For FM/FSK reception the IF tank used in the phase coincidence demodulator can also be constituted by a ceramic discriminator with a varactor diode to create an AFC circuit. In ASK configuration, the RSSI signal is fed to an ASK detector, which is constituted by the operational amplifier. A double-conversion variant, called TH71112, is also available. This receiver IC allows a higher degree of image rejection, achieved in conjunction with an RF front-end filter. Both RXICs have the same die. At the TH71112, the second mixer (MIX2) is used to down-convert the first IF (IF1) to the second IF (IF2). At the TH71111, MIX2 operates as an amplifier. Efficient RF front-end filtering is realized by using a SAW, ceramic or helix filter in front of the LNA and by adding an LC filter at the LNA output. The TH71111 receiver IC consists of the following building blocks: # # # # # # # # PLL synthesizer (PLL SYNTH) for generation of the local oscillator signal LO, parts of the PLL SYNTH are: the high-frequency VCO1, the feedback divider DIV_32, a phase-frequency detector (PFD) with charge pump (CP) and a crystal-based reference oscillator (RO) Low-noise amplifier (LNA) for high-sensitivity RF signal reception First mixer (MIX1) for down-conversion of the RF signal to the IF IF pre amplifier which is a mixer cell (MIX2) that operates as an amplifier IF amplifier (IFA) to amplify and limit the IF signal and for RSSI generation Phase coincidence demodulator (DEMOD) with third mixer (MIX3) to demodulate the IF signal Operational amplifier (OA) for data slicing, filtering and ASK detection Bias circuitry for bandgap biasing and circuit shutdown 1.2 EVB Technical Data Overview !

The receiver’s single-conversion architecture requires careful frequency planning. Besides the desired RF input signal, there are a number of spurious signals that may cause an undesired response at the output. Among them is the image of the RF signal that must be suppressed by the RF front-end filter. 39012 71111 01 Rev. 011 Page 4 of 14 EVB Description June/07 EVB71111 868/915MHz Receiver Evaluation Board Description By using the internal PLL synthesizer of the TH71111 with the fixed feedback divider ratio of N = 16 (DIV_32), two types of down-conversion are possible: low-side injection of LO and high-side injection of LO. The following table summarizes some equations that are useful to calculate the crystal reference frequency (REF) and the LO frequency, for a given RF and IF. Injection type REF LO IF RF image low (RF – IF)/32 32 • REF RF – LO RF – 2IF high (RF + IF)/32 32 • REF LO – RF RF + 2IF 1.6.1 Selected Frequency Plans The following table depicts crystal, LO and image signals considering the examples of 868.3 MHz and 915 MHz RF reception at IF = 10.7 MHz. Signal type Injection type REF / MHz LO / MHz RF image / MHz RF = 868.3 MHz low 26.80000 857.6 846.9 RF = 868.3 MHz high 27.46875 879.0 889.7 RF = 915 MHz low 28.25938 904.3 893.6 RF = 915 MHz high 28.92813 925.7 936.4 The selection of the reference crystal frequency is based on some assumptions. As for example: the image frequency should not be in a radio band where strong interfering signals might occur (because they could represent parasitic receiving signals), the LO signal should be in the range of 800 MHz to 930 MHz (because this is the optimum frequency range of the VCO1). Furthermore the IF should be as high as possible to achieve highest RF image rejection. The columns in bold depict the selected frequency plans to receive at 868.3 MHz and 915 MHz, respectively. 