Polling Current Calculation
Figure 8-1.
Polling Cycle
In an RKE and TPM system, the average chip current in Polling mode, I
Polling
, is an important
parameter. The polling period must be controlled by the connected microcontroller via the pins
ENABLE and RX. The polling current can be calculated as follows:
I
Polling
= (T
Startup_PLL
/ T
Polling_Period
)
× I
Startup_PLL
+ (T
Startup_Sig_Proc
/ T
Polling_Period
)
× I
Active
+
(T
Bitcheck
/ T
Polling_Period
)
× I
Active
+ (T
Polling_Period
– T
Startup_PLL

– T

) /
T
Polling_Period
× I
Standby
T
Startup_PLL
:
depends on 315 MHz/433.92 MHz application.
T
Startup_Sig_Proc
:
depends on 315 MHz/433.92 MHz application and the selected bit
rate range.
T
Bitcheck
:
depends on the signal bit rate (1 / Signal_Bit_Rate).
T
Polling_Period
:
depends on the transmitter telegram (preburst).
I
Startup_PLL
:
depends on 3V or 5V application and the setting of pin CLK_OUT.
I
Active
:
depends on 3V or 5V application, ASK or FSK mode and the setting of
pin CLK_OUT.
I
Standby
:
depends on 3V or 5V application and the setting of pin CLK_OUT.
