Digital circuitry is functional down to typically 1 V. 2. Measured with optimized matching networks. For information on current consumption in complex modes of operation tailored to your application, see the software AX-RadioLab for AX5243. www.onsemi.com AX5243 11 12 Specifications Note on current consumption in TX mode To achieve best output power the matching network has to be optimized for the desired output power and frequency. As a rule of thumb a good matching network produces about 50% efficiency with the AX5243 power amplifier although over 90% are theoretically possible. A typical matching network has between 1 dB and 2 dB loss (Ploss). The PA is internally multiplexed with the LNA on pins ANTP and ANTN. Therefore constraints for the RX matching have to be considered for the PA matching. The current consumption can be calculated as ITX[mA]=1/PAefficiency*10^((Pout[dBm]+Ploss[dB])/10)/1.8V+Ioffset Ioffset is about 6 mA for the fully integrated VCO at 400 MHz to 1050 MHz, and 3 mA for the VCO with external inductor at 169 MHz. The following table shows calculated current consumptions versus output power for Ploss = 1 dB, PAefficiency = 0.5, Ioffset= 6 mA at 868 MHz and Ioffset= 3.5 mA at 169 MHz Pout [dBm] Itxcalc [mA] 868 MHz 169 MHz 0 7.5 4.5 1 7.9 4.9 2 8.4 5.4 3 9.0 6.0 4 9.8 6.8 5 10.8 7.8 6 12.1 9.1 7 13.7 10.7 8 15.7 12.7 9 18.2 15.2 10 21.3 18.3 11 25.3 22.3 12 30.3 27.3 13 36.7 33.7 14 44.6 41.6 15 54.6 51.6 Both AX5243 power amplifiers run from the regulated VDD_ANA supply and not directly from the battery.

Tolerances and start-up times depend on the crystal used. Depending on the RF frequency and channel spacing the IC must be calibrated to the exact crystal frequency using the readings of the register TRKFREQ The choice of crystal oscillator or TCXO frequency depends on the targeted regulatory regime for TX, see separate documentati on on meeting regulatory requirements. To avoid spurious emission, the crystal or TCXO reference frequency should be chosen so that the RF carrier frequency is not an integer multiple of the crystal or TCXO frequency. The oscillator transconductance is regulated for fastest start-up time during start-up and for lowest power during steady state oscillation. This means that values will depend on the crystal used. If an external clock (TCXO) is used, it should be input via an AC coupling at pin CLK16P with the oscillator powered up and XTALCAP=0x00. For detailed TCXO network recommendations depending on TCXO output swing refer to the AX5243 Application Note: Use with a TXCO Reference Clock.

Circuit Description The AX5243 is a true single chip ultra-low power narrow-band CMOS transceiver for use in licensed and unlicensed bands from 27 and 1050 MHz. The on-chip transceiver consists of a fully integrated RF front-end with modulator, and demodulator. Base band data processing is implemented in an advanced and flexible communication controller that enables user friendly communication via the SPI interface. AX5243 can be operated from a 1.8 V to 3.6 V power supply over a temperature range of -40oC to 85oC. It consumes 7 - 48 mA for transmitting at 868 MHz carrier frequency, 4 – 51 mA for transmitting at 169 MHz depending on the output power. In receive operation AX5243 consumes 9 - 11 mA at 868 MHz carrier frequency and 6.5 - 8.5 mA at 169 MHz. The AX5243 features make it an ideal interface for integration into various battery powered solutions such as ticketing or as transceiver for telemetric applications e.g. in sensors. As primary application, the transceiver is intended for UHF radio equipment in accordance with the European Telecommunication Standard Institute (ETSI) specification EN 300 220-1 and the US Federal Communications Commission (FCC) standard Title 47 CFR part 15 as well as Part 90. AX5243 is compliant with the respective narrow-band regulations. Additionally AX5243 is suited for systems targeting compliance with Wireless M-Bus standard EN 13757-4:2005. Wireless M-Bus frame support (S, T, R) is built-in. AX5243 supports any data rate from 0.1 kbps to 125 kbps for FSK, 4-FSK, GFSK, GMSK, MSK, ASK and PSK. To achieve optimum performance for specific data rates and modulation schemes several register settings to configure the AX5243 are necessary, for details see the AXSEM RadioLab Software which calculates the necessary register settings and the AX5243 Programming Manual. The AX5243 can be operated in two fundamentally different modes. Data is sent and received via the SPI port in frames. Pre- and