Functional Block Description
2.4.1
PLL Synthesizer
The Phase Locked Loop synthesizer consists of a Voltage Controlled Oscillator (VCO),
an asynchronous divider chain, a phase detector, a charge pump and a loop filter. It is
fully implemented on chip. The tuning circuit of the VCO consisting of spiral inductors
and varactor diodes is on chip, too. Therefore no additional external components are
necessary. The nominal center frequency of the VCO is 868 MHz. The oscillator signal
is fed both, to the synthesizer divider chain and to the power amplifier. The overall
division ratio of the asynchronous divider chain is 64. The phase detector is a Type IV
PD with charge pump. The passive loop filter is realized on chip.
2.4.2
Crystal Oscillator
The crystal oscillator operates at 13.56 MHz.
The crystal frequency is divided by 16. The resulting 847.5 kHz are available at the clock
output CLKOUT (pin1) to drive the clock input of a micro controller.
To achieve FSK transmission, the oscillator frequency can be detuned by a fixed amount
by switching an external capacitor via FSKOUT (pin 4).
The condition of the switch is controlled by the signal at FSKDTA (pin 7).

The Power Amplifier has an Open Collector output at PAOUT (pin 9) and requires an
external pull-up coil to provide bias. The coil is part of the tuning and matching LC
circuitry to get best performance with the external loop antenna. To achieve the best
power amplifier efficiency, the high frequency voltage swing at PAOUT (pin 9) should be
twice the supply voltage.
The power amplifier has its own ground pin PAGND (pin 8) in order to reduce the amount
of coupling to the other circuits.
2.4.4
Power Modes
The IC provides three power modes, the POWER DOWN MODE, the PLL ENABLE
MODE and the TRANSMIT MODE.
2.4.4.1
Power Down Mode
In the POWER DOWN MODE the complete chip is switched off.
The current consumption is typically 0.3 nA at 3 V 25°C.
This current doubles every 8°C. The values for higher temperatures are
typically 14 nA at 85°C and typically 600 nA at 125°C.
2.4.4.2
PLL Enable Mode
In the PLL ENABLE MODE the PLL is switched on but the power amplifier is turned off
to avoid undesired power radiation during the time the PLL needs to settle. The turn on
time of the PLL is determined mainly by the turn on time of the crystal oscillator and is
less than 1 msec when the specified crystal is used.
The current consumption is typically 4mA.

V 1.1, 2006-07-10
TDK5110F
Functional Description
2.4.4.3
Transmit Mode
In the TRANSMIT MODE the PLL is switched on and the power amplifier is turned on too.
The current consumption of the IC is typically 14.2 mA when using a proper transforming
network at PAOUT, see Figure 8.
2.4.4.4
Power mode control
The bias circuitry is powered up via a voltage V > 1.5 V at the pin PDWN (pin10).
When the bias circuitry is powered up, the pins ASKDTA and FSKDTA are pulled up
internally.
Forcing the voltage at the pins low overrides the internally set state.
Alternatively, if the voltage at ASKDTA or FSKDTA is forced high externally, the PDWN
pin is pulled up internally via a current source. In this case, it is not necessary to connect
the PDWN pin, it is recommended to leave it open.
The principle schematic of the power mode control circuitry is shown in Figure 3

Application Hints on the Crystal Oscillator
Application Hints on the crystal oscillator
The crystal oscillator achieves a turn on time less than 1 msec when the specified crystal
is used. To achieve this, a NIC oscillator type is implemented in the TDK5110F. The input
impedance of this oscillator is a negative resistance in series to an inductance. Therefore
the load capacitance of the crystal CL (specified by the crystal supplier) is transformed
to the capacitance Cv.

of CL = 12 pF. The inductance L at 13.56MHz is about 4.6 µH. Therefore C1 is calculated

The frequency deviation of the crystal oscillator is multiplied with the divider factor N of
the Phase Locked Loop to the output of the power amplifier. In case of small frequency
deviations (up to +/- 1000 ppm), the two desired load capacitances can be calculated
with the formula below.

Because of the inductive part of the TDK5110F, these values must be corrected by
Formula 1 on the preceding page. The value of Cv± can be calculated.

If the FSK switch is closed, Cv± is equal to Cv1 (C1 in the application diagram). If the
FSK switch is open, Cv2 (C2 in the application diagram) can be calculated.

Remark: These calculations are only approximations. The necessary values depend
on the layout also and must be adapted for the specific application board.

Design Hints on the Clock Output (CLKOUT)
The CLKOUT pin is an open collector output. An external pull up resistor (RL) should be
connected between this pin and the positive supply voltage. The value of RL is
depending on the clock frequency and the load capacitance CLD (PCB board plus input
capacitance of the microcontroller). RL can be calculated to:
RL =

To achieve a low current consumption and a low
spurious radiation, the largest possible RL should be chosen.

Applications
Even harmonics of the signal at CLKOUT can interact with the crystal oscillator input
COSC preventing the start-up of oscillation. Care must be taken in layout by sufficient
separation of the signal lines to ensure sufficiently small coupling.

Application Hints on the Power-Amplifier
The power amplifier operates in a high efficient class C mode. This mode is
characterized by a pulsed operation of the power amplifier transistor at a current flow
angle of θ
