General Description
Key Features
The SX1302 is a new generation of baseband LoRa® chip for
gateways. It excels in reducing current consumption,
simplifies the thermal design of gateways, and reduces the
Bill Of Materials costs, yet it is capable of handling a higher
amount of traffic than preceding devices.
•
LoRaWAN, Class A/B/C, all regions
•
125 kHz LoRa reception with:
•
• 8 x 8 channels LoRa® packet detectors
• 8 x SF5-SF12 LoRa® demodulators
• 8 x SF5-SF10 LoRa® demodulators
125 /250 / 500 kHz LoRa® demodulator
•
(G)FSK demodulator
•
Direct interface to Semtech transceivers
•
SX1255, SX1257 and SX1250
•
Single 32 MHz clock
The high-speed baseband digital engines are clocked from
a single 32 MHz clock source, and the chip embeds the
capability to support SF5 and SF6 unlike previous
generations. To absorb the additional traffic that the radio
will be able to detect, more modems are now collaborating.
8 of them have been added to specifically handle the
high-speed SF5 and SF6 packets, whilst the 8 others are still
taking care of the SF7-SF12 traffic. The architecture has
been reworked to reduce power consumption very
significantly; it makes it easier to embed the SX1302 in
highly-integrated environments where power dissipation
might be a challenge.
The SX1302 is also serialized in production, with a globally
unique 64-bit number.

4. RF Front End Interface
The SX1302 can accommodate any of the following RF front-end devices: SX1250, SX1255 and SX1257, all of which are
Semtech products. For any other device, hardware logic could be used on the interface for translation purposes.
The roles of these devices is to down-convert the RF signal to baseband (direct conversion or low-IF), and digitize it to feed
the IQ samples to the SX1302 baseband chip.
The interconnection to the front-end device is organized as follows. Here, the SX1250 is taken as an example:

5. Power Distribution
The SX1302 needs two powers rails: VCC_IO and VCC_CORE. VCC_IO sets the voltage level for all of the digital interfaces of
the chip (SPI, GPIO and IQ interface), whilst VCC_CORE supplies current to the baseband engine. VCC_CORE can be derived
from a higher voltage source with a high-efficiency DC-DC buck converter, as it is only 1.2 V. An optimized power
management strategy is proposed in Semtech’s reference designs, and one example of displayed in Section 10.2
"Reference Block Diagram" on page 24 .
The following currents can be measured, and should be used to design the power supply in the system:

During a reception phase, the current observed won’t be always the same, but will spike up during certain phases of the
reception. Therefore, the average current should be used to compute the total energy consumption of the SX1302 based
gateway, however the peak current will be the relevant metric to size the power supply components.
To ensure proper control of all digital IOs during the power-up and power-down sequences of the SX1302, VCC_CORE shall
be enabled before VCC_IO at start-up, and disabled after VCC_IO at shut-down.

6. Clocking
The SX1302 uses the 32 MHz clock source from its companion RF Front-end (for example, Semtech’s SX1250) to clock the
entire system. This clock is injected on pin 43 (RADIO_A_CLK_I). It is advised to use a GPS-precision TCXO (0.5 ppm), in order
to have a maximum “capture range” for the receiver, allowing lower precision reference clock, which are cheaper, on the
end-devices.

7. Detection Engine - Modems
The SX1302 embeds 16 different modems, of two sorts:
•
8 multi-SF LoRa® modems, capable of demodulating any LoRa® packet from SF5 to SF12
•
8 multi-SF LoRa® modems, specifically demodulating SF5 to SF10 traffic
•
1 high-speed multi-BW LoRa® modem (125, 250 or 500 kHz), handling a single declared SF
A holistic detection engine can capture any LoRa® traffic in the pre-defined frequency plan, and assign the detected packets
to the pool of available modems for demodulation.

8. Digital Interface and Control
The transceiver is controlled via a serial interface (SPI) and a set of general purpose input/output (DIOs).
8.1 Host SPI Interface
The SPI interface gives access to the configuration register via a synchronous full-duplex frame corresponding to CPOL = 0
and CPHA = 0 in Motorola/Freescale nomenclature.
An address byte followed by a data byte is sent for a write access whereas an address byte is sent and a read byte is received
for the read access. The CSN pin goes low at the beginning of the frame and goes high after the data byte.
MOSI is generated by the master on the falling edge of SCK and is sampled by the slave (i.e. this SPI interface) on the rising
edge of SCK. MISO is generated by the slave on the falling edge of SCK.
A transfer is always started by the CSN pin going low. MISO is high impedance when CSN is high.
The host terminates an SPI transaction by raising the CSN signal, it does not explicitly send the command length as a
parameter. The host must not raise CSN within the bytes of a transaction.

9. Application Programming Interface
Through SPI interface, the SX1302 is fully controlled by its host, whether it is a MCU (smal-size cell) or a Linux MPU for
higher-end gateways.
Semtech fully abstracts the complexity of the SX1302 and its companions chips by delivering two libraries as open-source
code:
•
SX1302 HAL (Hardware Abstraction layer), incorporating all of the required code to initialize, calibrate, run and
exchange radio packets with the gateway board
•
SX1302 Packet Forwarder, which is a simple example application of how a gateway can be connected to a host. The
host, in a LoRaWAN network, is typically cloud-based, but can also be co-located with the gateway in case of
small-scale networks
All of these open-sourced libraries are available from Github on https://github.com/Lora-net/lora_gateway.
9.1 Globally Unique EUI
The SX1302 chip is serialized in production, with a globally unique 64-bit number. It may be used by the application for
identification and security purposes.
This 64-bit EUI can be retrieved with the function lgw_get_eui() available in the HAL library.

10. Application Information
The Core cell reference design represents a compact reference implementation of the SX1302, along with its power
management, clocks, Front End Module, RF matching and filtering.
10.1 Geographical Designs
The suitability of the SX1302-based reference designs to national radio frequency regulations depends on the RF front-end
device being used. With the SX1250/55/57 front-ends provided by Semtech, the expectation is:
•
Up to +27 dBm supported in the USA, Canada or other FCC-type countries
•
Up the +27 dBm in Europe and other ITU 1 regions
•
Up to +21 dBm in Japan where the phase noise requirement is more stringent
