Transmitter Functional Description
1
Transmitter Functional Description
MC33493 is a PLL-tuned low-power UHF transmitter. The different modes of operation are controlled by the microcontroller
through several digital input pins. The power supply voltage ranges from 1.9 V to 3.6 V, allowing operation with a single lithium
cell.
2
Phase Locked Loop and Local Oscillator
The VCO is a completely integrated relaxation oscillator. The phase frequency detector (PFD) and the loop filter are fully
integrated. The exact output frequency is equal to: fRFOUT = fXTAL × [PLL divider ratio]. The frequency band of operation is
selected through the BAND pin.
Table 3 shows details for each frequency band selection.

An out-of-lock function is performed by monitoring the PFD output voltage. When it exceeds defined limits, the RF output stage
is disabled.
3
Radio Frequency (RF) Output Stage
The radio frequentcy (RF) output stage source is a single-ended square-wave switched current. Harmonics are present in the
output current drive. Their radiated absolute level depends on the antenna characteristics and output power. Typical application
demonstrates compliance to ETSI standard.
A resistor, Rext, connected to the REXT pin controls the output power allowing a trade-off between radiated power and current
consumption.
The output voltage is internally clamped to Vcc ± 2 Vbe (typ. Vcc ± 1.5 V @ TA=25 °C).
4
Modulation
To select the On Off Keying (OOK) modulation, a low-logic level must be applied on the MODE pin. This modulation is
performed by switching the RF output stage on or off. The logic level applied on the DATA pin controls the output stage state:
DATA = 0 → output stage off,
DATA = 1 → output stage on.
Applying a high-logic level on the MODE pin selects Frequency Shift Keying (FSK) modulation. This modulation is achieved
by crystal pulling. An internal switch connected to the CFSK pin enables switching the external crystal load capacitors. Figure 2
shows the possible configurations: serial and parallel.
The logic level applied on pin DATA controls the state of this internal switch:
DATA=0 → switch off,
DATA=1 → switch on.
DATA input is internally re-synchronized by the crystal reference signal. The corresponding jitter on the data duty cycle cannot
exceed ±1 reference period (±75 ns for a 13.56 MHz crystal).
This crystal pulling solution implies that the RF output frequency deviation equals the crystal frequency deviation multiplied
by the PLL Divider ratio (see Table 3).

Microcontroller Interface
Four digital input pins (ENABLE, DATA, BAND, and MODE) enable the circuit to be controlled by a microcontroller. The
band frequency and the modulation type should be configured before enabling the circuit.
One digital output pin, DATACLK, provides the microcontroller with a reference frequency for data clocking. This frequency
is equal to the crystal oscillator frequency divided by 64 (see Table 4).

State 1: The circuit is in standby mode and draws only a leakage current from the power supply.
State 2: In this state, the PLL is out of the lock-in range; therefore, the RF output stage is switched off, preventing RF
transmission. Data clock is available on the DATACLK pin. Each time the device is enabled, the state machine passes through
this state.
State 3: In this state, the PLL is within the lock-in range. If t < tPLL_lock_in, the PLL may be in acquisition mode. If t≥tPLL_lock_in,
then the PLL is locked. Data entered on the DATA pin are output on the RFOUT pin according to the modulation selected by
the level applied on the MODE pin.
State 4: When the supply voltage falls below the shutdown voltage threshold (VSDWN,) the entire circuit switches off. After this
shutdown, applying a low level on the ENABLE pin unlatches the circuit.
Figure 4 shows the waveforms of the main signals for a typical application cycle.

Power Management
When the battery voltage falls below the shutdown voltage threshold (VSDWN) the entire circuit switches off. After this
shutdown, the circuit is latched until a low level is applied on pin ENABLE (see State 4 of the state machine).
8
Data Clock
At start-up, data clock timing is valid after the data clock settling time. Because the clock is switched off asynchronously, the
last period duration cannot be guaranteed.

RF Output Spectrum
The following figures represent spectrums of the transmitter carrier, measured in conduction mode. Three different spans have
been used. The 5 MHz span spectrum (Figure 5) shows phase noise response close to the RF carrier and the noise suppression
within the PLL-loop bandwidth. The 50 MHz span spectrum (Figure 6) shows phase noise and reference spurious. Finally, the
1.5 GHz span spectrum (Figure 7) shows the second and third harmonics of carrier. All spectrums are measured in OOK
modulation at DATA=1.
Figure 8 shows the spectrum in case of FSK modulation with 45 kHz deviation at 4 kbit/s data rate.

Another crystal reference, NDK NX1255GA (see Table 7), is enabled to reach higher deviation as mentioned on Table 10.
These results are due to the higher crystal motional capacitor.

Recommendations for FSK Modulation
FSK deviation is function of total load capacitance presented to the crystal. This load capacitance is constituted by various
contributors:
•
•
•
•
the crystal characteristic, especially its static capacitance
the external load capacitors (C3, C4 as defined in Figure 14 and Table 9)
the device internal capacitance of pins XTAL0, XTAL1, CFSK
the PCB track capacitance
The schematic given in Figure 16 shows a typical FSK application using serial capacitor configuration, where device pads and
PCB track capacitances are mentioned.
PLL Tuned UHF Transmitter for Data Transfer Applications, Rev. 1.7

Freescale Semiconductor
Recommendations for FSK Modulation
Device pad capacitance is defined by the package capacitance and by the internal circuitry. Typical capacitance values for these
pads are given in Table 11.
Some realistic assumptions and measurements have been made concerning track parasitic capacitances for a 0.8 mm FR4
double side application PCB. They are given in Table 11 and the corresponding PCB layout is shown in figure Figure 17.
To achieve large deviations, this total load capacitance must be lowered. For a given crystal, the PCB must be carefully laid out
to reduce the capacitance of the tracks wired to XTAL0, XTAL1, and CFSK pins.
Recommendation: a R_off resistor can be added in parallel with the FSK switch to optimize the transient response of
demodulated signal. Table 11 gives the optimized R_off values for two deviations. There is no footprint for R_off resistor on
the layout in Figure 16. When used, this component can be soldered on top of C3.
