1 General Description
The AS3932 is a 3-channel low power ASK receiver that is able to
generate a wake-up upon detection of a data signal which uses a LF
carrier frequency between 110 - 150 kHz. The integrated correlator
can be used for detection of a programmable 16-bit wake-up pattern.
The device can operate using one, two, or three active channels.
The AS3932 provides a digital RSSI value for each active channel, it
supports a programmable data rate. The AS3932 offers a real-time
clock (RTC), which is either derived from a crystal oscillator or the
internal RC oscillator.
The programmable features of AS3932 enable to optimize its
settings for achieving a longer distance while retaining a reliable
wake-up generation. The sensitivity level of AS3932 can be adjusted
in presence of a strong field or in noisy environments.
The device is available in 16-pin TSSOP and 16LD QFN (4x4)
packages.

8 Detailed Description
The AS3932 is a three-dimensional low power low-frequency wake-up receiver. The AS3932 is capable to detect the presence of an inductive
coupled carrier and extract the envelope of the On-Off-Keying (OOK) modulated carrier. In case the carrier is Manchester coded the clock is
recovered from the transmitted signal and the data can be correlated with a programmed pattern. If the detected pattern corresponds to the
stored one a wake-up signal (IRQ) is risen up. The pattern correlation can be bypassed in which case the wake-up detection is based only on the
frequency detection.
The AS3932 is made up by three independent receiving channels, one envelop detector, one data correlator, 8 programmable registers with the
main logic and a real time clock.
The digital logic can be accessed by an SPI. The real time clock can be based on a crystal oscillator or on an internal RC one. If the internal RC
oscillator is used, a calibration procedure can be performed to improve its accuracy.

AS3932 needs the following external components:
Power supply capacitor - CBAT – 100 nF
32.768 kHz crystal with its two pulling capacitors – XTAL and CL – (it is possible to omit these components if the internal RC
oscillator is
used instead of the crystal oscillator).
One, two, or three LC resonators according to the number of used channels.
In case the internal RC-oscillator is used (no crystal oscillator is mounted), the pin XIN has to be connected to the supply, while pin XOUT should
stay floating. Application diagrams with and without crystal are shown in Figure 1 and Figure 2
8.1 Operating Modes
8.1.1
Power Down Mode
In Power Down Mode AS3932 is completely switched off. The typical current consumption is 400 nA.
8.1.2
Listening Mode
In listening mode only the active channel amplifiers and the RTC are running. In this mode the system detects the presence of a carrier. In case
the carrier is detected the RSSI can be displayed.
If the three dimensional detection is not required it is possible to deactivate one or more channels. In case only two channels are required the
deactivated channel must be the number two, while if only one channel detection is needed the active channel must be the number one.
Inside this mode it is possible to distinguish the following three sub modes:
Standard Listening mode. All channels are active at the same time
Scanning mode (Low Power mode 1). All used channels are active, but only one per time slot, where the time slot T is defined as 1ms.
Thus, if all three channels are active the procedure is as follows (see Figure 11): for the first millisecond only channel one is active while channel
two and three are powered down; for the next millisecond only channel three is active while channel one and two are powered down; finally,
channel two is active while the other two are deactivated. This channel rotation goes on until the presence of the carrier is detected by any of the
channels; then immediately all three channels will become active at the same time. Now AS3932 can perform a simultaneous multidirectional
evaluation (on all three channels) of the field and evaluate which channel has the strongest RSSI. The channel with the highest RSSI will be put
through to the demodulator. In this way it is possible to perform multidirectional monitoring of the field with a current consumption of a single
channel, keeping the sensitivity as good as if all channels are active at the same time.

ON/OFF mode (Low Power mode 2). All active channels are on at the same time but not for the whole time (time slot T is defined as 1ms).
An on-off duty-ratio is defined. This duty ratio is programmable see R4<7:6>.