post-ambles as well as checksums can be generated automatically. Interrupts control the data flow between a micro-controller and the AX5243. Both transmit and receive use frame mode. In both cases the AX5243 behaves as a SPI slave interface. Configuration of the AX5243 is always done via the SPI interface. The receiver and the transmitter support multi-channel operation for all data rates and modulation schemes. www.onsemi.com AX5243 Circuit Description 5.1. Voltage Regulators The AX5243 uses an on-chip voltage regulator system to create stable supply voltages for the internal circuitry from the primary supply VDD_IO. The I/O level of the digital pins is VDD_IO. Pins VDD_ANA are supplied for external decoupling of the power supply used for the onchip PA. The voltage regulator system must be set into the appropriate state before receive or transmit operations can be initiated. This is handled automatically when programming the device modes via the PWRMODE register. Register POWSTAT contains status bits that can be read to check if the regulated voltages are ready (bit SVIO) or if VDD_IO has dropped below the brown-out level of 1.3V (bit SSUM). In power-down mode the core supply voltages for digital and analog functions are switched off to minimize leakage power. Most register contents are preserved but access to the FIFO is not possible and FIFO contents are lost. SPI access to registers is possible, but at lower speed. In deep-sleep mode all supply voltages are switched off. All digital and analog functions are disabled. All register contents are lost. To leave deep-sleep mode the pin SEL has to be pulled low. This will initiate startup and reset of the AX5243. Then the MISO line should be polled, as it will be held low during initialization and will rise to high at the end of the initialization, when the chip becomes ready for operation. www.onsemi.com AX5243 25 26 Circuit Description 5.2. Crystal Oscillator and TCXO Interface The AX5243 is normally operated with an external TCXO, which is required by most narrow-band regulation with a tolerance of 0.5 ppm to 1.5 ppm depending on the regulation. The on-chip crystal oscillator allows the use of an inexpensive quartz crystal as the RF generation subsystem’s timing reference when possible from a regulatory point of view. A wide range of reference frequencies can be handled by the crystal oscillator circuit. As the reference frequency impacts both the spectral performance of the transmitter as well as the current consumption of the receiver, the choice of reference frequency should be made according to the regulatory regime targeted by the application. For guide-lines see the separate Application Notes for usage of AX5243 in compliance with various regulatory regimes. The crystal or TCXO reference frequency should be chosen so that the RF carrier frequency is not an integer multiple of the crystal or TCXO frequency. The oscillator circuit is enabled by programming the PWRMODE register. At power-up it is enabled. To adjust the circuit’s characteristics to the quartz crystal being used, without using additional external components, the tuning capacitance of the crystal oscillator can be programmed. The transconductance of the oscillator is automatically regulated, to allow for fastest start-up times together with lowest power operation during steady-state oscillation. The integrated programmable tuning capacitor bank makes it possible to connect the oscillator directly to pins CLK16N and CLK16P without the need for external capacitors. It is programmed using bits XTALCAP[5:0] in register XTALCAP. To synchronize the receiver frequency to a carrier signal, the oscillator frequency could be tuned using the capacitor bank however, the recommended method to implement frequency synchronization is to make use of the high resolution RF frequency generation sub-system together with the Automatic Frequency Control, both are described further down. Alternatively a single ended reference (TXCO, CXO) may be used. For detailed TCXO network recommendations depending on TCXO output swing refer to the AX5243 Application Note: Use with a TXCO Reference Clock. 