19-3706; Rev 0; 5/05 Low-Cost, 315MHz, 345MHz, and 433.92MHz ASK Transceiver with Fractional-N PLL The MAX7030 crystal-based, fractional-N transceiver is designed to transmit and receive ASK/OOK data at factory-preset carrier frequencies of 315MHz, 345MHz†, or 433.92MHz with data rates up to 33kbps (Manchester encoded) or 66kbps (NRZ encoded). This device generates a typical output power of +10dBm into a 50Ω load, and exhibits typical sensitivity of -114dBm. The MAX7030 features separate transmit and receive pins (PAOUT and LNAIN) and provides an internal RF switch that can be used to connect the transmit and receive pins to a common antenna. The MAX7030 transmit frequency is generated by a 16bit, fractional-N, phase-locked loop (PLL), while the receiver’s local oscillator (LO) is generated by an integer-N PLL. This hybrid architecture eliminates the need for separate transmit and receive crystal reference oscillators because the fractional-N PLL is preset to be 10.7MHz above the receive LO. Retaining the fixed-N PLL for the receiver avoids the higher current-drain requirements of a fractional-N PLL and keeps the receiver current drain as low as possible. All frequencygeneration components are integrated on-chip, and only a crystal, a 10.7MHz IF filter, and a few discrete components are required to implement a complete antenna/digital data solution. The MAX7030 is available in a small, 5mm x 5mm, 32pin thin QFN package, and is specified to operate over the automotive -40°C to +125°C temperature range.

Detailed Description The MAX7030 315MHz, 345MHz, and 433.92MHz CMOS transceiver and a few external components provide a complete transmit and receive chain from the antenna to the digital data interface. This device is designed for transmitting and receiving ASK data. All transmit frequencies are generated by a fractional-Nbased synthesizer, allowing for very fine frequency steps in increments of fXTAL / 4096. The receive LO is generated by a traditional integer-N-based synthesizer. Depending on component selection, data rates as high as 33kbps (Manchester encoded) or 66kbps (NRZ encoded) can be achieved. Receiver Low-Noise Amplifier (LNA) The LNA is a cascode amplifier with off-chip inductive degeneration that achieves approximately 30dB of voltage gain that is dependent on both the antenna-matching network at the LNA input and the LC tank network between the LNA output and the mixer inputs. The off-chip inductive degeneration is achieved by connecting an inductor from LNASRC to AGND. This inductor sets the real part of the input impedance at LNAIN, allowing for a more flexible match for low-input impedances such as a PC board trace antenna. A nominal value for this inductor with a 50Ω input impedance is 12nH at 315MHz and 10nH at 434MHz, but the inductance is affected by PC board trace length. LNASRC can be shorted to ground to increase sensitivity by approximately 1dB, but the input match must then be reoptimized. 12 The LC tank filter connected to LNAOUT consists of L5 and C9 (see the Typical Application Circuit). Select L5 and C9 to resonate at the desired RF input frequency. The resonant frequency is given by: f= 1 2π L TOTAL × C TOTAL where LTOTAL = L5 + LPARASITICS and CTOTAL = C9 + CPARASITICS. LPARASITICS and CPARASITICS include inductance and capacitance of the PC board traces, package pins, mixer-input impedance, LNA-output impedance, etc. These parasitics at high frequencies cannot be ignored, and can have a dramatic effect on the tank filter center frequency. Lab experimentation should be done to optimize the center frequency of the tank. The total parasitic capacitance is generally between 5pF and 7pF. Automatic Gain Control (AGC) When the AGC is enabled, it monitors the RSSI output. When the RSSI output reaches 1.28V, which corresponds to an RF input level of approximately -55dBm, the AGC switches on the LNA gain-reduction attenuator. The attenuator reduces the LNA gain by 36dB, thereby reducing the RSSI output by about 540mV to 740mV. The LNA resumes high-gain mode when the RSSI output level drops back below 680mV (approximately -59dBm at the RF input) for a programmable interval called the AGC dwell time (see Table 1). The AGC has a hysteresis of approximately 4dB. With the AGC function, the RSSI dynamic range is increased, allowing the MAX7030 to reliably produce an ASK output for RF input levels up to 0dBm with a modulation depth of 18dB. AGC is not required and can be disabled (see Table 1). ______________________________________________________________________________________ Low-Cost, 315MHz, 345MHz, and 433.92MHz ASK Transceiver with Fractional-N PLL AGC2 AGC1 AGC0 0 0 0 AGC disabled, high gain selected DESCRIPTION 0 0 1 K = 11 0 1 0 K = 13 0 1 1 K = 15 1 0 0 K = 17 1 0 1 K = 19 1 1 0 K = 21 1 1 1 K = 23 AGC Dwell-Time Settings The AGC dwell timer holds the AGC in low-gain state for a set amount of time after the power level drops below the AGC switching threshold. After that set amount of time, if the power level is still below the AGC threshold, the LNA goes into high-gain state. This is important for ASK since the modulated data may have a high level above the threshold and low level below the threshold, which without the dwell timer would cause the AGC to switch on every bit. The MAX7030 uses the three AGC control pins (AGC0, AGC1, AGC2) to set seven user-controlled, dwell-timer settings. The AGC dwell time is dependent on the crystal frequency and the bit settings of the AGC control pins. To calculate the dwell time, use