C | Page 2 of 41 Data Sheet ADF7025 GENERAL DESCRIPTION The ADF7025 is a low power, highly integrated FSK transceiver. It is designed for operation in the license-free ISM bands of 433 MHz, 863 MHz to 870 MHz, and 902 MHz to 928 MHz. The ADF7025 can be used for applications operating under the European ETSI EN300-220 or the North American FCC (Part 15) regulatory standards. The ADF7025 is intended for wideband, high data rate applications with deviation frequencies from 100 kHz to 750 kHz and data rates from 9.6 kbps to 384 kbps. A complete transceiver can be built using a small number of external discrete components, making the ADF7025 very suitable for price-sensitive and area-sensitive applications. The transmit section contains a VCO and low noise Fractional-N PLL with output resolution of <1 ppm. The VCO operates at twice the fundamental frequency to reduce spurious emissions and frequency pulling problems. The transmitter output power is programmable in 0.3 dB steps from -16 dBm to +13 dBm. The transceiver RF frequency and modulation are programmable using a simple 3-wire interface. The device operates with a power supply range of 2.3 V to 3.6 V and can be powered down when not in use. A zero-IF architecture is used in the receiver, minimizing power consumption and the external component count, while avoiding the need for image rejection. The baseband filter (low-pass) has programmable bandwidths of 300 kHz, 450 kHz, and 600 kHz. A high-pass pole at ~60 kHz eliminates the problem of dc offsets that is characteristic of zero-IF architecture. The ADF7025 supports a wide variety of programmable features, including Rx linearity, sensitivity, and filter bandwidth, allowing the user to trade off receiver sensitivity and selectivity against current consumption, depending on the application. An on-chip ADC provides readback of an integrated temperature sensor, an external analog input, the battery voltage, or the RSSI signal, which provides savings on an ADC in some applications. The temperature sensor is accurate to 10C over the full operating temperature range of -40C to +85C. This accuracy can be improved by doing a 1-point calibration at room temperature and storing the result in memory. Rev.

Analog-to-Digital Converter Input. The internal 7-bit ADC can be accessed through this pin. Full scale is 0 V to 1.9 V. Readback is made using the SREAD pin. Regulator Voltage for Digital Block. A 100 nF in parallel with a 5.1 pF capacitor should be placed between this pin and ground for regulator stability and noise rejection. Voltage Supply for Digital Block. A decoupling capacitor of 10 nF should be placed as close as possible to this pin. Bidirectional Pin. In output mode (interrupt mode), the ADF7025 asserts the INT/LOCK pin when it has found a match for the preamble sequence. In input mode (lock mode), the microcontroller can be used to lock the demodulator threshold when a valid preamble has been detected. Once the threshold is locked, NRZ data can be reliably received. In this mode, a demodulator lock can be asserted with minimum delay. Transmit Data Input/Received Data Output. This is a digital pin, and normal CMOS levels apply. In receive mode, the pin outputs the synchronized data clock. The positive clock edge is matched to the center of the received data. A Divided-Down Version of the Crystal Reference with Output Driver. The digital clock output can be used to drive several other CMOS inputs, such as a microcontroller clock. The output has a 50:50 mark-space ratio. This pin provides the LOCK_DETECT signal, which is used to determine if the PLL is locked to the correct frequency. Other signals include REGULATOR_READY, which is an indicator of the status of the serial interface regulator. The reference crystal should be connected between this pin and OSC1. A TCXO reference can be used by driving this pin with CMOS levels and disabling the crystal oscillator. The reference crystal should be connected between this pin and OSC2.

