EVB71071 315/433mhz transmitter evaluation board description 390127107101 2 of 8 evb description rev. 003 aug/02 theory of operation general as depicted in fig.1, the th71071 transmitter consists of a fully integrated voltage-controlled oscillator (vco), a divide-by-32 divider (div32), a phase-frequency detector (pfd) and a charge pump. an external loop filter at pin lf determines the dynamic behaviour of the pll and suppresses reference spurious signals. the vco?s output signal feeds the power amplifier (pa). rf signal power p o can be adjusted in six steps from p o = ?12 dbm to +2 dbm either by changing the value of resistor r 1 or by varying the voltage v ps at pin ps/data. the open-collector differential output (out1, out2) can be used to either directly drive a loop antenna or to be converted to a single-ended impedance by means of a balanced-to-unbalanced (balun) transformer. for maximum available output power, the differential output should be matched to a load of approx. 1 k ? . bandgap biasing ensures stable operation of the ic at a power supply range of 2.2 v to 5.5 v. ask modulation the th71071 can be ask-modulated by applying data directly at pin ps. this turns the pa on and off and therefore leads to an ask signal at the output. lo source many applications require a stable rf source. for this purpose, the th71071 can be used without modulation as an easy-to-use, pll-stabilized, continuous wave (cw) generator. mode control logic the mode control logic allows two different modes of operation as listed in the following table. the mode control pin entx is pulled-down internally. this guarantees that the whole circuit is shut down if this pin is left floating. entx mode description 0 tx disabled whole circuit in standby 1 tx enable tx active table 1: modes of operation output power selection typical values at t a = 23 c and v cc = 3 v: r1 / k ? ? ? ? 0 7.5 11 15 24 43 r2 / k ? ? ? ? 4.7 4.7 4.7 4.7 4.7 v ps / v 2 1.1 0.9 0.7 0.5 0.3 i cc / ma 11.5 8.6 7.3 6.2 5.3 4.8 p o / dbm 2 -1 -4 -7 -10 -12 p harm / dbm -40 -40 -40 -45 -45 -50 table 2: output power selection if the transmitter is operated at any supply voltage v cc , the values for r 1 and r 2 can be calculated as allows: ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? = 1 2 1 ps cc v v r r for more detailed information, please refer to the latest th71071 data sheet revision. .
