27 to 930MHz FSK/FM/ASK Transceiver 1
1.1
Theory of Operation
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 either by pulling the crystal or by modulating the VCO directly. ASK modulation is done 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 default LO injection type is low-side injection. The TH71221 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 FSK demodulator with external ceramic discriminator or LC tank Operational amplifier (OA1), connected to demodulator output Operational amplifier (OA2), for general use Peak detector (PKDET) for ASK detection " " " " " " " " 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 controlled oscillator (VCO) with internal varactor Power amplifier (PA) with adjustable output power

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.

3.1
Functional Description
PLL Frequency Synthesizer
The TH71221 contains an integer-N PLL frequency synthesizer. A PLL circuit performs the frequency synthesis via a feedback mechanism. The output frequency fVCO is generated as an integer multiple of the phase detector comparison frequency fR .This reference frequency fR is generated by dividing the output frequency fRO of a crystal oscillator. The phase detector utilizes this signal as a reference to tune the VCO and in the locked state it must be equal to the desired output frequency, divided by the feedback divider ratio N.

Fig. 2:
Integer-N PLL Frequency Synthesizer Topology
The output frequency of the synthesizer fVCO can be selected by programming the feedback divider and the reference divider. The only constraint for the frequency output of the system is that the minimum frequency resolution, or the channel spacing, must be equal to the PFD frequency fR, which is given by the reference frequency fRO and the reference divider factor R:
fR =
f RO . R
(1)
When the PLL is unlocked (e.g. during power up or during reprogramming of a new feedback divider ratio N), the phase-frequency detector PFD and the charge pump create an error signal proportional to the phase difference of the two input signals. This error signal is low-pass filtered through the external loop filter and input to the VCO to control its frequency. A very low frequency resolution increases the settling time of the PLL and reduces the ability to cancel out VCO perturbations, because the loop filter is updated every 1/fR. After the PLL has locked, the VCO frequency is given by the following equation:
f VCO = N
f RO = N fR . R
(2)
There are four registers available to set the VCO frequencies in receive (registers RR and NR) and in transmit mode (registers RT and NT). These registers can be programmed using the Serial Control Interface in Programmable User Mode (PUM). In case of Stand-alone User Mode (SUM), the registers are set fixed values (refer to para. 4.1.1). The VCO frequency is equal to the carrier frequency in transmit mode. While in receive mode the VCO frequency is offset by the intermediate frequency IF. This is because of the super-heterodyne nature of the receive part.

3.1.1 Reference Oscillator (XOSC)
The reference oscillator is based on a Colpitts topology with two integrated functional capacitors as shown in figure 3. The circuitry is optimized for a load capacitance range of 10 pF to 15 pF. The equivalent input capacitance CRO offered by the oscillator input pin RO is about 18pF. To ensure a fast and reliable start-up and a very stable frequency VCC over the specified supply voltage and temperature range, the IRO oscillator bias circuitry provides an amplitude regulation. The amplitude on pin RO is monitored in order to regulate the current of 36pF 36pF the oscillator core IRO. There are two limits ROMAX and ROMIN RO between the regulation is maintained. These values can be changed via serial control interface in Programmable User Mode XTAL (PUM). In Stand-alone User Mode (SUM), ROMAX and ROMIN are set to default values (refer to para. 5.1.3). ROMAX defines the CX2 VEE start-up current of the oscillator. The ROMIN value sets the desired steady-state current. If ROMIN is sufficient to achieve an FSKSW amplitude of about 400 mV on pin RO, the current IRO will be set CX1 to ROMIN. Otherwise the current will be permanently regulated between ROMIN and ROMAX. If ROMIN and ROMAX are equal, no regulation takes place. For most of the applications ROMIN and ROMAX should not be changed from default. Fig. 3: Reference oscillator circuit
3.1.2
Reference Divider
The reference divider provides the input signal of the phase detector by dividing the signal of the reference oscillator. The range of the reference divider is
4 R 1023 .
3.1.3 Feedback Divider
(3)
The feedback divider of the PLL is based on a pulse-swallow topology. It contains a 4-bit swallow A-counter, a 13-bit program B-counter and a prescaler. The divider ratio of the prescaler is controlled by the program counter and the swallow counter. During one cycle, the prescaler divides by 17 until the swallow A-counter reaches its terminal count. Afterwards the prescaler divides by 16 until the program counter reaches its terminal count. Therefore the overall feedback divider ratio can be expressed as:
N = 17 A + 16 (B - A) .
(4)
The A-counter configuration represents the lower bits in the feedback divider register (N0-3 = A0-3) and the upper bits the B-counter configuration (N4-16 = B0-12) respectively. According to that, the following counter ranges are implemented:
0 A 15 ;
4 B 8191
(5)
and therefore the range of the overall feedback divider ratio results in:
64 N 131071 .
(6)
The user does not need to care about the A- and B-counter settings. It is only necessary to know the overall feedback divider ratio N to program the register settings.
3.1.4
Frequency Resolution and Operating Frequency
It is obvious from (2) that, at a given frequency resolution fR, the maximum operating frequency of the VCO is limited by the maximum N-counter setting. The table below provides some illustrative numbers. Please also refer to section 4.4.1 for the pre-configured settings in Stand-alone User Mode (SUM).