C | Page 14 of 41 Data Sheet ADF7025 FREQUENCY SYNTHESIZER REFERENCE INPUT SECTION R Counter The on-board crystal oscillator circuitry (see Figure 19) can use an inexpensive quartz crystal as the PLL reference. The oscillator circuit is enabled by setting R1_DB12 high. It is enabled by default on power-up and is disabled by bringing CE low. Errors in the crystal can be corrected by adjusting the Fractional-N value (see the N Counter section). A single-ended reference (TCXO, CXO) can also be used. The CMOS levels should be applied to OSC2 with R1_DB12 set low. The 3-bit R counter divides the reference input frequency by an integer from 1 to 7. The divided-down signal is presented as the reference clock to the phase frequency detector (PFD). The divide ratio is set in Register 1. Maximizing the PFD frequency reduces the N value. This reduces the noise multiplied at a rate of 20 log(N) to the output, as well as reducing occurrences of spurious components. The R register defaults to R = 1 on power-up. PFD [Hz] = XTAL/R MUXOUT and Lock Detect OSC2 CP2 05542-019 OSC1 The MUXOUT pin allows the user to access various digital points in the ADF7025. The state of MUXOUT is controlled by Bits R0_DB[29:31]. CP1 Regulator Ready Figure 19. Oscillator Circuit on the ADF7025 Two parallel resonant capacitors are required for oscillation at the correct frequency; their values are dependent on the crystal specification. They should be chosen so that the series value of capacitance added to the PCB track capacitance adds up to the load capacitance of the crystal, usually 20 pF. Track capacitance values vary from 2 pF to 5 pF, depending on board layout. Where possible, choose capacitors that have a very low temperature coefficient to ensure stable frequency operation over all conditions. Regulator ready is the default setting on MUXOUT after the transceiver has been powered up. The power-up time of the regulator is typically 50 s. Because the serial interface is powered from the regulator, the regulator must be at its nominal voltage before the ADF7025 can be programmed. The status of the regulator can be monitored at MUXOUT. When the regulator ready signal on MUXOUT is high, programming of the ADF7025 can begin. DVDD CLKOUT Divider and Buffer The CLKOUT circuit takes the reference clock signal from the oscillator section, shown in Figure 20, and supplies a divided-down 50:50 mark-space signal to the CLKOUT pin. An even divide from 2 to 30 is available. This divide number is set in R1_DB[8:11]. On power-up, the CLKOUT defaults to divide-by-8.