5.3. Low Power Oscillator and Wake on Radio (WOR) Mode The AX5243 features an internal lowest power fully integrated oscillator. In default mode the frequency of oscillation is 640 Hz +/- 1.5%, in fast mode it is 10.2 kHz +/1.5%. These accuracies are reached after the internal hardware has been used to calibrate the low power oscillator versus the RF reference clock. This procedure can be run in the background during transmit or receive operations. The low power oscillator makes a WOR mode with a power consumption of 500nA possible. www.onsemi.com AX5243 Circuit Description If Wake-on-Radio Mode is enabled, the receiver wakes up periodically at a user selectable interval, and checks for a radio signal on the selected channel. If no signal is detected, the receiver shuts down again. If a radio signal is detected, and a valid packet is received, the micro-controller is alerted by asserting an interrupt. The AX5243 can thus autonomously poll for radio signals, while the micro-controller can stay powered down, and only wakes up once a valid packet is received. This allows for very low average receiver power, at the expense of longer preambles at the transmitter. 5.4. GPIO Pin Pins SYSCLK, IRQ and TCXO_EN can be used as general purpose I/O pins by programming pin configuration registers PINFUNCSYSCLK, PINFUNCIRQ, PINFUNCPWRAMP. Pin input values can be read via register PINSTATE. Pull-ups are disabled if output data is programmed to the GPIO pin VDD_IO enable weak pull-up enable output VDD_IO 65 k output data input data Figure 5 GPIO pin 5.5. SYSCLK Output The SYSCLK pin outputs either the reference clock signal divided by a programmable power of two or the low power oscillator clock. Division ratios from 1 to 1024 are possible. For divider ratios > 1 the duty cycle is 50%. Bits SYSCLK[4:0] in the PINFUNCSYSCLK register set the divider ratio. The SYSCLK output can be disabled. After power-up SYSCLK outputs 1/16 of the crystal oscillator clock, making it possible to use this clock to boot a micro-controller. www.onsemi.com AX5243 27 28 Circuit Description 5.6. Power-on-reset (POR) AX5243 has an integrated power-on-reset block. No external POR circuit is required. After POR the AX5243 can be reset by first setting the SPI SEL pin to high for at least 100 ns, then setting followed by resetting the bit RST in the PWRMODE register. After POR or reset all registers are set to their default values. 5.7. RF Frequency Generation Subsystem The RF frequency generation subsystem consists of a fully integrated synthesizer, which multiplies the reference frequency from the crystal oscillator to get the desired RF frequency. The advanced architecture of the synthesizer enables frequency resolutions of 1 Hz, as well as fast settling times of 5 – 50 s depending on the settings (see section 4.3: AC Characteristics). Fast settling times mean fast start-up and fast RX/TX switching, which enables low-power system design. For receive operation the RF frequency is fed to the mixer, for transmit operation to the power-amplifier. The frequency must be programmed to the desired carrier frequency. The synthesizer loop bandwidth can be programmed, this serves three purposes: 1. Start-up time optimization, start-up is faster for higher synthesizer loop bandwidths 2. TX spectrum optimization, phase-noise at 300 kHz to 1 MHz distance from the carrier improves with lower synthesizer loop bandwidths 3. Adaptation of the bandwidth to the data-rate. For transmission of FSK and MSK it is required that the synthesizer bandwidth must be in the order of the data-rate. VCO An on-chip VCO converts the control voltage generated by the charge pump and loop filter into an output frequency. This frequency is used for transmit as well as for receive operation. The frequency can be programmed in 1 Hz steps in the FREQ registers. For operation in the 433 MHz band, the RFDIV bit in the PLLVCODIV register must be programmed. The fully integrated VCO allows to operate the device in the frequency ranges 800 – 1050 MHz and 400 – 525 MHz. The carrier frequency range can be extended to 54 – 525 MHz and 27 – 262 MHz by using an appropriate external inductor between device pins L1 and L2. The bit VCO2INT in the PLLVCODIV register must be set high to enter this mode. www.onsemi.com AX5243 Circuit Description It is also possible to use a fully external VCO by setting bits VCO2INT=0 and VCOSEL=1 in the PLLVCODIV register. A differential input at a frequency of double the desired RF frequency must be input at device pins L1 and L2. The control voltage for the VCO can be output at device pin FILT when using external filter mode. The voltage range of this output pin is 0 – 1.8 V. This mode of operation is recommended for special applications where the phase noise requirements are not met when using the fully internal VCO or the internal VCO with external inductor. VCO Auto-Ranging The AX5243 has an integrated