operation with external circuits
Industrial and Extended Temperature Range:
-40°C to +85°C (industrial)
Typical Applications:
• Automotive industry applications:
- Passive Keyless Entry (PKE) transponder
- Remote door locks and gate openers
- Engine immobilizer
- LF initiator sensor for tire pressure monitoring
systems
• Security Industry applications:
- Long range access control transponder
- Parking lot entry transponder
- Hands-free apartment door access
- Asset control and management
The device has three low-frequency input channels.
Each input channel can be individually enabled or disabled. The device can detect an input signal with amplitude as low as ~1 mVPP and can demodulate an
amplitude-modulated input signal with as low as 8%
modulation depth. The device can also transmit data by
clamping and unclamping the input LC antenna
voltage.
The device can output demodulated data, carrier clock
or RSSI current depending on the register setting. The
demodulated data and carrier clock outputs are available on the LFDATA pin, while the RSSI output is available on the RSSI pin. The RSSI current output is
linearly proportional to the input signal strength.
The device has programmable internal tuning capacitors for each input channel. The user can program
these capacitors up to 63 pF, 1 pF per step. These
internal tuning capacitors can be used effectively for
fine-tuning of the external LC resonant circuit.
The device is optimized for very low current consumption and has various battery-saving low-power modes
(Sleep, Standby, Active). The device can also be operated in Battery Back-up and Batteryless modes using a
few external components.
This device is available in 14-pin PDIP, SOIC, and
TSSOP packages. This device is also used as the AFE
in the PIC16F639.

3.1
Supply Voltage (VDD, VSS)
The VDD pin is the power supply pin for the analog and
digital circuitry within the MCP2030. This pin requires
an appropriate bypass capacitor of 0.1 µF. The voltage
on this pin should be maintained in the 2.0V-3.6V range
for specified operation.
The VSS pin is the ground pin and the current return
path for both analog and digital circuitry of the
MCP2030. If an analog ground plane is available, it is
recommended that this device be tied to the analog
ground plane of the PCB.
3.2
Chip Select (CS)
The CS pin needs to stay high when the device is
receiving input signals. Leaving the CS pin low will
place the device in the SPI Programming mode.
3.3
SPI Clock Input (SCLK/ALERT)
This pin becomes the SPI clock input (SCLK) when CS
is low, and becomes the ALERT output when CS is
high.
The ALERT pin is an open collector output. This pin has
an internal pull-up resistor to ensure that no spurious
SPI communication occurs between power-up and pin
configuration of the MCU.
3.4

When the CS pin is low, this pin becomes the SPI data
input and output (SDIO).

APPLICATION INFORMATION
4.1
The MCP2030 is a stand-alone 3-channel analog
front-end device for low frequency (LF) sensing and
bidirectional transponder applications. By connecting
three orthogonally placed LC resonant antennas to
the LC input pins, it can detect signals from all
directions (x, y and z).
Battery Back-up and Batteryless
Operation
The device supports both battery back-up and
batteryless operation by the addition of external
components, allowing the device to be partially or
completely powered from the field.
Figure 4-1 shows an example of the external circuit for
the battery back-up.
The device draws more current when all channels are
enabled as compared to a single channel; therefore, it
is recommended to disable any unused channels by
setting Configuration Register 0 (Register 5-1).
Note:
Voltage on LCCOM combined with coil
input voltage must not exceed the maximum LC input voltage.
The device’s high input sensitivity (as low as 1 mVPP)
and ability to detect weakly modulated (as low as 8%)
input signals with its low power feature set, makes the
device suitable for various applications such as a lowcost hands-free Passive Keyless Entry (PKE)
transponder, an LF Initiator sensor for Tire Pressure
Monitoring Systems (TPMS) and long-range access
control applications in the automotive and security
industries.