The output buffer can drive up to a 20 pF load with a 10% rise time at 4.8 MHz. Faster edges can result in some spurious feedthrough to the output. A small series resistor (50 ) can be used to slow the clock edges to reduce these spurs at FCLK. Digital lock detect is active high. The lock detect circuit is located at the PFD. When the phase error on five consecutive cycles is less than 15 ns, lock detect is set high. Lock detect remains high until a 25 ns phase error is detected at the PFD. Because no external components are needed for digital lock detect, it is more widely used than analog lock detect. Rev. C | Page 15 of 41 05542-021 DVDD ADF7025 Data Sheet Analog Lock Detect This N-channel open-drain lock detect should be operated with an external pull-up resistor of 10 k nominal. When a lock has been detected, this output is high with narrow low-going pulses. The fractional divide value gives very fine resolution at the output, where the output frequency of the PLL is calculated as FOUT Fractional N XTAL (Integer N ) 215 R REFERENCE IN Voltage Regulators 4R PFD/ CHARGE PUMP VCO The ADF7025 contains four regulators to supply stable voltages to the part. The nominal regulator voltage is 2.3 V. Each regulator should have a 100 nF capacitor connected between VREG and GND. When CE is high, the regulators and other associated circuitry are powered on, drawing a total supply current of 2 mA. Bringing the chip-enable pin low disables the regulators, reduces the supply current to less than 1 A, and erases all values held in the registers. The serial interface operates from a regulator supply; therefore, to write to the part, the user must have CE high and the regulator voltage must be stabilized. Regulator status (VREG4) can be monitored using the regulator ready signal from MUXOUT. The combination of the Integer-N (maximum = 255) and the Fractional-N (maximum = 16383/16384) gives a maximum N divider of 255 + 1. Therefore, the minimum usable PFD is Loop Filter PDFMIN [Hz] = Maximum Required Output Frequency/(255 + 1) The loop filter integrates the current pulses from the charge pump to form a voltage that tunes the output of the VCO to the desired frequency. It also attenuates spurious levels generated by the PLL. A typical loop filter design is shown in Figure 22. FRACTIONAL-N INTEGER-N 05542-023 THIRD-ORDER - MODULATOR Figure 23. Fractional-N PLL For example, when operating in the European 868 MHz to 870 MHz band, PFDMIN equals 3.4 MHz. Voltage Controlled Oscillator To minimize spurious emissions, the on-chip VCO operates from 1732 MHz to 1856 MHz. The VCO signal is then divided by 2 to give the required frequency for the transmitter and the required LO frequency for the receiver. VCO 05542-022 CHARGE PUMP OUT 4N Figure 22. Typical Loop Filter Configuration In general, a loop filter bandwidth (LBW) of between the data rate and twice the data rate is recommended. Widening the LBW excessively reduces the time spent jumping between frequencies, but it can cause insufficient spurious attenuation. Narrow-loop bandwidths can result in the loop taking long periods of time to attain lock. For the ADF7025 in receive mode, the loop filter bandwidth affects the close-in blocking performance. The narrower the bandwidth of the loop filter, the greater the close-in interference resilience of the receiver. Careful design of the loop filter is critical to obtaining accurate FSK modulation. The free design tool ADIsimPLL can be used to design loop filters for the ADF7025. N Counter The feedback divider in the ADF7025 PLL consists of an 8-bit integer counter and a 14-bit - Fractional-N divider. The integer counter is the standard pulse-swallow type common in PLLs. This sets the minimum integer divide value to 31. The VCO should be re-centered, depending on the required frequency of operation, by programming the VCO adjust bits R1_DB[20:21]. For operation in the 862 MHz to 870 MHz band, it is recommended to use a VCO bias of at least Setting 10 and to set the VCO adjust bit to Setting 0. For operation in the 902 MHz to 928 MHz band, it is recommended to use a VCO bias of at least Setting 12 and to set the VCO adjust bit to Setting 3. This is to ensure correct operation under all conditions. The VCO is enabled as part of the PLL by the PLL-enable bit, R0_DB28. An additional frequency divide-by-2 is included to allow operation in the lower 431 MHz to 464 MHz bands. To enable operation in these bands, R1_DB13 should be set to 1. The VCO needs an external 22 nF between the VCO and the regulator to reduce internal noise. Rev. C | Page 16 of 41 Data Sheet ADF7025 VCO Bias Current VCO bias current can be adjusted using Bit R1_DB19 to Bit R1_DB16. To ensure VCO oscillation under all conditions, the minimum bias current setting is Setting 12 (0xC). 431 MHz to 464 MHz Operation For operation in the 431 MHz to 464 MHz band, the frequency divide-by-2 has to be enabled. It is enabled by R1_DB13. Because this divide is external to the synthesizer loop, the feedback divider number (N + F) should be programmed to a value twice the desired RF output frequency. VCO BIAS R1_DB (16:19) LOOP FILTER TO PA AND N DIVIDER VCO /2 /2 220F 05542-024 CVCO PIN Figure 24. Voltage Controlled Oscillator The Fractional-N PLL allows the selection of any channel within 862 MHz to 928 MHz (and 431 MHz to 464 MHz using divide-by-2) to a resolution of <300 Hz. This also facilitates frequency-hopping systems. Careful selection of the RF transmit channels must be made to achieve best spurious performance. The architecture of fractional-N results in some level of the nearest integer channel moving through the loop to the RF output. These beat-note spurs are not attenuated by the loop, if the desired RF channel and the nearest integer channel are separated by a frequency of less than the LBW. The occurrence of beat-note spurs is rare, because the integer frequencies are at multiples of the reference, which is typically >10 MHz. MUX VCO SELECT BIT CHOOSING CHANNELS FOR BEST SYSTEM PERFORMANCE Beat-note spurs can be significantly reduced in amplitude by avoiding very small or very large values in the fractional register, using the frequency doubler. By having a channel 1 MHz away from an integer frequency, a 100 kHz loop filter can reduce the level to less than -45 dBc. Rev. C | Page 17 of 41 ADF7025 Data Sheet TRANSMITTER RF OUTPUT STAGE MODULATION SCHEME The PA of the ADF7025 is based on a single-ended, controlled current, open-drain amplifier that has been designed to deliver up to 13 dBm into a 50 load at a maximum frequency of 928 MHz. Frequency Shift Keying (FSK) The PA output current and, consequently, the output power are programmable over a wide range. The PA configuration is shown in Figure 25. The output power is independent of the state of the DATA I/O pin. The output power is set using Bits R2_DB[9:14]. R2_DB(30:31) 2 IDAC RFOUT 6 Frequency shift keying is implemented by setting the N value for the center frequency and then toggling this with the TxData line.

