General Description
The Atmel® ATA5428 is a highly integrated UHF ASK/FSK multi-channel half-duplex transceiver with low power
consumption supplied in a small 7 x 7mm QFN48 package. The receive part is built as a fully integrated low-IF receiver,
whereas direct PLL modulation with the fractional-N synthesizer is used for FSK transmission and switching of the power
amplifier for ASK transmission.
The device supports data rates of 1Kbit/s to 20Kbit/s (FSK) and 1Kbit/s to 10Kbit/s (ASK) in Manchester, Bi-phase and other
codes in transparent mode. The ATA5428 can be used in the 431.5MHz to 436.5MHz and in the 862MHz to 872MHz bands.
The very high system integration level results in a small number of external components needed.
Due to its blocking and selectivity performance, together with the additional 15dB to 20dB loss and the narrow bandwidth of
a typical loop antenna in a remote control unit, a bulky blocking SAW is not needed in the remote control unit. Additionally,
the building blocks needed for a typical remote control and access control system on both sides (the base and the mobile
stations) are fully integrated.
Its digital control logic with self-polling and protocol generation enables a fast challenge-response system without using a
high-performance microcontroller. Therefore, the ATA5428 contains a FIFO buffer RAM and can compose and receive the
physical messages themselves. This provides more time for the microcontroller to carry out other functions such as
calculating crypto algorithms, composing the logical messages, and controlling other devices. Therefore, a standard 4-/8-bit
microcontroller without special periphery and clocked with the CLK output of about 4.5MHz is sufficient to control the
communication link. This is especially valid for passive entry and access control systems, where within less than 100ms
several challenge-response communications with arbitration of the communication partner have to be handled.
It is hence possible to design bi-directional remote control and access control systems with a fast challenge-response crypto
function, with the same PCB board size and with the same current consumption as uni-directional remote control systems.

Application Circuits
2.1
Typical Remote Control Unit Application with 1 Li Battery (3V)
Figure 2-1 shows a typical 433.92MHz Remote Control Unit application with one battery. The external components are
11 capacitors, 1 resistor, 2 inductors and a crystal. C1 to C4 are 68nF voltage supply blocking capacitors. C5 is a 10nF supply
blocking capacitor. C6 is a 15nF fixed capacitor used for the internal quasi-peak detector and for the high-pass frequency of
the data filter. C7 to C11 are RF matching capacitors in the range of 1pF to 33pF. L1 is a matching inductor of about 5.6nH to
56nH. L2 is a feed inductor of about 120nH. A load capacitor of 9pF for the crystal is integrated. R1 is typically 22kΩand sets
the output power to about 5.5dBm. The loop antenna’s quality factor is somewhat reduced by this application due to the
quality factor of L2 and the RX/TX switch. On the other hand, this lower quality factor is necessary to have a robust design
with a bandwidth that is broad enough for production tolerances. Due to the single-ended and ground-referenced design, the
loop antenna can be a free-form wire around the application as it is usually employed in remote control uni-directional
systems. The ATA5428 provides sufficient isolation and robust pulling behavior of internal circuits from the supply voltage as
well as an integrated VCO inductor to allow this. Since the efficiency of a loop antenna is proportional to the square of the
surrounded area it is beneficial to have a large loop around the application board with a lower quality factor in order to relax
the tolerance specification of the RF components and to get a high antenna efficiency in spite of their lower quality factor.

Typical Base-station Application (5V)
Figure 2.2 shows a typical 433.92MHz VCC = 4.75V to 5.25V Base-station Application (5V). The external components are
12 capacitors, 1 resistor, 4 inductors, a SAW filter, and a crystal. C1 and C3 to C4 are 68nF voltage supply blocking
capacitors. C2 and C12 are 2.2µF supply blocking capacitors for the internal voltage regulators. C5 is a 10nF supply blocking
capacitor. C6 is a 15 nF fixed capacitor used for the internal quasi-peak detector and for the high-pass frequency of the data
filter. C7 to C11 are RF matching capacitors in the range of 1pF to 33pF. L2 to L4 are matching inductors of about 5.6nH to
56nH. A load capacitor for the crystal of 9pF is integrated. R1 is typically 22kΩ and sets the output power at RF_OUT to
about 10dBm. Since a quarter wave or PCB antenna, which has high efficiency and wide band operation, is typically used
here, it is recommended to use a SAW filter to achieve high sensitivity in case of powerful out-of-band blockers. L1, C9 and
C10 together form a low-pass filter, which is needed to filter out the harmonics in the transmitted signal to meet regulations.
An internally regulated voltage at pin VSOUT can be used in case the microcontroller only supports 3.3V operation, a
blocking capacitor with a value of C12 = 2.2µF has to be connected to VSOUT in any case.

RF Transceiver
As seen in Figure 1-3 on page 6, the RF transceiver consists of an LNA (Low-noise Amplifier), PA (Power Amplifier), RX/TX
switch, fractional-N frequency synthesizer and the signal processing part with mixer, IF filter, IF amplifier with analog RSSI,
FSK/ASK demodulator, data filter, and data slicer.
In receive mode the LNA pre-amplifies the received signal which is converted down to 226kHz (ATA5428), filtered and
amplified before it is fed into an FSK/ASK demodulator, data filter, and data slicer. The RSSI (Received Signal Strength
Indicator) signal and the raw digital output signal of the demodulator are available at the pins RSSI and DEM_OUT. The
demodulated data signal Demod_Out is fed to the digital control logic where it is evaluated and buffered as described in
section “Digital Control Logic” on page 30.
In transmit mode, the fractional-N frequency synthesizer generates the TX frequency which is fed to the PA. In ASK mode
the PA is modulated by the signal PA_Enable. In FSK mode the PA is enabled and the signal TX_DATA (FSK) modulates
the fractional-N frequency synthesizer. The frequency deviation is digitally controlled and internally fixed to about ±16kHz
(see Table 4-1 on page 23 for exact values). The transmit data can also be buffered as described in section “Digital Control
Logic” on page 30. A lock detector within the synthesizer ensures that the transmission will start only if the synthesizer is
locked.
The RX/TX switch can be used to combine the LNA input and the PA output to a single antenna with a minimum of losses.
Transparent modes without buffering of RX and TX data are also available to allow protocols and coding schemes other than
the internally supported Manchester encoding.
3.1
Low-IF Receiver
The receive path consists of a fully integrated low-IF receiver. It fulfills the sensitivity, blocking, selectivity, supply voltage and
supply current specification needed to manufacture, for example, an automotive remote control unit without the use of SAW
blocking filter (see Figure 2-1 on page 7). In a Base-station Application (5V) the receiver can be used with an additional
blocking SAW front-end filter as shown in Figure 2.2 on page 8.
At 433.92MHz the receiver has a typical system noise figure of 7.0dB, a system I1dBCP of -30dBm and a system IIP3 of –
20dBm. There is no AGC or switching of the LNA needed; thus, a better blocking performance is achieved. This receiver
uses an IF (Intermediate Frequency) of 226kHz, the typical image rejection is 30dB and the typical 3dB IF filter bandwidth is
185kHz (fIF = 226kHz ±92.5kHz, flo_IF = 133.5kHz and fhi_IF = 318.5kHz). The demodulator needs a signal to Gaussian noise
ratio of 8dB for 20Kbit/s Manchester with ±16kHz frequency deviation in FSK mode; thus, the resulting sensitivity at
433.92MHz is typically –106dBm at 20Kbit/s Manchester.
Due to the low phase noise and spurious emissions of the synthesizer in receive mode(1) together with the eighth order
integrated IF filter, the receiver has a better selectivity and blocking performance than more complex double superhet
receivers but without external components and without numerous spurious receiving frequencies.
A low-IF architecture is also less sensitive to second-order intermodulation (IIP2) than direct conversion receivers, where
every pulse or AM-modulated signal (especially the signals from TDMA systems like GSM) demodulates to the receiving
signal band at second-order non-linearities.
Note:

Input Matching at RF_IN
The measured input impedances as well as the values of a parallel equivalent circuit of these impedances can be seen in the
Table 3-1. The highest sensitivity is achieved with power matching of these impedances to the source impedance of 50Ω.