Application Examples
The output of the MCP2030 is fed into the external
MCU. The external MCU can send data by clamping on
and clamping off the MCP2030 coil voltages using an
SPI command, or via a UHF transmitter.
Figure 4-2 shows an example of an external circuit for
a bidirectional communication transponder application.
Each LC input pin is connected to an external LC
resonant circuit. To achieve the best performance, the
resonant frequency of the LC circuit needs to be
matched to the detecting carrier frequency of interest.
The resonant frequency is given by the following
equation:
The RSSI output of the MCP2030 can be digitized by
the MCU firmware. Users can also consider using a
MCU that has an internal analog-to-digital converter
(ADC) such as the PIC16F684 or a stand-alone ADC
device.
Figure 4-3 shows an example of a hands-free Passive
Keyless Entry (PKE) system. The base station unit
transmits an LF command. The MCP2030 detects the
base station command and feeds the detected output
to the external MCU (PIC16F636). If the command is
correct, the MCU responds via an external UHF
transmitter or by using the LF talk-back modulators of
the MCP2030 device.

f o = ------------------
2π LC
In typical 125 kHz applications, the L value is a few mH,
and the C value is a few hundred pF, for example,
L = 4.9 mH, and C = 331 pF.
The resonant frequency can be fine-tuned by programming the internal tuning capacitors.
Figure 4-4 shows an example when the device is used
for a tire pressure monitoring sensor application. The
device detects the LF Initiator commands and transmits
the tire pressure data to the base station via an external
UHF transmitter.

FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
AND THEORY OF DEVICE
OPERATION
The MCP2030 contains three analog input channels for
signal detection and LF talk-back. This section
provides the function description of the device.
Each analog input channel has internal tuning
capacitors, sensitivity control circuits, an input signal
strength limiter and an LF talk-back modulation
transistor. An Automatic Gain Control (AGC) loop is
used for all three input channel gains. The output of
each channel is OR’d and fed into a demodulator. The
digital output is passed to the LFDATA pin. Figure 5-1
shows the block diagram of the device and Figure 5-2
shows the input signal path.
There are a total of eight Configuration registers. Six of
them are used for device operation options, one for
column parity bits and one for status indication of
device operation. Each register has 9 bits including one
row parity bit. These registers are readable and
writable by SPI commands except for the STATUS
register, which is read-only.
The device’s features are dynamically controllable by
programming the Configuration registers.
5.1
The modulation FET is also shorted momentarily after
Soft Reset and Inactivity timer time-out.
5.3
The signal levels from all 3 channels are combined
such that the limiter attenuates all 3 channels
uniformly, in respect to the channel with the strongest
signal.
Modulation Circuit
The modulation circuit consists of a modulation
transistor (FET), internal tuning capacitors and external
LC antenna components. The modulation transistor
and the internal tuning capacitors are connected
between the LC input pin and LCCOM pin. Each LC
input has its own modulation transistor.
When the modulation transistor turns on, its low Turnon Resistance (RM) clamps the induced LC antenna
voltage. The coil voltage is minimized when the
modulation transistor turns-on and maximized when
the modulation transistor turns-off. The modulation
transistor’s low turn-on resistance (RM) results in a high
modulation depth.
Tuning Capacitor
Each channel has internal tuning capacitors for external
antenna tuning. The capacitor values are programmed
by the Configuration registers up to 63 pF, 1 pF per step.
Note:
5.4
The user can control the tuning capacitor by programming the Configuration
registers. See Register 5-2 through
Register 5-4 for details.
Variable Attenuator
The variable attenuator is used to attenuate, via AGC
control, the input signal voltage to avoid saturating the
amplifiers and demodulators.
Note:
RF Limiter
The RF Limiter limits LC pin input voltage by de-Q’ing
the external LC resonant antenna circuit. The limiter
begins de-Q’ing the external LC antenna when the
input voltage exceeds VDE_Q, progressively de-Q’ing
harder to reduce the antenna input voltage.
5.2
The modulation data comes from the external microcontroller section via the digital SPI as “Clamp On”,
“Clamp Off” commands. Only those inputs that are
enabled will execute the Clamp command. A basic
block diagram of the modulation circuit is shown in
Figure 5-1 and Figure 5-2.
5.5
The variable attenuator function is
accomplished by the device itself. The
user cannot control its function.
Sensitivity Control
The sensitivity of each channel can be reduced by the
channel’s Configuration register sensitivity setting.
This is used to desensitize the channel from optimum.
Note:
5.6
The user can desensitize the channel
sensitivity
by
programming
the
Configuration registers. See Register 5-5
and Register 5-6 for details.
AGC Control
The AGC controls the variable attenuator to limit the
internal signal voltage to avoid saturation of internal
amplifiers and demodulators (Refer to Section 5.4
“Variable Attenuator”).
The signal levels from all 3 channels are combined
such that the AGC attenuates all 3 channels uniformly
in respect to the channel with the strongest signal.
Note:
The AGC control function is accomplished
by the device itself. The user cannot
control its function.
The LF talk-back is achieved by turning on and off the
modulation transistor.