PA Configuration The PA is equipped with overvoltage protection, which makes it robust in severe mismatch conditions. Depending on the application, one can design a matching network for the PA to exhibit optimum efficiency at the desired radiated output power level for a wide range of different antennas, such as loop or monopole antennas. See the LNA/PA Matching section for details. PA Bias Currents Control Bits R2_DB [30:31] facilitate an adjustment of the PA bias current to further extend the output power control range, if necessary. If this feature is not required, the default value of 7 A is recommended. The output stage is powered down by resetting Bit R2_DB4. -FDEV THIRD-ORDER - MODULATOR +FDEV TxDATA FRACTIONAL-N INTEGER-N 05542-026 + Figure 26. FSK Implementation Modulation Index The choice of deviation frequency for a given data rate is critical to get optimum sensitivity performance from the ADF7025. The modulation index (MI) of an FSK modulated signal is defined as MI 2 Frequency Deviation [Hz] Data Rate [bps] It is recommended to use a MI > 1 for the ADF7025. The variation of receiver sensitivity with modulation index, for various data rates, can be observed in Figure 16, Figure 17, and Figure 18. Rev. C | Page 18 of 41 Data Sheet ADF7025 RECEIVER RF FRONT END The ADF7025 is based on a fully integrated, zero-IF receiver architecture. The zero-IF architecture minimizes power consumption and the external component count while avoiding the need for image rejection. Figure 27 shows the structure of the receiver front end. The numerous programming options allow users to trade off sensitivity, linearity, and current consumption against each other in the way best suitable for their applications. To achieve a high level of resilience against spurious reception, the LNA features a differential input. Switch SW2 shorts the LNA input when transmit mode is selected (R0_DB27 = 0). This feature facilitates the design of a combined LNA/PA matching network, avoiding the need for an external Rx/Tx switch. See the LNA/PA Matching section for details on the design of the matching network.

ADF7025 RF Front End The LNA is followed by a quadrature downconversion mixer, which converts the RF signal direct to baseband. The output frequency of the synthesizer must be programmed to the value equal to the center frequency of the received channel. Based on the specific sensitivity and linearity requirements of the application, it is recommended to adjust control bits LNA_MODE (R6_DB15) and MIXER_LINEARITY (R6_DB18). The gain of the LNA is configured by the LNA_GAIN field, R9_DB[20:21] and can be set by either the user or the automatic gain control (AGC) logic. Filter Settings/Calibration Out-of-band interference is rejected by means of a fifth-order, lowpass filter (LPF). The bandwidth of the filter can be programmed to be 300 kHz, 450 kHz, or 600 kHz by means of Control Bits R1_DB[22:23] and should be chosen as a compromise between interference rejection and attenuation of the desired signal. A high-pass filter is also included as part of the low-pass filter to prevent against dc offset problems. The bandwidth of this filter is ~60 kHz. To avoid significant loss of FSK modulated signal in the filter, the frequency deviation needs to be significantly larger than this pole (refer to the Modulation Index section). The minimum allowable frequency deviation is 100 kHz. To compensate for manufacturing tolerances, the LPF should be calibrated once after power-up. The LPF calibration logic requires that the LPF divider in Bits R6_DB[20:28] be set depending on the crystal frequency. Once initiated by setting Bit R6_DB19, the calibration is performed automatically without any user intervention. The calibration time is 200 s, during which the ADF7025 should not be accessed. It is important not to initiate the calibration cycle before the crystal oscillator has fully settled. If the AGC loop is disabled, the gain of LPF can be set to three levels using the FILTER_GAIN field, R9_DB[20:21]. The filter gain is adjusted automatically, if the AGC loop is enabled. The LNA has two basic operating modes: high gain/low noise mode and low gain/low power mode. To switch between the two modes, use the LNA_MODE bit, R6_DB15. The mixer is also configurable between a low current and an enhanced linearity mode using the MIXER_LINEARITY bit, R6_DB18. Rev. C | Page 19 of 41 ADF7025 Data Sheet RSSI Formula (Converting to dBm) RSSI/AGC The RSSI is implemented as a successive compression log amp following the baseband channel filtering. The log amp achieves 3 dB log linearity. It also doubles as a limiter to convert the signalto-digital levels for the FSK demodulator. Offset correction is achieved using a switched capacitor integrator in feedback around the log amp. This uses the BB offset clock divide. The RSSI level is converted for user readback and digitally controlled AGC by an 80-level (7-bit) flash ADC. This level can be converted to input power in dBm. INPUT_POWER [dBm] = -98 dBm + (READBACK_CODE + GAIN_MODE_CORRECTION) x 0.5 where: READBACK_CODE is given by Bit RV7 to Bit RV1 in the readback register (see the Readback Format section). GAIN_MODE_CORRECTION is given by the values in Table 5. LNA gain and filter gain (LG2/LG1, FG2/FG1) are also obtained from the readback register.

