This device can operate in either Encode or Decode mode. It uses 1kbps differential Manchester bit balancing with preamble and checksum. CTR124 is specifically designed to be used in RF remote control applications. It is available in 28pin SO and DIL packages.

If a low going pulse of between 10µs and 50ms is applied to SEND pin then a single packet will be transmitted 2. After asserting TXE low (active), the encoder allows 55ms for NBFM TX to power up and settle 3. TXE is an open drain output (no pull-up). Connect it to Vdd via a 10kΩ pull-up resistor 4. OSC1,2 require a 3.58MHz ceramic resonator with internal capacitors like Murata CSTLA3M58G55-B0. If a 2 pin resonator or crystal is used, then two 15pF-22pF caps are needed: one from OSC1 to 0V another from OSC2 to 0V. 100Ω series resistor between OSC2 and crystal may be required when driving low frequency crystal with High Speed (H) CTR124H version. 5. Not suitable for non-standard logic levels, require external pullup resistors. 6. Absolute maximum source/sink current from each DA0-DA7, DB0-DB3 and A0-A3 pins is 25mA. Absolute maximum total current from DA0-DA7 port and DB0-DB3, A0-A3 port is 200mA 7. MODE pin is only read at reset/power up. Connect to either Vdd (Encoder) or 0V (Decoder). 8. Without external loads the CTR124 draws <2mA from 5V supply 9. Standard version can be used down to 4V for <20MHz oscillator. Low voltage version can be used down to 2V for <4MHz oscillator Radiometrix Ltd Control124 page 2 Decoder Mode Control124 can be put into Decoder Mode by connecting Mode (pin 2) to Ground. 10k 5V supply 470R Receiver RF RXD Vcc GND 3.58MHz 470R 470R 470R 470R Vss OSC1 OSC2 DA0 DA1 DA2 DA3 Contro124 RST LATCH RXD STB MODE NC NC DB3 DB2 DB1 DB0 A3 A2 A1 A0 Vdd Vss DA7 DA6 DA5 DA4 470R 470R 470R 470R 100nF 470R 470R 470R 470R Figure 3: Control124 in Decoder Mode Pin Name 1 2 RST LATCH Input/Outp ut Input Input 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 - 18 19 20 RXD STB MODE NC NC VSS OSC2 OSC1 DA0 - DA7 VSS VDD Input Output Input Supply Output Input Output Supply Supply 21 - 24 25 - 28 A0 - A3 DB0 - DB3 Input Output Description Active Low Reset (Connect to user system reset or tie to Vdd) 0V = latch DA3:D0 until next packet Vdd = clear DA3:DA0 after 150ms (no pull-up) Encoded Address and Data from RXD Output of RF Receiver Positive going pulse on reception of valid data packet. 10µs duration RX=0V, TX=Vdd (no pull-up, only read at reset/power up) Supply Ground 3.58MHz resonator1 3.58MHz resonator1 8 bits of Data A2 Supply Ground 4.5-5.5V supply (decouple with 0.1µF close to IC) 2.0V-5.5V (low voltage version) Least significant 4 bits of Address (Internal pull-ups to Vdd)2 Least significant 4 bits of Data B2 Notes: 1.

Standard version can be used down to 4V for <20MHz oscillator. Low voltage version can be used down to 2V for <4MHz oscillator. 6. High Speed, CTR124H, version should not be used with Narrow Band FM radio modules. Radiometrix Ltd Control124 page 3 Encoded Data Packet Format Transmission format is 1kbps differential Manchester encoding when using 3.58MHz resonator. Oscillator frequency can decreased to suit narrow band RF module data rate requirements. CTR124H IC running at 20MHz can be used with wideband radio modules for fast data transmission. 0 0 0 1 0 1 0 1 1 1ms 500µs Figure 4: 1kbps differential Manchester coding of ‘1’ and ‘0’ Control124 transmits a 6-byte burst, with 8 bits of preamble and 4 bits postamble. When firing up the transmitter from cold Control124 puts in an extra 55ms especially for Narrow Band FM transmitter and receiver requiring longer power-up to stable data time. Figure 5: Push button transmission with 55ms power-up preamble The large amount of sync code, address and checksum reduce the likelihood of false calling on noise to an insignificant degree, while the breaking up of the data sequences with bit7 zeros is to reduce the likelihood of the decoder mistaking particular sequences in the data for sync codes. Radiometrix Ltd Control124 page 4 Differential Manchester encoding coverts the 0000 into 11001100 which is the bit pattern equivalent to preamble required to settle adaptive data slicer in the RF receiver module.