MCP2030
5.7
Fixed Gain Amplifiers 1 and 2
FGA1 and FGA2 provides a maximum two-stage gain
of 40 dB.
Note:
5.8
The user cannot control the gain of these
two amplifiers.
Auto-Channel Selection
The auto-channel selection feature is enabled if the
Auto-Channel Select bit AUTOCHSEL<8> in Configuration Register 5 (Register 5-6) is set, and disabled if
the bit is cleared. When this feature is active (i.e.,
AUTOCHSE <8> = 1), the control circuit checks the
demodulator output of each input channel immediately
after the AGC settling time (TSTAB). If the output is high,
it allows this channel to pass data, otherwise it is
blocked.
The status of this operation is monitored by STATUS
Register 7 bits <8:6> (Register 5-8). These bits indicate
the current status of the channel selection activity, and
automatically updates for every Soft Reset period. The
auto-channel selection function resets after each Soft
Reset (or after Inactivity timer time-out). Therefore, the
blocked channels are re-enabled after Soft Reset.
This feature can make the output signal cleaner by
blocking any channel that was not high at the end of
TAGC. This function works only for demodulated data
output, and is not applied for carrier clock or RSSI
output.
5.9
Carrier Clock Detector
The Carrier Clock Detector senses the input carrier
cycles. The output of the detector switches digitally at
the signal carrier frequency. Carrier clock output is
available when the output is selected by the DATOUT
bit in Configuration Register 1 (Register 5-2).
5.10
Demodulator
The Demodulator consists of a full-wave rectifier, low
pass filter, peak detector and Data Slicer that detects
the envelope of the input signal.
5.11
Data Slicer
The Data Slicer consists of a reference generator and
comparator. The Data Slicer compares the input with
the reference voltage. The reference voltage comes
from the minimum modulation depth requirement
setting and input peak voltage. The data from all 3
channels are OR’d together and sent to the output
enable filter.
5.12
Output Enable Filter
The Output Enable Filter enables the LFDATA output
once the incoming signal meets the wake-up sequence
requirements (see Section 5.15 “Configurable
Output Enable Filter”).
5.13
Received Signal Strength
Indicator (RSSI)
The RSSI provides a current which is proportional to
the input signal amplitude (see Section 5.30.3
“Received Signal Strength Indicator (RSSI)
Output”).
5.14
Analog Front-End Timers
The device has an internal 32 kHz RC oscillator. The
oscillator is used in several timers:
• Inactivity timer
• Alarm timer
• Pulse width timer
• Period timer
• AGC settling timer

RC OSCILLATOR
The RC oscillator generates a 32 kHz internal clock.