3.1.5
Phase-Frequency Detector
The phase-frequency detector creates an error voltage proportional to the phase difference between the reference signal fR and fN. The implementation of the phase detector is a phase-frequency type. That circuitry is very useful because it decreases the acquisition time significantly. The gain of the phase detector can be expressed as:
K PD =
I CP , 2
(7)
where ICP is the charge pump current which is set via register CPCUR. In the TH7122 design the VCO frequency control characteristic is with negative polarity. This means the VCO frequency increases if the loop filter output voltage decreases and vice versa. When an external varactor diode is added to the VCO tank, the tuning characteristic can be changed between positive and negative depending on the particular varactor diode circuitry. Therefore the PDFPOL register can be used to define the phase detector polarity.
3.1.6
Lock Detector
In Programmable User Mode a lock-detect signal LD is available at pin FS1/LD (pin 19). The lock detection circuitry uses Up and Down signals from the phase detector to check them for phase coherency. Figure 4 shows an overview of the lock signal generation. The locked state and the unlock condition will be decided on the register settings of LDTM and ERTM respectively. In the start-up phase of the PLL, Up and Down signals are quite unbalanced and counter CNT_LD receives no clock signal. When the loop approaches steady state, the signals Up and Down begin to overlap and CNT_LD counts down. Herein register LDTM sets the number of counts which are necessary to set the lock detection signal LD. If an unlock condition occurs, the counter CNT_LD will be reloaded and therefore its CARRY falls back.

27 to 930MHz FSK/FM/ASK Transceiver
The CNT_ER supervises the unlock condition. If Up and Down are consecutive, the counter CNT_ER will be reloaded permanently and its CARRY will not be set, otherwise the counter level of CNT_ER will be reduced by the reference oscillator clock (1/fRO). The register ERTM decides on the maximum number of clocks during Up and Down signals can be non-consecutive without loosing the locked state. The transceiver offers two ways of analyzing the locked state. If the register LOCKMODE is set to `0', only one occurrence of the locked state condition is needed to remain LD = 1 during the whole active mode, otherwise the state of the PLL will be observed permanently.
3.1.7
Voltage Controlled Oscillator with external Loop Filter
VCC
The transceiver provides a LC-based voltage-controlled oscillator with an external inductance element connected between VCC and pin TNK_LO. An internal varactor diode in series with a fixed capacitor forms the variable part of the oscillator tank. The oscillation frequency is adjusted by the DC-voltage at pin LF. The tuning sensitivity of the VCO is approximately 20MHz/V for 433MHz operations and 40MHz/V at 868MHz. Since the internal varactor is connected to VCC, a lower voltage on pin LF causes the capacitance to decrease and the VCO frequency to increase. For this reason the phase detector polarity should be negative (PFDPOL = 0). If the operation frequency is below 300MHz, an external varactor diode between pin TNK_LO and VCC_PLL is necessary. The corresponding application schematic is shown in section 8. The VCO current VCOCUR can be adjusted via serial control interface in order to ensure stable oscillations over the whole frequency range. For lowest LO emission in receive mode, VCOCUR should be set to the lowest value. Fig. 5: VCO schematic

Loop Filter
RF CF1
Since the loop filter has a strong impact on the function of the PLL, it must be chosen carefully. For FSK operation the bandwidth of the loop filter must be selected wide enough for a fast relock of the PLL during crystal pulling. The bandwidth must of course also be larger than the data rate. In case of ASK or OOK the bandwidth should be extended even further to allow the PLL to cancel out VCO perturbations that might be caused by the PA on/off keying. The suggested filter topology is shown in Fig. 6. The dimensions of the loop filter elements can be derived using well known formulas in application notes and other reference literature.