auto-ranging function, which allows to set the correct VCO range for specific frequency generation subsystem settings automatically. Typically it has to be executed after power-up. The function is initiated by setting the RNG_START bit in the PLLRANGINGA or PLLRANGINGB register. The bit is readable and a 0 indicates the end of the ranging process. Setting RNG_START in the PLLRANGINGA register ranges the frequency in FREQA, while setting RNG_START in the PLLRANGINGB register ranges the frequency in FREQB. The RNGERR bit indicates the correct execution of the auto-ranging. VCO auto-ranging works with the fully integrated VCO and with the internal VCO with external inductor. Loop Filter and Charge Pump The AX5243 internal loop filter configuration together with the charge pump current sets the synthesizer loop band width. The internal loop-filter has three configurations that can be programmed via the register bits FLT[1:0] in registers PLLLOOP or PLLLOOPBOOST the charge pump current can be programmed using register bits PLLCPI[7:0] in registers PLLCPI or PLLCPIBOOST. Synthesizer bandwidths are typically 50 - 500 kHz depending on the PLLLOOP or PLLLOOPBOOST settings, for details see the section 4.3: AC Characteristics. The AX5243 can be setup in such a way that when the synthesizer is started, the settings in the registers PLLLOOPBOOST and PLLCPIBOOST are applied first for a programmable duration before reverting to the settings in PLLLOOP and PLLCPI. This feature enables automated fastest start-up. Setting bits FLT[1:0]=00 bypasses the internal loop filter and the VCO control voltage is output to an external loop filter at pin FILT. This mode of operation is recommended for achieving lower bandwidths than with the internal loop filter and for usage with a fully external VCO. www.onsemi.com AX5243 29 30 Circuit Description Registers Register PLLLOOP PLLLOOPBOOST Bits Synthesizer loop filter bandwidth and selection of external loop filter, FLT[1:0] recommended usage is to increase the bandwidth for faster settling time, bandwidth increases of factor 2 and 5 are possible. PLLCPI Synthesizer charge pump current, recommended usage is to decrease the bandwidth (and improve the phase-noise) for low data-rate transmissions. PLLCPIBOOST PLLVCODIV Purpose REFDIV Sets the synthesizer reference divider ratio. RFDIV Sets the synthesizer output divider ratio. VCOSEL Selects either the internal or the external VCO. VCO2INT Selects either the internal VCO inductor or an external inductor between pins L1 and L2. FREQA, FREQB Programming of the carrier frequency PLLRANGINGA, PLLRANGINGB Initiate VCO auto-ranging and check results www.onsemi.com AX5243 Circuit Description 5.8. RF Input and Output Stage (ANTP/ANTN) The AX5243 antenna interface uses differential pins ANTP and ANTN for both RX and TX. RX/TX switching is handled internally. LNA The LNA amplifies the differential RF signal from the antenna and buffers it to drive the I/Q mixer. An external matching network is used to adapt the antenna impedance to the IC impedance. A DC feed to GND must be provided at the antenna pins. For recommendations, see section 7: Application Information. PA In TX mode the PA drives the signal generated by the frequency generation subsystem out to either the differential antenna terminals or to the single ended antenna pin. The antenna terminals are chosen via the bits TXDIFF and TXSE in register MODECFGA. The output power of the PA is programmed via the register TXPWRCOEFFB. The PA can be digitally pre-distorted for high linearity. The output amplitude can be shaped (raised cosine), this mode is selected with bit AMPLSHAPE in register MODECFGA. PA ramping is programmable in increments of the bit time and can be set to 1 – 8 bit times via bits SLOWRAMP in register MODECFGA. Output power as well as harmonic content will depend on the external impedance seen by the PA, recommendations are given in the section 7: Application Information. 