The matching of the LNA Input to 50Ωwas done with the circuit shown in Figure 3-1 and with the values given in Table 3-2 on
page 11. The reflection coefficients were always ≤ 10dB. Note that value changes of C1 and L1 may be necessary to
compensate for individual board layouts. The measured typical FSK and ASK Manchester code sensitivities with a Bit Error
Rate (BER) of 10-3 are shown in Table 3-3 on page 11 and Table 3-4 on page 11. These measurements were done with
inductors having a quality factor according to Table 3-2 on page 11, resulting in estimated matching losses of 0.7dB at
433.92MHz, 0.7dB at 868.3MHz. These losses can be estimated when calculating the parallel equivalent resistance of the
inductor with Rloss = 2 × π × f × L × QL and the matching loss with 10 log(1 + Rp/Rloss).
With an ideal inductor, for example, the sensitivity at 433.92MHz/FSK/20Kbit/s/±16kHz/Manchester can be improved from –
106dBm to –106.7dBm. The sensitivity depends on the control logic which examines the incoming data stream. The
examination limits must be programmed in control registers 5 and 6. The measurements in Table 3-3 on page 11 and Table
3-4 on page 11 are based on the values of registers 5 and 6 according to Table 9-3 on page 53.

Sensitivity versus Supply Voltage, Temperature and Frequency Offset
To calculate the behavior of a transmission system it is important to know the reduction of the sensitivity due to several
influences. The most important are frequency offset due to crystal oscillator (XTO) and crystal frequency (XTAL) errors,
temperature and supply voltage dependency of the noise figure and IF filter bandwidth of the receiver. Figure 3-2 shows the
typical sensitivity at 433.92MHz/FSK/20Kbit/s/±16kHz/Manchester versus the frequency offset between transmitter and
receiver with Tamb = –40°C, +25°C and +105°C and supply voltage VS1 = VS2 = 2.4V, 3.0V and 3.6V.

As can be seen in Figure 3-2 on page 12 the supply voltage has almost no influence. The temperature has an influence of
about +1.5/–0.7dB, and a frequency offset of ±65kHz also influences by about ±1dB. All these influences, combined with the
sensitivity of a typical IC, are then within a range of –103.7dBm and –107.3dBm over temperature, supply voltage and
frequency offset which is –105.5dBm ±1.8dB. The integrated IF filter has an additional production tolerance of only ±7kHz,
hence, a frequency offset between the receiver and the transmitter of ±58kHz can be accepted for XTAL and XTO
tolerances.
This small sensitivity spread over supply voltage, frequency offset and temperature is very unusual in such a receiver. It is
achieved by an internal, very fast and automatic frequency correction in the FSK demodulator after the IF filter, which leads
to a higher system margin. This frequency correction tracks the input frequency very quickly; if, however, the input frequency
makes a larger step (for example, if the system changes between different communication partners), the receiver has to be
restarted. This can be done by switching back to IDLE mode and then again to RX mode. For that purpose, an automatic
mode is also available. This automatic mode switches to IDLE mode and back into RX mode every time a bit error occurs
(see Section 7. on page 30).
3.4
Frequency Accuracy of the Crystals
The XTO is an amplitude regulated Pierce oscillator with integrated load capacitors. The initial tolerances (due to the
frequency tolerance of the XTAL, the integrated capacitors on XTAL1, XTAL2 and the XTO’s initial transconductance gm)
can be compensated to a value within ±0.5ppm by measuring the CLK output frequency and programming the control
registers 2 and 3 (see Table 7-7 on page 32 and Table 7-10 on page 33). The XTO then has a remaining influence of less
than ±2ppm over temperature and supply voltage due to the band gap controlled gm of the XTO.
The needed frequency stability of the used crystals over temperature and aging is hence
±58kHz/433.92MHz – 2 × ±2.5ppm = ±128.6ppm for 433.92Mz,
±58kHz/868.3MHz – 2 × ±2.5ppm = ±61.8ppm for 868.3MHz.
Thus, the used crystals in receiver and transmitter each need to be better than ±64.3ppm for 433.92MHz, ±30.9ppm for
868.3MHz. In access control systems it may be advantageous to have a more tight tolerance at the Base-station in order to
relax the requirement for the remote control unit.

RX Supply Current versus Temperature and Supply Voltage
Table 3-5 shows the typical supply current at 433.92MHz of the transceiver in RX mode versus supply voltage and
temperature with VS = VS1 = VS2. As can be seen, the supply current at 2.4V and –40°C is less than the typical supply
current; this is useful because this is also the operation point where a lithium cell has the worst performance. The typical
supply current at 868.3MHz in RX mode is about the same as for 433.92MHz.

Blocking, Selectivity
As can be seen in Figure 3-3 and Figure 3-4 on page 13, the receiver can receive signals 3dB higher than the sensitivity
level in the presence of very large blockers of –47dBm/–34dBm with small frequency offsets of ±1/ ±10MHz.
Figure 3-3 shows narrow band blocking and Figure 3-4 wide band blocking characteristics. The measurements were done
with a signal of 433.92MHz/FSK/20Kbit/s/±16kHz/Manchester, and with a level of –106dBm + 3dB = –103dBm which is 3dB
above the sensitivity level. The figures show how much larger than –103dBm a continuous wave signal can be before the
BER is higher than 10–3. The measurements were done at the 50Ω input according to Figure 3-1 on page 11. At 1MHz, for
example, the blocker can be 56dB higher than –103dBm which is -103dBm + 56dB = –47dBm. These values, together with
the good intermodulation performance, avoid the need for a SAW filter in the remote control unit application.

Figure 3-5 on page 14 shows the blocking measurement close to the received frequency to illustrate the selectivity and
image rejection. This measurement was done 6dB above the sensitivity level with a useful signal of
433.92MHz/FSK/20Kbit/s/±16kHz/Manchester with a level of –106dBm + 6dB = –100dBm. The figure shows to which extent
a continuous wave signal can surpass –100dBm until the BER is higher than 10-3. For example, at 1MHz the blocker can
then be 59dB higher than –100dBm which is –100dBm + 59dB = –41dBm.
Table 3-6 on page 14 shows the blocking performance measured relative to –100dBm for some other frequencies. Note that
sometimes the blocking is measured relative to the sensitivity level (dBS) instead of the carrier (dBC).

The ATA5428 can also receive FSK and ASK modulated signals if they are much higher than the I1dBCP. It can typically
receive useful signals at 10dBm. This is often referred to as the nonlinear dynamic range which is the maximum to minimum
receiving signal and is 116dB for 20Kbit/s Manchester. This value is useful if two transceivers have to communicate and are
very close to each other.

This high blocking performance even makes it possible for some applications using quarter wave whip antennas to use a
simple LC band-pass filter instead of a SAW filter in the receiver.
When designing such an LC filter take into account that the 3dB blocking at 433.92MHz/2 = 216.96MHz is 43dBC and at
433.92MHz/3 = 144.64MHz is 48dBC and at 2 × (433.92MHz + 226kHz) + –226kHz = 868.066MHz/868.518MHz is 56dBC.
And especially that at 3 × (433.92MHz + 226kHz) + 226kHz = 1302.664MHz the receiver has its second LO harmonic
receiving frequency with only 12dBC blocking.
3.7
In-band Disturbers, Data Filter, Quasi-peak Detector, Data Slicer
If a disturbing signal falls into the received band or a blocker is not continuous wave, the performance of a receiver strongly
depends on the circuits after the IF filter. The demodulator, data filter and data slicer are important, in that case.
The data filter of the ATA5428 implies a quasi-peak detector. This results in a good suppression of the above mentioned
disturbers and exhibits a good carrier to Gaussian noise performance. The required useful signal to disturbing signal ratio to
be received with a BER of 10–3 is less than 12dB in ASK mode and less than 3dB (BR_Range_0 to BR_Range_2)/6dB
(BR_Range_3) in FSK mode.
14
ATA5428 [DATASHEET]
4841G–WIRE–03/14
Due to the many different waveforms possible these numbers are measured for signal as well as for disturbers with peak
amplitude values. Note that these values are worst case values and are valid for any type of modulation and modulating
frequency of the disturbing signal as well as the receiving signal. For many combinations, lower carrier to disturbing signal
ratios are needed.

