Key Features:
AS5501/02 is an FSK-modem device for narrow-band FSK communication via a
Power-Line. The device is operated with a single supply voltage of 5V while the attached
TX-driver stage is generating a 7Vpp (AS5501) or a 14Vpp (AS5502) FSK-signal with very
low distortion which needs a supply of the external driver stage of 12V (AS5501) and 24V
(AS5502) respectively. The high output-voltages which gets coupled to the power-line by
using a transformer with proper ratios gives the advantage to lower the output impedance of
the buffer while the buffer supply-current gets kept small.
Precise filtering gives an receiver performance with low BER-figures at <13dB of S/N white
inband-noise and <-40dB S/N with monochromatic outband-noise and a sensitivity of
1.5mV
The carrier frequency is programmable in a range from 64kHz to 140kHz to support a big
variety of communication-bands including home-automation applications.
Modulation depth and Baud-Rate are programmable to 600Hz/1200Hz and 600, 1200,
2400B/s.
There is a carrier-detect function included to support channels with protocoll.
In addition to the modem-function a reference voltage output is available as well as a
supply-supervision.

Default Setting: The default values shown in the table above, are related to the standard
version of this device.
(Default setting of the registers can be changed by modification of the IC’s metal2 layer.
In this way special versions of this device can be defined and produced which are identified
by different marking (see paragr. 2). A special version will however only be installed for
annual deliveries not lower than 100000 devices and against upfront funding for the special
tooling required.)
Serial Interface Operation:
The serial interface is built to work in two different modes. The mode of operation is defined
by the logical state of the signal SCLK sampled (using the first rising edge of Fosc/512
signal) 46usec after a high going edge of the reset signal (RESN).
A-Mode (standard)
Features:
- 2 or 3 wire serial bus
- 8 bit data format
- data gets clocked on rising edge and shifted on falling edge of SCLK
- default polarity of signal SCLK is LOW (CPOL=0, CPMA=0)

1.1.2 RESET
VREF: A Band Gap Reference block is included for generation of a reference-voltage VREF
with nominal 2.5V needed for an external function (power-fail detection) and as reference for
the power on reset.
POR: A power-on reset function with external adjustable threshold and fixed off-delay
(300ms) defined by the master-clock is implemented. When pin RES-TH is floating the POROFF threshold is nominal 3.75V.There is a hysteresis of typ. 100mV implemented to V-ON.
(In Test-Mode 2 and 3 the Por-delay is reduced to 1.17ms)

With V(ResTh) defined by external resistors much smaller than R1-3, the POR- threshold can
be set in the range of 2.5V to 5.0V according to the given equation.
1.1.3 TIMING
MCLK: The circuit gets clocked by an 11.0592MHz MASTER CLOCK from external which
is the frequency reference for all RX and TX functions. Since this circuit is working as a
narrow band FSK-modem, the precision of this clock is very critical.
CKSYS: The master-clock divided by 2 is presented at the output CKSYS. In test-mode1 this
pin is used to measure the FSK_ZC signal. In test-mode 2 this pin is used to measure the
PLL-output SC-CLK. In test-mode 3 this pin is used to measure the PLL-output Fmixer.
TxEnI: Transmission gets initialized by setting the input signal TxEn to low. When ZCEN
(zero-crossing TX-sync) is disabled, the internal signal TxEnI is following and setting the
TX-driver active immediately. When ZCEN is enabled, the signal TxEnI is set to low after
the high-going edge of ZC-input after TxEn was forced low.

the TST-Reg. to H. In default mode (asynchr. TXD) the CKR/T gets synchronised by
TXD-edges with a clock 64 times the baud-rate.
TX-TIMEOUT: There is a timeout-function implemented which sets the device back to
receive-mode (TxEnI=H) after 3 seconds of transmission. This timeout-function can be
disabled by setting the contol-bit MMV by the serial interface. In test-mode 2 and 3 the 3sec
timeout is divided by 256 to 11.7ms to reduce test-time.