5.9. Digital IF Channel Filter and Demodulator The digital IF channel filter and the demodulator extract the data bit-stream from the incoming IF signal. They must be programmed to match the modulation scheme as well as the data-rate. Inaccurate programming will lead to loss of sensitivity. The channel filter offers bandwidths of 995 Hz up to 221 kHz. The AXSEM RadioLab software calculates the necessary register settings for optimal performance and details can be found in the AX5243 Programming Manual. An overview of the registers involved is given in the following table as reference. The register setups typically must be done once at power-up of the device. www.onsemi.com AX5243 31 32 Circuit Description Registers Register Remarks DECIMATION This register programs the bandwidth of the digital channel filter. RXDATARATE2… RXDATARATE0 These registers specify the receiver bit rate, relative to the channel filter bandwidth. MAXDROFFSET2…MAXDROFFSET0 These registers specify the maximum possible data rate offset. MAXRFOFFSET2…MAXRFOFFSET0 These registers specify the maximum possible RF frequency offset. TIMEGAIN,DRGAIN These registers specify the aggressiveness of the receiver bit timing recovery. More aggressive settings allow the receiver to synchronize with shorter preambles, at the expense of more timing jitter and thus a higher bit error rate at a given signal-to-noise ratio. MODULATION This register selects the modulation to be used by the transmitter and the receiver, i.e. whether ASK, FSK should be used. PHASEGAIN, FREQGAINA, FREQGAINB, FREQGAINC, FREQGAIND, AMPLGAIN These registers control the bandwidth of the phase, frequency offset and amplitude tracking loops. AGCGAIN This register controls the AGC (automatic gain control) loop slopes, and thus the speed of gain adjustments. The faster the bit-rate, the faster the AGC loop should be. TXRATE These registers control the bit rate of the transmitter. FSKDEV These registers control the frequency deviation of the transmitter in FSK mode. The receiver does not explicitly need to know the frequency deviation, only the channel filter bandwidth has to be set wide enough for the complete modulation to pass. www.onsemi.com AX5243 Circuit Description 5.10. Encoder The encoder is located between the Framing Unit, the Demodulator and the Modulator. It can optionally transform the bit-stream in the following ways: It can invert the bit stream. It can perform differential encoding. This means that a zero is transmitted as no change in the level, and a one is transmitted as a change in the level. It can perform Manchester encoding. Manchester encoding ensures that the modulation has no DC content and enough transitions (changes from 0 to 1 and from 1 to 0) for the demodulator bit timing recovery to function correctly, but does so at a doubling of the data rate. It can perform spectral shaping (also know as whitening). Spectral shaping removes DC content of the bit stream, ensures transitions for the demodulator bit timing recovery, and makes sure that the transmitted spectrum does not have discrete lines even if the transmitted data is cyclic. It does so without adding additional bits, i.e. without changing the data rate. Spectral Shaping uses a self synchronizing feedback shift register. The encoder is programmed using the register ENCODING, details and recommendations on usage are given in the AX5243 Programming Manual. 5.11. Framing and FIFO Most radio systems today group data into packets. The Framing Unit is responsible for converting these packets into a bit-stream suitable for the modulator, and to extract packets from the continuous bit-stream arriving from the demodulator. The Framing Unit supports two different modes: Packet modes Raw modes The micro-controller communicates with the framing unit through a 256 byte FIFO. Data in the FIFO is organized in Chunks. The chunk header encodes the length and what data is contained in the payload. Chunks may contain packet data, but also RSSI, Frequency Offset, Timestamps, etc. The AX5243 contains one FIFO. Its direction is switched depending on whether transmit or receive mode is selected. The FIFO can be operated in polled or interrupt driven modes. In polled mode, the microcontroller must periodically read the FIFO status register or the FIFO count register to determine whether the FIFO needs servicing. www.onsemi.com AX5243 33 34 Circuit Description In interrupt mode EMPTY, NOT EMPTY, FULL, NOT FULL and programmable level interrupts are provided. The AX5243 signals interrupts by asserting (driving high) its IRQ line. The interrupt line is level triggered, active high. Interrupts are acknowledged by removing the cause for the interrupt, i.e. by emptying or filling the FIFO. Basic FIFO status (EMPTY, FULL, Overrun, Underrun, FIFO fill level above threshold, FIFO free space above threshold) are also provided during each SPI access on MISO while the micro- controller shifts out the register address on MOSI. See the SPI interface section for details. This feature significantly reduces the number of SPI accesses necessary during