Application Hint 37l Micrel Application Hint 42 QwikRadioTM- Calculating the CTH Capacitor by Carlos Ribeiro The following application hint refers to the MICRF002, MICRF007, MICRF011 and MICRF022 QwikRadioTM Receivers. The calculations apply to data-patterns with 50/50 and 33/66 duty cycles. The CTH capacitor value is dependent on several factors. It is important to calculate the right capacitor value for each specific application. A wrong CTH capacitor value will deteriorate the maximum range in the RF link. The example below shows how to calculate it and a table is provided for other frequencies. Example No. 1: 1.2kbps, 50% Manchester When a 50% duty cycle data pattern with a preamble is used, (see Figure 1) use the following formula to calculate CTH, BIT PERIOD = 1/DATA RATE PREAMBLE DEAD TIME DATA 50% MANCHESTER Figure 1. Data Pattern, 50% Manchester Table 1. Freq. 315 MHz, 50% Duty Cycle, Manchester encoding, no squelch, REFOSC=4.897MHz, pulse with preamble, fixed mode. Baud Rate bps 1200 2400 4800 9600 CTH 39nF 18nF 8.2nF 4.7nF CAGC 2.2F 1F 0.47F 0.22F Table 1. SEL0 1 0 1 1 SEL1 0 1 1 1 5 DATARATE (Equation 1) C TH = 578200 REFOSC Fixed Mode, SEL0 = 1, SEL1 = 0 Carrier Frequency: 433.92 MHz. Reference Oscillator: 6.7458 MHz, up conversion Plugging in the values at Equation 1, we have 5 1200 C TH = 578200 6.7258 C TH = 48.6nF Table 2. Freq. 433.92 MHz, 50% Duty Cycle, Manchester encoding, no squelch, REFOSC=6.7458MHz, pulse with preamble, fixed mode. Baud Rate bps 1200 2400 4800 9600 CTH 47nF 27nF 12nF 5.6nF CAGC 2.2F 1F 0.47F 0.22F Table 2. SEL0 1 0 1 1 SEL1 0 1 1 1 The closest commercial value is 47nF. Notice that the CTH value is dependent mainly on the baud rate (data pattern) and the reference oscillator frequency. See Table 1 and 2 for other baud rates and frequencies. Note 1: The AGC capacitor values are suggested values and will depend on how much dead time there is between preamble and data and how fast the receiver needs to be in stead state. Note 2: For 33/66 coding scheme, use the same equation 1 to calculate CTH. Note 3: Application note 22 has further information about the CTH pin. MICREL INC.
