Theory of Operation
1.1
General
The main building block of the transceiver is a programmable PLL frequency synthesizer that is based on an
integer-N topology. The PLL is used for generating the carrier frequency during transmission and for
generating the LO signal during reception. The carrier frequency can be FSK-modulated by pulling the
crystal and ASK-modulated by on/off keying of the power amplifier. The receiver is based on the principle of
a single conversion superhet. Therefore the VCO frequency has to be changed between transmit and
receive mode. In receive mode, the preferred LO injection type is low-side injection.
The TH7122 transceiver IC consists of the following building blocks:
"

"
"
"
"
"
1.2
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 (OA1), connected to
demodulator output
Operational amplifier (OA2), for geral use
Peak detector (PKDET) for ASK detection

User Mode Features
The transceiver can operate in two different user modes. It can be used either as a 3wire-bus-controlled
programmable or as a stand-alone fixed-frequency device. After power up, the transceiver is set to Standalone User Mode (SUM). 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. There are 4 pre-defined frequency settings: 315MHz,
433.92MHz, 868.3MHz and 915MHz. The logic level at pin FS0/SDEN 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 User Mode
(PUM). In this mode, the user can set any PLL frequency or mode of operation by the SCI. In SUM pins
FS0/SDEN and FS1/LD are used to set the desired frequency, while in PUM pin FS0/SDEN is part of the
3-wire serial control interface (SCI) and pin FS1/LD is the look detector output signal of the PLL synthesizer.
A mode control logic allows several operating modes. In addition to standby, transmit and receive mode, two
idle modes can be selected to run either the reference oscillator only or the whole PLL synthesizer. The PLL
settings for the PLL idle mode are taken over from the last operating mode which can be either receive or
transmit mode.
The different operating modes can be set in SUM and PUM as well. In SUM the user can program the
transceiver via control pins RE/SCLK and TE/SDTA. In PUM the register bits OPMODE are used to select
the modes of operation while pins RE/SCLK and TE/SDTA are part of the SCI.

Description of User Modes
2.1
Stand-alone User Mode Operation
After power up the transceiver is set to stand-alone user 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 level at pin FS0/SDEN
must not be changed after power up in order to remain in stand-alone user mode. The default settings of the
control word bits in stand-alone user mode are described in the frequency selection table. Detailed
information about the default settings can be found in the tables of section 5.

In stand-alone user mode, the transceiver can be set to Standby, Receive, Transmit or Idle mode (only PLL

set by pins ASK/FSK and GAIN_LNA, respectively.

Programmable User Mode Operation
The transceiver can also be used in programmable user mode. After power-up the first logic change at pin
FS0/SDEN enters into this mode. Now full programmability can be achieved via the Serial Control Interface
(SCI).
2.2.1
Serial Control Interface Description
A 3-wire (SCLK, SDTA, SDEN) Serial Control Interface (SCI) is used to program the transceiver in programmable user mode. 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.

27 to 930MHz Transceiver
Evaluation Board Description
Due to the static CMOS design, the SCI consumes virtually no current and it can be programmed in active
as well as in standby mode.
If the transceiver is set from standby mode to any of the active modes (idle, receive, transmit), the SCI
settings remain the same as previously set in one of the active modes, unless new settings are done on the
SCI while entering into an active mode.

Serial Data Input Timing
Register Description
As shown in the previous section there are four control words which stipulate the operation of the whole chip.
In Stand-alone User Mode SUM the intrinsic default values with respect to the applied levels at pins FS0 and
FS1 lay down the configuration of the transceiver. In Programmable User Mode (PUM) the register settings
can be changed via 3-wire interface SCI. The default settings which vary with the desired operating
frequency depend on the voltage levels at the frequency selection pins FS0 and FS1 before entering the
PUM. Table 5.1.1 shows the default register settings of different frequency selections. It should be noted that
the channel frequency listed below will be achieved with a crystal frequency of 7.1505 MHz. The following
table depicts an overview of the register configuration of the TH7122.

The control circuitry regulates the current of the oscillator core
between the values ROMAX and ROMIN. As the regulation input
signal the amplitude on pin RO is used. If the ROMIN value is
sufficient to achieve an amplitude of about 400mV on pin RO the
current of the reference oscillator core will be set to ROMIN.
Otherwise the current will be permanently regulated between
ROMAX and ROMIN. If ROMIN and ROMAX are equal no
regulation of the oscillator current occurs. Please also note the