These numbers are for an unmodulated tone. For a modulated signal, the RSSI readback may have to be adjusted to get the required accuracy. An additional factor should also be introduced to account for losses in the front-end matching network/antenna. AGC Information FSK DEMODULATORS ON THE ADF7025 In Register 9, the user should select automatic gain control by selecting Auto In R9_DB18 and Auto In R9_DB19. The user should then program AGC Low Threshold R9_DB[4:10] and AGC High Threshold R9_DB[11:17]. The default values for the low and high thresholds are 30 and 70, respectively; however, these are not the optimum settings for all operating conditions. The recommended values for the low and high thresholds are 15 and 79, respectively. In the AGC 2 register (Register 10), the user should program the AGC delay to be long enough to allow the loop to settle. The default/recommended value is 10. The two FSK demodulators on the ADF7025 are AGC _ WAIT _ TIME AGC _ DELAY SEQ _ CLK _ DIVIDE XTAL AGC Settling = AGC_WAIT_TIME x Number of Gain Changes FSK correlator/demodulator Linear demodulator Select these using the Demod Select Bits R4_DB[4:5]. FSK CORRELATOR/DEMODULATOR The quadrature outputs of the IF filter are first limited and then fed to a pair of digital frequency correlators that perform bandpass filtering of the binary FSK frequencies at (IF + FDEV) and (IF - FDEV). Data is recovered by comparing the output levels from each of the two correlators. The performance of this frequency discriminator approximates that of a matched filter detector, which is known to provide optimum detection in the presence of AWGN. FREQUENCY CORRELATOR 0 I LIMITERS Q - FDEV + FDEV SLICER POST DEMOD FILTER Thus, in the worst case, if the AGC loop has to go through all five gain changes, AGC delay = 10, and SEQ_CLK = 200 kHz, then AGC settling = 10 x 5 s x 5 = 250 s. Minimum AGC_WAIT_TIME must be at least 25 s. + - DATA SYNCHRONIZER In Register 3, the user should set the BB offset clock divide bits R3_DB[4:5] to give an offset clock between 1 MHz and 2 MHz, where BBOS _CLK [Hz] = XTAL/(BBOS_CLK_DIVIDE). 0 DB(4:13) DB(14) DB(8:15) Figure 29.

The bandwidth of this postdemodulator filter is programmable and must be optimized for the user's data rate. If the bandwidth is set too narrow, performance is degraded due to intersymbol interference (ISI). If the bandwidth is set too wide, excess noise degrades the receiver's performance. Typically, the 3 dB bandwidth of this filter is set at approximately 0.75 times the user's data rate, using Bits R4_DB[6:15]. Bit Slicer The received data is recovered by the threshold detecting the output of the postdemodulator low-pass filter. In the correlator/ demodulator, the binary output signal levels of the frequency discriminator are always centered on 0. Therefore, the slicer threshold level can be fixed at 0, and the demodulator performance is independent of the run-length constraints of the transmit data bit stream. This results in robust data recovery, which does not suffer from the classic baseline wander problems that exist in more traditional FSK demodulators. The discriminator BW is controlled in Register 6 by R6_DB[4:13] and is defined as DISCRIMINATOR_BW = DEMOD_CLK/(4 x FDEV) where: DEMOD_CLK is as defined in the Register 3--Receiver Clock Register section. FDEV is the deviation from the carrier frequency in FSK modulation. Postdemodulator Bandwidth Register Settings The 3 dB bandwidth of the postdemodulator filter is controlled by Bits R4_DB[6:15] and is given by POST _ DEMOD _ BW _ SETTING = Some sample settings for the FSK correlator/demodulator are DEMOD_CLK = 11.0592 MHz DR = 200 kbps FDEV = 300 kHz Therefore, FCUTOFF = 0.75 x 200 x 103 Hz POST_DEMOD_BW = 211 x x 150 x 103 Hz/(11.0592 MHz) POST_DEMOD_BW = Round (87.266) = 87 FSK Correlator Register Settings To enable the FSK correlator/demodulator, Bits R4_DB[5:4] should be set to 01.

