Basic Clock Cycle of the
Digital Circuitry The complete timing of the digital circuitry and the analog filtering is derived from one
clock. According to Figure 11, this clock cycle T
Clk
is derived from the crystal oscillator
(XTO) in combination with a divider. The division factor is controlled by the logical state
at pin MODE. According to section “RF Front End” on page 4, the frequency of the crys-
tal oscillator (f
XTO
) is defined by the RF input signal (f
RFin
) which also defines the
operating frequency of the local oscillator (f
LO
).
Figure 11. Generation of the Basic Clock Cycle
Pin MODE can now be set in accordance with the desired clock cycle T
Clk
. T
Clk
controls
the following application-relevant parameters:
• Timing of the polling circuit including bit check
• Timing of the analog and digital signal processing
• Timing of the register programming
• Frequency of the reset marker
• IF filter center frequency (f
IF0
)
Most applications are dominated by two transmission frequencies: f
Send
= 315 MHz is
mainly used in the USA, f
Send
= 433.92 MHz in Europe. In order to ease the usage of all
T
Clk
-dependent parameters, the electrical characteristics display three conditions for
each parameter.
• Application USA (f
XTO
= 4.90625 MHz, MODE = L, T
Clk
= 2.0383 µs)
• Application Europe (f
XTO
= 6.76438 MHz, MODE = H, T
Clk
= 2.0697 µs)
• Other applications (T
Clk
is dependent on f
XTO
and on the logical state of pin MODE.
The electrical characteristic is given as a function of T
Clk
).
The clock cycle of some function blocks depends on the selected baud rate range
(BR_Range) which is defined in the OPMODE register. This clock cycle T
XClk
is defined
by the following formulas for further reference:
BR_Range = BR_Range0: T
