target 3 dB bandwidth in Hz of the

the data rate (DR).
Some sample settings for the FSK correlator/demodulator are
DEMOD_CLK = 5 MHz
DR = 9.6 kbps
FDEV = 20 kHz
Therefore,

This method of frequency demodulation is useful when very
short preamble length is required and the system protocol
cannot support the overhead of the settling time of the internal
feedback AFC loop settling.
A digital frequency discriminator provides an output signal that
is linearly proportional to the frequency of the limiter outputs.
The discriminator output is then filtered and averaged using a
combined averaging filter and envelope detector. The demodulated FSK data is recovered by threshold-detecting the output of
the averaging filter, as shown in Figure 17. In this mode, the
slicer output shown in Figure 17 is routed to the data synchronizer PLL for clock synchronization. To enable the linear FSK
demodulator, set Bits R4_DB(4:5) to [00].
The 3 dB bandwidth of the postdemodulation filter is set in the

The ADF7020 supports a real-time AFC loop, which is used to
remove frequency errors that can arise due to mismatches
between the transmit and receive crystals. This uses the
frequency discriminator block, as described in the Linear FSK
Demodulator section (see Figure 17). The discriminator output
is filtered and averaged to remove the FSK frequency
modulation using a combined averaging filter and envelope
detector. In FSK mode, the output of the envelope detector
provides an estimate of the average IF frequency.
Two methods of AFC, external and internal, are supported on
the ADF7020 (in FSK mode only).
External AFC
The user reads back the frequency information through the
ADF7020 serial port and applies a frequency correction value to
the fractional-N synthesizer’s N divider.
The frequency information is obtained by reading the 16-bit
signed AFC_readback, as described in the Readback Format
section, and applying the following formula:
FREQ_RB [Hz] = (AFC_READBACK × DEMOD_CLK)/215
Note that while the AFC_READBACK value is a signed number,
under normal operating conditions it is positive. In the absence
of frequency errors, the FREQ_RB value is equal to the IF
frequency of 200 kHz.
Internal AFC
where:
FCUTOFF is the target 3 dB bandwidth in Hz of the
postdemodulator filter.
DEMOD_CLK is as defined in the Register 3—Receiver Clock
Register section, Note 2.
The ADF7020 supports a real-time internal automatic
frequency control loop. In this mode, an internal control loop
automatically monitors the frequency error and adjusts the
synthesizer N divider using an internal PI control loop.
The internal AFC control loop parameters are controlled in
Register 11. The internal AFC loop is activated by setting
R11_DB20 to 1. A scaling coefficient must also be entered,
based on the crystal frequency in use. This is set up in
R11_DB(4:19) and should be calculated using
ASK/OOK Operation
ASK/OOK demodulation is activated by setting Bits
R4_DB(4:5) to [10].
Digital filtering and envelope detecting the digitized RSSI input
via MUX 1, as shown in Figure 17, perform ASK/OOK
demodulation. The bandwidth of the digital filter must be
optimized to remove any excess noise without causing ISI in the
received ASK/OOK signal.
AFC_Scaling_Coefficient = (500 × 224)/XTAL
Therefore, using a 10 MHz XTAL yields an AFC scaling
coefficient of 839.
Rev. PrH | Page 19 of 40
ADF7020
Preliminary Technical Data
Maximum AFC Range
The maximum AFC frequency range is ±100 kHz. This is set by
the maximum IF filter bandwidth of 200 kHz. Using the
minimum IF filter bandwidth of 100 kHz, the AFC range is
±50 kHz.
When AFC errors have been removed using either the internal
or external AFC, further improvement in the receiver’s sensitivity can be obtained by reducing the IF filter bandwidth using
Bits R1_DB(22:23).
AUTOMATIC SYNC WORD RECOGNITION
The ADF7020 also supports automatic detection of the sync or
ID fields. To activate this mode, the sync (or ID) word must be
preprogrammed into the ADF7020. In receive mode, this
preprogrammed word is compared to the received bit stream
and, when a valid match is identified, the external pin
INT/LOCK is asserted by the ADF7020.
This feature can be used to alert the microprocessor that a valid
channel has been detected. It relaxes the computational
requirements of the microprocessor and reduces the overall
power consumption. The INT/LOCK is automatically deasserted again after nine data clock cycles.
The automatic sync/ID word detection feature is enabled by
selecting demod mode 2 or 3 in the demodulator setup register.
Do this by setting R4_DB(25:23) = [010] or [011]. Bits
R5_DB(4:5) are used to set the length of the sync/ID word,
which can be either 12, 16, 20, or 24 bits long. The transmitter
must transmit the MSB of the sync byte first and the LSB last to
ensure proper alignment in the receiver sync byte detection
hardware.
For systems using FEC, an error tolerance parameter can also be
programmed that accepts a valid match when up to three bits of
the word are incorrect. The error tolerance value is assigned in
R5_DB(6:7).