See the Register 3--Receiver Clock Register section for a definition of how to program. The clock recovery PLL can accommodate frequency errors of up to 2%. 210 x 2 x FCUTOFF and DISCRIMINATOR_BW = (11.0592 MHz )/(4 x 300 x 103) = 9.21 = 9 (rounded to the nearest integer) Table 6.

The ADF7025 also supports automatic detection of the sync or ID fields. To activate this mode, the sync (or ID) word must be preprogrammed into the ADF7025. In receive mode, this preprogrammed word is compared to the received bit stream and, when a valid match is identified, the external pin INT/LOCK is asserted by the ADF7025.

Block Diagram of Linear FSK Demodulator This method of frequency demodulation is useful when very short preamble length is required. A digital frequency discriminator provides an output signal that is linearly proportional to the frequency of the limiter outputs. The discriminator output is then filtered and averaged using a combined averaging filter and envelope detector. The demodulated FSK data is recovered by threshold-detecting the output of the averaging filter, as shown in Figure 30. In this mode, the slicer output shown in Figure 30 is routed to the data synchronizer PLL for clock synchronization. To enable the linear FSK demodulator, Bits R4_DB[4:5] are set to [00]. This feature can be used to alert the microprocessor that a valid channel has been detected. It relaxes the computational requirements of the microprocessor and reduces the overall power consumption. The INT/LOCK is automatically de-asserted again after nine data clock cycles. The automatic sync/ID word detection feature is enabled by selecting Demod Mode 2 or Demod Mode 3 in the demodulator setup register. Do this by setting R4_DB[25:23] = [010] or R4_DB[25:23] = [011]. Bits R5_DB[4:5] are used to set the length of the sync/ID word, which can be either 12 bits, 16 bits, 20 bits, or 24 bits long. The transmitter must transmit the MSB of the sync byte first and the LSB last to ensure proper alignment in the receiver sync byte detection hardware. For systems using FEC, an error tolerance parameter can also be programmed that accepts a valid match when up to three bits of the word are incorrect. The error tolerance value is assigned in R5_DB[6:7]. The 3 dB bandwidth of the postdemodulation filter is set in the same way as the FSK correlator/demodulator, which is set in R4_DB[6:15] and is defined as POST _ DEMOD _ BW _ SETTING 210 2 FCUTOFF DEMOD _ CLK where: FCUTOFF is the target 3 dB bandwidth in Hz of the postdemodulator filter.

C | Page 22 of 41 Data Sheet ADF7025 APPLICATIONS SECTION LNA/PA MATCHING The ADF7025 exhibits optimum performance in terms of sensitivity, transmit power, and current consumption only if its RF input and output ports are properly matched to the antenna impedance. For cost-sensitive applications, the ADF7025 is equipped with an internal Rx/Tx switch, which facilitates the use of a simple combined passive PA/LNA matching network. Alternatively, an external Rx/Tx switch, such as the Analog Devices ADG919, can be used, which yields a slightly improved receiver sensitivity and lower transmitter power consumption. External Rx/Tx Switch Figure 31 shows a configuration using an external Rx/Tx switch. This configuration allows an independent optimization of the matching and filter network in the transmit and receive path, and is, therefore, more flexible and less difficult to design than the configuration using the internal Rx/Tx switch. The PA is biased through Inductor L1, while C1 blocks dc current. Both elements, L1 and C1, also form the matching network, which transforms the source impedance into the optimum PA load impedance, ZOPT_PA.

The harmonic filter can be implemented in various ways, such as a discrete LC filter or T-stage filter. Dielectric low-pass filter components such as the LFL18924MTC1A052 (for operation in the 915 MHz band), or LFL18869MTC2A160 (for operation in the 868 MHz band), both by Murata Mfg. Co., Ltd., represent an attractive alternative to discrete designs. The immunity of the ADF7025 to strong out-of-band interference can be improved by adding a band-pass filter in the Rx path. Figure 32 shows the ADF7025 in a configuration where the internal Rx/Tx switch is used with a combined LNA/PA matching network. This is the configuration used in the EVALADF7025DBZ1. For most applications, the slight performance degradation of 1 dB to 2 dB caused by the internal Rx/Tx switch is acceptable, allowing the user to take advantage of the costsaving potential of this solution. The design of the combined matching network must compensate for the reactance presented by the networks in the Tx and the Rx paths, taking the state of the Rx/Tx switch into consideration. VBAT OPTIONAL LPF A first-order implementation of the matching network can be obtained by understanding the arrangement as two L-type matching networks in a back-to-back configuration. Due to the asymmetry of the network with respect to ground, a compromise between the input reflection coefficient and the maximum differential signal swing at the LNA input must be established. The use of appropriate CAD software is strongly recommended for this optimization. VBAT Figure 31. ADF7025 with External Rx/Tx Switch C1 L1 PA_OUT PA ANTENNA Due to the differential LNA input, the LNA matching network must be designed to provide both a single-ended to differential conversion and a complex conjugate impedance match. The network with the lowest component count that can satisfy these requirements is the configuration shown in Figure 31, which consists of two capacitors and one inductor. Rev.