3.2
Receiver Part
The RF front-end of the receiver part is a super-heterodyne configuration that converts the input radiofrequency (RF) signal into an intermediate frequency (IF) signal. The most commonly used IF is 10.7 MHz, but IFs in the range of 0.4 to 22 MHz can also be used. According to the block diagram, the front-end consists of a LNA, a Mixer and an IF limiting amplifier with received signal strength indicator (RSSI). The local oscillator (LO) signal for the mixer is generated by the PLL frequency synthesizer. As the receiver constitutes a superhet architecture, there is no inherent suppression of the image frequency. It depends on the particular application and the system's environmental conditions whether an RF front-end filter should be added or not. If image rejection and/or good blocking immunity are relevant system parameters, a band-pass filter must be placed either in front or after the LNA. This filter can be a SAW (surface acoustic wave) or LC-based filter (e.g. helix type).

27 to 930MHz FSK/FM/ASK Transceiver
3.2.1 LNA
The LNA is based on a cascode topology for low-noise, high gain and good reverse isolation. The open collector output has to be connected to an external resonance circuit which is tuned to the receive frequency. The gain of the LNA can be changed in order to achieve a high dynamic range. There are two possibilities for the gain setting which can be selected by the register bit LNACTRL. External control can be done via the pin GAIN_LNA, internal control is given by the register bit LNAGAIN. In case of external gain control, a hysteresis of about 340 mV can be chosen via the register bit LNAHYST. This configuration is useful if an automatic gain control loop via the RSSI signal is established. In transmit mode the LNA-input is shorted to protect the amplifier from saturation and damaging.
3.2.2
Mixer
The mixer is a double-balanced mixer which down converts the receive frequency to the IF. The default LO injection type is low side (fVCO = fRX - fIF). But also high side injection is possible (fVCO = fRX + fIF). In this case, the data signals polarity is inverted due to the mixing process. To avoid this, the transmitted data stream can be inverted too by setting DTAPOL to `1'. The output impedance of the mixer is about 330 in order to match to an external IF filter.
3.2.3
IF Amplifier
After passing the channel select filter which sets the IF bandwidth the signal is limited by means of an high gain limiting amplifier. The small signal gain is about 80 dB. The RSSI signal is generated within the IF amplifier. The output of the RSSI signal is available at pin RSSI. The voltage at this pin is proportional to the input power of the receiver in dBm. Using this RSSI output signal the signal strength of different transmitters can be distinguished.
3.2.4
ASK Demodulator
* * standard ASK demodulation or ASK demodulation with peak detector.
The receive part of the TH7122 allows for two ASK demodulation configurations:
The default setting is standard ASK demodulation. In this mode SW1 and SW2 are closed and the RSSI output signal directly feeds the data slicer setup by means of OA1. The data slicer time constant equals to
T = 200k C3 ,
(8)
with C3 external to pin INT1. This time constant should be larger than the longest possible bit duration of the data stream. This is required to properly extract the ASK data's DC level. The purpose of the DC (or mean) level at the negative input of OA1 is to set an adaptive comparator threshold to perform the ASK detection. Alternatively a peak detector can be used to define the ASK detection threshold. In this configuration the peak detector PKDET is enabled, SW1 is closed and SW2 is open, and the peak detector output is multiplexed to pin INT2/PDO. This way the peak detector can feed the data slicer, again constituted by OA1 and a few external R and C components. The peak detection mode is selectable in programmable user mode.