INACTIVITY TIMER
The timer is reset when the:
The Inactivity Timer is used to automatically return the
device to Standby mode, if there is no input signal. The
time-out period is approximately 16 ms (TINACT), based
on the 32 kHz internal clock.
• CS pin is low (any SPI command).
• Output enable filter is disabled.
• LFDATA pin is enabled (signal passed output
enable filter).
The purpose of the Inactivity Timer is to minimize
current draw by automatically returning to the lower
current Standby mode, if there is no input signal for
approximately 16 ms.
The timer starts after the AGC initialization time.
The timer is reset when:
• An amplitude change in LF input signal, either
high-to-low or low-to-high
• CS pin is low (any SPI command)
• Timer-related Soft Reset
The timer starts after AGC initialization time (TAGC).
The timer causes a Soft Reset when:
• A previously received input signal does not
change either high-to-low or low-to-high for
TINACT
The Soft Reset returns the device to Standby mode
where most of the analog circuits, such as the AGC,
demodulator and RC oscillator, are powered down. This
returns the device to the lower Standby Current mode.
5.14.3
ALARM TIMER
The Alarm Timer is used to notify the external MCU that
the device is receiving an input signal that does not pass
the output enable filter requirement. The time-out period
is approximately 32 ms (TALARM) in the presence of
continuing noise.
The Alarm Timer time-out occurs if there is an input
signal for longer than 32 ms that does not meet the
output enable filter requirements. The Alarm Timer
time-out causes:
a)
b)
The ALERT pin to go low.
The ALARM bit to set in the Status
STATUS Register 7 (Register 5-8).
The external MCU is informed of the Alarm timer timeout by monitoring the ALERT pin. If the Alarm timer
time-out occurs, the external MCU can take
appropriate actions such as lowering channel
sensitivity or disabling channels. If the noise source is
ignored, the device can return to a lower standby
current draw state.
© 2005 Microchip Technology Inc.
The timer causes a low output on the ALERT pin when:
• Output enable filter is enabled and modulated
input signal is present for TALARM, but does not
pass the output enable filter requirement.
Note:
5.14.4
The Alarm timer is disabled if the output
enable filter is disabled.
PULSE WIDTH TIMER
The Pulse Width Timer is used to verify that the
received output enable sequence meets both the
minimum TOEH and minimum TOEL requirements.
5.14.5
PERIOD TIMER
The Period Timer is used to verify that the received
output enable sequence meets the maximum TOET
requirement.
5.14.6
AGC INITIALIZATION TIMER (TAGC)
This timer is used to keep the output enable filter in
Reset while the AGC settles on the input signal. The
time-out period is approximately 3.5 ms. At the end of
this time (TAGC), the input should remain high (TPAGC),
otherwise the counting is aborted and a Soft Reset is
issued. See Figure 5-4 for details.
Note 1: The device needs continuous and
uninterrupted high input signal during
AGC initialization time (TAGC). Any
absence of signal during this time may
reset the timer and a new input signal is
needed for AGC settling time, or may
result in improper AGC gain settings
which will produce invalid output.
2: The rest of the device section wakes up
if any of these input channels receive
the AGC settling time correctly. STATUS
Register 7 bits <4:2> (Register 5-8) indicate which input channels have waken
up the device first. Valid input signal on
multiple input pins can cause more than
one channel's indicator bit to be set.

Configurable Output Enable Filter
The purpose of this filter is to enable the LFDATA output and wake the external microcontroller only after
receiving a specific sequence of pulses on the LC input
pins. Therefore, it prevents waking up the external
microcontroller due to noise or unwanted input signals.
The circuit compares the timing of the demodulated
header waveform with a pre-defined value, and
enables the demodulated LFDATA output when a
match occurs.
The output enable filter consists of a high (TOEH) and
low duration (TOEL) of a pulse immediately after the
AGC settling gap time. The selection of high and low
times further implies a max period time. The output
enable high and low times are determined by SPI
programming. Figure 5-3 and Figure 5-4 show the
output enable filter waveforms.
There should be no missing cycles during TOEH.
Missing cycles may result in failing the output enable
condition.

The device has typical input sensitivity of 3 mVPP. This
means any input signal with amplitude greater than 3
mVPP can be detected. The internal AGC loop regulates the detecting signal amplitude when the input
level is greater than approximately 20 mVPP. This
signal amplitude is called “AGC-active level”. The AGC
loop regulates the input voltage so that the input signal
amplitude range will be kept within the linear range of
the detection circuits without saturation. The AGC
Active Status bit (AGCACT<5>) in STATUS Register 7
(Register 5-8) is set if the AGC loop regulates the input
voltage.
Note 1:
Filter Disabled
The timing values of TOEH and TOEL are
minimum and TOET is maximum at room
temperature and VDD = 3.0V, 32 kHz
oscillator.
TOEH is measured from the rising edge of the
demodulator output to the first falling edge. The pulse
width must fall within TOEH ≤ t ≤ TOET.
TOEL is measured from the falling edge of the
demodulator output to the rising edge of the next pulse.
The pulse width must fall within TOEL ≤ t ≤ TOET.
TOET is measured from rising edge to the next rising
edge (i.e., the sum of TOEH and TOEL). The sum of TOEH
and TOEL must be t ≤ TOET. If the Configuration Register
0 (Register 5-1), OEH<8:7> is set to ‘00’, then the filter
is disabled. See Figure 2-30 for this case.
The filter will reset, requiring a complete new successive
high and low period to enable LFDATA, under the
following conditions.
Disabling the output enable filter disables the TOEH and
TOEL requirement and the device passes all detected
data. See Figure 2-30, Figure 2-31 and Figure 2-32 for
examples.
When viewed from an application perspective, from the
pin input, the actual output enable filter timing must
factor in the analog delays in the input path (such as
demodulator charge and discharge times).
Input Sensitivity Control
Table 5-2 shows the input sensitivity comparison when
the AGCSIG option is used. When AGCSIG option bit is
set, the demodulated output is available only when the
AGC loop is active (see Table 5-1). The channel input
sensitivity can be reduced by setting the appropriate
Configuration registers. Configuration Register 3
(Register 5-4), Configuration Register 4 (Register 5-5)
and Configuration Register 5 (Register 5-6) have the
option to reduce each channel gain from 0 dB to
approximately -30 dB.
• The received high is not greater than the
configured minimum TOEH value.
• During TOEH, a loss of signal for longer than 56 μs
causes a filter Reset.
• The received low is not greater than the
configured minimum TOEL value.
• The received sequence exceeds the maximum
TOET value:
- TOEH + TOEL > TOET
- or TOEH > TOET
- or TOEL > TOET
• A Soft Reset SPI command is received.