APPLICATIONS SECTION
LNA/PA MATCHING
The ADF7020 exhibits optimum performance in terms of
sensitivity, transmit power, and current consumption only if its
RF input and output ports are properly matched to the antenna
impedance. For cost-sensitive applications, the ADF7020 is
equipped with an internal Rx/Tx switch, which facilitates the
use of a simple combined passive PA/LNA matching network.
Alternatively, an external Rx/Tx switch such as the Analog
Devices ADG919 can be used, which yields a slightly improved
receiver sensitivity and lower transmitter power consumption.
External Rx/Tx Switch
Figure 18 shows a configuration using an external Rx/Tx switch.
This configuration allows an independent optimization of the
matching and filter network in the transmit and receive path,
and is, therefore, more flexible and less difficult to design than
the configuration using the internal Rx/Tx switch. The PA is
biased through inductor L1, while C1 blocks dc current. Both
elements, L1 and C1, also form the matching network, which
transforms the source impedance into the optimum PA load
impedance, ZOPT_PA.
networks in a back-to-back configuration. Due to the
asymmetry of the network with respect to ground, a compromise between the input reflection coefficient and the maximum
differential signal swing at the LNA input must be established.
The use of appropriate CAD software is strongly recommended
for this optimization.
Depending on the antenna configuration, the user might need a
harmonic filter at the PA output to satisfy the spurious emission
requirement of the applicable government regulations. The
harmonic filter can be implemented in various ways, such as a
discrete LC-filter. Dielectric low-pass filter components such as
the LFL18924MTC1A052 (for operation in the 915 MHz band),
or LFL18869MTC2A160 (for operation in the 868 MHz band),
both by Murata Mfg. Co., Ltd., represent an attractive alternative
to discrete designs. The immunity of the ADF7020 to strong
out-of-band interference can be improved by adding a bandpass filter in the Rx path. Apart from discrete designs, SAW or
dielectric filter components such as the
SAFCH869MAM0T00B0S, SAFCH915MAL0N00B0S,
DCFB2869MLEJAA-TT1, or DCFB3915MLDJAA-TT1, all by
Murata Mfg. Co., Ltd., are well suited for this purpose.

Figure 19 shows the ADF7020 in a configuration where the
internal Rx/Tx switch is used with a combined LNA/PA
matching network. Depending on the application, the slight
performance degradation caused by the internal Rx/Tx switch
might be acceptable, allowing the user to take advantage of the
cost-saving potential of this solution. The design of the
combined matching network must compensate for the
reactance presented by the networks in the Tx and the Rx paths,
taking the state of the Rx/Tx switch into consideration.
VBAT
Figure 18. ADF7020 with External Rx/Tx Switch
ZOPT_PA depends on various factors such as the required output
power, the frequency range, the supply voltage range, and the
temperature range. Selecting an appropriate ZOPT_PA helps to
minimize the Tx current consumption in the application. This
datasheet contains a number of ZOPT_PA values for representative conditions. Under certain conditions, however, it is
recommended to obtain a suitable ZOPT_PA value by means of a
load-pull measurement.
Due to the differential LNA input, the LNA matching network
must be designed to provide both a single-ended to differential
conversion and a complex conjugate impedance match. The
network with the lowest component count that can satisfy these
requirements is the configuration shown in Figure 18, which
consists of two capacitors and one inductor. A first-order
implementation of the matching network can be obtained by
understanding the arrangement as two L-type matching

