It can also be used for any other system with carrier frequencies ranging from 290 MHz to 350 MHz. The transmitter's carrier frequency fc is determined by the frequency of the reference crystal fref. The integrated PLL synthesizer ensures that carrier frequencies, ranging from 290 MHz to 350 MHz, can be achieved. This is done by using a crystal with a reference frequency according to: fref = fc/N, where N = 32 is the PLL feedback divider ratio. 3901072002 Rev. 007 Page 1 of 20 Data Sheet June/07 TH72002 315MHz ASK Transmitter Document Content 1 Theory of Operation ...................................................................................................3 1.1 General............................................................................................................................. 3 1.2 Block Diagram .................................................................................................................. 3 2 Functional Description ..............................................................................................4 2.1 Crystal Oscillator .............................................................................................................. 4 2.2 ASK Modulation................................................................................................................ 4 2.3 Crystal Pulling................................................................................................................... 4 2.4 Output Power Selection.................................................................................................... 5 2.5 Lock Detection.................................................................................................................. 5 2.6 Low Voltage Detection...................................................................................................... 5 2.7 Mode Control Logic .......................................................................................................... 6 2.8 Timing Diagrams .............................................................................................................. 6 3 Pin Definition and Description ..................................................................................7 4 Electrical Characteristics ..........................................................................................8 4.1 Absolute Maximum Ratings .............................................................................................. 8 4.2 Normal Operating Conditions ........................................................................................... 8 4.3 Crystal Parameters ........................................................................................................... 8 4.4 DC Characteristics............................................................................................................ 9 4.5 AC Characteristics .......................................................................................................... 10 4.6 Output Power Steps ....................................................................................................... 10 5 Typical Operating Characteristics ..........................................................................11 5.1 DC Characteristics.......................................................................................................... 11 5.2 AC Characteristics .......................................................................................................... 14 6 Test Circuit ...............................................................................................................17 6.1 7 Test circuit component list to Fig. 18 .............................................................................. 17 Package Description ................................................................................................18 7.1 Soldering Information ..................................................................................................... 18 8 Reliability Information..............................................................................................19 9 ESD Precautions ......................................................................................................19 10 Disclaimer .................................................................................................................20 3901072002 Rev. 007 Page 2 of 20 Data Sheet June/07 TH72002 315MHz ASK Transmitter 1 Theory of Operation 1.1 General As depicted in Fig.1, the TH72002 transmitter consists of a fully integrated voltage-controlled oscillator (VCO), a divide-by-32 divider (div32), a phase-frequency detector (PFD) and a charge pump (CP). An internal loop filter determines the dynamic behavior of the PLL and suppresses reference spurious signals. A Colpitts crystal oscillator (XOSC) is used as the reference oscillator of a phase-locked loop (PLL) synthesizer. The VCO’s output signal feeds the power amplifier (PA). The RF signal power Pout can be adjusted in four steps from Pout = –12 dBm to +11 dBm, either by changing the value of resistor RPS or by varying the voltage VPS at pin PSEL. The open-collector output (OUT) can be used either to directly drive a loop antenna or to be matched to a 50Ohm load. Bandgap biasing ensures stable operation of the IC at a power supply range of 1.95 V to 5.5 V. 1.2 Block Diagram RPS VCC 6 PSEL ASKDTA 5 1 PLL ENTX 4 mode control 32 ROI PA 7 OUT antenna matching network PFD 3 XOSC XBUF XTAL CX1 CP VCO low voltage detector 2 8 VEE Fig. 1: 3901072002 Rev. 007 Block diagram with external components Page 3 of 20 Data Sheet June/07 TH72002 315MHz ASK Transmitter 2 Functional Description 2.1 Crystal Oscillator A Colpitts crystal oscillator with integrated functional capacitors is used as the reference oscillator for the PLL synthesizer. The equivalent input capacitance CRO offered by the crystal oscillator input pin ROI is about 18pF. The crystal oscillator is provided with an amplitude control loop in order to have a very stable frequency over the specified supply voltage and temperature range in combination with a short start-up time. 2.2 ASK Modulation The PLL transmitter can be ASK-modulated by applying a data stream directly at the pin ASKDTA. This turns the internal current sources of the power amplifier on and off and therefore leads to an ASK signal at the output. 