DEM_OUT Output
The internal raw output signal of the demodulator Demod_Out is available at pin DEM_OUT. DEM_OUT is an open drain
output and must be connected to a pull-up resistor if it is used (typically 100kΩ) otherwise no signal is present at that pin.
RSSI Output
The output voltage of the pin RSSI is an analog voltage, proportional to the input power level. Using the RSSI output signal,
the signal strength of different transmitters can be distinguished. The usable dynamic range of the RSSI amplifier is 70dB,
the input power range P(RFIN) is –115dBm to –45dBm and the gain is 8mV/dB. Figure 3-6 shows the RSSI characteristic of
a typical device at 433.92MHz with VS1 = VS2 = 2.4V to 3.6V and Tamb = –40°C to +85°C with a matched input according to
Table 3-2 on page 11 and Figure 3-1 on page 11. At 868.3MHz about 2.7dB more signal level is needed for the same RSSI
results.

3.10 Frequency Synthesizer
The synthesizer is a fully integrated fractional-N design with internal loop filters for receive and transmit mode. The XTO
frequency fXTO is the reference frequency FREF for the synthesizer. The bits FR0 to FR12 in control registers 2 and 3 (see
Table 7-7 on page 32 and Table 7-10 on page 33) are used to adjust the deviation of fXTO. In transmit mode, at 433.92MHz,
the carrier has a phase noise of –111dBC/Hz at 1MHz and spurious emissions at FREF of –66dBC with a high PLL loop
bandwidth allowing the direct modulation of the carrier with 20Kbit/s Manchester data. Due to the closed loop modulation any
spurious emissions caused by this modulation are effectively filtered out as can be seen in Figure 3-9 on page 17. In RX
mode the synthesizer has a phase noise of –120dBC/Hz at 1MHz and spurious emissions of –75dBC.
The initial tolerances of the crystal oscillator due to crystal tolerances, internal capacitor tolerances and the parasitics of the
board have to be compensated at manufacturing setup with control registers 2 and 3 as can be seen in Table 4-1 on page
23. The other control words for the synthesizer needed for ASK, FSK and receive/transmit switching are calculated
internally. The RF (Radio Frequency) resolution is equal to the XTO frequency divided by 16384 which is 808.9Hz at
433.92MHz, 818.6Hz at 868.3MHz.
For the multi-channel system the frequency control word FREQ in control registers 2 and 3 can be programmed in the range
of 1000 to 6900, this is equivalent to a programmable tuning range of ±2.5MHz hence every frequency within the 433MHz,
868MHz ISM bands can be programmed as receive and as transmit frequency, and the position of channels within these
ISM bands can be chosen arbitrarily (see Table 4-1 on page 23).
Care must be taken as to the harmonics of the CLK output signal as well as to the harmonics produced by a microprocessor
clocked with it, since these harmonics can disturb the reception of signals. In a single-channel system, using FREQ = 3803
to 4053 ensures that harmonics of this signal do not disturb the receive mode.

4841G–WIRE–03/14
3.11 FSK/ASK Transmission
Due to the fast modulation capability of the synthesizer and the high resolution, the carrier can be internally FSK modulated,
which simplifies the application of the transceiver. The deviation of the transmitted signal is ±20 digital frequency steps of the
synthesizer which is equal to ±16.17kHz for 433.92MHz, ±16.37kHz for 868.3MHz.
Due to closed loop modulation with PLL filtering the modulated spectrum is very clean, meeting ETSI and CEPT regulations
when using a simple LC filter for the power amplifier harmonics as it is shown in Figure 2.2 on page 8. In ASK mode the
frequency is internally connected to the center of the FSK transmission and the power amplifier is switched on and off to
perform the modulation. Figure 3-7 to Figure 3-9 on page 17 show the spectrum of the FSK modulation with pseudo-random
data with 20Kbit/s/±16.17kHz/Manchester and 5dBm output power.

3.12 Output Power Setting and PA Matching at RF_OUT
The Power Amplifier (PA) is a single-ended open collector stage which delivers a current pulse which is nearly independent
of supply voltage, temperature and tolerances due to band gap stabilization. Resistor R1, see Figure 3-10, sets a reference
current which controls the current in the PA. A higher resistor value results in a lower reference current, a lower output power
and a lower current consumption of the PA. The usable range of R1 is 15kΩto 56kΩ. Pin PWR_H switches the output power
range between about 0dBm to 5dBm (PWR_H = GND) and 5dBm to 10dBm (PWR_H = AVCC) by multiplying this reference
current by a factor 1 (PWR_H = GND) and 2.5 (PWR_H = AVCC), which corresponds to about 5dB more output power.
If the PA is switched off in TX mode, the current consumption without output stage with VS1 = VS2 = 3V, Tamb = 25°C is
typically 6.5mA for 868.3MHz and 6.95mA for 433.92MHz.
The maximum output power is achieved with optimum load resistances RLopt according to Table 3-7 on page 19 with
compensation of the 1.0pF output capacitance of the RF_OUT pin by absorbing it into the matching network consisting of L1,
C1, C3 as shown in Figure 3-10 on page 18. There must also be a low resistive DC path to AVCC to deliver the DC current of
the power amplifier's last stage. The matching of the PA output was done with the circuit shown in Figure 3-10 on page 18
with the values in Table 3-7 on page 19. Note that value changes of these elements may be necessary to compensate for
individual board layouts.
Example:
According to Table 3-7 on page 19, with a frequency of 433.92 MHz and output power of 11dBm the overall current
consumption is typically 17.8mA; hence, the PA needs 17.8mA - 6.95mA = 10.85mA in this mode, which corresponds to an
overall power amplifier efficiency of the PA of (10(11dBm/10) × 1 mW)/(3V × 10.85mA) × 100% = 38.6% in this case.
Using a higher resistor in this example of R1 = 1.091 × 22kΩ = 24kΩresults in 9.1% less current in the PA of 10.85mA/1.091
= 9.95mA and 10 × log(1.091) = 0.38dB less output power if using a new load resistance of 300Ω × 1.091 = 327Ω. The
resulting output power is then 11dBm – 0.38dB = 10.6dBm and the overall current consumption is
6.95mA + 9.95mA = 16.9mA.
The values of Table 3-7 on page 19 were measured with standard multi-layer chip inductors with quality factors Q according
to Table 3-7 on page 19. Looking to the 433.92MHz/11dBm case with the quality factor of QL1 = 43 the loss in this inductor is
estimated with the parallel equivalent resistance of the inductor Rloss = 2 × π × f × L × QL1 and the matching loss with
10 log (1 + RLopt/Rloss) which is equal to 0.32dB losses in this inductor. Taking this into account, the PA efficiency is then
42% instead of 38.6%.
Be aware that the high power mode (PWR_H = AVCC) can only be used with a supply voltage higher than 2.7V, whereas
the low power mode (PWR_H = GND) can be used down to 2.4V as can be seen in the “Electrical Characteristics: General”
on page 58.
The supply blocking capacitor C2 (10nF) has to be placed close to the matching network because of the RF current flowing
through it.

3.13 Output Power and TX Supply Current versus Supply Voltage and Temperature
Table 3-8 shows the measurement of the output power for a typical device with VS = VS1 = VS2 in the 433.92MHz and
6.2dBm case versus temperature and supply voltage measured according to Figure 3-10 on page 18 with components
according to Table 3-7. As opposed to the receiver sensitivity, the supply voltage has here the major impact on output power
variations because of the large signal behavior of a power amplifier. Thus, a two battery system with voltage regulator or a
5V system shows much less variation than a 2.4V to 3.6V one battery system because the supply voltage is then well within
3.0V and 3.6V.
The reason is that the amplitude at the output RF_OUT with optimum load resistance is AVCC – 0.4V and the power is
proportional to (AVCC – 0.4V)2 if the load impedance is not changed. This means that the theoretical output power reduction
if reducing the supply voltage from 3.0V to 2.4V is 10 log ((3V – 0.4V)2/(2.4V – 0.4V)2) = 2.2dB. Table 3-8 shows that
principle behavior in the measurement. This is not the same case for higher voltages, since here increasing the supply
voltage from 3V to 3.6V should theoretical increase the power by 1.8dB; but a gain of only 0.8dB in the measurement shows
that the amplitude does not increase with the supply voltage because the load impedance is optimized for 3V and the output
amplitude stays more constant.

current. Measurements of all the cases in Table 3-7 on page 19 over temperature and supply voltage have shown about the
same relative behavior as shown in Table 3-9.