Input Channels (Enable/Disable)
Each channel can be individually enabled or disabled
by programming bits in Configuration Register 0<3:1>
(Register 5-1).
The purpose of having an option to disable a particular
channel is to minimize current draw by powering down
as much circuitry as possible, if the channel is not
needed for operation. The exact circuits disabled when
an input is disabled are amplifiers, detector, full-wave
rectifier, data slicer, and modulation FET. However, the
RF input limiter remains active to protect the silicon
from excessive antenna input voltages.
5.18

(Typical)
Description
AGC Amplifier
The circuit automatically amplifies input signal voltage
levels to an acceptable level for the data slicer. Fast
attack and slow release by nature, the AGC tracks the
carrier signal level and not the modulated data bits.
The AGC inherently tracks the strongest of the three
antenna input signals. The AGC requires an AGC
initialization time (TAGC).
5.19
AGC Preserve
The AGC preserve feature is used to preserve the AGC
value during the AGC initialization time (TAGC) and
apply the value to the data slicing circuit for the following data streams instead of using a new tracking value.
This feature is useful to demodulate the input signal
correctly when the input has random amplitude variations at a given time period. This feature is enabled
when the device receives an AGC Preserve On command and disabled if it receives an AGC Preserve Off
command. Once the AGC Preserve On command is
received, the device acquires a new AGC value during
each AGC initialization time and preserves the value
until a Soft Reset or an AGC Preserve Off command is
issued. Therefore, it does not need to issue another
AGC Preserve On command. An AGC Preserve Off
command is needed to disable the AGC preserve
feature (see Section 5.31.2.5 “AGC Preserve On
Command” and Section 5.31.2.6 “AGC Preserve Off
Command” for AGC Preserve commands).
The AGC will attempt to regulate a channel’s peak
signal voltage into the data slicer to a desired regulated
AGC voltage – reducing the input path’s gain as the
signal level attempts to increase above regulated AGC
voltage, and allowing full amplification on signal levels
below the regulated AGC voltage.
The AGC has two modes of operation:
1.
2.
During the AGC initialization time (TAGC), the
AGC time constant is fast, allowing a reasonably
short acquisition time of the continuous input
signal.
After TAGC, the AGC switches to a slower time
constant for data slicing.
Also, the AGC is frozen when the input signal envelope
is low. The AGC tracks only high envelope levels.