TRANSMIT PROTOCOL AND CODING
CONSIDERATIONS
Figure 20. Typical Format of a Transmit Protocol
IMAGE REJECTION CALIBRATION
The image channel in this receiver, with an IF at 200 kHz, is at
−200 kHz or +400 kHz below the desired signal. The polyphase
filter rejects this image with an asymmetric frequency response.
The image rejection performance of the receiver is dependent
on how well matched in amplitude the I and Q signals are, and
how perfect the quadrature is between them, that is, how close
to 90° apart they are. The uncalibrated image rejection performance is approximately 30 dB. However, it is possible to improve
on this performance by adjusting the I/Q phase/gain adjust bits
in Register 10, resulting in an image rejection of approximately
45 dB.
Bits R10_DB(24:27) adjust the relative phase of the signal
and Bits R10_DB(16:20) adjust the relative amplitude (see
Figure 20).
A dc-free preamble pattern is recommended for FSK/ASK/
OOK demodulation. The recommended preamble pattern is a
dc-free pattern such as a 10101010… pattern. Preamble patterns
with longer run-length constraints such as 11001100…. can also
be used. However, this results in a longer synchronization time
of the received bit stream in the receiver.
Manchester coding can be used for the entire transmit protocol.
However, the remaining fields that follow the preamble header
do not have to use dc-free coding. For these fields, the ADF7020
can accommodate coding schemes with a run-length of up to
6 bits without any performance degradation.
If longer run-length coding must be supported, the ADF7020
has several other features that can be activated. These involve a
range of programmable options that allow the envelope detector
output to be frozen after preamble acquisition.

Preliminary Technical Data
SERIAL INTERFACE
RSSI Readback
The serial interface allows the user to program the eleven 32-bit
registers using a 3-wire interface (SCLK, SDATA, and SLE). It
consists of a level shifter, 32-bit shift register and eleven latches.
Signals should be CMOS compatible. The serial interface is
powered by the regulator, and, therefore, is inactive when CE is
low.
The RSSI readback operation yields valid results in Rx mode
with ASK or FSK signals. The format of the readback word is
shown in Figure 25. It is comprised of the RSSI level information (Bits RV1 to RV7), the current filter gain (FG1, FG2), and
the current LNA gain (LG1, LG2) setting. The filter and LNA
gain are coded in accordance with the definitions in Register 9.
With the reception of ASK modulated signals, averaging of the
measured RSSI values improves accuracy. The input power can
be calculated from the RSSI readback value as outlined in the
RSSI/AGC Section.
Data is clocked into the register, MSB first, on the rising edge of
each clock (SCLK). Data is transferred to one of eleven latches
on the rising edge of SLE. The destination latch is determined
by the value of the four control bits (C4 to C1). These are the
bottom four LSBs, DB3 to DB0, as shown in the timing diagram
in Figure 2. Data can also be read back on the SREAD pin.
Battery Voltage ADCIN/Temperature Sensor Readback
The battery voltage is measured at Pin VDD4. The readback
information is contained in Bits RV1 to RV7. This also applies
for the readback of the voltage at the ADCIN pin and the
temperature sensor. From the readback information, the battery
or ADCIN voltage can be determined using
READBACK FORMAT
The readback operation is initiated by writing a valid control
word to the readback register and setting the readback-enable
bit (R7_DB8 = 1). The readback can begin after the control
word has been latched with the SLE signal. SLE must be kept
high while the data is being read out. Each active edge at the
SCLK pin clocks the readback word out successively at the
SREAD pin, as shown in Figure 25, starting with the MSB first.
The data appearing at the first clock cycle following the latch
operation must be ignored.
VBATTERY = (Battery_Voltage_Readback)/21.1
VADCIN = (ADCIN_Voltage_Readback)/42.1
Silicon Revision Readback
The silicon revision readback word is valid without setting any
other registers, especially directly after power-up. The silicon
revision word is coded with four quartets in BCD format. The
product code (PC) is coded with two quartets extending from
Bits RV9 to RV16. The revision code (RV) is coded with two
quartets extending from Bits RV1 to RV8. The product code
should read back as PC = #20h. The current revision code
should read as RC = #30h.
AFC Readback
The AFC readback is valid only during the reception of FSK
signals with either the linear or correlator demodulator active.
The AFC readback value is formatted as a signed 16-bit integer
comprised of Bits RV1 to RV16, and is scaled according to the
following formula:
Filter Calibration Readback
FREQ_RB [Hz] = (AFC_READBACK × DEMOD_CLK)/215
The filter calibration readback word is contained in Bits RV1 to
RV8, and is for diagnostic purposes only. Using the automatic
filter calibration function, accessible through Register 6, is
recommended.
In the absence of frequency errors, the FREQ_RB value is equal
to the IF frequency of 200 kHz. Note that, for the AFC readback
to yield a valid result, the down-converted input signal must not
fall outside the bandwidth of the analogue IF filter. At low-input
signal levels, the variation in the readback value can be
improved by averaging.