3.14 RX/TX Switch
The RX/TX switch decouples the LNA from the PA in TX mode, and directs the received power to the LNA in RX mode. To
do this, it has a low impedance to GND in TX mode and a high impedance to GND in RX mode. To design a proper RX/TX
decoupling, a linear simulation tool for radio frequency design together with the measured device impedances of Table 3-1
on page 10, Table 3-7 on page 19, Table 3-10 and Table 3-11 on page 21 should be used, but the exact element values have
to be found on-board. Figure 3-11 shows an approximate equivalent circuit of the switch. The principal switching operation is
described here according to the application of Figure 2-1 on page 7. The application of Figure 2.2 on page 8 works similarly.

3.15 Matching Network in TX Mode
In TX mode the 20mm long and 0.4mm wide transmission line which is much shorter than λ/4 is approximately switched in
parallel to the capacitor C9 to GND. The antenna connection between C8 and C9 has an impedance of about 50Ω locking
from the transmission line into the loop antenna with pin RF_OUT, L2, C10, C8 and C9 connected (using a C9 without the
added 7.6pF as discussed later). The transmission line can be approximated with a 16nH inductor in series with a 1.5Ω
resistor, the closed switch can be approximated according to Table 3-10 with the series connection of 1.6nH and 5Ω in this
mode. To have a parallel resonant high impedance circuit with little RF power going into it looking from the loop antenna into
the transmission line a capacitor of about 7.6pF to GND is needed at the beginning of the transmission line (this capacitor is
later absorbed into C9 which is then higher, as needed for 50Ω transformation). To keep the 50Ω impedance in RX mode at
the end of this transmission line, C7 also has to be about 7.6pF. This reduces the TX power by about 0.5dB at 433.92MHz
compared to the case the where the LNA path is completely disconnected.

ATA5428 [DATASHEET]
4841G–WIRE–03/14
3.16 Matching Network in RX Mode
In RX mode the RF_OUT pin has a high impedance of about 7kΩ in parallel with 1.0pF at 433.92MHz as can be seen in
Table 3-11. This, together with the losses of the inductor L2 with 120nH and QL2 = 25, gives about 3.7kΩ loss impedance at
RF_OUT. Since the optimum load impedance in TX mode for the power amplifier at RF_OUT is 890Ω the loss associated
with the inductor L2 and the RF_OUT pin can be estimated to be 10 × log(1 + 890/3700) = 0.95dB compared to the optimum
matched loop antenna without L2 and RF_OUT. The switch represents, in this mode at 433.92MHz, approximately an
inductor of 1.6nH in series with the parallel connection of 2.5pF and 2.0kΩ. Since the impedance level at pin RX_TX1 in RX
mode is about 50Ω this only negligibly dampens the received signal (by about 0.1dB). When matching the LNA to the loop
antenna, the transmission line and the 7.6pF part of C9 have to be taken into account when choosing the values of C11 and
L1 so that the impedance seen from the loop antenna into the transmission line with the 7.6pF capacitor connected is 50Ω.
Since the loop antenna in RX mode is loaded by the LNA input impedance, the loaded Q of the loop antenna is lowered by
about a factor of 2 in RX mode; hence the antenna bandwidth is higher than in TX mode.

Note that if matching to 50Ω, like in Figure 2.2 on page 8, a high Q wire-wound inductor with a Q > 70 should be used for L2
to minimize its contribution to RX losses that will otherwise be dominant. The RX and TX losses will be in the range of 1.0dB
there.
4.
XTO
The XTO is an amplitude-regulated Pierce oscillator type with integrated load capacitances (2 × 18pF with a tolerance of
±17%) hence CLmin = 7.4pF and CLmax = 10.6pF. The XTO oscillation frequency fXTO is the reference frequency FREF for the
fractional-N synthesizer. When designing the system in terms of receiving and transmitting frequency offset, the accuracy of
the crystal and XTO have to be considered.
The synthesizer can adjust the local oscillator frequency for the initial frequency error in fXTO. This is done at nominal supply
voltage and temperature with the control registers 2 and 3 (see Table 7-7 on page 32 and Table 7-10 on page 33). The
remaining local oscillator tolerance at nominal supply voltage and temperature is then < ±0.5ppm. The XTO’s gm has very
low influence of less than ±2ppm on the frequency at nominal supply voltage and temperature.
In a single channel system less than ±150ppm should be corrected to avoid that harmonics of the CLK output disturb the
receive mode. If the CLK is not used or if it is carefully laid out on the application PCB (as needed for multi channel systems),
more than ±150ppm can be compensated.
Over temperature and supply voltage, the XTO's additional pulling is only ±2ppm. The XTAL versus temperature and its
aging is then the main source of frequency error in the local oscillator.
The XTO frequency depends on XTAL properties and the load capacitances CL1, 2 at pin XTAL1 and XTAL2. The pulling of
f
XTO from the nominal fXTAL is calculated using the following formula:
Cm
------- -----------------------------------------------------------
× 10 ppm.
C
LN – CL
6
P =

2
(C0 + CLN) × (C0 + CL)
Cm is the crystal's motional, C0 the shunt and CLN the nominal load capacitance of the XTAL found in its data sheet. CL is the
total actual load capacitance of the crystal in the circuit and consists of CL1 and CL2 in series connection.

With Cm ≤ 14fF, C0 ≥ 1.5pF, CLN = 9pF and CL = 7.4pF to 10.6pF, the pulling amounts to P ≤ ±100ppm and with Cm ≤ 7fF,
C0 ≥ 1.5pF, CLN = 9pF and CL = 7.4pF to 10.6pF, the pulling is P ≤ ±50ppm.
Since typical crystals have less than ±50ppm tolerance at 25°C, the compensation is not critical, and can in both cases be
done with the ±150ppm.
C0 of the XTAL has to be lower than CLmin/2 = 3.7pF for a Pierce oscillator type in order to not enter the steep region of
pulling versus load capacitance where there is a risk of an unstable oscillation.
To ensure proper start-up behavior the small signal gain, and thus the negative resistance, provided by this XTO at start is
very large; for example, oscillation starts up even in worst case with a crystal series resistance of 1.5kΩat C0 ≤2.2pF with this
XTO. The negative resistance is approximately given by
Z1 × Z3 + Z2 × Z3 + Z1 × Z2 × Z3 × gm
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Re{ZXTOcore} = Re
Z1 + Z2 + Z3 + Z1 × Z2 × gm
with Z1, Z2 as complex impedances at pin XTAL1 and XTAL2, hence
Z1 = –j/(2 × π × fXTO × CL1) + 5Ωand Z2 = –j/(2 × π × fXTO × CL2) + 5Ω.
Z3 consists of crystals C0 in parallel with an internal 110 kΩ resistor hence
Z3 = –j/(2 × π × fXTO × C0) /110kΩ, gm is the internal transconductance between XTAL1 and XTAL2 with typically 19mS at
25°C.
With fXTO = 13.5MHz, gm = 19mS, CL = 9pF, and C0 = 2.2pF, this results in a negative resistance of about 2kΩ. The worst
case for technological, temperature and supply voltage variations is then for C0 ≤ 2.2pF always higher than 1.5kΩ.
Due to the large gain at startup, the XTO is able to meet a very low start-up time. The oscillation start-up time can be
estimated with the time constant τ .
2
τ = -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
4 × π2 × fm2 × Cm × (Re(ZXTOcore) + Rm)
After 10τ to 20τ an amplitude detector detects the oscillation amplitude and sets XTO_OK to High if the amplitude is large
enough. This sets N_RESET to High and activates the CLK output if CLK_ON in control register 3 is High (see Table 7-7 on
page 32). Note that the necessary conditions of the VSOUT and DVCC voltage also have to be fulfilled (see Figure 4-2 on
page 23 and Figure 5-1 on page 25).
To save current in IDLE and Sleep modes, the load capacitors are partially switched off in these modes with S1 and S2, as
seen in Figure 4-2 on page 23.
It is recommended to use a crystal with Cm = 3.0fF to 7.0fF, CLN = 9pF, Rm < 120Ωand C0 = 1.0pF to 2.2pF.
Lower values of Cm can be used, this increases the start-up time slightly. Lower values of C0 or higher values of Cm (up to
15fF) can also be used, this has only little influence on pulling.

