The gain figure is determined by the external matching networks situated ahead of LNA and between the LNA output LNO (Pin 6) and the Mixer Inputs MI and MIX (Pins 8 and 9). The noise figure of the LNA is approximately 3dB, the current consumption is 500A. The gain can be reduced by approximately 18dB. The switching point of this AGC action can be determined externally by applying a threshold voltage at the THRES pin (Pin 23). This voltage is compared internally with the received signal (RSSI) level generated by the limiter circuitry. In case that the RSSI level is higher than the threshold voltage the LNA gain is reduced and vice versa. The threshold voltage can be generated by attaching a voltage divider between the 3VOUT pin (Pin 24) which provides a temperature stable 3V output generated from the internal bandgap voltage and the THRES pin as described in Section 4.1. The time constant of the AGC action can be deter- Wireless Components 3-9 Specification, May 2001 TDA 5211 Functional Description mined by connecting a capacitor to the TAGC pin (Pin 4) and should be chosen along with the appropriate threshold voltage according to the intended operating case and interference scenario to be expected during operation. The optimum choice of AGC time constant and the threshold voltage is described in Section 4.1. 3.4.2 Mixer The Double Balanced Mixer downconverts the input frequency (RF) in the range of 310-350MHz to the intermediate frequency (IF) at 10.7MHz with a voltage gain of approximately 21dB by utilising either high- or low-side injection of the local oscillator signal. In case the mixer is interfaced only single-ended, the unused mixer input has to be tied to ground via a capacitor. The mixer is followed by a low pass filter with a corner frequency of 20MHz in order to suppress RF signals to appear at the IF output (IFO pin). The IF output is internally consisting of an emitter follower that has a source impedance of approximately 330 to facilitate interfacing the pin directly to a standard 10.7MHz ceramic filter without additional matching circuitry. 3.4.3 PLL Synthesizer The Phase Locked Loop synthesizer consists of a VCO, an asynchronous divider chain, a phase detector with charge pump and a loop filter and is fully implemented on-chip. The VCO is including spiral inductors and varactor diodes. The FSEL pin (Pin11) has to be left open. The tuning range of the VCO was designed to guarantee over production spread and the specified temperature range a receive frequency range between 310 and 350MHz depending on whether high- or low-side injection of the local oscillator is used. The oscillator signal is fed both to the synthesiser divider chain and to a divider that is dividing the signal by 2 before it is applied to the downconverting mixer. Local oscillator high side injection has to be used for receive frequencies between approximately 310 and 330 MHz, low side injection for receive frequencies between 330 and 350MHz - see also Section 4.4.. 3.4.4 Crystal Oscillator The on-chip crystal oscillator circuitry allows for utilisation of quartzes both in the 5 and 10MHz range as the overall division ratio of the PLL can be switched between 32 and 64 via the CSEL (Pin 16 ) pin according to the following table. Table 3-2 CSEL Pin Operating States Wireless Components CSEL Crystal Frequency Open 5.xx MHz Shorted to ground 10.xx MHz 3 - 10 Specification, May 2001 TDA 5211 Functional Description The calculation of the value of the necessary quartz load capacitance is shown in Section 4.3, the quartz frequency calculation is explained in Section 4.4. 3.4.5 Limiter The Limiter is an AC coupled multistage amplifier with a cumulative gain of approximately 80 dB that has a bandpass-characteristic centred around 10.7 MHz. It has a typical input impedance of 330 to allow for easy interfacing to a 10.7 MHz ceramic IF filter. The limiter circuit also acts as a Receive Signal Strength Indicator (RSSI) generator which produces a DC voltage that is directly proportional to the input signal level as can be seen in Figure 4-2. This signal is used to demodulate ASK-modulated receive signals in the subsequent baseband circuitry. The RSSI output is applied to the modulation format switch, to the Peak Detector input and to the AGC circuitry. In order to demodulate ASK signals the MSEL pin has to be left open as described in the next chapter. 3.4.6 FSK Demodulator To demodulate frequency shift keyed (FSK) signals a PLL circuit is used that is contained fully on chip. The Limiter output differential signal is fed to the linear phase detector as is the output of the 10.7 MHz center frequency VCO. The demodulator gain is typically 140V/kHz. The passive loop filter output that is comprised fully on chip is fed to both the VCO and the modulation format switch described in more detail below. This signal is representing the demodulated signal with low frequencies applied to the demodulator demodulated to logic ones and high frequencies demodulated to logic zeroes. However this is only valid in case the local oscillator is low-side injected to the mixer which is applicable to receive frequencies above 330MHz (e.g. 345MHz). In case of receive frequencies below 330MHz (e.g.315MHz) high frequencies are demodulated as logical ones due to a sign inversion in the downconversion mixing process. See also Section 4.4. The modulation format switch is actually a switchable amplifier with an AC gain of 11 that is controlled by the MSEL pin (Pin 15) as shown in the following table. This gain was chosen to facilitate detection in the subsequent circuits. The DC gain is 1 in order not to saturate the subsequent Data Filter wih the DC offset produced by the demodulator in case of large frequency offsets of the IF signal. The resulting frequency characteristic and details on the principle of operation of the switch are described in Section 4.6. Table 3-3 MSEL Pin Operating States Wireless Components MSEL Modulation Format Open ASK Shorted to ground FSK 3 - 11 Specification, May 2001 TDA 5211 Functional Description The demodulator circuit is switched off in case of reception of ASK signals. 