ADF7025 with Internal Rx/Tx Switch 05542-032 ZOPT_PA depends on various factors such as the required output power, the frequency range, the supply voltage range, and the temperature range. Selecting an appropriate ZOPT_PA helps to minimize the Tx current consumption in the application. This data sheet contains a number of ZOPT_PA values for representative conditions. Under certain conditions, however, it is recommended to obtain a suitable ZOPT_PA value by means of a load-pull measurement. ADF7025 Data Sheet The procedure typically requires several iterations until an acceptable compromise is reached. The successful implementation of a combined LNA/PA matching network for the ADF7025 is critically dependent on the availability of an accurate electrical model for the PC board. In this context, the use of a suitable CAD package is strongly recommended. To avoid this effort, however, a small form-factor reference design for the ADF7025 is provided, including matching and harmonic filter components. The design is on a 2-layer PCB to minimize cost.

Preamble patterns with longer run-length constraints such as 11001100.... can also be used. However, this results in a longer synchronization time of the received bit stream in the receiver. Manchester coding can be used for the entire transmit protocol. However, the remaining fields that follow the preamble header do not have to use dc-free coding. For these fields, the ADF7025 can accommodate coding schemes with a run-length of up to six bits without any performance degradation.

ADuC841 to ADF7025 Connection Diagram ADF7025 ADSP-BF533 If longer run-length coding must be supported, the ADF7025 has several other features that can be activated. These involve a range of programmable options that allow the envelope detector output to be frozen after preamble acquisition. DEVICE PROGRAMMING AFTER INITIAL POWER-UP Table 7 lists the minimum number of writes needed to set up the ADF7025 in either Tx or Rx mode after CE is brought high. Additional registers can also be written to tailor the part to a particular application, such as setting up sync byte detection. When going from Tx to Rx or vice versa, the user needs to write only to the N register to alter the LO by 200 kHz and to toggle the Tx/Rx bit. Rev.

This typically depends on the XTAL type and the load capacitance specified. Time for regulator to power up. The serial interface can be written to after this time. Time to write to a single register. Maximum SPI_CLK is 25 MHz. The VCO can power-up in parallel with the XTAL. This depends on the CVCO capacitance value used. A value of 22 nF is recommended as a trade-off between phase noise performance and power-up time. This depends on the number of gain changes the AGC loop needs to cycle through and AGC settings programmed. This is described in more detail in the AGC Information section. This is the time for the clock and data recovery circuit to settle. This typically requires 5-bit transitions to acquire sync and is usually covered by the preamble.