To find the right values used in control registers 2 and 3 (see Table 7-7 on page 32 and Table 7-10 on page 33), the
relationship between fXTO and the fRF is shown in Table 4-1 on page 23. To determine the right content, the frequency at pin
CLK as well as the output frequency at RF_OUT in ASK mode can be measured, then the FREQ value can be calculated
according to Table 4-1 on page 23 so that fRF is exactly the desired radio frequency.

The variable FREQ depends on FREQ2 and FREQ3, which are defined by the bits FR0 to FR12 in control register 2 and 3,
and is calculated as follows:
FREQ = FREQ2 + FREQ3
Care must be taken to the harmonics of the CLK output signal fCLK as well as to the harmonics produced by an
microprocessor clocked with it, since these harmonics can disturb the reception of signals if they get to the RF input. In a
single channel system, using FREQ = 3803 to 4053 ensures that the harmonics of this signal do not disturb the receive
mode. In a multichannel system, the CLK signal can either be not used or carefully laid out on the application PCB. The
supply voltage of the microcontroller must also be carefully blocked in a multichannel system.

Pin CLK
Pin CLK is an output to clock a connected microcontroller. The clock frequency fCLK is calculated as follows:

Because the enabling of pin CLK is asynchronous, the first clock cycle may be incomplete. The signal at CLK output has a
nominal 50% duty cycle.

control register 6 (see Table 7-20 on page 35) and XLim which is defined in control register 4 (see Table 7-13 on page 33).
This clock cycle TXDCLK is defined by the following formulas for further reference:

BR_Range 0: TXDCLK = 8 × TDCLK × XLim

The supply voltage range of the ATA5428 is 2.4V to 3.6V or 4.4V to 6.6V.
Pin VS1 is the supply voltage input for the range 2.4V to 3.6V and is used in 1 Li battery applications (3V) using a single
lithium 3V cell. Pin VS2 is the voltage input for the range 4.4V to 6.6V (2 Li battery application (6V) and Base-station
Application (5V); in this case, the voltage regulator V_REG1 regulates VS1 to typically 3.25V. If the voltage regulator is
active, a blocking capacitor of 2.2µF has to be connected to VS1.
Pin VAUX is an input for an additional auxiliary voltage supply and can be connected, for example, to an inductive supply
(see Figure 5-6 on page 29). This input can only be used together with a rectifier or as in the application shown in Figure 2.2
on page 8 and must otherwise be left open.
Pin VSINT is the voltage input for the Microcontoller_Interface and must be connected to the power supply of the
microcontroller. The voltage range of VVSINT is 2.4V to 5.25V (see Figure 5-5 on page 29 and Figure 5-6 on page 29).
AVCC is the internal operation voltage of the RF transceiver and is fed by VS1 via the switch SW_AVCC. AVCC must be
blocked with a 68nF capacitor (see Figure 2-1 on page 7, Figure 2.2 on page 8 and Figure 2-3 on page 9).
DVCC is the internal operation voltage of the digital control logic and is fed by VS1 or VSOUT via the switch SW_DVCC.
DVCC must be blocked on pin DVCC with 68 nF (see Figure 2-1 on page 7, Figure 2.2 on page 8 and Figure 2-3 on page 9).
Pin VSOUT is a power supply output voltage for external devices (for example, microcontrollers) and is fed by VS1 via the
switch SW_VSOUT, or by the auxiliary voltage supply VAUX via V_REG2. The voltage regulator V_REG2 regulates VSOUT
to typically 3.25V. If the voltage regulator is active, a blocking capacitor of 2.2µF has to be connected to VSOUT. VSOUT
can be switched off by the VSOUT_EN bit in control register 3 and is then reactivated by conditions found in Figure 5-2 on
page 26.
ATA5428 [DATASHEET]

4841G–WIRE–03/14
Pin N_RESET is set to low if the voltage VVSOUT at pin VSOUT drops below 2.3V (typically) and can be used as a reset signal
for a connected microcontroller (see Figure 5-3 on page 28 and Figure 5-4 on page 28).
Pin PWR_ON is an input to switch on the transceiver (active high).
Pin T1 to T5 are inputs for push buttons and can also be used to switch on the transceiver (active low).
For current consumption reasons it is recommended to set T1 to T5 to GND, or PWR_ON to VCC only temporarily.
Otherwise, an additional current flows because of a 50kΩ pull-up resistor.
There are two voltage monitors generating the following signals (see Figure 5-1 on page 25):

OFF Mode
If the power supply (battery) is connected to pin VS1 and/or VS2, and if the voltage on pin VAUX VVAUX < 3.5V (typically),
then the transceiver is in OFF mode. In OFF mode AVCC, DVCC and VSOUT are disabled, resulting in very low power
consumption (IS_OFF is typically 10nA). In OFF mode the transceiver is not programmable via the 4-wire serial interface.
AUX Mode
The transceiver changes from OFF mode to AUX mode if the voltage at pin VAUX VVAUX > 3.5V (typically). In AUX mode
DVCC and VSOUT are connected to the auxiliary power supply input (VAUX) via the voltage regulator V_REG2. In AUX
mode the transceiver is programmable via the 4-wire serial interface, but no RX or TX operations are possible because
AVCC = OFF.
The state transition OFF mode to AUX mode is indicated by an interrupt at pin IRQ and the status bit P_On_Aux = 1.
5.3
IDLE Mode
In IDLE mode AVCC and DVCC are connected to the battery voltage (VS1).
From OFF mode the transceiver changes to IDLE mode if pin PWR_ON is set to 1 or pin T1, T2, T3, T4 or T5 is set to “0”.
This state transition is indicated by an interrupt at pin IRQ and the status bits Power_On = 1 or ST1, ST2, ST3, ST4 or ST5 =
1.
From AUX mode the transceiver changes to IDLE mode by setting AVCC_EN = 1 in control register 1 via the 4-wire serial
interface or if pin PWR_ON is set to “1” or pin T1, T2, T3, T4 or T5 is set to “0”.
VSOUT is either connected to VS1 or to the auxiliary power supply (V_REG2).
If VVAUX < VS1 + 0.5V, VSOUT is connected to VS1. If VVAUX > VS1 + 0.5V, VSOUT is connected to V_REG2 and the status
bit P_On_Aux is set to “1”.
In IDLE mode, the RF transceiver is disabled and the power consumption IS_IDLE is about 230 µA (VSOUT OFF and CLK
output OFF and VS = VS1 = VS2 = 3V). The exact value of this current is strongly dependent on the application and the
exact operation mode, therefore check the section “Electrical Characteristics: General” on page 58 for the appropriate
application case.
Via the 4-wire serial interface a connected microcontroller can program the required parameter and enable the TX, RX
polling or RX mode.
The transceiver can be set back to OFF mode by an OFF command via the 4-wire serial interface (the bit AVCC_EN must be
set to “0”, the input level of pin PWR_ON must be “0” and pin T1, T2, T3, T4 and T5 = 1 before writing the OFF command).