There is one FREQUENCY-SYNTHESISER used to generate the
FSK-signal.
With the input signal TXD strobed with the high going edge of CKTX the control input of the
synthesiser gets modified which results in frequency shift corresponding to the data-input.
In receive-mode, the same synthesiser is used to generate the Mixer reference-clock.
The Mixer-Frequency Fmixer is set to a value to fold down the FSK-signal to one of two
possible IF-frequencies (2.7kHz / 5.4kHz).
The SCCLK-PLL is used to filter the phase jitter of the second frequency-synthesiser
generating the reference-clock for the SC-Filter. There is an external capacitor needed as
low-pass filtercomponent of the PLL-loop.
The BANDPASS Filter is used to limit the output-spectrum properly for power-line modem
applications.
The OUTPUT-STAGE is designed to be connected to an external buffer arrangement for
minimising the output-impedance and increasing the output-swing. The interface to the
external circuit is done with special I/O-pins allowed to operate with voltages up to +24V.
With two bias pins M1M and P1M the external buffer-stage gets biased (activated). When
these two pins are inactive, the buffer is in a high impedance-mode.
1.2.1 FREQ-GEN
Since the FSK-signal shall be programmable in steps of 150Hz, and the CKSYS
clock-frequency is 5.5296MHz the following structure is used for frequency generation:

The SC-CLK is defined to be 16
times the center-frequency of the
bandpass filters.
For generating the FSK or MIXERfrequency, Fsynth gets divided by 16
for generation of proper DAC input
signals.
This means for both synthesisers the
frequency steps are 2400Hz.
To get a resolution of 2400Hz a
division by 2304 has to be done by subtraction of 2304 whenever the contents of the
SUM-REG exceeds 2303.
SUBSTR = 5529.6kHz / 2.4kHz = 2304 (=> res 2048+256)
To generate mark-frequencies in the range of 63.9 ... 140.55kHz, the adder factor Nmark has
to be:
Nmark = 16*Fmark / 2.4kHz
To cover the wanted frequency-range with a 9 bit word, a fixed number of 426 is added.

space to mark within half the bit-time with 3 intermediate frequencies.

In receive-mode(TxEn=1), a constant number Nmix defined by BD1 gets added to Nmark
instead of the output of the M/S-UDC. This gives a constant frequency which is used as
Mixer-frequency to fold the FSK-signal down to 2.7kHz or 5.4kHz. According to the
mixer-frequency the IF-SC-CLK is defined by the timing-block (see 1.1.3).

The second frequency-synthesiser which is a similar structure as described for generating the
FSK-frequencies, is generating the target-frequency for the SCCLK-PLL. To get no
disturbing components, the phase-jitter of the synthesiser has to be reduced by the PLL.
There is a capacitor needed as external low-pass filter, to define the frequency response of the
PLL-loop. To generate the right target-frequency, one half of modulation-depth which is a
factor of 2 or 4 dependent on BD1 has to be added to Nmark. Since the center-frequency is a
very critical parameter, there is a possibility implemented for adjustment by wafersort-trim.

1.2.2 TX-BPF
The staircase waveform generated by the FG-DAC in combination with the divider by 16 has
to be filtered by an anti-aliasing filter because the SC-Filter clock is not synchronous to the
FSK-signal. There is a 6th order bandpass filter, which is also used as receive-filter in
receive-mode, implemented to reduce the FSK-spectrum. The filter-clock gets canceled by a
smoothing filter at the end of this filter-chain.
Both, AAF and SMF will be designed in a way to move their corner-frequencies according to
the frequency-band programmation. With the help of the resonator built with the transformer
and attached capacitor, the unwanted frequencies (SC-clk, harmonics) are attenuated so that
the signal spectrum at the transformer-output passes the following specification