transmit and receive. Packet Modes The AX5243 offers different packet modes. For arbitrary packet sizes HDLC is recommended since the flag and bit-stuffing mechanism. The AX5243 also offers packet modes with fixed packet length with a byte indicating the length of the packet. In packet modes a CRC can be computed automatically. HDLC1 Mode is the main framing mode of the AX5243. In this mode, the AX5243 performs automatic packet delimiting, and optional packet correctness check by inserting and checking a cyclic redundancy check (CRC) field. The packet structure is given in the following table. Flag Address Control Information FCS (Optional Flag) 8 bit 8 bit Variable length, 0 or more bits in multiples of 8 16 / 32 bit 8 bit 8 or 16 bit HDLC packets are delimited with flag sequences of content 0x7E. In AX5243 the meaning of address and control is user defined. The Frame Check Sequence (FCS) can be programmed to be CRC-CCITT, CRC-16 or CRC-32. The receiver checks the CRC, the result can be retrieved from the FIFO, the CRC is appended to the received data. In Wireless M-Bus Mode2, the packet structure is given in the following table. 1 Note: HDLC mode follows High-Level Data Link Control (HDLC, ISO 13239) protocol. 2 Note: Wireless M-Bus mode follows EN13757-4 www.onsemi.com AX5243 Circuit Description Preamble L C M A FCS Optional Data Block (optionally repeated with FCS) FCS variable 8 bit 16 bit 48 bit 16 bit 8 – 96 bit 16 bit 8 bit For details on implementing a HDLC communication as well as Wireless M-Bus please use the AXSEM RadioLab software and see the AX5243 Programming Manual. RAW Modes In Raw mode, the AX5243 does not perform any packet delimiting or byte synchronization. It simply serializes transmit bytes and de-serializes the received bitstream and groups it into bytes. This mode is ideal for implementing legacy protocols in software. Raw mode with preamble match is similar to raw mode. In this mode, however, the receiver does not receive anything until it detects a user programmable bit pattern (called the preamble) in the receive bit-stream. When it detects the preamble, it aligns the de-serialization to it. The preamble can be between 4 and 32 bits long. 5.12. RX AGC and RSSI AX5243 features three receiver signal strength indicators (RSSI): 1. RSSI before the digital IF channel filter. The gain of the receiver is adjusted in order to keep the analog IF filter output level inside the working range of the ADC and demodulator. The register AGCCOUNTER contains the current value of the AGC and can be used as an RSSI. The step size of this RSSI is 0.625 dB. The value can be used as soon as the RF frequency generation sub-system has been programmed. 2. RSSI behind the digital IF channel filter. The register RSSI contains the current value of the RSSI behind the digital IF channel filter. The step size of this RSSI is 1 dB. 3. RSSI behind the digital IF channel filter high accuracy. The demodulator also provides amplitude information in the TRK_AMPLITUDE register. By combining both the AGCCOUNTER and the TRK_AMPLITUDE registers, a high resolution (better than 0.1dB) RSSI value can be computed at the expense of a few arithmetic operations on the micro-controller. The AXSEM RadioLab software calculates the necessary register settings for best performance and details can be found in the AX5243 Programming Manual. www.onsemi.com AX5243 35 36 Circuit Description 5.13. Modulator Depending on the transmitter settings the modulator generates various inputs for the PA: Modulation Bit = 0 Bit = 1 Main Lobe Bandwidth Max. Bitrate ASK PA off PA on BW=BITRATE 125 kBit/s BW=(1+h) BITRATE 125 kBit/s BW=BITRATE 125 kBit/s FSK/MSK/GFSK/GMSK f=-fdeviation 0 =0 PSK f=+fdeviation =180 0 h = modulation index. It is the ratio of the deviation compared to the bitrate; fdeviation = 0.5hBITRATE, AX5243 can demodulate signals with h < 32. ASK = amplitude shift keying FSK = frequency shift keying MSK = minimum shift keying; MSK is a special case of FSK, where h = 0.5, and therefore fdeviation = 0.25BITRATE; the advantage of MSK over FSK is that it can be demodulated more robustly. PSK = phase shift keying All modulation schemes, except 4-FSK, are binary. Amplitude can be shaped using a raised cosine waveform. Amplitude shaping will also be performed for constant amplitude modulation ((G)FSK, (G)MSK) for ramping up and down the PA. Amplitude shaping should always be enabled. Frequency shaping can either be hard (FSK, MSK), or Gaussian (GMSK, GFSK), with selectable BT=0.3 or BT=0.5.