2.3 ASKDTA Description 0 Power amplifier is turned off 1 Power amplifier is turned on (according to the selected output power step) Crystal Pulling A crystal is tuned by the manufacturer to the required oscillation frequency f0 at a given load capacitance CL and within the specified calibration tolerance. The only way to pull the oscillation frequency is to vary the effective load capacitance CLeff seen by the crystal. Figure 2 shows the oscillation frequency of a crystal as a function of the effective load capacitance. This figure also illustrates the relationship between the external pulling capacitor and the center frequency. It can be seen that the pulling sensitivity increases with the reduction of CL. For highaccuracy ASK applications, a higher load capacitance should be chosen in order to reduce the frequency drift caused by the tolerances of the chip and the external pulling capacitor. f XTAL L1 C1 CL eff R1 fc CL= Fig. 2: 3901072002 Rev. 007 C0 CX1 CRO CX1+CRO CL eff Crystal pulling characteristic Page 4 of 20 Data Sheet June/07 TH72002 315MHz ASK Transmitter 2.4 Output Power Selection The transmitter is provided with an output power selection feature. There are four predefined output power steps and one off-step accessible via the power selection pin PSEL. A digital power step adjustment was chosen because of its high accuracy and stability. The number of steps and the step sizes as well as the corresponding power levels are selected to cover a wide spectrum of different applications. The implementation of the output power control logic is shown in figure 3. There are two matched current sources with an amount of about 8 µA. One current source is directly applied to the PSEL pin. The other current source is used for the generation of reference voltages with a resistor ladder. These reference voltages are defining the thresholds between the power steps. The four comparators deliver thermometer-coded control signals depending on the voltage level at the pin PSEL. In order to have a certain amount of ripple tolerance in a noisy environment the comparators are provided with a little hysteresis of about 20 mV. With these control signals, weighted current sources of the power amplifier are switched on or off to set the desired output power level (Digitally Controlled Current Source). The LOCK, ASK signal and the output of the low voltage detector are gating this current source. RPS PSEL & ASKDTA & & & & OUT Fig. 3: Block diagram of output power control circuitry There are two ways to select the desired output power step. First by applying a DC voltage at the pin PSEL, then this voltage directly selects the desired output power step. This kind of power selection can be used if the transmission power must be changed during operation. For a fixed-power application a resistor can be used which is connected from the PSEL pin to ground. The voltage drop across this resistor selects the desired output power level. For fixed-power applications at the highest power step this resistor can be omitted. The pin PSEL is in a high impedance state during the “TX standby” mode. 2.5 Lock Detection The lock detection circuitry turns on the power amplifier only after PLL lock. This prevents from unwanted emission of the transmitter if the PLL is unlocked. 2.6 Low Voltage Detection The supply voltage is sensed by a low voltage detect circuitry. The power amplifier is turned off if the supply voltage drops below a value of about 1.85 V. This is done in order to prevent unwanted emission of the transmitter if the supply voltage is too low. 3901072002 Rev. 007 Page 5 of 20 Data Sheet June/07 TH72002 315MHz ASK Transmitter 2.7 Mode Control Logic The mode control logic allows two different modes of operation as listed in the following table. The mode control pin ENTX is pulleddown internally. This guarantees that the whole circuit is shut down if this pin is left floating. 2.8 ENTX Mode Description 0 TX standby TX disabled 1 TX active TX enable Timing Diagrams After enabling the transmitter by the ENTX signal, the power amplifier remains inactive for the time ton, the transmitter start-up time. The crystal oscillator starts oscillation and the PLL locks to the desired output frequency within the time duration ton. After successful PLL lock, the LOCK signal turns on the power amplifier, and then the RF carrier can be ASK modulated. high ENTX low high LOCK low high ASKDTA low RF carrier t t on Fig. 4: 3901072002 Rev. 007 Timing diagram for ASK modulation Page 6 of 20 Data Sheet June/07 TH72002 315MHz ASK Transmitter 3 Pin Definition and Description Pin No. 1 Name ASKDTA I/O Type Functional Schematic 0: ENTX=1 1: ENTX=0 input 1.5kΩ ASKDTA 1 2 n. c. 3 ROI Description ASK data input, CMOS compatible with operation mode dependent pull-up circuit TX standby: no pull-up TX active: pull-up no connection analog I/O XOSC connection to XTAL, Colpitts type crystal oscillator 25k ROI 3 36p 36p 4 ENTX input mode control input, CMOS-compatible with internal pull-down circuit 1.5kΩ ENTX 4 5 PSEL power select input, highimpedance comparator logic analog I/O IPSEL PSEL 1.5kΩ TX standby: IPSEL = 0 TX active: IPSEL = 8µA 5 6 VCC supply 7 OUT output positive power supply VCC OUT power amplifier output, open collector 7 VEE 8 VEE 3901072002 Rev. 007 VEE ground negative power supply Page 7 of 20 Data Sheet June/07 TH72002 315MHz ASK Transmitter 4 Electrical Characteristics 4.1 Absolute Maximum Ratings Parameter Symbol Condition Min Max Unit Supply voltage VCC 0 7.0 V Input voltage VIN -0.3 VCC+0.3 V Storage temperature TSTG -65 150 °C Junction temperature TJ 150 °C Thermal Resistance RthJA 163 K/W Power dissipation Pdiss 0.12 W Electrostatic discharge VESD human body model (HBM) according to CDF-AECQ100-002 ±2.0 kV 4.2 Normal Operating Conditions Parameter Symbol Condition Min Max Unit Supply voltage VCC 1.95 5.5 V Operating temperature TA -40 125 °C Input low voltage CMOS VIL ENTX, ASKDTA pins 0.3*VCC V Input high voltage CMOS VIH ENTX, ASKDTA pins XOSC frequency fref set by the crystal VCO frequency fc fc = 32 • fref Data rate R NRZ 0.7*VCC V 9 10.9 MHz 290 350 MHz 40 kbit/s Min Max Unit 9 10.9 MHz 10 15 pF 4.3 Crystal Parameters Parameter Symbol Condition Crystal frequency f0 Load capacitance CL Static capacitance C0 7 pF Series resistance R1 70 Ω 3901072002 Rev. 007 fundamental mode, AT Page 8 of 20 Data Sheet June/07 TH72002 315MHz ASK Transmitter 4.4 DC Characteristics all parameters under normal operating conditions, unless otherwise stated;