1.2.3 Output-Stage
AS5502: The output stage is designed to amplify the FSK-signal by a factor of 7 with the
help of an external buffer-stage to 14Vpp. The transfer from the 5V circuitry (asic) to the 24V
buffer-structure is done by current-source outputs. The on-chip resistor-network is done in a
way to shift the DC-operating point from 2.5V (on chip) to 12V (ext. buffer). With this
output-voltage a transformer with a ratio of 2.5:1 can be used (VLmax=2Vrms). The buffer
gives a very low impedance which is needed to modulate the power-line (Line-impedance: 5
.. 150ohm).
AS5501 is available for 12V buffer-supply
- amplification-factor: 3.5 instead of 7.0
- buffer DC-operating point: 6V instead of 12V

With the bias-current outputs M1M and P1M the transistors T5 and
T6 get switched on and the driver stage is activated. The TxOut1,2 output-currents are in the
range of 3mA with complementary AC-components. For stability-reasons it is needed to
place a capacitor of 150pF from node VX to VSS.
The circuit with T1-T4 is a unity gain buffer structure. The transformer with attached
capacitor Cr gives a resonator for the used frequency-band.

In receive-mode, when the bias-currents are turned off, the base of the two output-transistors
are forced by resistors of 100k (Rx) to 0V and Vbuf respectively to guarantee high impedance
of the buffer. The current of the pins TxOut1,2 is 0 (VX is floating). Since the receiver-AGC
is reacting on signal levels at the RXBPF-filter output, high outband noise-components could
give clipping in the first stages of the receiver path. To avoid this, aa attenuation of 16dB
with R2, R3, C3 is realized.

The resistors R1, R2, R3 are calculated to have a DC-voltages of Vbuf/2 at node Vout and

Data Sheet
The received signal gets filtered by the BANDPASS filter. An AGC-function is implemented
in this filter, to have improved performance over a wide range of input signal amplitude. The
filtered signal gets transferred to a low frequency band by the use of an MIXER-CIRCUIT so
that the frequency-band can be further reduced by an additional IF_BANDPASS. The
IF-filter output-signal gets DEMODULATED, FILTERED and SYNCHRONIZED to a
receive-clock. In receive mode the CLOCK-RECOVERY circuit is generating the
receive-clock locked to the RX-data edges. The input signal gets compared with a fixed
CARRIER DETECT threshold to get valid RX-data to be further processed by the connected
CPU only.
1.3.1 RXBPF
The bandpass-filter eliminates the frequency components which are not of interest. The
Bandwidth is programmable in 3 steps with the control-bits RXBW1 and RXBW2.

The center-frequency of the filter is defined by the SC-Clock-Frequency (MRK-REG and the
bits BD1,2) in steps of 150Hz. (See paragraph 1.2.1 FREG_GEN).

As already mentioned in the transmitter description, the AAF and SMF of the bandpass-filter
are tuned according to the SC-Clock and therefore to the BPF-centerfrequency.
An additional attenuation of the mains-frequency (50Hz ..) is not needed because of the
external coupling which is already a very good filter for that.
The input-voltage range which has to be handled is 1.5mV ... 1.5Vrms. The signal of the
input-pin RXIN gets buffered and lowpass-filtered by the RXBUF with a fixed gain of 0.66.
(Max. input level 14Vpp@transformer =>2.2Vpp@Rxin =>1.5Vpp@FilterInput)
The gain of the SC-BPF is controlled by the AGC loop to keep the filter-output RXO
constant at 1.0Vp for a wide range of input-dynamic. In total there is a variable gain from -3.6
to +41.4dB in steps of 1dB.