Notes :
1.
The cutoff frequency of the postdemodulator filter should typically be 0.75 times the data rate.
2.
Demodulator modes 1, 3, 4, and 5 are modes that can be activated to allow the ADF7020 to demodulate data-encoding schemes that have run-length constraints
greater than 7.
3.
Post_Demod_BW = 211 π FCUTOFF/DEMOD_CLK.
4.
For Mode 5, the timeout delay to lock threshold = (LOCK_THRESHOLD_SETTING)/SEQ_CLK, where SEQ_CLK is defined in the Register 3—Receiver Clock Register
section.

Notes:
1.
Sync byte detect is enabled by programming Bits R4_DB(25:23) to [010] or [011].
2.
This register allows a 28-bit sync byte sequence to be stored internally. If the sync byte detect mode is selected, then the INT/LOCK pin goes high when the sync
byte has been detected in Rx mode. Once the sync word detect signal has gone high, it goes low again after nine data bits.
3.
The transmitter must Tx the MSB of the sync byte first and the LSB last to ensure proper alignment in the receiver sync byte detection hardware.

REGISTER 6—CORRELATOR/DEMODULATOR REGISTER

Notes:
1.
See the FSK Correlator/Demodulator section for an example of how to determine register settings.
2.
Nonadherence to correlator programming guidelines results in poorer sensitivity.
3.
The filter clock is used to calibrate the IF filter. The filter clock divide ratio should be adjusted so that the frequency is 50 kHz. The formula is
XTAL/FILTER_CLOCK_DIVIDE.
4.
The filter should be calibrated only when the crystal oscillator is settled. The filter calibration is initiated every time Bit R6_DB19 is set high.
5.
Discriminator_BW = (DEMOD_CLK × K)/(800 × 103). See the FSK Correlator/Demodulator section.

Notes:
1.
Readback of the measured RSSI value is valid only in Rx mode. Readback of the battery voltage, the temperature sensor, and the voltage at the external pin is not
available in Rx mode, if the ASK demodulator is active or if AGC is enabled.
2.
Readback of the ADC value is valid in Tx mode only if the log amp/RSSI has not been disabled through the power-down bits R8_DB10. The log amp/RSSI section is
active per default upon enabling Tx mode.
3.
Readback of the AFC word is valid in Rx mode only if either the linear demodulator or the correlator/demodulator is active.
4.
See the Readback Format section for more information.

REGISTER 12—TEST REGISTER
Figure 40.
Using the Test DAC on the ADF7020 to Implement
Analog FM DEMOD and Measuring SNR
Programming the test register, Register 12, enables the test DAC.
Both the linear and correlator/demodulator outputs can be
multiplexed into the DAC.
The test DAC allows the output of the postdemodulator filter
for both the linear and correlator/demodulators (Figure 16 and
Figure 17) to be viewed externally. It takes the 16-bit filter
output and converts it to a high frequency, single-bit output
using a second-order error feedback Σ-∆ converter. The output
can be viewed on the XCLKOUT pin. This signal, when IF filtered
appropriately, can then be used to
Setting Up the Test DAC
•
•
Digital test modes = 7: enables the test DAC, with no offset
removal.
•
Digital test modes = 10: enables the test DAC, with offset
removal.
•
Monitor the signals at the FSK/ASK postdemodulator filter
output. This allows the demodulator output SNR to be
measured. Eye diagrams can also be constructed of the
received bit stream to measure the received signal quality.
Provide analog FM demodulation.
While the correlators and filters are clocked by DEMOD_CLK,
CDR_CLK clocks the test DAC. Note that, although the test
DAC functions in a regular user mode, the best performance is
achieved when the CDR_CLK is increased up to or above the
frequency of DEMOD_CLK. The CDR block does not function
when this condition exists.
Register 13 allows a fixed offset term to be removed from the
signal (to remove the IF component in the ddt case). It also has
a signal gain term to allow the usage of the maximum dynamic
range of the DAC.
The output of the active demodulator drives the DAC, that is, if
the FSK correlator/demodulator is selected, the correlator filter
output drives the DAC.

Note:
1.
Because the linear demodulator’s output is proportional to frequency, it usually consists of an offset combined with a relatively low signal. The offset can be
removed, up to a maximum of 1.0 and gained to use the full dynamic range of the DAC:
DAC_input = (2^ Test_DAC_Gain) × (Signal − Test_DAC_Offset_Removal/4096)