3.4.7 Data Filter The data filter comprises an OP-Amp with a bandwidth of 100kHz used as a voltage follower and two 100k on-chip resistors. Along with two external capacitors a 2nd order Sallen-Key low pass filter is formed. The selection of the capacitor values is described in Section 4.2. 3.4.8 Data Slicer The data slicer is a fast comparator with a bandwidth of 100 kHz. This allows for a maximum receive data rate of up to 100kBaud. The maximum achievable data rate also depends on the IF Filter bandwidth and the local oscillator tolerance values. Both inputs are accessible. The output delivers a digital data signal (CMOS-like levels) for sbsequent circuits. The self-adjusting threshold on pin 20 its generated by RC-term or peak detector depending on the baseband coding scheme. The data slicer threshold generation alternatives are described in more detail in Section 4.5. 3.4.9 Peak Detector The peak detector generates a DC voltage which is proportional to the peak value of the receive data signal. An external RC network is necessary. The input is connected to the output of the RSSI-output of the Limiter, the output is connected to the PDO pin (Pin 26 ). This output can be used as an indicator for the received signal strength to use in wake-up circuits and as a reference for the data slicer in ASK mode. The output current is typically 950A, the discharge current is lower than 2A. Note that the RSSI level is also output in case of FSK mode. 3.4.10 Bandgap Reference Circuitry A Bandgap Reference Circuit provides a temperature stable reference voltage for the device. A power down mode is available to switch off all subcircuits which is controlled by the PWDN pin (Pin 27) as shown in the following table. The supply current drawn in this case is typically 50nA.

As shown in the following figure the threshold voltage can have any value between approximately 0.8 and 2.8V to provide a switching point within the receive signal dynamic range. This voltage Uthres is applied to the THRES pin (Pin 23) The threshold voltage can be generated by attaching a voltage divider between the 3VOUT pin (Pin 24) which provides a temperature stable 3V output generated from the internal bandgap voltage and the THRES pin. If the RSSI level generated by the Limiter is higher than Uthres, the OTA generates a positive current Iload. This yields a voltage rise on the TAGC pin (Pin 4). Otherwise, the OTA generates a negative current. These currents do not have the same values in order to achieve a fast-attack and slow-release action of the AGC and are used to charge an external capacitor which finally generates the LNA gain control voltage.

The determination of the optimum point is described in the accompanying Application Note, a threshold voltage level of 1.8V is apparently a viable choice. It should be noted that the output of the 3VOUT pin is capable of driving up to 50A, but that the THRES pin input current is only in the region of 40nA. As the current drawn out of the 3VOUT pin is directly related to the receiver power consumption, the power divider resistors should have high impedance values. The sum of R1 and R2 has to be 600k in order to yield 3V at the 3VOUT pin. R1 can thus be chosen as 240k, R2 as 360k to yield an overall 3VOUT output current of 5A1 and a threshold voltage of 1.8V Note: If the LNA gain shall be kept in either high or low gain mode this has to be accomplished by tying the THRES pin to a fixed voltage. In order to achieve high gain mode operation, a voltage higher than 2.8V shall be applied to the THRES pin, such as a short to the 3VOLT pin. In order to achieve low gain mode operation a voltage lower than 0.7V shall be applied to the THRES, such as a short to ground. As stated above the capacitor connected to the TAGC pin is generating the gain control voltage of the LNA due to the charging and discharging currents of the OTA and thus is also responsible for the AGC time constant. As the charging and discharging currents are not equal two different time constants will result. The time constant corresponding to the charging process of the capacitor shall be chosen according to the data rate. According to measurements performed at Infineon the capacitor value should be greater than 47nF. 1. note the 20k resistor in series with the 3.1V internal voltage source Wireless Components 4-3 Specification, May 2001 TDA 5211 Applications 4.2 Data Filter Design Utilising the on-board voltage follower and the two 100k on-chip resistors a 2nd order Sallen-Key low pass data filter can be constructed by adding 2 external capacitors between pins 19 (SLP) and 22 (FFB) and to pin 21 (OPP) as depicted in the following figure and described in the following formulas1.