1.6.2 Maximum Frequency Coverage Parameter Injection type RF / MHz REF / MHz LO / MHz IF/ MHz fmin high 789.3 25.0 800 10.7 fmax low 940.7 29.0625 930 10.7 39012 71111 01 Rev. 011 Page 5 of 14 EVB Description June/07 EVB71111 868/915MHz Receiver Evaluation Board Description 2 2.1 2.1.1 Application Circuits FSK Application Circuit Circuit Diagram for FSK Reception OUT_OA GND 12 FSK output CB3 VCC OAN 19 OUT_OA 18 VCC 17 OUTP GND 12 C15 C16 C17 XTAL C1 R5 R4 OUTP 23 RSSI 21 24 OAP 20 VEE 22 RSSI GND 12 GND RO VCC ENRX GND IN_LNA 12 CERDIS 16 VCC 123 C_RO CB2 R1 C3 25 VEE 26 RO 27 VCC 28 ENRX 29 LF 30 VEE OUT_IFA 15 VCC 14 C12 VCC CB4 C9 C11 C10 TH71111 GAIN_LNA OUT_LNA IN_MIX1 FBC2 13 FBC1 12 IN_IFA 11 VEE 10 OUT_MIX2 9 IF1N VCC R2 L1 50 6 1 SAWFIL 3 4 L2 C5 31 IN_LNA 32 VCC VEE IF1P VEE C4 CERFIL CB1 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 C7 CB5 RL1 RL2 CB6 L3 VCC CB8 CB7 GND VCC 21 Circuit Features • • Tolerates input frequency variations Well-suited for NRZ, Manchester and similar codes 39012 71111 01 Rev. 011 Page 6 of 14 EVB Description June/07 EVB71111 868/915MHz Receiver Evaluation Board Description 2.1.2 Part C1 C3 C4 C5 C7 C9 C10 C11 C12 C15 C16 C17 CB1 to CB5 CB7 to CB8 CB6 C_RO R1 R2 R4 R5 RL1 RL2 L1 L2 L3 Board Component Values for FSK Size 0805 0603 0603 0603 0603 0603 0603 0603 0805 0805 0805 0805 0603 0805 0603 0805 0603 0805 0805 0805 0805 0603 0603 0603 SMD 6x3.5 HC49 SMD Value @ 868.3 MHz 22 pF 1 nF 4.7 pF 2.7 pF 1.0 pF 33 nF 1 nF 1 nF 10 pF 100 pF 1.5 nF 10 nF 330 pF 33 nF 330 pF 10 kΩ 330 Ω 330 kΩ 220 kΩ 470 Ω 470 Ω 22 nH 22 nH 10 nH Value @ 915 MHz 22 pF 1 nF NIP NIP 0.68 pF 33 nF 1 nF 1 nF 10 pF 100 pF 1.5 nF 10 nF 330 pF 33 nF 330 pF 10 k Ω 330 Ω 330 kΩ 220 kΩ 470 Ω 470 Ω 0Ω 0Ω 10 nH Tolerance ±5% ±10% ±5% ±5% ±5% ±10% ±10% ±10% ±5% ±5% ±10% ±10% ±10% ±10% ±5% ±5% ±5% ±5% ±5% ±5% ±5% ±5% ±5% ±5% Description crystal series capacitor loop filter capacitor capacitor to match SAW filter input capacitor to match SAW filter output MIX1 input matching capacitor IFA feedback capacitor IFA feedback capacitor IFA feedback capacitor DEMOD phase-shift capacitor demodulator output low-pass capacitor, this value for data rates < 20 kbps NRZ, for higher data rates decrease the value RSSI output low-pass capacitor data slicer capacitor, this value for data rates > 0.8 kbps NRZ, for lower data rates increase the value de-coupling capacitor de-coupling capacitor optional capacitor, to couple external RO signal loop filter resistor optional CERFIL output matching resistor data slicer resistor loading resistor MIX1 bias resistor MIX1 bias resistor SAW filter matching inductor from Würth-Elektronik (WE-KI series), or equivalent part LNA output tank inductor from Würth-Elektronik (WE-KI series), or equivalent part fundamental-mode crystal from Telcona/Horizon (HEX22 series) or equivalent par fundamental-mode crystal, Cload = 10 pF to 15 pF, C0, max = 7 pF, R1, max = 50 Ωl low-loss SAW filter from Murata or equivalent part XTAL 26.80000 MHz @ RF = 868.3 MHz 28.25938 MHz @ RF = 915 MHz ±25ppm cal. ±30ppm temp.