Minimum Modulation Depth
Requirement for Input Signal
The Soft Reset is issued in the following events:
a)
b)
c)
d)
After Power-on Reset (POR),
After Inactivity timer time-out,
If an “Abort” occurs,
After receiving SPI Soft Reset command.
The “Abort” occurs if there is no positive signal
detected at the end of the AGC initialization period
(TAGC). The Soft Reset initializes internal circuits and
brings the device into a low current Standby mode
operation. The internal circuits that are initialized by the
Soft Reset include:
•
•
•
•
Output Enable Filter
AGC circuits
Demodulator
32 kHz Internal Oscillator
The Soft Reset has no effect on the Configuration register
setup, except for some of the AFE STATUS Register 7
bits. (Register 5-8).
The circuit initialization takes one internal clock cycle
(1/32 kHz = 31.25 μs). During the initialization, the
modulation transistors between each input and
LCCOM pins are turned-on to discharge any internal/
external parasitic charges. The modulation transistors
are turned-off immediately after the initialization time.
The Soft Reset is executed in Active mode only. It is not
valid in Standby mode.
DS21981A-page 40
The device demodulates the modulated input signal if
the modulation depth of the input signal is greater than
the minimum requirement that is programmed in
Configuration Register 5 (Register 5-6). Figure 5-5
shows the definition of the modulation depth and
examples. MODMIN<6:5> of the Configuration Register
5 offer four options. They are 60%, 33%, 14% and 6%.
The default setting is 33%.
The purpose of this feature is to enhance the
demodulation integrity of the input signal. The 6%
setting is the best choice for the input signal with weak
modulation depth, which is typically observed near the
high-voltage base station antenna and also at fardistance from the base station antenna. It gives the
best demodulation sensitivity, but is very susceptible to
noise spikes that can result in a bit detection error. The
60% setting can reduce the bit errors caused by noise,
but gives the least demodulation sensitivity. See
Table 5-3 for minimum modulation depth requirement
settings.

Low-Current Sleep Mode
5.25
The device can stay at an ultra low-current mode
(Sleep mode) when it receives a Sleep command via
the Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI). All circuits including the RF Limiter, except the minimum circuitry
required to retain register memory and SPI capability,
will be powered down to minimize the current draw.
Power-on Reset or any SPI command, other than the
Sleep command, is required to wake the device from
Sleep.
5.23
The Configuration registers are volatile memory.
Therefore, the contents of the registers can be corrupted or cleared by any electrical incidence such as
battery disconnect. To ensure data integrity, the device
has an error detection mechanism using row and column parity bits of the Configuration register memory
map. The bit 0 of each register is a row parity bit which
is calculated over the eight Configuration bits (from bit
1 to bit 8). The Column Parity Register (Configuration
Register 6) holds column parity bits; each bit is calculated over the respective columns (Configuration registers 0 to 5) of the Configuration bits. The STATUS
register is not included for the column parity bit calculation. Parity is to be odd. The parity bit set or cleared
makes an odd number of set bits. The user needs to
calculate the row and column parity bits using the
contents of the registers and program them. During
operation, the device continuously calculates the row
and column parity bits of the configuration memory
map. If a parity error occurs, the device lowers the
SCLK/ALERT pin (interrupting the microcontroller
section) indicating the configuration memory has been
corrupted or unloaded and needs to be reprogrammed.
Low-Current Standby Mode
The device is in Standby mode when no input signal is
present on the input pins, but is powered and ready to
receive any incoming signals.
5.24
Error Detection of Configuration
Register Data
Low-Current Active Mode
The device is in Low-Current Active mode when an
input signal is present on any input pin and internal
circuitry is switching with the received data.
At an initial condition after a Power-on Reset, the
values of the registers are all clear (default condition).
Therefore, the device will issue the parity bit error by
lowering the SCLK/ALERT pin. If the user reprograms
the registers with the correct parity bits, the SCLK/
ALERT pin will be toggled to logic high level
immediately.
The parity bit errors do not change or affect any
functional operation.
Table 5-4 shows an example of the register values and
corresponding parity bits.

Factory Calibration
5.28
The device is calibrated during probe test to reduce the
device-to-device variation in standby current, internal
timing and sensitivity, as well as channel-to-channel
sensitivity variation.
5.27
Demodulator
The demodulator recovers the modulation data from
the received signal, containing carrier plus data, by
appropriate envelope detection. The demodulator has
a fast rise (charge) time (TDR) and a fall time (TDF)
appropriate to an envelope of input signal (see
Section 1.0 “Electrical Specifications” for TDR and
TDF specifications). The demodulator contains the
full-wave rectifier, low-pass filter, peak detector and
data slicer.
De-Q’ing of Antenna Circuit
When the transponder is close to the base station, the
transponder coil may develop coil voltage higher than
VDE_Q. This condition is called “near field”. The device
detects the strong near field signal through the AGC
control, and de-Q’ing the antenna circuit to reduce the
input signal amplitude.