Reset Timing and Reset Logic
If the transceiver is switched on (OFF mode to IDLE mode, OFF mode to AUX mode) DVCC and VSOUT ramp up as
illustrated in Figure 5-3 on page 28 (AVCC only ramps up if the transceiver is set to the IDLE mode). The internal signal
DVCC_RESET resets the digital control logic and sets the control register to default values.
A voltage monitor generates a low level at pin N_RESET until the voltage at pin VSOUT exceeds 2.38V (typically) and the
start-up time of the XTO has elapsed (amplitude detector, see Figure 4-2 on page 23). After the voltage at pin VSOUT
exceeds 2.3V (typically) and the start-up time of the XTO has elapsed, the output clock at pin CLK is available. Because the
enabling of pin CLK is asynchronous, the first clock cycle may be incomplete.
The status bit Low_Batt is set to “1” if the voltage at pin VSOUT VVSOUT drops below VThres_2 (typically 2.38V). Low_Batt is
set to “0” if VVSOUT exceeds VThres_2 and the status register is read via the 4-wire serial interface or N_RESET is set to low.
ATA5428 [DATASHEET]

4841G–WIRE–03/14
If VVSOUT drops below VThres_1 (typically 2.3V), N_RESET is set to low. If bit VSOUT_EN in control register 3 is “1”, a
DVCC_RESET is also generated. If VVSOUT was already disabled by the connected microcontroller by setting bit
VSOUT_EN = 0, no DVCC_RESET is generated.
Note:
If VSOUT < VThres_1 (typically 2.3 V) the output of the pin CLK is low, the Microcontroller_Interface is disabled
and the transceiver is not programmable via the 4-wire serial interface.

Microcontroller Interface
The microcontroller interface is a level converter which converts all internal digital signals that are referred to the DVCC
voltage into the voltage used by the microcontroller. Therefore, the pin VSINT has to be connected to the supply voltage of
the microcontroller.
This makes it possible to use the internal voltage regulator/switch at pin VSOUT as in Figure 2-1 on page 7 and Figure 2-3
on page 9 or to connect the microcontroller and the pin VSINT directly to the supply voltage of the microcontroller as in
Figure 2.2 on page 8.

Register Structure
The configuration of the transceiver is stored in RAM cells. The RAM contains a 16 × 8-bit TX/RX data buffer and a 6 × 8-bit
control register and is writable and readable via a 4-wire serial interface (CS, SCK, SDI_TMDI, SDO_TMDO).
The 1 × 8-bit status register is not part of the RAM and is readable via the 4-wire serial interface.
The RAM and the status information are stored as long as the transceiver is in any active mode (DVCC = VS1 or DVCC =
V_REG2) and are lost when the transceiver switches to OFF mode (DVCC =OFF).
After the transceiver is turned on via pin PWR_ON = High, T1 = Low, T2 = Low, T3 = Low, T4 = Low or T5 = Low or the
voltage at pin VAUX VVAUX > 3.5V (typically), the control registers are in the default state.

Status Register
The status register indicates the current status of the transceiver and is readable via the 4-wire serial interface. Setting
Power_On or P_On_Aux or an event on ST1, ST2, ST3, ST4 or ST5 is indicated by an IRQ.
Reading the status register resets the bits Power_On, Low_Batt, P_On_Aux and the IRQ.

Indicates that the transceiver was woken up by pin PWR_ON (rising edge
on pin PWR_ON). During Power_On = 1, the bits VSOUT_EN and CLK_ON
in control register 3 are set to “1”. (see Figure 7-4 on page 39)
Power_On
Low_Batt
Indicates that output voltage on pin VSOUT is too low
(VVSOUT < 2.38V typically), (see Figure 7-5 on page 40)
Indicates that the auxiliary supply voltage on pin VAUX is high enough to
operate.
State transition:
P_On_Aux
a) OFF mode → AUX mode (see Figure 5-2 on page 26)
b) IDLE mode (VSOUT = VS1) → IDLE mode (VSOUT = V_REG2)
(see Figure 7-6 on page 41)
7.5
Pin Tn
To switch the transceiver from OFF to IDLE mode, pin Tn must be set to “0” (maximum 0.2 × VVS2) for at least TTn_IRQ (see
Figure 7-2). The transceiver recognizes the negative edge, sets pin N_RESET to low and switches on DVCC, AVCC and the
power supply for external devices VSOUT.
If VDVCC exceeds 1.5V (typically) and the XTO is settled, the digital control logic is active and sets the status bit STn to “1”
and an interrupt is issued (TTn_IRQ).
After the voltage on pin VSOUT exceeds 2.3V (typically) and the start-up time of the XTO is elapsed, the output clock on pin
CLK is available. Because the enabling of pin CLK is asynchronous, the first clock cycle may be incomplete. N_RESET is set
to high if VVSOUT exceeds 2.38V (typically) and the XTO is settled.

If the transceiver is in any active mode (IDLE, AUX, TX, RX, RX_Polling), an integrated debounce logic is active. If there is
an event on pin Tn a debounce counter is set to 0 (T = 0) and started. The status is updated, an interrupt is issued and the
debounce counter is stopped after reaching the counter value T = 8195 × TDCLK
.
An event on the same key input before reaching T = 8195 × TDCLK stops the debounce counter. An event on an other key
input before reaching T = 8195 × TDCLK resets and restarts the debounce counter.
While the debounce counter is running, the bits VSOUT_EN and CLK_ON in control register 3 are set to “1”.
The interrupt is deleted after reading the status register or executing the command Delete_IRQ.
If pin Tn is not used, it can be left open because of an internal pull-up resistor (typically 50kΩ).

Pin PWR_ON
To switch the transceiver from OFF to IDLE mode, pin PWR_ON must be set to “1” (minimum 0.8 × VVS2) for at least
T
PWR_ON (see Figure 7-4). The transceiver recognizes the positive edge, sets pin N_RESET to low, and switches on DVCC,
AVCC and the power supply for external devices VSOUT.
If VDVCC exceeds 1.5V (typically) and the XTO is settled, the digital control logic is active and sets the status bit Power_On to
“1” and an interrupt is issued (TPWR_ON_IRQ_1).
After the voltage on pin VSOUT exceeds 2.3V (typically) and the start-up time of the XTO is elapsed the output clock on pin
CLK is available. Because the enabling of pin CLK is asynchronous, the first clock cycle may be incomplete. N_RESET is set
to high if VVSOUT exceeds 2.38V (typically) and the XTO is settled.
If the transceiver is in any active mode (IDLE, AUX, RX, RX_Polling, TX), a positive edge on pin PWR_ON sets Power_On
to “1” (after TPWR_ON_IRQ_2). The state transition Power_On 0 →1 generates an interrupt. If Power_On is still “1” during the
positive edge on pin PWR_ON no interrupt is issued. Power_On and the interrupt are deleted after reading the status
register.
During Power_On = 1, the bits VSOUT_EN and CLK_ON in control register 3 are set to “1”.
Note:
It is not possible to set the transceiver to OFF mode by setting pin PWR_ON to “0”. If pin PWR_ON is not used,
it must be connected to GND.

Pin VAUX
To switch the transceiver from OFF to AUX mode, the voltage VVAUX on pin VAUX must exceed 3.5V (typically) (see Figure
7-6 on page 41). If VVAUX exceeds 2V (typically) pin N_RESET is set to low, and DVCC and the power supply for external
devices VSOUT are switched on.
If VVAUX exceeds 3.5V (typically) the status bit P_On_Aux is set to “1” and an interrupt is issued.
After the voltage on pin VSOUT exceeds 2.3V (typically) and the start-up time of the XTO is elapsed, the output clock on pin
CLK is available. Because the enabling of pin CLK is asynchronous, the first clock cycle may be incomplete. N_RESET is set
to high if VVSOUT exceeds 2.38V (typically) and the XTO is settled.
If the transceiver is in any active mode (IDLE, TX, RX, RX_Polling), a positive edge on pin VAUX and VVAUX > VS1 + 0.5V
sets P_On_Aux to “1”. The state transition P_On_Aux 0 →1 generates an interrupt. If P_On_Aux is still “1” during the positive
edge on pin VAUX no interrupt is issued. P_On_Aux and the interrupt are deleted after reading the status register.

Transceiver Configuration
The configuration of the transceiver takes place via a 4-wire serial interface (CS, SCK, SDI_TMDI, SDO_TMDO) and is
organized in 8-bit units. The configuration is initiated with an 8-bit command. While shifting the command into pin SDI_TMDI,
the number of bytes in the TX/RX data buffer are available on pin SDO_TMDO. The read and write commands are followed
by one or more 8-bit data units. Each 8-bit data transmission begins with the MSB. The serial interface is in the reset state if
the level on pin CS = Low.