27 to 930MHz FSK/FM/ASK Transceiver
3.2.5 FSK Demodulator
The implemented FSK demodulator is based on the phase-coincidence principle. A discriminator tank, which can either consist of a ceramic discriminator or an LC tank, is connected to pin IN_DEM. If FSK mode is selected SW1 is open, SW2 is closed and the output of OA2 is multiplexed to pin INT2/PDO. The demodulator output signal directly feeds the data slicer setup by means of OA1. The data slicer time constant can be calculated using (8). This time constant should be larger than the longest possible bit duration of the data stream as described in the previous paragraph. An on-chip AFC circuit tolerates input frequency variations. The input frequency acceptance range is proportional to the FSK or FM deviation. It can be adjusted by the discriminator tank. The AFC feature is disabled by default and can be activated in programmable mode.
3.3
Transmitter Part
The output of the PLL frequency synthesizer feeds a power amplifier (PA) in order to setup a complete RF transmitter. The VCO frequency is identical to the carrier frequency.
3.3.1
Power Amplifier
The power amplifier (PA) has been designed to deliver about 10 dBm in the specified frequency bands. Its pin OUT_PA is an open collector output. The larger the output voltage swing can be made the better the power efficiency will be. The PA must be matched to deliver the best efficiency in terms of output power and current consumption. The collector must be biased to the positive supply. This is done by means of an inductor parallel tuned with a capacitor. Or it is made large enough in order not to affect the outVCC VCC put matching network. S-parameters of pin OUT_PA are not useful because the output is very high resistive with a small 3pF L RL portion of parallel capacitance. Since the open-collector output transistor can be considered as a current source, the only parameters needed to design the output matching netOUT_PA work are the output capacitance, the supply voltage VCC, the transistor's saturation voltage and the power delivered to the VEE load PO. In order to avoid saturation of the output stage, a saturation voltage VCESAT of about 0.7 V should be considered. The Fig. 7: OUT_PA schematic real part of the load impedance can then be calculated using
RL =
(VCC - VCE SAT ) 2 . 2 PO
(9)
The output capacitance is typically 3 pF.

Modulation Schemes
The RF carrier generated by the PLL frequency synthesizer can be ASK or FSK modulated. Depending on the selected user mode, the modulation type can be selected either by the ASK/FSK pin or via the serial control interface. Data is applied to pin IN_DTA. The data signal can be inverted by the bit DTAPOL. The following tables for ASK and FSK modulation are valid for non-inverted data (DTAPOL = 0)

FSK modulation can be achieved by pulling the crystal oscillator frequency. A CMOS-compatible data stream applied at pin IN_DTA digitally modulates the XOSC via an integrated NMOS switch. Two external pulling capacitors CX1 and CX2 allow the FSK deviation f and center frequency fc to be adjusted independently. At IN_DTA = LOW CX2 is connected in parallel to CX1 leading to the low-frequency component of the FSK spectrum (fmin); while at IN_DTA = HIGH CX2 is deactivated and the XOSC is set to its high frequency, leading to fmax.

Alternatively FSK or FM can be achieved by injecting the modulating signal into the loop filter to directly control the VCO frequency. Fig. 10 shows a circuit proposal for direct VCO modulation. This circuit is recommended for data rates in excess of about 20 kbps NRZ. An external VCO tuning varactor should be added for narrow-band applications, for example at channel spacings of 25 kHz. For details please refer to the application notes "TH7122 and TH71221 High Speed Data Communication" and "TH7122 and TH71221 Used In Narrow Band FSK Applications" as well as to the "TH7122 and TH71221 Cookbook" Fig. 10: Circuit schematic for direct VCO modulation

Crystal Tuning

A crystal is tuned by the manufacturer to the requested oscillation frequency f0 for a certain load capacitance CL within the specified calibration tolerance. The only way to tune this oscillation frequency is to vary the effective load capacitance CLeff seen by the crystal. Figure 8 shows the oscillation frequency of a crystal in dependency on the effective load capacitance. This capacitance changes in accordance with the logic level of IN_DTA around the specified load capacitance. The figure illustrates the relationship between the external pulling capacitors and the frequency deviation. Fig. 11: Crystal Tuning Characteristic

Description of User Modes
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.

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).
4.2.1
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. 12 and 13.

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.

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 TH71221.