time
For each of these sub modes it is possible to enable a further feature called Artificial Wake-up. The Artificial Wake-up is a counter based on the
used RTC. Three bits define a time window see R8<2:0>. If no activity is seen within this time window the chip will produce an interrupt on the
WAKE pin that lasts 128 µs. With this interrupt the microcontroller (µC) can get feedback on the surrounding environment (e.g. read the false
wake-up register R13<7:0>) and/or take actions in order to change the setup.
8.1.3
Preamble Detection / Pattern Correlation
The preamble detection and pattern correlation are only considered for the wake-up when the data correlator function is enabled (see R1<1>).
The correlator searches first for preamble frequency (constant frequency of Manchester clock defined according to bit-rate transmission, see
Table 19) and then for data pattern.
If the pattern is matched the wake-up interrupt is displayed on the WAKE output and the chip goes in Data receiving mode. If the pattern fails the
internal wake-up (on all active channels) is terminated and no IRQ is produced.
8.1.4
Data Receiving
After a successful wake-up the chip enters the data receiving mode. In this mode the chip can be retained a normal OOK receiver. The received
data are streamed out on the pin DAT. It is possible to put the chip back to listening mode either with a direct command (CLEAR_WAKE (see
Table 12)) or by using the timeout feature. This feature automatically sets the chip back to listening mode after a certain time R7<7:5>.

SDI Command Structure. To program the SDI the CS signal has to go high. A SDI command is made up by a two bytes serial command and
the data is sampled on the falling edge of SCLK. The Table 9 shows how the command looks like, from the MSB (B15) to LSB (B0). The
command stream has to be sent to the SDI from the MSB (B15) to the LSB (B0).

Reading of Data from Addressable Registers (READ Mode). Once the address has been sent through SDI, the data can be fed
through the SDO pin out to the microcontroller.
A CS LOW toggling high-low-high has to be performed after finishing the read mode session, in order to indicate the end of the READ command
and prepare the Interface to the next command control Byte.
To transfer bytes from consecutive addresses, SDI master has to keep the CS signal high and the SCLK clock has to be active as long as data
need to be read.

8.3 Channel Amplifier and Frequency Detector
Each of the 3 channels consists of a variable gain amplifier, an automatic gain control and a frequency detector. The latter detects the presence
of a carrier. As soon as the carrier is detected the AGC is enabled, the gain of the VGA is reduced and set to the right value and the RSSI can be
displayed.
It is possible to enable/disable individual channels, in case not all three channels are needed. This enables to reduce the current consumption by
1.5 µA (typ.) per channel.
8.3.1
Frequency Detector / AGC
The frequency detection uses the RTC as time base. In case the internal RC oscillator is used as RTC, it must be calibrated, but the calibration
is guaranteed for a 32.768 kHz crystal oscillator only. The frequency detection criteria can be tighter or more relaxed according to the setup
described in R2<1:0> (see Table 14).

The AGC can operate in two modes:
AGC down only (R1<5>=0)
AGC up and down (R1<5>=1)
As soon as the AGC starts to operate, the gain in the VGA is set to maximum. If the AGC down only mode is selected, the AGC can only
decrease the gain. Since the RSSI is directly derived from the VGA gain, the system holds the RSSI peak.
When the AGC up and down mode is selected, the RSSI can follow the input signal strength variation in both directions.
Regardless which AGC operation mode is used, the AGC needs maximum 35 carrier periods to settle.
The RSSI is available for all 3 channels at the same time and it is stored in 3 registers (R10<4:0>, R11<4:0>, R12<4:0>)
Both AGC modes (only down or down and up) can also operate with time limitation. This option allows AGC operation only in time slot of 256µs
following the internal wake-up. Then the AGC (RSSI) is frozen till the wake-up or RSSI reset occurs.
The RSSI is reset either with the direct command 'clear_wakeup' or 'reset_RSSI'. The 'reset_RSSI' command resets only the AGC setting but
does not terminate wake-up condition. This means that if the signal is still present the new AGC setting (RSSI) will appear not later than 300µs
(35 LF carrier periods) after the command was received. The AGC setting is reset if for duration of 3 Manchester half symbols no carrier is
detected. If the wake-up IRQ is cleared the chip will go back to listening mode.
In case the maximum amplification at the beginning is a drawback (e.g. in noisy environment) it is possible to set a smaller starting gain on the
amplifier, according to the Table 15. In this way it is possible to reduce the false frequency detection.

8.3.2
Antenna Damper
The antenna damper allows the chip to deal with higher field strength, it is enabled by register R1<4>. It consists of shunt resistors which
degrade the quality factor of the resonator by reducing the signal at the input of the amplifier. In this way the resonator sees a smaller parallel
resistance (in the band of interest) which degrades its quality factor in order to increase the linear range of the channel amplifier (the amplifier
doesn't saturate in presence of bigger signals). Table 16 shows the bit setup.

