General Description
The TH71101 FSK/FM/ASK single-conversion superheterodyne receiver IC is designed for applications in
the European 433 MHz industrial-scientific-medical (ISM) band, according to the EN 300 220
telecommunications standard. It can also be used for any other system with carrier frequencies ranging from
300 MHz to 450 MHz (e.g. for applications to FCC part 15 and ARIB STD-T67).

Theory of Operation
1.1
General
With the TH71101 receiver chip, various circuit configurations can be arranged in order to meet a number of
different customer requirements. For FM/FSK reception the IF tank used in the phase coincidence
demodulator can also be constituted by a ceramic discriminator with a varactor diode to create an AFC
circuit. In ASK configuration, the RSSI signal is fed to an ASK detector, which is constituted by the
operational amplifier.
A double-conversion variant, called TH71102, is also available. This receiver IC allows a higher degree of
image rejection, achieved in conjunction with an RF front-end filter. Both RXICs have the same die. At the
TH71102, the second mixer (MIX2) is used to down-convert the first IF (IF1) to the second IF (IF2). At the
TH71101, MIX2 operates as an amplifier.
Efficient RF front-end filtering is realized by using a SAW, ceramic or helix filter in front of the LNA and by
adding an LC filter at the LNA output.
The TH71101 receiver IC consists of the following building blocks:
#

#
#
#

1.2
PLL synthesizer (PLL SYNTH) for generation of the local oscillator signal LO parts of the PLL SYNTH
are: the high-frequency VCO1, the feedback divider DIV_16, a phase-frequency detector (PFD) with
charge pump (CP) and a crystal-based reference oscillator (RO)
Low-noise amplifier (LNA) for high-sensitivity RF signal reception
First mixer (MIX1) for down-conversion of the RF signal to the IF
IF pre amplifier which is a mixer cell (MIX2) that operates as an amplifier
IF amplifier (IFA) to amplify and limit the IF signal and for RSSI generation
Phase coincidence demodulator (DEMOD) with third mixer (MIX3) to demodulate the IF signal
Operational amplifier (OA) for data slicing, filtering and ASK detection
Bias circuitry for bandgap biasing and circuit shutdown

Frequency Planning
Frequency planning is straightforward for single-conversion applications because there is only one IF that
can be chosen, and then the only possible choice is low-side or high-side injection of the LO signal (which is
now the one and only LO signal in the receiver).
The receiver’s single-conversion architecture requires careful frequency planning. Besides the desired RF
input signal, there are a number of spurious signals that may cause an undesired response at the output.
Among them is the image of the RF signal that must be suppressed by the RF front-end filter.

315/433MHz Receiver
Evaluation Board Description
By using the internal PLL synthesizer of the TH71101 with the fixed feedback divider ratio of N = 16
(DIV_16), two types of down-conversion are possible: low-side injection of LO and high-side injection of LO.
The following table summarizes some equations that are useful to calculate the crystal reference frequency
(REF) and the LO frequency, for a given RF and IF.

Selected Frequency Plans
The following table depicts crystal, LO and image signals considering the examples of 315 MHz and
433.92 MHz RF reception at IF = 10.7 MHz.

The selection of the reference crystal frequency is based on some assumptions. As for example: the image
frequency should not be in a radio band where strong interfering signals might occur (because they could
represent parasitic receiving signals), the LO signal should be in the range of 300 MHz to 450 MHz (because
this is the optimum frequency range of the VCO1). Furthermore the IF should be as high as possible to
achieve highest RF image rejection. The columns in bold depict the selected frequency plans to receive at
315 MHz and 433.92 MHz, respectively.