the following equation: Dwell Time = 2K fXTAL where K is an odd integer in decimal from 11 to 23, determined by the control pin settings shown in Table 1. To calculate the value of K, use the following equation and use the next integer higher than the calculated result: K ≥ 3.3 x log10 (Dwell Time x fXTAL) For Manchester Code (50% duty cycle), set the dwell time to at least twice the bit period. For nonreturn-tozero (NRZ) data, set the dwell to greater than the period of the longest string of zeros or ones. For example, using Manchester Code at 315MHz (f XTAL = 12.679MHz) with a data rate of 2kbps (bit period = 250µs), the dwell time needs to be greater than 500µs: K ≥ 3.3 x log10 (500µs x 12.679) ≈ 12.546 Choose the AGC pin settings for K to be the next oddinteger value higher than 12.546, which is 13. This says that AGC1 is set high and AGC0 and AGC2 are set low. Mixer A unique feature of the MAX7030 is the integrated image rejection of the mixer. This eliminates the need for a costly front-end SAW filter for many applications. The advantage of not using a SAW filter is increased sensitivity, simplified antenna matching, less board space, and lower cost. The mixer cell is a pair of double-balanced mixers that perform an IQ downconversion of the RF input to the 10.7MHz intermediate frequency (IF) with low-side injection (i.e., fLO = fRF - fIF). The image-rejection circuit then combines these signals to achieve a typical 46dB of image rejection over the full temperature range. Lowside injection is required as high-side injection is not possible due to the on-chip image rejection. The IF output is driven by a source follower, biased to create a driving impedance of 330Ω to interface with an off-chip 330Ω ceramic IF filter. The voltage-conversion gain driving a 330Ω load is approximately 20dB. Note that the MIXIN+ and MIXIN- inputs are functionally identical. Integer-N Phase-Locked Loop (PLL) The MAX7030 utilizes a fixed-integer-N PLL to generate the receive LO. All PLL components, including the loop filter, voltage-controlled oscillator, charge pump, asynchronous 24x divider, and phase-frequency detector are integrated internally. The loop bandwidth is approximately 500kHz. The relationship between RF, IF, and reference frequencies is given by: fREF = (fRF - fIF) / 24 ______________________________________________________________________________________ 13 MAX7030 Table 1. AGC Dwell Time Settings for MAX7030 MAX7030 Low-Cost, 315MHz, 345MHz, and 433.92MHz ASK Transceiver with Fractional-N PLL Intermediate Frequency (IF) The IF section presents a differential 330Ω load to provide matching for the off-chip ceramic filter. The internal six AC-coupled limiting amplifiers produce an overall gain of approximately 65dB, with a bandpass filter type response centered near the 10.7MHz IF frequency with a 3dB bandwidth of approximately 10MHz. For ASK data, the RSSI circuit demodulates the IF to baseband by producing a DC output proportional to the log of the IF signal level with a slope of approximately 15mV/dB. Data Filter The data filter for the demodulated data is implemented as a 2nd-order, lowpass, Sallen-Key filter. The pole locations are set by the combination of two on-chip resistors and two external capacitors. Adjusting the value of the external capacitors changes the corner frequency to optimize for different data rates. Set the corner frequency in kHz to approximately 3 times the fastest expected Manchester data rate in kbps from the transmitter (1.5 times the fastest expected NRZ data rate). Keeping the corner frequency near the data rate rejects any noise at higher frequencies, resulting in an increase in receiver sensitivity. The configuration shown in Figure 1 can create a Butterworth or Bessel response. The Butterworth filter offers a very-flat-amplitude response in the passband and a rolloff rate of 40dB/decade for the two-pole filter. The Bessel filter has a linear phase response, which works well for filtering digital data. To calculate the value of the capacitors, use the following equations, along with the coefficients in Table 2: Data Slicer The data slicer takes the analog output of the data filter and converts it to a digital signal. This is achieved by using a comparator and comparing the analog input to a threshold voltage. The threshold voltage is set by the voltage on the DS- pin, which is connected to the negative input of the data slicer comparator. Numerous configurations can be used to generate the data-slicer threshold. For example, the circuit in Figure 2 shows a simple method using only one resistor and one capacitor. This configuration averages the analog output of the filter and sets the threshold to approximately 50% of that amplitude. With this configuration, the threshold automatically adjusts as the analog signal varies, minimizing the possibility for errors in the digital data. The values of R and C affect how fast the threshold tracks the analog amplitude. Be sure to keep the corner frequency of the RC circuit much lower (about 10 times) than the lowest expected data rate. With this configuration, a long string of NRZ zeros or ones can cause the threshold to drift. This configuration works best if a coding scheme, such as Manchester coding, which has an equal number of zeros and ones, is used. Figure 3 shows a configuration that uses the positive and negative peak detectors to generate the threshold. This configuration sets the threshold to the midpoint between a high output and a low output of the data filter.