Automatic Frequency Control (AFC) The AX5243 features an automatic frequency tracking loop which is capable of tracking the transmitter frequency within the RX filter band width. On top of that the AX5243 has a frequency tracking register TRKRFFREQ to synchronize the receiver frequency to a www.onsemi.com AX5243 Circuit Description carrier signal. For AFC adjustment, the frequency offset can be computed with the following formula: f TRKRFFREQ f XTAL . 2 24 The pull-in range of the AFC can be programmed with the MAXRFOFFSET Registers. 5.15. PWRMODE Register The PWRMODE register controls, which parts of the chip are operating. PWRMODE register 0000 Name POWERDOWN Description All digital and analog functions, except the register file, are disabled. The core supply voltages are switched off to conserve leakage power. Register contents are preserved and accessible registers via SPI, but at a slower speed. Access to the FIFO is not possible and the contents are not preserved. POWERDOWN mode is only entered once the FIFO is empty. AX5243 is fully turned off. All digital and analog functions are disabled. All register contents are lost. 0001 DEEPSLEEP To leave DEEPSLEEP mode the pin SEL has to be pulled low. This will initiate startup and reset of the AX5243. Then the MISO line should be polled, as it will be held low during initialization and will rise to high at the end of the initialization, when the chip becomes ready for operation. 0101 STANDBY The crystal oscillator and the reference are powered on; receiver and transmitter are off. Register contents are preserved and accessible registers via SPI. Access to the FIFO is not possible and the contents are not preserved. STANDBY is only entered once the FIFO is empty. 0110 FIFO The reference is powered on. Register contents are preserved and accessible registers via SPI. Access to the FIFO is possible and the contents are preserved. 1000 SYNTHRX The synthesizer is running on the receive frequency. Transmitter and receiver are still off. This mode is used to let the synthesizer settle on the correct frequency for receive. 1001 FULLRX Synthesizer and receiver are running. 1011 WOR Receiver wakeup-on-radio mode. The mode the same as POWERDOWN, but the 640 Hz internal low power oscillator is running. 1100 SYNTHTX The synthesizer is running on the transmit frequency. Transmitter and receiver are still off. This mode is used to let the synthesizer settle on the correct frequency for transmit. 1101 FULLTX Synthesizer and transmitter are running. Do not switch into this mode before the synthesizer has completely settled on the transmit frequency (in SYNTHTX mode), otherwise spurious spectral transmissions will occur.

Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI) The AX5243 can be programmed via a four wire serial interface according SPI using the pins CLK, MOSI, MISO and SEL. Registers for setting up the AX5243 are programmed via the serial peripheral interface in all device modes. When the interface signal SEL is pulled low, a configuration data stream is expected on the input signal pin MOSI, which is interpreted as D0...Dx, A0...Ax, R_N/W. Data read from the interface appears on MISO. Figure 6 shows a write/read access to the interface. The data stream is built of an address byte including read/write information and a data byte. Depending on the R_N/W bit and address bits A[6..0], data D[7..0] can be written via MOSI or read at the pin MISO. R_N/W = 0 means read mode, R_N/W = 1 means write mode. Most registers are 8 bits wide and accessed using the waveforms as detailed in Figure 7. The most important registers are at the beginning of the address space, i.e. at addresses less than 0x70. These registers can be accessed more efficiently using the short address form, which is detailed in Figure 6. Some registers are longer than 8 bits. These registers can be accessed more quickly than by reading and writing individual 8 bit parts. This is illustrated in Figure 8. Accesses are not limited by 16 bits either, reading and writing data bytes can be continued as long as desired. After each byte, the address counter is incremented by one. Also, this access form works with long addresses. During the address phase of the access, the AX5243 outputs the most important status bits. This feature is designed to speed up the software decision on what to do in an interrupt handler. The status bits contain the following information: SPI bit cell Status Meaning / Register Bit 0 - 1 (when transitioning out of deep sleep mode, this bit transitions from 0 1 when the power becomes ready) 1 S14 PLL LOCK 2 S13 FIFO OVER 3 S12 FIFO UNDER 4 S11 THRESHOLD FREE (FIFOFREE > 5 S10 THRESHOLD COUNT (FIFOCOUNT > 6 S9 FIFO FULL 7 S8 FIFO EMPTY 8 S7 PWRGOOD (not BROWNOUT) 9 S6 PWR INTERRUPT PENDING 10 S5 RADIO EVENT PENDING 11 S4 XTAL OSCILLATOR RUNNING 12 S3 WAKEUP INTERRUPT PENDING FIFOTHRESH ) www.onsemi.com FIFOTHRESH ) AX5243 39 40 Circuit Description 13 S2 LPOSC INTERRUPT PENDING 14 S1 GPADC INTERRUPT PENDING 15 S0 internal Note: Bit cells 8-15 (S7…S0) are only available in two address byte SPI access formats.