Power-On Reset
This circuit remains in a Reset state until a sufficient
supply voltage is applied. The Reset releases when the
supply is sufficient for correct device operation,
nominally VPOR.
The Configuration registers are all cleared on a Poweron Reset. As the Configuration registers are protected
by odd row and column parity, the ALERT pin will be
pulled down – indicating to the external microcontroller
section that the configuration memory is cleared and
requires new programming.
5.30
LFDATA Output Selection
The LFDATA output can be configured to pass the
Demodulator output, Received Signal Strength Indicator (RSSI) output, or Carrier Clock (CCLK). See
Configuration Register 1 (Register 5-2) for more
details.
5.30.1

DEMODULATOR OUTPUT
The demodulator output is the default configuration of
the output selection. This is the output of an envelope
detection circuit. See Figure 5-6 for the demodulator
output.
© 2005 Microchip Technology Inc.
For a clean data output or to save operating power, the
input channels can be individually enabled or disabled.
If more than one channel is enabled, the output is the
sum of each output of all enabled channels. There will
be no valid output if all three channels are disabled.
When the demodulated output is selected, the output is
available in two different conditions depending on how
the options of Configuration Register 0 (Register 5-1)
are set: Output Enable Filter is disabled or enabled.
See Section 2.0 “Typical Performance Curves” for
various demodulated data output.

CARRIER CLOCK OUTPUT
When the carrier clock output is selected, the LFDATA
output is a square pulse of the input carrier clock and
available as soon as the AGC stabilization time (TAGC)
is completed. There are two Configuration register
options for the carrier clock output: (a) clock divide-by
one or (b) clock divide-by four, depending on bit
DATOUT<7> of Configuration Register 2 (Register 53). The carrier clock output is available immediately
after the AGC settling time. The Output Enable Filter,
AGCSIG, and MODMIN options are applicable for the
carrier clock output in the same way as the demodulated output. The input channel can be individually
enabled or disabled for the output. If more than one
channel is enabled, the output is the sum of each output of all enabled channels. Therefore, the carrier clock
output waveform is not as precise as when only one
channel is enabled. It is recommended to enable one
channel only if a precise output waveform is desired.
When the device receives an SPI command during the
RSSI output, the RSSI mode is temporary disabled
until the SPI communication is completed. It returns to
the RSSI mode again after the SPI communication is
completed. The RSSI mode is held until another
output type is selected (CS low turns off the RSSI
signal). To obtain the RSSI output for a particular input
channel, or to save operating power, the input channel
can be individually enabled or disabled. If more than
one channel is enabled, the RSSI output is from the
strongest signal channel. There will be no valid output
if all three channels are disabled.
Related Configuration register bits:
The RSSI output current is linearly proportional to the
input signal strength. There are variations between
channel to channel and device to device. See
Figure 2-13 for examples. The linearity (ILRRSSI) of
the RSSI output current is tested by sampling the
outputs for three input points: 37 mVPP, 100 mVPP,
and 370 mVPP. The RSSI output current for 100 mVPP

RECEIVED SIGNAL STRENGTH
INDICATOR (RSSI) OUTPUT
An analog current output is available at the RSSI pin
when the Received Signal Strength Indicator (RSSI)
output is selected by the Configuration register. The
analog current is linearly proportional to the input signal
strength.
All timers in the circuit, such as inactivity timer, alarm
timer, and AGC initialization time, are disabled during
the RSSI mode. Therefore, the RSSI output is not
affected by the AGC stabilization time, and available
immediately when the RSSI option is selected. The
device enters Active mode immediately when the RSSI
output is selected.

The RSSI output is an analog current. It needs an
external Analog-to-Digital (ADC) data conversion
device for digitized output. The ADC data conversion
can be accomplished by using a stand-alone external
ADC device, an external MCU that has internal ADC
features, or an external MCU that has no ADC features
but instead uses firmware. The RSSIFET is used to
discharge any external charge on the LFDATA pin in
the RSSI Output mode. The MOSFET can be turned on
or off with bit RSSIFET<8> of Configuration Register 2
(Register 5-3). When it is turned on, the internal
MOSFET provides a discharge path for the external
capacitor that is connected at the LFDATA pin. This
MOSFET option is valid only if RSSI output is selected
and not controllable by users for demodulated or carrier
clock output options.
See separate application notes for various external ADC
implementation methods for this device.

