Evaluation Board Description
General Description
The TH7120 is a single chip FSK/FM/ASK transceiver IC. It is designed to operate in low-power multi-channel
programmable or single-channel stand-alone, half-duplex data transmission systems. It can be used for ISM,
SRD or similar applications operating in the frequency ranging of 300 MHz to 930 MHz.
The TH7120 transceiver IC consists of the following building blocks:
"

"
"
"
"
"
"
"
"
"
"
"
"
Low-noise amplifier (LNA) for high-sensitivity RF signal reception with switchable gain
Mixer (MIX) for RF-to-IF down-conversion
IF amplifier (IFA) to amplify and limit the IF signal and for RSSI generation
Phase-coincidence demodulator with external ceramic discriminator (FSK Demodulator)
Operational amplifier, connected to demodulator output (OA1)
Operational amplifier, integrator circuit at FSK-AFC mode (OA2)
Control logic with 3wire bus serial control interface (SCI)
Reference oscillator (RO) with external crystal
Reference divider (R counter)
Programmable divider (N/A counter)
Phase-frequency detector (PFD)
Charge pump (CP)
Voltage control oscillator (VCO) with internal varactor
Power amplifier (PA) with adjustable output power

The transceiver can be used either as a 3wire-bus-controlled programmable or as a stand-alone fixedfrequency device. After power up, the transceiver is set to fixed-frequency mode. In this mode, pins
FS0/SDEN and FS1/LD must be connected to VEE or VCC in order to set the desired frequency of operation.
The logic levels at pins FS0/SDEN and FS1/LD must not be changed after power up in order to remain in
fixed-frequency mode.
After the first logic level change at pin FS0/SDEN, the transceiver enters into programmable mode while pin
FS1/LD is now a PLL lock detector output. In this mode, the user can set any PLL frequency or mode of operation by the SCI.

Stand-Alone Fixed-Frequency Operation
After power up the transceiver is set to fixed-frequency mode. In this mode, pins FS0/SDEN and FS1/LD
must be connected to VEE or VCC to set the desired frequency of operation. The logic levels at pins FS0/SDEN
and FS1/LD must not be changed after power up in order to remain in fixed-frequency mode. The default
settings of the control word bits in stand-alone mode are described in the frequency selection table.

Programmable Channel Operation
Serial Control Interface Description
A 3-wire (SCLK, SDTA, SDEN) Serial Control Interface (SCI) is used to program the transceiver in multichannel mode (see Fig. 2). At each rising edge of the SCLK signal, the logic value on the SDTA pin is written
into a 24-bit shift register. The data stored in the shift register are loaded into one of the 4 appropriate latches
on the rising edge of SDEN. The control words are 24 bits lengths: 2 address bits and 22 data bits. The first
two bits (bit 23 and 22) are latch address bits. As additional leading bits are ignored, only the least significant
24 bits are serial-clocked into the shift register. The first incoming bit is the most significant bit (MSB). To
program the transceiver in multi-channel application, four 24-bit words may be sent: A-word, B-word, C-word
and D-word. If individual bits within a word have to be changed, then it is sufficient to program only the appropriate 24-bit word. The serial data input timing and the structure of the control words are illustrated in Fig. 2
and 3. Table REGISTER SETTINGS describes the function of each bit.