Generating Data-Slicer Threshold Using a Lowpass Filter Peak Detectors The maximum peak detector (PDMAX) and minimum peak detector (PDMIN), with resistors and capacitors shown in Figure 3, create DC output voltages equal to the high- and low-peak values of the filtered demodulated signal. The resistors provide a path for the capacitors to discharge, allowing the peak detectors to dynamically follow peak changes of the data filter output voltages. The maximum and minimum peak detectors can be used together to form a data slicer threshold voltage at a value midway between the maximum and minimum voltage levels of the data stream (see the Data Slicer section and Figure 3). Set the RC time constant of the peak detector combining network to at least 5 times the data period. If there is an event that causes a significant change in the magnitude of the baseband signal, such as an AGC gain-switch or a power-up transient, the peak detectors may “catch” a false level. If a false peak is detected, the slicing level is incorrect. The MAX7030 peak detectors correct these problems by temporarily tracking the incoming baseband filter voltage when an AGC state switch occurs, or forcing the peak detectors to track the baseband filter output voltage until all internal circuits are stable following an enable pin low-to-high transition and also T/R pin high-to-low transition. The peak detectors exhibit a fast attack/slow decay response. This feature allows for an extremely fast startup or AGC recovery. Transmitter Power Amplifier (PA) The PA of the MAX7030 is a high-efficiency, opendrain, class-C amplifier. The PA with proper outputmatching network can drive a wide range of antenna impedances, which includes a small-loop PC board C PDMIN R C Figure 3. Generating Data-Slicer Threshold Using the Peak Detectors trace and a 50Ω antenna. The output-matching network for a 50Ω antenna is shown in the Typical Application Circuit. The output-matching network suppresses the carrier harmonics and transforms the antenna impedance to an optimal impedance at PAOUT (pin 5). The optimal impedance at PAOUT is 250Ω. When the output-matching network is properly tuned, the PA transmits power with a high overall efficiency of up to 32%. The efficiency of the PA itself is more than 46%. The output power is set by an external resistor at PAOUT, and is also dependent on the external antenna and antenna-matching network at the PA output. Envelope Shaping The MAX7030 features an internal envelope-shaping resistor, which connects between the open-drain output of the PA and the power supply (see the Typical Application Circuit). The envelope-shaping resistor slows the turn-on/turn-off of the PA in ASK mode, and results in a smaller spectral width of the modulated PA output signal. Fractional-N Phase-Locked Loop (PLL) The MAX7030 utilizes a fully integrated, fractional-N, PLL for its transmit frequency synthesizer. All PLL components, including the loop filter, are integrated internally. The loop bandwidth is approximately 200kHz. Power-Supply Connections The MAX7030 can be powered from a 2.1V to 3.6V supply or a 4.5V to 5.5V supply. If a 4.5V to 5.5V supply is used, then the on-chip linear regulator reduces the 5V supply to the 3V needed to operate the chip. To operate the MAX7030 from a 3V supply, connect PAVDD, AVDD, DVDD, and HVIN to the 3V supply. When using a 5V supply, connect the supply to HVIN only and ______________________________________________________________________________________ 15 fP = Cm 1 1 − x 106 2 CCASE + CLOAD CCASE + CSPEC where: fp is the amount the crystal frequency is pulled in ppm.

In most cases, this corresponds to a 4.5pF load capacitance applied to the external crystal when typical PC board parasitics are added. It is very important to use a crystal with a load capacitance that is equal to the capacitance of the MAX7030 crystal oscillator plus PC board parasitics. If a crystal designed to oscillate with a different load capacitance is used, the crystal is pulled away from its stated operating frequency, introducing an error in the reference frequency. Crystals designed to operate with higher differential load capacitance always pull the reference frequency higher. LNASRC The MAX7030 features an internal SPST RF switch that, when combined with a few external components, allows the transmit and receive pins to share a common antenna (see the Typical Application Circuit). In receive mode, the switch is open and the power amplifier is shut down, presenting a high impedance to minimize the loading of the LNA. In transmit mode, the switch closes to complete a resonant tank circuit at the PA output and forms an RF short at the input to the LNA. In this mode, the external passive components couple the output of the PA to the antenna and protect the LNA input from strong transmitted signals. The switch state is controlled by the T/R pin (pin 22). Drive T/R high to put the device in transmit mode; drive T/R low to put the device in receive mode. Additional pulling can be calculated if the electrical parameters of the crystal are known. The frequency pulling is given by: AVDD Transmit/Receive Antenna Switch In actuality, the oscillator pulls every crystal. The crystal’s natural frequency is really below its specified frequency, but when loaded with the specified load capacitance, the crystal is pulled and oscillates at its specified frequency. This pulling is already accounted for in the specification of the load capacitance. LNAIN connect AVDD, PAVDD, and DVDD together. In both cases, bypass DVDD, HVIN, and PAVDD to GND with 0.01µF and 220pF capacitors and bypass AVDD to GND with 0.1µF and 220pF capacitors. Bypass T/R, ENABLE, DATA, and AGC0-2 with 10pF capacitors to GND. Place all bypass capacitors as close to the respective pins as possible.