General Purpose ADC (GPADC) The AX5243 features a general purpose ADC. The ADC input pins are GPADC1 and GPADC2. The ADC converts the voltage difference between applied between pins GPADC1 and GPADC2. If pin GPADC2 is left open, the ADC converts the difference between an internally generated value of 800 mV and the voltage applied at pin GPADC1. The GPADC can only be used if the receiver is disabled. To enable the GPADC write 1 to the GPADC13 bit in the GPADCCTRL register. To start a single conversion, write 1 to the BUSY bit in the GPADCCTRL register. Then wait for the BUSY bit to clear, or the GPADC Interrupt to be asserted. The GPADC Interrupt is cleared by reading the result register GPADC13VALUE. If continuous sampling is desired, set the CONT bit in register GPADCCTRL. The desired sampling rate can be specified in the GPADCPERIOD register. 5.18. DAC One digital pin – TCXO_EN – may be used as a Digital-to-Analog Converter. A simple RC lowpass filter is needed to smooth the output. The DAC may be used to output RSSI, many demodulator variables, or a constant value under software control. www.onsemi.com AX5243 41 42 Register Bank Description 6. Register Bank Description This section describes the bits of the register bank as reference. The registers are grouped by functional block to facilitate programming. The AXSEM RadioLab software calculates the necessary register settings for best performance and details can be found in the AX5243 Programming Manual. An R in the retention column means that this register’s contents are not lost during power-down mode. No checks are made whether the programmed combination of bits makes sense! Bit 0 is always the LSB. Note Whole registers or register bits marked as reserved should be kept at their default values. Note All addresses not documented here must not be accessed, neither in reading nor in writing. Note The retention column indicates if the register contents are preserved in power-down mode. www.onsemi.com AX5243 Register Bank Description 6.1.

PCB land and solder masking recommendations are shown in Figure 15. A= Clearance from PCB thermal pad to solder mask opening, 0.0635 mm minimum B = Clearance from edge of PCB thermal pad to PCB land, 0.2 mm minimum C = Clearance from PCB land edge to solder mask opening to be as tight as possible to ensure that some solder mask remains between PCB pads D = PCB land length = QFN solder pad length + 0.1mm E = PCB land width = QFN solder pad width + 0.1 mm Figure 15: PCB land and solder mask recommendations 2. 3. Thermal vias should be used on the PCB thermal pad (middle ground pad) to improve thermal conductivity from the device to a copper ground plane area on the reverse side of the printed circuit board. The number of vias depends on the package thermal requirements, as determined by thermal simulation or actual testing. Increasing the number of vias through the printed circuit board will improve the thermal conductivity to the reverse side ground plane and external heat sink. In general, adding more metal through the PC board under the IC will improve operational heat transfer, but will require careful attention to uniform heating of the board during assembly. 8.4. Assembly Process Stencil Design & Solder Paste Application 1. Stainless steel stencils are recommended for solder paste application. 2. A stencil thickness of 0.125 – 0.150 mm (5 – 6 mils) is recommended for screening. 3. For the PCB thermal pad, solder paste should be printed on the PCB by designing a stencil with an array of smaller openings that sum to 50% of the QFN exposed pad area. Solder paste should be applied through an array of squares (or circles) as shown in Figure 16. 4. The aperture opening for the signal pads should be between 50-80% of the QFN pad area as shown in Figure 17. 5. Optionally, for better solder paste release, the aperture walls should be trapezoidal and the corners rounded. www.onsemi.com AX5243 63 64 QFN28 Package Information 6. The fine pitch of the IC leads requires accurate alignment of the stencil and the printed circuit board. The stencil and printed circuit assembly should be aligned to within + 1 mil prior to application of the solder paste. 7. No-clean flux is recommended since flux from underneath the thermal pad will be difficult to clean if water-soluble flux is used.