Example: 10.18 MHz: CL = 12 pF XL=870 CS = 7.2 pF This value may be obtained by putting two capacitors in series to the quartz, such as 18pF and 22pF in the 5.1MHz case and 18pF and 12pF in the 10.2MHz case. Wireless Components 4-5 Specification, May 2001 TDA 5211 Applications 4.4 Quartz Frequency Calculation As described in Section 3.4.3 the operating range of the on-chip VCO is wide enough to guarantee a receive frequency range between 310 and 350MHz. The VCO signal is divided by 2 before applied to the mixer . This local oscillator signal can be used to downconvert the RF signals both with high- or low-side injection at the mixer. High-side injection of the local oscillator has to be used for receive frequencies between 310 and 330 MHz. In this case the local oscillator frequency is calculated by adding the IF frequency (10.7 MHz) to the RF frequency. In this case the higher frequency of a FSK-modulated signal is demodulated as a logical one (high). Low-side injection has to be used for receive frequencies between 330 and 350 MHz. The local oscillator frequency is calculated by subtracting the IF frequency (10.7 MHz) from the RF frequency then. Please note that in this case sign-inversion occurs and the higher frequency of a FSK-modulated signal is demodulated as a logical zero (low). The overall division ratios in the PLL are 64 or 32 depending on whether the CSEL-pin is left open or tied to ground. Therefore the quartz frequency may be calculated by using the following formula: QU = (RF 10.7) / r with RF receive frequency LO local oscillator (PLL) frequency (RF 10.7) QU quartz oscillator frequency r ratio of local oscillator (PLL) frequency and quartz frequency as shown in the subsequent table Table 4-1 PLL Division Ratio Dependence on States of CSEL CSEL Ratio r = (fLO/fQU) open 64 GND 32 This yields the following examples: CSEL tied to GND: f QU = (315 MHz + 10 .7 MHz ) / 32 = 10 .1781 MHz f QU = (345 MHz - 10 .7 MHz ) / 32 = 10 .4469 MHz CSEL open: f QU = (315 MHz + 10 .7 MHz ) / 64 = 5 .0891 MHz f QU = (345 MHz - 10 .7 MHz ) / 64 = 5 .2234 MHz Wireless Components 4-6 Specification, May 2001 TDA 5211 Applications 4.5 Data Slicer Threshold Generation The threshold of the data slicer can be generated using an external R-C integrator as shown in Figure 4-5. The cut-off frequency of the R-C integrator has to be lower than the lowest frequency appearing in the data signal. In order to keep distortion low, the minimum value for R is 20k.

