Designed for Short-Range Wireless Data Communications
Supports 2.4-19.2 kbps Encoded Data Transmissions
3 V, Low Current Operation plus Sleep Mode
Ready to Use OEM Module
The DR3000 transceiver module is ideal for short-range wireless data applications where robust operation,
small size and low power consumption are required. The DR3000 utilizes RFM’s TR1000 amplifiersequenced hybrid (ASH) architecture to achieve this unique blend of characteristics. The receiver section of
the TR1000 is sensitive and stable. A wide dynamic range log detector provides robust performance in the
presence of on-channel interference or noise. Two stages of SAW filtering provide excellent receiver out-ofband rejection. The transmitter includes provisions for both on-off keyed (OOK) and amplitude-shift keyed
(ASK) modulation. The transmitter employs SAW filtering to suppress output harmonics, facilitating compliance with FCC 15.249 and similar regulations. The DR3000 includes the TR1000 plus all configuration components in a ready-to-use PCB assembly, excellent for prototyping and intermediate volume production runs.

Transceiver Module
Pin Descriptions
Pin
Name
Description
This pin is connected directly to the transceiver AGCCAP pin. To disable AGC operation, this pin is tied to VCC. To enable
AGC operation, a capacitor is placed between this pin and ground. This pin controls the AGC reset operation. A capacitor
between this pin and ground sets the minimum time the AGC will hold-in once it is engaged. The hold-in time is set to avoid
AGC chattering. For a given hold-in time tAGH, the capacitor value CAGC is:
CAGC = 19.1* tAGH, where tAGH is in µs and CAGC is in pF
1
2
3
4
AGC/VCC
A ±10% ceramic capacitor should be used at this pin. The value of CAGC given above provides a hold-in time between tAGH
and 2.65* tAGH, depending on operating voltage, temperature, etc. The hold-in time is chosen to allow the AGC to ride
through the longest run of zero bits that can occur in a received data stream. The AGC hold-in time can be greater than the
peak detector decay time, as discussed below. However, the AGC hold-in time should not be set too long, or the receiver will
be slow in returning to full sensitivity once the AGC is engaged by noise or interference. The use of AGC is optional when
using OOK modulation with data pulses of at least 30 µs. Active or latched AGC operation is required for ASK modulation
and/or for data pulses of less than 30 µs. The AGC can be latched ON once engaged by connecting a 150 K resistor
between this pin and ground, instead of a capacitor. AGC operation depends on a functioning peak detector, as discussed
below. The AGC capacitor is discharged in the transceiver power-down (sleep) mode and in the transmit modes. Note that
provisions are made on the circuit board to install a jumper between this pin and the junction of C2 and L3. Installing the
jumper allows either this pin or Pin 7 to be used for the Vcc supply when AGC operation is not required.
PK DET
This pin is connected directly to the transceiver PKDET pin. This pin controls the peak detector operation. A capacitor
between this pin and ground sets the peak detector attack and decay times, which have a fixed 1:1000 ratio. For most applications, the attack time constant should be set to 6.4 ms with a 0.027 µF capacitor to ground. (This matches the peak detector decay time constant to the time constant of the 0.1 µF coupling capacitor C3.) A ±10% ceramic capacitor should be used
at this pin. The peak detector is used to drive the “dB-below-peak” data slicer and the AGC release function. The AGC holdin time can be extended beyond the peak detector decay time with the AGC capacitor, as discussed above. Where low data
rates and OOK modulation are used, the “dB-below-peak” data slicer and the AGC are optional. In this case, the PKDET pin
can be left unconnected, and the AGC pin can be connected to VCC to reduce the number of external components needed.
The peak detector capacitor is discharged in the transceiver power-down (sleep) mode and in the transmit modes. See the
description of Pin 3 below for further information.
RX BBO
This pin is connected directly to the transceiver BBOUT pin. On the circuit board, BBOUT also drives the transceiver CMPIN
pin through C3, a 0.1 µF coupling capacitor (t BBC = 6.4 ms). RX BBO can also be used to drive an external data recovery
process (DSP, etc.). The nominal output impedance of this pin is 1 K. The RX BBO signal changes about 10 mV/dB, with a
peak-to-peak signal level of up to 675 mV. The signal at RX BBO is riding on a 1.1 Vdc value that varies somewhat with supply voltage and temperature, so it should be coupled through a capacitor to an external load. A load impedance of 50 K to
500 K in parallel with no more than 10 pF is recommended. Note the AGC reset function is driven by the signal applied to
CMPIN through C3. When the transceiver is in power-down (sleep) or in a transmit mode, the output impedance of this pin
becomes very high, preserving the charge on the coupling capacitor(s). The value of C3 on the circuit board has been chosen to match typical data encoding schemes at 2.4 kbps. If C3 is modified to support higher data rates and/or different data
encoding schemes and PK DET is being used, make the value of the peak detector capacitor about 1/3 the value of C3.