8.4 Channel Selector / Demodulator / Data Slicer
When at least one of three gain channel enters initial wake-up state the channel selector makes a decision which gain channel to connect to the
envelope detector. If only one channel is in wake-up state the selection is obvious. If more than one channel enters wake-up state in 256µs
following the first active channel the channel with highest RSSI value is selected. The output signal (amplified LF carrier) of selected channel is
connected to the input of the demodulator.
The performance of the demodulator can be optimized according to bit rate and preamble length as described in Table 17 and Table 18.

If the bit rate gets higher the time constant in the envelop detector must be set to a smaller value. This means that higher noise is injected
because of the wider band. The next table is a rough indication of how the envelop detector looks like for different bit rates. By using proper data
slicer settings it is possible to improve the noise immunity paying the penalty of a longer preamble. In fact if the data slicer has a bigger time
constant it is possible to reject more noise, but every time a transmission occurs, the data slicer need time to settle. This settling time will
influence the length of the preamble. Table 18 gives a correlation between data slicer setup and minimum required preamble length.

Note: These times are minimum required, but it is recommended to prolong the preamble.
The comparator of the data slicer can work only with positive or with symmetrical threshold (R3<6>). In addition the threshold can be 20 or 40
mV (R3<7>)
In case the length of the preamble is an issue the data slicer can also work with an absolute threshold (R1<7>). In this case the bits R3<2:0>
would not influence the performance. It is even possible to reduce the absolute threshold in case the environment is not particularly noisy
(R2<7>).
8.5 Correlator
After frequency detection the data correlation is only performed if the correlator is enabled (R1<1>=1).
The data correlation consists of checking the presence of a preamble (ON/OFF modulated carrier) followed by a certain pattern.
After the frequency detection the correlator waits 16 bits (see bit rate definition in Table 19) and if no preamble is detected the chip is set back to
listening mode and the false wake-up register (R13<7:0>) is incremented by one.
To get started with the pattern correlation the correlator needs to detect at least 4 bits of the preamble (ON/OFF modulated carrier).
The bit duration is defined in the register R7<4:0> according to the Table 19 as function of the Real Time Clock (RTC) periods.

If the preamble is detected correctly the correlator keeps searching for a data pattern. The duration of the preamble plus the pattern should not
be longer than 40 bits (see bit rate definition in Table 19). The data pattern can be defined by the user and consists of two bytes which are stored
in the registers R5<7:0> and R6<7:0>. The two bytes define the pattern consisting of 16 half bit periods. This means the pattern and the bit
period can be selected by the user. The only limitation is that the pattern (in combination with preamble) must obey Manchester coding and
timing. It must be noted that according to Manchester coding a down-to-up bit transition represents a symbol "0", while a transition up-to-down
represents a symbol "1". If the default code is used (96 [hex]) the binary code is (10 01 01 10 01 10 10 01). MSB has to be transmitted first.
The user can also select (R1<2>) if single or double data pattern is used for wake-up. In case double pattern detection is set, the same pattern
has to be repeated 2 times.
Additionally it is possible to set the number of allowed missing zero bits (not symbols) in the received bitstream (R2<6:5>), as shown in the
Table 20.

If the pattern matches the wake-up, interrupt is displayed on the WAKE output.
If the pattern detection fails, the internal wake-up (on all active channels) is terminated with no signal sent to MCU and the false wake-up register
will be incremented (R13<7:0>).
8.6 Wake-up Protocol - Carrier Frequency 125 kHz
The wake-up state is terminated with the direct command ‘clear_wake’ Table 12. This command terminates the MCU activity. The termination
can also be automatic in case there is no response from MCU. The time out for automatic termination is set in a register R7<7:5>, as shown in
the Table 21.