4-wire Serial Interface
The 4-wire serial interface consists of the Chip Select (CS), the Serial Clock (SCK), the Serial Data Input (SDI_TMDI) and
the Serial Data Output (SDO_TMDO). Data is transmitted/received bit by bit in synchronization with the serial clock.
Note:
If the output level on pin N_RESET is low, no data communication with the microcontroller is possible.
When CS is low and the transparent mode is inactive (T_MODE = 0), SDO_TMDO is in a high impedance state. When CS is
low and the transparent mode is active (T_MODE = 1), the RX data stream is available on pin SDO_TMDO.

RX polling mode
RX mode
The transceiver is designed to consume less than 1mA in RX operation while remaining sensitive to signals from a
corresponding transmitter. This is achieved via the polling circuit. This circuit enables the signal path periodically for a short
time. During this time the bit-check logic verifies the presence of a valid transmitter signal. Only if a valid signal is detected
does the transceiver remain active and transfer the data to the connected microcontroller. This transfer takes place either via
the TX/RX data buffer or via the pin SDO_TMDO. When there is no valid signal present, the transceiver is in sleep mode
most of the time, resulting in low current consumption. This condition is called RX polling mode. A connected microcontroller
can be disabled during this time.
All relevant parameters of the polling logic can be configured by the connected microcontroller. This flexibility enables the
user to meet the specifications in terms of current consumption, system response time, data rate, etc.
In RX mode the RF transceiver is enabled permanently and the bit-check logic verifies the presence of a valid transmitter
signal. When a valid signal is detected the transceiver transfers the data to the connected microcontroller. This transfer take
place either via the TX/RX data buffer or via the pin SDO_TMDO.

9.1.1 RX Polling Mode
When the transceiver is in RX polling mode it stays in a continuous cycle of three different modes. In sleep mode the RF
transceiver is disabled for the time period TSleep while consuming low current of IS = IIDLE_X. During the start-up period,
Startup_PLL and TStartup_Sig_Proc, all signal processing circuits are enabled and settled. In the following bit-check mode, the
T
incoming data stream is analyzed bit by bit to see if it is a valid transmitter signal. If no valid signal is present, the transceiver
is set back to sleep mode after the period TBit-check. This period varies check by check as it is a statistical process. An
average value for TBit-check is given in the electrical characteristics. During TStartup_PLL the current consumption is IS =
I
Startup_PLL_X. During TStartup_Sig_Proc and TBit-check the current consumption is IS = IRX_X. The condition of the transceiver is
indicated on pin RX_ACTIVE (see Figure 9-1 on page 46 and Figure 9-2 on page 47). The average current consumption in
RX polling mode IP is different in 1 Li battery application (3V), 2 Li battery application (6V) or Base-station Application (5V).
To calculate IP the index X must be replaced by VS1,VS2 in 1 Li battery application (3V), VS2 in 2 Li battery application (6V)
or VS2,VAUX in Base-station Application (5V) (see section “Electrical Characteristics: General” on page 58).
IIDLE_X × TSleep + IStartup_PLL_X × TStartup_PLL + IRX_X × (TStartup_Sig_Proc + TBitcheck
IP = ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sleep + TStartup_PLL + TStartup_Sig_Proc + TBit_check
)
T
To save current it is recommended that CLK and VVSOUT be disabled during RX polling mode. IP does not include the current
of the Microcontroller_Interface, IVSINT, or the current of an external device connected to pin VSOUT (for example,
microcontroller). If CLK and/or VSOUT is enabled during RX polling mode the current consumption is calculated as follows:
IS_Poll = IP + IVSINT + IEXT
During TSleep, TStartup_PLL and TStartup_Sig_Proc, the transceiver is not sensitive to a transmitter signal. To guarantee the
reception of a transmitted command, the transmitter must start the telegram with an adequate preburst. The required length
of the preburst, TPreburst, depends on the polling parameters TSleep, TStartup_PLL, TStartup_Sig_Proc and TBit-check. Thus, TBit-check
depends on the actual bit rate and the number of bits (NBit-check) to be tested.
TPreburst ≥ TSleep + TStartup_PLL + TStartup_Sig_Proc + TBit_check
9.1.2 Sleep Mode
The length of period TSleep is defined by the 5-bit word sleep in control register 4, the extension factor XSleep defined by the bit
XSleep in control register 4, and the basic clock cycle TDCLK. It is calculated to be:
TSleep = Sleep × 1024 × TDCLK × XSleep
In US and European applications, the maximum value of TSleep is about 38ms if XSleep is set to 1 (which is done by setting the
bit XSleep in control register 4 to “0”). The time resolution is about 1.2ms in that case. The sleep time can be extended to
about 300ms by setting XSleep to 8 (which is done by setting XSleep in control register 4 to “1”), the time resolution is then
about 9.6ms.
9.1.3 Start-up Mode
During TStartup_PLL the PLL is enabled and starts up. If the PLL is locked, the signal processing circuit starts up
(TStartup_Sig_Proc). After the start-up time all circuits are in stable condition and ready to receive.

9.1.4 Bit-check Mode
In bit-check mode the incoming data stream is examined to distinguish between a valid signal from a corresponding
transmitter and signals due to noise. This is done by subsequent time frame checks where the distance between 2 signal
edges are continuously compared to a programmable time window. The maximum count of this edge-to-edge test before the
transceiver switches to receiving mode is also programmable.
9.1.5 Configuration of the Bit Check
Assuming a modulation scheme that contains two edges per bit, two time frame checks verify one bit. This is valid for
Manchester, Bi-phase and most other modulation schemes. The maximum count of bits to be checked can be set to 0, 3, 6
or 9 bits via the variable NBit-check in control register 5. This implies 0, 6, 12 and 18 edge-to-edge checks, respectively. If NBit-
check is set to a higher value, the transceiver is less likely to switch to receiving mode due to noise. In the presence of a valid
transmitter signal, the bit check takes less time if NBit-check is set to a lower value. In RX polling mode, the bit-check time is not
dependent on NBit-check if no valid signal is present. Figure 9-3 shows an example where three bits are tested successfully.

As seen in Figure 9-4, the time window for the bit check is defined by two separate time limits. If the edge-to-edge time tee is
in between the lower bit-check limit TLim_min and the upper bit-check limit TLim_max, the check will be continued. If tee is smaller
than limit TLim_min or exceeds TLim_max, the bit check will be terminated and the transceiver switches to sleep mode.

ATA5428 [DATASHEET]
4841G–WIRE–03/14
For the best noise immunity, use of a low span between TLim_min and TLim_max is recommended. This is achieved using a fixed
frequency at a 50% duty cycle for the transmitter preburst: a “11111...” or a “10101...” sequence in Manchester or Bi-phase
is a good choice. A good compromise between sensitivity and susceptibility to noise regarding the expected edge-to-edge
time, tee, is a time window of ±38%; to get the maximum sensitivity the time window should be ±50% and then NBit-check ≥ 6.
Using preburst patterns that contain various edge-to-edge time periods, the bit-check limits must be programmed according
to the required span.
The bit-check limits are determined by means of the formula below:
T
Lim_min = Lim_min × TXDCLK
TLim_max = (Lim_max -1) × TXDCLK
Lim_min is defined by the bits Lim_min 0 to Lim_min 5 in control register 5.
Lim_max is defined by the bits Lim_max 0 to Lim_max 5 in control register 6.
Using the above formulas, Lim_min and Lim_max can be determined according to the required TLim_min, TLim_max and TXDCLK
The time resolution defining TLim_min and TLim_max is TXDCLK. The minimum edge-to-edge time tee is defined in the section
“Receiving Mode” on page 51. The lower limit should be set to Lim_min ≥ 10. The maximum value of the upper limit is
Lim_max = 63.
.
Figure 9-5, Figure 9-6 on page 50, and Figure 9-7 on page 50 illustrate the bit check for the bit-check limits Lim_min = 14
and Lim_max = 24. The signal processing circuits are enabled during TStartup_PLL and TStartup_Sig_Proc. The output of the
ASK/FSK demodulator (Demod_Out) is undefined during that period. When the bit check becomes active, the bit-check
counter is clocked with the cycle TXDCLK
.
Figure 9-5 shows how the bit check proceeds if the bit-check counter value CV_Lim is within the limits defined by Lim_min
and Lim_max at the occurrence of a signal edge. In Figure 9-6 on page 50 the bit check fails because the value CV_Lim is
lower than the limit Lim_min. The bit check also fails if CV_Lim reaches Lim_max. This is illustrated in Figure 9-7 on page
50.