RX DATA
RX DATA is connected directly to the transceiver data output pin, RXDATA. This pin will drive a 10 pF, 500 K parallel load.
The peak current available from this pin increases with the receiver low-pass filter cutoff frequency. In the power-down
(sleep) or transmit modes, this pin becomes high impedance. If required, a 1000 K pull-up or pull-down resistor can be used
to establish a definite logic state when this pin is high impedance (do not connect the pull-up resistor to a supply voltage
higher than 3.5 Vdc or the transceiver will be damaged). This pin must be buffered to successfully drive low-impedance
loads.
The TX IN pin is connected to the transceiver TXMOD pin through a 4.7 K resistor on the circuit board. Additional series
resistance will often be required between the modulation source and the TX IN pin, depending on the desired output power
and peak modulation voltage (3.3 K typical for a peak modulation voltage of 3 volts). Saturated output power requires about
450 µA of drive current. Peak output power PO for a 3 Vdc supply is approximately:
5
TX IN
PO = 4.8*((VTXH – 0.9)/(RM + 4.7))2, where PO is in mW, peak modulation voltage VTXH is in volts and external modulation
resistor RM is in kilohms
This pin must be held low in the receive and sleep modes. Please refer to section 2.9 of the ASH Transceiver Designer’s
Guide for additional information.

GND
Transceiver Module
This is a ground pin.
This pin is the receiver low-pass filter bandwidth adjust, and is connected directly to the transceiver LPFADJ pin. R6 on the
circuit board (330 K) is connected between LPFADJ and ground will be in parallel with any external resistor connected to
LPF ADJ. The filter bandwidth is set by the parallel resistance of R6 and the external resistor (if used). The equivalent resistor value can range from 330 K to 820 ohms, providing a filter 3 dB bandwidth fLPF from 4.4 kHz to 1.8 MHz. The 3 dB filter
bandwidth is determined by:
fLPF = 1445/ (330*RLPF/(330 + RLPF)), where RLPF is in kilohms, and fLPF is in kHz
8
LPF ADJ
A ±5% resistor should be used to set the filter bandwidth. This will provide a 3 dB filter bandwidth between fLPF and 1.3* fLPF
with variations in supply voltage, temperature, etc. The filter provides a three-pole, 0.05 degree equiripple phase response.
The peak drive current available from RXDATA increases in proportion to the filter bandwidth setting. As shipped, the transceiver module is set up for nominal 2.4 kbps operation. An external resistor can be added between Pin 6 and ground to support higher data rates. Preamble training times will not be decreased, however, unless C3 is replaced with a smaller
capacitor value (see the descriptions of Pins 2 and 3 above). Refer to sections 1.4.3, 2.5.1 and 2.6.1 in the ASH Transceiver
Designer’s Guide for additional information on data rate adjustments.
9
VCC
This is the positive supply voltage pin for the module. The operating voltage range is 2.7 to 3.5 Vdc. It is also possible to use
Pin 1 as the Vcc input. Please refer to the Pin 1 description above.
10
GND
This is the supply voltage return pin.
CTR1
CTR1 is connected to the CNTRL1 control pin on the transceiver. CTR1 and CTR0 select the transceiver operating modes.
CTR1 and CTR0 both high place the unit in the receive mode. CTR1 and CTR0 both low place the unit in the power-down
(sleep) mode. CTR1 high and CTR0 low place the unit in the ASK transmit mode. CTR1 low and CTR0 high place the unit in
the OOK transmit mode. CTR1 is a high-impedance input (CMOS compatible). This pin must be held at a logic level; it cannot be left unconnected. At turn on, the voltage on this pin and CTR0 should rise with VCC until VCC reaches 2.7 Vdc
(receive mode). Thereafter, any mode can be selected.
12
CTR0
CTR0 is connected to the CNTRL0 control pin on the transceiver CTR0 is used with CTR1 to control the operating modes of
the transceiver. CTR0 is a high-impedance input (CMOS compatible). This pin must be held at a logic level; it cannot be left
unconnected. At turn on, the voltage on this pin and CTR1 should rise with VCC until VCC reaches 2.7 Vdc (receive mode).
Thereafter, any mode can be selected.
13
RFIO
RFIO is the RF input/output pin. A matching circuit for a 50 ohm load (antenna) is implemented on the circuit board between
this pin and the transceiver SAW filter transducer.
14
RF GND
This pin is the RF ground (return) to be used in conjunction with the RFIO pin. For example, when connecting the transceiver
module to an external antenna, the coaxial cable ground is connected this pin and the coaxial cable center conductor is connected to RFIO.