This switch is actually consisting of 2 operational amplifiers that are having a gain of 1 in case of the ASK amplifier and a gain of 11 in case of the FSK amplifier in order to achieve an appropriate demodulation gain characteristic. In order to compensate for the DC-offset generated especially in case of the FSK PLL demodulator there is a feedback connection between the threshold voltage of the bit slicer comparator (Pin 20) to the negative input of the FSK switch amplifier. This is shown in the following figure. 15 MSEL RSSI (ASK signal) ASK/FSK Switch Data Filter FSK PLL Demodulator R1=100k + ASK DATA Out R2=100k + v=1 + FSK - 25 - AC 0.18 mV/kHz Comp R3=300k DC typ. 2 V 1.5 V......2.5 V R4=30k FFB 22 21 OPP SLP 19 20 SLN ASK mode : v=1 FSK mode : v=11 C1 C2 R C ask_fsk_datapath.WMF Figure 4-7 4.6.1 ASK/FSK mode datapath FSK Mode The FSK datapath has a bandpass characterisitc due to the feedback shown above (highpass) and the data filter (lowpass). The lower cutoff frequency f2 is determined by the external RC-combination. The upper cutoff frequency f3 is determined by the data filter bandwidth. The demodulation gain of the FSK PLL demodulator is 140V/kHz. This gain is increased by the gain v of the FSK switch, which is 11. Therefore the resulting dynamic gain of this circuit is 1.5mV/kHz within the bandpass. The gain for the DC content of FSK signal remains at 140V/kHz. The cutoff frequencies of the bandpass have to be chosen such that the spectrum of the data signal is influenced in an acceptable amount. In case that the user data is containing long sequences of logical zeroes the effect of the drift-off of the bit slicer threshold voltage can be lowered if the offset voltage inherent at the negative input of the slicer comparator (Pin20) is used. The comparator has no hysteresis built in. Wireless Components 4-8 Specification, May 2001 TDA 5211 Applications This offset voltage is generated by the bias current of the negative input of the comparator (i.e. 20nA) running over the external resistor R. This voltage raises the voltage appearing at pin 20 (e.g. 1mV with R = 100k). In order to obtain benefit of this asymmetrical offset for the demodulation of long zeros the lower of the two FSK frequencies should be chosen in the transmitter as the zerosymbol frequency. In the following figure the shape of the above mentioned bandpass is shown. gain (pin19) v v-3dB 20dB/dec -40dB/dec 3dB 0dB f DC f1 f2 0.18mV/kHz f3 2mV/kHz frequenzgang.WMF Figure 4-8 Frequency characterstic in case of FSK mode The cutoff frequencies are calculated with the following formulas: f1 = 1 R 330k C 2 R + 330k f 2 = v f1 = 11 f1 f 3 = f 3dB f3 is the 3dB cutoff frequency of the data filter - see Section 4.2.

This results also from the fact that the choice of the value for R connected between the SLP and SLN pins (pins 19 and 20) is limited by the 330k resistor appearing in parallel to R as can be seen in Figure 4-7. Apart from this a resistor value of 100k leads to a voltage offset of 1mv at the comparator input as described in Section 4.6.1. The resulting startup time constant 1 can be calculated with: 1 = (R // 330k) * C In case R is chosen to be 100k and C is chosen as 47nF this leads to 1 = (100k // 330k) * 47nF = 77k * 47nF = 3.6ms When the device is turned on this time constant dominates the time necessary for the device to be able to demodulate data properly. In the powerdown mode the capacitor is only discharged by leakage currents. In order to reduce the turn-on time in the presence of large values of C a precharge circuit was included in the TDA5211 as shown in the following figure.

This voltage is limited to 2.5V. As soon as these voltages are equal or the duration T2 is exceeded the precharge circuit is disabled. 2 is the time constant of the charging process of C which can be calculated as 2 20k * C2 as the sum of R1 and R2 is sufficiently large and thus can be neglected. T2 can then be calculated according to the following formula: 1 T 2 = 2 ln 1 - 2 . 4V 3V (c) * 2 1 . 6 The voltage transient during the charging of C2 is shown in the following figure: U2 3V 2.4V 2 T2 e-fkt1.WMF Figure 4-11 Voltage appearing on C2 during precharging process The voltage appearing on the capacitor C connected to pin 20 is shown in the following figure. It can be seen that due to the fact that it is charged by a constant current source it exhibits is a linear increase in voltage which is limited to USmax = 2.5V which is also the approximate operating point of the data filter input. The time constant appearing in this case can be denoted as T3, which can be calculated with USmax C 2.5V T3 = ----------------------- = ----------------- C 220A 220A Wireless Components 4 - 12 Specification, May 2001 TDA 5211 Applications Uc Us T3 e-Fkt2.WMF Figure 4-12 Voltage transient on capacitor C attached to pin 20 As an example the choice of C2 = 22nF and C = 47nF yields 2 = 0.44ms T2 = 0.71ms T3 = 0.53ms This means that in this case the inrush current could flow for a duration of 0.64ms but stops already after 0.49ms when the USmax limit has been reached. T3 should always be chosen to be shorter than T2. It has to be noted finally that during the turn-on duration T2 the overall device power consumption is increased by the 220A needed to charge C. The precharge circuit may be disabled if C2 is not equipped. This yields a T2 close to zero. Note that the sum of R4 and R5 has to be 600k in order to produce 3V at the THRES pin as this voltage is internally used also as the reference for the FSK demodulator.