9.1.6 Duration of the Bit Check
If no transmitter is present during the bit check, the output of the ASK/FSK demodulator delivers random signals. The bit
check is a statistical process and TBit-check varies for each check. Therefore, an average value for TBit-check is given in the
electrical characteristics. TBit-check depends on the selected bit-rate range and on TXDCLK. A higher bit-rate range causes a
lower value for TBit-check, resulting in a lower current consumption in RX polling mode.
In the presence of a valid transmitter signal, TBit-check is dependent on the frequency of that signal, fSignal, and the count of the
bits, NBit-check. A higher value for NBit-check therefore results in a longer period for TBit-check, requiring a higher value for the
transmitter pre-burst, TPreburst
.

ATA5428 [DATASHEET]
4841G–WIRE–03/14
9.1.7 Receiving Mode
If the bit check was successful for all bits specified by NBit-check, the transceiver switches to receiving mode. To activate a
connected microcontroller, the bits VSOUT_EN and CLK_ON in control register 3 are set to “1”. An interrupt is issued at pin
IRQ if the control bits T_MODE = 0 and P_MODE = 0.
If the transparent mode is active (T_MODE = 1) and the level on pin CS is low (no data transfer via the serial interface), the
RX data stream is available on pin SDO_TMDO (Figure 9-8).

Bit-check mode
Receiving mode
If the transparent mode is inactive (T_MODE = 0), the received data stream is buffered in the TX/RX data buffer (see Figure
9-9 on page 52). The TX/RX data buffer is only usable for Manchester and Bi-phase coded signals. It is always possible to
transfer the data from the data buffer via the 4-wire serial interface to a microcontroller (see Figure 8-1 on page 41).
Buffering of the data stream:
After a successful bit check, the transceiver switches from bit-check mode to receiving mode. In receiving mode the TX/RX
data buffer control logic is active and examines the incoming data stream. This is done, as in the bit check, by subsequent
time frame checks where the distance between two edges is continuously compared to a programmable time window as
illustrated in Figure 9-9 on page 52. Only two time differences between two edges in Manchester and Bi-phase coded
signals are valid (T and 2T).
The limits for T are the same as used for the bit check. They can be programmed in control register 5 and 6 (Lim_min,
Lim_max).
The limits for 2T are calculated as follows:
Lower limit of 2T:
Lim_min_2T = (Lim_min + Lim_max) – (Lim_max – Lim_min)/2
TLim_min_2T = Lim_min_2T × TXDCLK
Upper limit of 2T:
Lim_max_2T = (Lim_min + Lim_max) + (Lim_max – Lim_min)/2
TLim_max_2T = (Lim_max_2T - 1) × TXDCLK
If the result of Lim_min_2T or Lim_max_2T is not an integer value, it will be rounded up.
If the TX/RX data buffer control logic detects the start bit, the data stream is written in the TX/RX data buffer byte by byte.
The start bit is part of the first data byte and must be different from the bits of the preburst. If the preburst consists of a
sequence of “00000...”, the start bit must be a “1”. If the preburst consists of a sequence of “11111...”, the start bit must be a
“0”.
If the data stream consists of more than 16 bytes, a buffer overflow occurs and the TX/RX data buffer control logic overwrites
the bytes already stored in the TX/RX data buffer. Therefore, it is very important to ensure that the data is read in time so that
no buffer overflow occurs (see Figure 8-1 on page 41). There is a counter that indicates the number of received bytes in the
TX/RX data buffer (see section “Transceiver Configuration” on page 41). If a byte is transferred to the microcontroller, the
counter is decremented; if a byte is received, the counter is incremented. The counter value is available via the 4-wire serial
interface. An interrupt is issued if the counter (while counting up) reaches the value defined by the control bits IR0 and IR1 in
control register 1.

Readable via 4-wire serial interface
If the TX/RX data buffer control logic detects a bit error, an interrupt is issued and the transceiver is set back to the start-up
mode (see Figure 9-1 on page 46, Figure 9-2 on page 47 and Figure 9-10).
Bit error:
a) tee < TLim_min or TLim_max < tee < TLim_min_2T or tee > TLim_max_2T
b) Logical error (no edge detected in the bit center)
Note:
The byte consisting of the bit error will not be stored in the TX/RX data buffer. Thus, it is not available via the 4-
wire serial interface.
Writing the control register 1, 4, 5 or 6 during receiving mode resets the TX/RX data buffer control logic and the counter
which indicates the number of received bytes. If the bits OPM0 and OPM1 are still “1” after writing to a control register, the
transceiver changes to the start-up mode (start-up signal processing).

9.1.8 Recommended Lim_min and Lim_max for Maximum Sensitivity
The sensitivity measurements in the section “Low-IF Receiver” in Table 3-3 on page 11 and Table 3-4 on page 11 have been
done with the Lim_min and Lim_max values according to Table 9-3. These values are optimized for maximum sensitivity.
Note that since these limits are optimized for sensitivity, the number of checked bits, NBit-check, has to be at least 6 to prevent
the circuit from waking up to often in polling mode due to noise.

TX Operation
The transceiver is set to TX operation by using the bits OPM0 and OPM1 in the control register 1.
Table 9-4. Control Register 1
OPM1
OPM0
Function
TX mode
0
1
Before activating TX mode, the TX parameters (bit rate, modulation scheme, etc.) must be selected as illustrated in Figure 9-
11 on page 54. The bit rate depends on Baud 0 and Baud 1 in control register 6, Lim_min0 to Lim_min5 in control register 5
and XLIM in control register 4 (see section “Control Register” on page 31). The modulation is selected with ASK/_NFSK in
control register 4. The FSK frequency deviation is fixed to about ±16kHz. If P_Mode is set to “1”, the Manchester modulator
is disabled and pattern mode is active (NRZ, see Table 9-5 on page 56).
After the transceiver is set to TX mode, the start-up mode is active and the PLL is enabled. If the PLL is locked, the TX mode
is active.
If the transceiver is in start-up or TX mode, the TX/RX data buffer can be loaded via the 4-wire serial interface. After the first
byte is in the buffer and the TX mode is active, the transceiver starts transmitting automatically (beginning with the MSB).
While transmitting it is always possible to load new data in the TX/RX data buffer. To prevent a buffer overflow or
interruptions during transmitting, the user must ensure that data is loaded at the same speed as it is transmitted.
There is a counter that indicates the number of bytes to be transmitted (see section “Transceiver Configuration” on page 41).
If a byte is loaded, the counter is incremented, if a byte is transmitted, the counter is decremented. The counter value is
available via the 4-wire serial interface. An IRQ is issued if the counter (while counting down) reaches the value defined by
the control bits IR0 and IR1 in control register 1.
Note:
Writing to the control register 1, 4, 5 or 6 during TX mode resets the TX/RX data buffer and the counter which
indicates the number of bytes to be transmitted.
If T_Mode in control register 1 is set to “1”, the transceiver is in TX transparent mode. In this mode the TX/RX data buffer is
disabled and the TX data stream must be applied on pin SDI_TMDI. Figure 9-11 on page 54 illustrates the flow chart of the
TX transparent mode.

Interrupts
Via pin IRQ, the transceiver signals different operating conditions to a connected microcontroller. If a specific operating
condition occurs, pin IRQ is set to high.
If an interrupt occurs, it is recommended to delete the interrupt immediately by reading the status register, so that a further
potential interrupt doesn’t get lost. If the Interrupt pin doesn’t switch to low by reading the status register, the interrupt was
triggered by the RX/TX data buffer. In this case read or write the RX/TX data buffer according to Table 9-6.