Clear_wake
In case the data correlation is disabled (R1<1>=0) the AS3932 wakes up upon detection of the carrier frequency only as shown in Figure 18. In
order to ensure that AS3932 wakes up the carrier burst has to last longer than 550 µs. To set AS3932 back to listening mode there are two
possibilities: either the microcontroller sends the direct command clear_wake via SDI or the time out option is used (R7<7:5>). In case the latter
is chosen, AS3932 is automatically set to listening mode after the time defined in T_OUT (R7<7:5>), counting starts at the low-to-high WAKE
edge on the WAKE pin.
8.6.2
Single Pattern Detection
The Figure 19 shows the wake-up protocol in case the pattern correlation is enabled (R1<1>=1) for a 125 kHz carrier frequency. The initial
carrier burst has to be longer than 550 µs and can last maximum 16 bits (see bit rate definition in Table 19). If the ON/OFF mode is used
(R1<5>=1), the minimum value of the maximum carrier burst duration is limited to 10 ms. This is summarized in Table 22. In case the carrier
burst is too long the internal wake-up will be set back to low and the false wake-up counter (R13<7:0>) will be incremented by one. The carrier
burst must be followed by a preamble (0101... modulated carrier with a bit duration defined in Table 19) and the wake-up pattern stored in the
registers R5<7:0> and R6<7:0>. The preamble must have at least 4 bits and the preamble duration together with the pattern should not be
longer than 40 bits. If the wake-up pattern is correct, the signal on the WAKE pin goes high one bit after the end of the pattern and the data
transmission can get started. To set the chip back to listening mode the direct command clear_wake, as well as the time out option (R7<7:5>)
can be used.

8.7 False Wake-up Register
The wake-up strategy in the AS3932 is based on 2 steps:
1. Frequency Detection: in this phase the frequency of the received signal is checked.
2. Pattern Correlation: here the pattern is demodulated and checked whether it corresponds to the valid one.
If there is a disturber or noise capable to overcome the first step (frequency detection) without producing a valid pattern, then a false wake-up call
happens.Each time this event is recognized a counter is incremented by one and the respective counter value is stored in a memory cell (false
wake-up register). Thus, the microcontroller can periodically look at the false wake-up register, to get a feeling how noisy the surrounding
environment is and can then react accordingly (e.g. reducing the gain of the LNA during frequency detection, set the AS3932 temporarily to
power down etc.), as shown in the Figure 20. The false wake-up counter is a useful tool to quickly adapt the system to any changes in the noise
environment and thus avoid false wake-up events.
Most wake-up receivers have to deal with environments that can rapidly change. By periodically monitoring the number of false wake-up events
it is possible to adapt the system setup to the actual characteristics of the environment and enables a better use of the full flexibility of AS3932.

8.8 Real Time Clock (RTC)
The RTC can be based on a crystal oscillator (R1<0>=1), the internal RC-oscillator (R1<0>=0), or an external clock source (R1<0>=1). The
crystal oscillator has higher precision of the frequency with higher current consumption and needs three external components (crystal plus two
capacitors). The RC-oscillator is completely integrated and can be calibrated if a reference signal is available for a very short time to improve the
frequency accuracy. The calibration gets started with the trim_osc direct command. Since no non-volatile memory is available the calibration
must be done every time after the RCO is turned off. The RCO is turned off when the chip is in power down mode, a POR happened, or the
crystal oscillator is enabled. Since the RTC defines the time base of the frequency detection, the selected frequency (frequency of the crystal
oscillator or the reference frequency used for calibration of the RC oscillator) should be about one forth of the carrier frequency:
FRTC ~ FCAR * 0.25
(EQ 1)
Where: FCAR is the carrier frequency and FRTC is the RTC frequency
The third option for the RTC is the use of an external clock source, which must be applied directly to the XIN pin (XOUT floating).

To trim the RC-Oscillator, set the chip select (CS) to high before sending the direct command trim_osc over SDI. Then 65 digital clock cycles of
the reference clock (e.g. 32.768 kHz) have to be sent on the clock bus (SCLK), as shown in Figure 21. After that the signal on the chip select
(CS) has to be pulled down.
The calibration is effective after the 65th reference clock edge and it will be stored in a volatile memory. In case the RC-oscillator is switched off
or a power-on-reset happens (e.g. battery change) the calibration has to be repeated.

External Clock Source
To clock the AS3932 with an external signal the crystal oscillator has to be enabled (R1<0>=1). As shown in the Figure 3 the clock must be
applied on the pin XIN while the pin XOUT must stay floating. The RC time constant has to be 15µs with a tolerance of ±10% (e.g. R=680 kΩ
and C=22pF). In the Table 25 the clock characteristics are summarized.

8.9 Channel Selection in Scanning Mode and ON/OFF Mode
In case only 2 channels are active and one of the Low Power modes is enabled, then the channels 1 and 3 have to be active. If the chip works in
On-Off mode and only one channel is active then the active channel has to be the channel 1.
Both Low Power modes are not allowed to be enabled at the same time.