1.3.3 MIXER
There are two mixer stages implemented. The analog mixer (default) consists of an unity-gain
amplifier-stage which is switched to inverting or non-inverting mode by the mixer-reference
clock. The digital mixer, enabled with bit TEST_D5=H, consist of a comparator-stage with
hysteresis of appr. 50mV with which the BPF-output gets transferred to digital. This signal
gets combined with the mixer reference clock by an EXOR-gate.
For the two different modulation-depths, different intermediate frequencies are generated by
proper generation of the reference-frequency. (see paragr.: 1.2.1 FREG-GEN)

1.3.5 DEMOD & DATAFIL
The output of the IF-BPF gets transferred to digital by an comparator with pos. AC-feedback
Vhyst~10mV. The periode-time is then measured by a counter which gets set to a proper
starting point, so that at the end of a measurement-periode the frequency-delta is represented
by a 4 bit word. This digital information is transformed again into analog by an DAC which
is included to the input-stage of the SC-Datafilter. No AAF is needed because the DAC is
synchronised with the filter. The unity-gain datafilter can be programmed to three different
corner-frequencies according to the Baudrates of 600,1200 and 2400Hz.

1.3.7 CKR-GEN
There is a digital pll for receive-clock reconstruction. The signal RXDA (async. RXD) gets
synchronised by this clock which then gives the synchronous receive data signal RXD.
A multiplexer is used to select RXDA or RXD to be transferred to the pin RXD by the use of
a control bit "ASYN". The signal RXDA is used to verify the Mixer and DataFil-structure.
A second multiplexer selects CKRX or CKTX to be transferred to pin CLKR/T by the use of
control signal "TxEn". In synchronouse-mode RXD is valid at the high going edge of
CKR/T.
1.4 TEST-MUX
A test-input pin, a test-output pin with attached buffer and multiplexers are used to have
access to some internal nodes for testing. To have access to internal nodes of the receiver in
normal receive operation, the bit TEST_D6 can be set to H for avoiding TST_IN function.
The asic is forced to one of these test-modes by setting the control-bits TEST1 and TEST2.

Mux-State 0 (Normal Operation): In normal operation the test-muxes are in position 0. In
this configuration, the reference voltage VREF (2.5V) is present at pin TST-OUT.
In this mode the reset and TX-timeout counter are bypassed with TST-IN set to H.

Mux-State 1(IF-Test):
In this mode the IFBPF can be measured by forcing the IFI via pin TST-IN and measuring
IFO via pin TST-OUT. With pin CKSYS the FSK-ZC signal can be measured.
Mux-State 2 (TXPATH / RXO):
In this mode the TXPATH can be measured by forcing TXI via pin TST-IN and measuring
the TX-Output-Stage output. The SC-CLK can be measured via pin CKSYS. The receiver
bandpass filter can be measured by forcing RXIN and measuring TST-OUT (RXO).
Mux-State 3 (DPLL / DATAFIL):
In this mode the input of the RX-DPLL can be forced by TST-IN for digital verification of
this block. Further the output of the data LP-filter can be measured at TST-OUT. The
MIXER- PLL output can be measured via pin CKSYS.
TX Timeout / RES-Delay Test-Mode: With bit "Test2" set to 1 the TX-timeout (3sec) and
the RES-Delay (300ms) gets reduced by a factor of 256 for production test.
ASYN Test-Mode: The contol-bit "ASYN" is used for global verification of the
receiver-block and especially for verification of the MIXER and the DataFilter by measuring
the RXDA-jitter (isochronous-distortion).

1.5 Supply and Analog Ground
There are two different pairs of supply pins, one for analog (AVSS,AVDD) and one for
digital (DVSS, DVDD). The two VSS-pins have to be at the same level to avoid
substrate-current. The two VDD-pins should not differ more than 0.25V. The reason for
splitting the supply lines is to avoid noise from the digital circuit injected to the analog
section.
The analog-ground is generated by resistive division of the supply-voltage to AVDD/2. Since
the SC-clock is working in the range of >1MHz, an external capacitor of 1uF is needed to
decouple the AGND to AVSS.
There has to be sufficient decoupling from AVDD to AVSS and from DVDD to DVSS
separately. Usually a combination of a 10uF tantal and 100nF ceramic-capacitor is used
dependent on the supply structure.