Configuration Registers
SPI COMMUNICATION
The SPI communication is used to read from or write to
the Configuration registers and to send command-only
messages. Three pins are used for SPI
communication: CS, SCLK/ALERT, and LFDATA/RSSI/
CCLK/SDIO. Figure 5-9, Figure 5-10 and Figure 5-11
show examples of the SPI communication sequences.
When these pins are connected to the external MCU
I/O pins, the following are needed:
CS
• Pin is permanently an input with an internal pull-up.
SCLK/ALERT
• Pin is an open collector output when CS is high.
An internal pull-up resistor exists to ensure no
spurious SPI communication between powering
and the MCU configuring its pins. This pin
becomes the SPI clock input when CS is low.
LFDATA/CCLK/SDIO
• Pin is a digital output (LFDATA) so long as CS is
high. During SPI communication, the pin is the
SPI data input (SDI) unless performing a register
Read, where it will be the SPI data output (SDO).

COMMAND DECODER/
CONTROLLER
The circuit executes 8 SPI commands from the external
MCU. The command structure is:
Command (3 bits) + Configuration Address (4 bits) +
Data Byte and Row Parity Bit with the Most Significant
bit first. Table 5-5 shows the available SPI commands.
TABLE 5-5:
The device operates in SPI mode 0,0. In mode 0,0 the
clock idles in the low state (Figure 5-12). SDI data is
loaded into the device on the rising edge of SCLK and
SDO data is clocked out on the falling edge of SCLK.
There must be multiples of 16 clocks (SCLK) while CS
is low or commands will abort.

This command places the device in Sleep mode –
minimizing current draw by disabling all but the
essential circuitry. Any other command wakes the
device from Sleep (e.g., Clamp Off command).
5.31.2.4
Soft Reset Command
The device issues a Soft Reset when it receives an
external Soft Reset command. The external Soft Reset
command is typically used to end a SPI communication
sequence or to initialize the device for the next signal
detection sequence, etc. See Section 5.20 “Soft
Reset” for more details on Soft Reset.
If a Soft Reset command is sent during a “Clamp-on”
condition, the device still keeps the “Clamp-on” condition after the Soft Reset execution. The Soft Reset is
executed in Active mode only, not in Standby mode.
The SPI Soft Reset command is ignored if the device is
not in Active mode.

AGC Preserve On Command
This command results in preserving the AGC level
during each AGC initialization time and apply the value
to the data slicing circuit for the following data stream.
The preserved AGC value is reset by a Soft Reset, and
a new AGC value is acquired and preserved when it
starts a new AGC initialization time. This feature is
disabled by an AGC Preserve Off command (see
Section 5.19 “AGC Preserve”).
5.31.2.6
AGC Preserve Off Command
This command disables the AGC preserve feature and
returns to the normal AGC tracking mode, fast tracking
during AGC settling time and slow tracking after that
(see Section 5.19 “AGC Preserve”).
5.31.3
READ/WRITE COMMANDS FOR
CONFIGURATION REGISTERS
The device includes 8 Configuration registers, including a Column Parity register and STATUS register. All
registers are readable and writable via SPI, except the
STATUS register, which is read-only. Bit 0 of each
register is a row parity bit (except for STATUS Register
7) that makes the register contents an odd number.

Note the following details of the code protection feature on Microchip devices:
•
Microchip products meet the specification contained in their particular Microchip Data Sheet.
•
Microchip believes that its family of products is one of the most secure families of its kind on the market today, when used in the
intended manner and under normal conditions.
•
There are dishonest and possibly illegal methods used to breach the code protection feature. All of these methods, to our
knowledge, require using the Microchip products in a manner outside the operating specifications contained in Microchip’s Data
Sheets. Most likely, the person doing so is engaged in theft of intellectual property.
•
Microchip is willing to work with the customer who is concerned about the integrity of their code.
•
Neither Microchip nor any other semiconductor manufacturer can guarantee the security of their code. Code protection does not
mean that we are guaranteeing the product as “unbreakable.”