READY WR0 WR1 T1 T2 T3 Data Sheet ADF7025 SERIAL INTERFACE The serial interface allows the user to program the eleven 32-bit registers using a 3-wire interface (SCLK, SDATA, and SLE). It consists of a level shifter, a 32-bit shift register, and 11 latches. Signals should be CMOS-compatible. The serial interface is powered by the regulator, and, therefore, is inactive when CE is low. Battery Voltage ADCIN/Temperature Sensor Readback Data is clocked into the register, MSB first, on the rising edge of each clock (SCLK). Data is transferred to one of 11 latches on the rising edge of SLE. The destination latch is determined by the value of the four control bits (C4 to C1). These are the bottom four LSBs, DB3 to DB0, as shown in the timing diagram in Figure 2. Data can also be read back on the SREAD pin. VBATTERY = (BATTERY_VOLTAGE_READBACK)/21.1 VADCIN = (ADCIN_VOLTAGE_READBACK)/42.1 The battery voltage is measured at Pin VDD4. The readback information is contained in Bit RV1 to Bit RV7. This also applies for the readback of the voltage at the ADCIN pin and the temperature sensor. From the readback information, the battery or ADCIN voltage can be determined using Silicon Revision Readback The silicon revision readback word is valid without setting any other registers, especially directly after power-up. The silicon revision word is coded with four quartets in BCD format. The product code (PC) is coded with two quartets extending from Bit RV9 to Bit RV16. The revision code (RV) is coded with one quartet extending from Bit RV1 to Bit RV8. The product code should read back as PC = 0x25. The current revision code should read as RC = 0x08. READBACK FORMAT The readback operation is initiated by writing a valid control word to the readback register and setting the readback-enable bit (R7_DB8 = 1). The readback can begin after the control word has been latched with the SLE signal. SLE must be kept high while the data is being read out. Each active edge at the SCLK pin clocks the readback word out successively at the SREAD pin, as shown in Figure 38, starting with the MSB first. The data appearing at the first clock cycle following the latch operation must be ignored. Filter Calibration Readback The filter calibration readback word is contained in Bit RV1 to Bit RV8 and is for diagnostic purposes only. Using the automatic filter calibration function, accessible through Register 6, is recommended. Before filter calibration is initiated, Decimal 32 should be read back. RSSI Readback The RSSI readback operation yields valid results in Rx mode. The format of the readback word is shown in Figure 38. It comprises the RSSI level information (Bit RV1 to Bit RV7), the current filter gain (FG1 and FG2), and the current LNA gain (LG1 and LG2) setting. The filter and LNA gain are coded in accordance with the definitions in Register 9--AGC Register. The input power can be calculated from the RSSI readback value, as outlined in the RSSI/AGC section.

The transmitter must transmit the MSB of the sync byte first and the LSB last to ensure proper alignment in the receiver sync byte detection hardware.

Nonadherence to correlator programming guidelines results in poor sensitivity. The filter clock is used to calibrate the LP filter. The filter clock divide ratio should be adjusted so that the frequency is 50 kHz. The formula is XTAL/FILTER_CLOCK_DIVIDE. The filter should be calibrated only when the crystal oscillator is settled. The filter calibration is initiated every time Bit R6_DB19 is set high. DISCRIMINATOR_BW = DEMOD_CLK/(4 x DEVIATION_FREQUENCY). See the FSK Correlator/Demodulator section. Maximum value = 600. When LNA Mode = 1 (reduced gain mode), the Rx is prevented from selecting the highest LNA gain setting. This can be used when linearity is a concern.

Register 12--Test Register Using the Test DAC on the ADF7025 to Implement Analog FM DEMOD and Measuring SNR The test DAC allows the output of the postdemodulator filter for both the linear and correlator/demodulators to be viewed externally. It takes the 16-bit filter output and converts it to a high frequency, single-bit output using a second-order error feedback - converter. The output can be viewed on the XCLKOUT pin. This signal, when IF-filtered appropriately, can then be used to Monitor the signals at the FSK postdemodulator filter output. This allows the demodulator output SNR to be measured. Eye diagrams can also be constructed of the received bit stream to measure the received signal quality. Provide analog FM demodulation. While the correlators and filters are clocked by DEMOD_CLK, CDR_CLK clocks the test DAC. Note that, although the test DAC functions in a regular user mode, the best performance is achieved when the CDR_CLK is increased up to or above the frequency of DEMOD_CLK. The CDR block does not function when this condition exists. Programming the test register, Register 12, enables the test DAC. Both the linear and correlator/demodulator outputs can be multiplexed into the DAC. Register 13 allows a fixed offset term to be removed from the signal in the case where there is an error in the received signal frequency. If there is a frequency error in the signal, the user should program half this value into the offset removal field. It also has a signal gain term to allow usage of the maximum dynamic range of the DAC. Setting Up the Test DAC Digital test modes = 7: enables the test DAC, with no offset removal (0x0001C00C). Digital test modes = 10: enables the test DAC, with offset removal. The output of the active demodulator drives the DAC; that is, if the FSK correlator/demodulator is selected, the correlator filter output drives the DAC. Rev.

Register 13--Offset Removal and Signal Gain Register Register 13--Offset Removal and Signal Gain Register Comments Because the linear demodulator output is proportional to frequency, it usually consists of an offset combined with a relatively low signal. The offset can be removed, up to a maximum of 1.0, and gained to use the full dynamic range of the DAC, as follows: DAC_INPUT = (2TEST_DAC_GAIN) x (Signal - TEST_DAC_OFFSET_REMOVAL/4096). Rev.
