?2010-2014 by murata electronics n.a., inc. RX6000 (r) 10/20/14 page 5 of 10 www.murata.com figure 2 since an amplifier-sequenced receiver is inherently a sampling receiver, the overall cycle time be tween the start of one rfa1 on sequence and the start of the next rfa1 on sequence should be set to sample the narrowest rf data pulse at least 10 times. otherwise, significant edge jitter will be added to the detected data pulse. RX6000 series ash receiver block diagram figure 2 is the general block diagram of the RX6000 series ash receiver. please refer to figure 2 for the following discussions. antenna port the only external rf components needed for the receiver are the antenna and its matching components. antennas presenting an impedance in the range of 35 to 72 ohms resistive can be satisfactorily matched to the rfio pin with a series matching coil and a shunt matching/esd pr otection coil. other antenna impedances can be matched using two or three components. for some impedances, two inductors and a capacitor will be required. a dc path from rfio to ground is required for esd protection. receiver chain the output of the saw f ilter drives amplifier rfa1. this amplifier includes provisions for detecting the onset of saturation (agc set), and for switching between 35 db of gain and 5 db of gain (gain select). agc set is an input to t he agc control function, and gain select is the agc control functi on output. on/off control to rfa1 (and rfa2) is generated by the pulse generator & rf amp bias function. the output of rfa1 drives the saw delay line, which has a nominal delay of 0.5 s. the second amplifier, rfa2, provides 51 db of gain below saturation. the output of rfa2 driv es a full-wave detector with 19 db of threshold gain. the onset of saturation in each section of rfa2 is detected and summed to provide a logarithmic response. this is added to the output of the full-wave detector to produce an overall detector response that is square law for low signal levels, and transitions into a log response for high signal levels. this combination provides excellent threshold sensitivity and more than 70 db of detector dynamic range. in combination with the 30 db of agc range in rfa1, more than 100 db of receiver dynamic range is achieved. the detector output drives a gyrato r filter. the filter provides a three-pole, 0.05 degree equiripple low-pass response with excellent group delay flatness and minimal pulse ringing. the 3 db bandwidth of the filter can be set from 4.5 khz to 1.8 mhz with an external resistor. the filter is followed by a ba se-band amplifier which boosts the detected signal to the bbout pin. when the receiver rf amplifiers are operating at a 50%-50% duty cycle, the bbout signal changes about 10 mv/db, with a peak-t o-peak signal level of up to 685 mv. for lower duty cycles, the mv/db slope and peak-to-peak signal level are proportionately less. the detected signal is riding on a 1.1 vdc level that varies somewhat with supply voltage, temperature, etc. bbout is coupled to the cmpin pin or to an external data recovery process (dsp, etc.) by a series capacitor. the correct value of the series capacitor depends on data rate, data run length, and other factors as discussed in the ash transceiver designer?s guide . when an external data recovery process is used with agc, bbout must be coupled to the ex ternal data recovery process and cmpin by separate series coupling capacitors. the agc reset function is driven by the signal applied to cmpin.

?2010-2014 by murata electronics n.a., inc. RX6000 (r) 10/20/14 page 6 of 10 www.murata.com when the receiver is placed in the power-down (sleep) mode, the output impedance of bbout becomes very high. this feature helps preserve the charge on the coupling capacitor to minimize data slicer stabilization time when the receiver switches out of the sleep mode. data slicers the cmpin pin drives two data slicers, which convert the analog signal from bbout back into a digital stream. the best data slicer choice depends on the system operating parameters. data slicer ds1 is a capacitively-coupled comparator with provisions for an adjustable threshold. ds1 provides the best performance at low signal-to-noise conditions. the thre shold, or squelch, offsets the comparator?s slicing level from 0 to 90 mv, and is set with a resistor between the rref and thld1 pins. this threshold allows a trade- off between receiver sensitivity and output noise density in the no- signal condition. for best sensitivit y, the threshold is set to 0. in this case, noise is output contin uously when no signal is present. this, in turn, requires the circuit being driven by the rxdata pin to be able to process noise (and signals) continuously. this can be a problem if rxdata is driving a circuit that must ?sleep? when data is not present to conserve power, or when it its necessary to minimize false interr upts to a multitasking processor. in this case, noise can be greatly reduced by increasing the threshold level, but at the expens e of sensitivity. the best 3 db bandwidth for the low-pass filter is also affected by the threshold level setting of ds1. the bandwidth must be increased as the threshold is increased to minimize data pulse-width variations with signal amplitude. data slicer ds2 can overcome th is compromise once the signal level is high enough to enable its operation. ds2 is a ?db-below- peak? slicer. the peak detector charges rapidly to the peak value of each data pulse, and decays slowly in between data pulses (1:1000 ratio). the slicer trip point can be set from 0 to 120 mv below this peak value with a resistor between rref and thld2. a threshold of 60 mv is the most common setting, which equates to ?6 db below peak? when rfa1 and rfa2 are running a 50%- 50% duty cycle. slicing at the ?6 db-below-peak? point reduces the signal amplitude to data pulse-width variation, allowing a lower 3 db filter bandwidth to be used for improved sensitivity. ds2 is best for ask modulation where the transmitted waveform has been shaped to minimize signal bandwidth. however, ds2 is subject to being temporarily ?blinded? by strong noise pulses, which can cause burst data errors. note that ds1 is active when ds2 is used, as rxdata is the logical and of the ds1 and ds2 outputs. ds2 can be disabled by leaving thld2 disconnected. a non-zero ds1 threshold is required for proper agc operation. agc control the output of the peak detector also provides an agc reset signal to the agc control function through the agc comparator. the purpose of the agc function is to extend the dynamic range of the receiver, so that the re ceiver can operate close to its transmitter when running ask and/or high data rate modulation. the onset of saturation in the output stage of rfa1 is detected and generates the agc set signal to the agc control function. the agc control function then selects the 5 db gain mode for rfa1. the agc comparator will send a reset signal when the peak detector output (multiplied by 0.8) falls below the threshold voltage for ds1. a capacitor at the agccap pin avoi ds agc ?chattering? during the time it takes for the signal to pr opagate through the low-pass filter and charge the peak detector. the agc capacitor also allows the hold-in time to be set longer than the peak detector decay time to avoid agc chattering during runs of ?0? bits in the received data stream. note that agc operation requires the peak detector to be functioning, even if ds2 is not being used. agc operation can be defeated by connecting the agccap pin to vcc. the agc can be latched on once engaged by connecting a 150 kilohm resistor between the agccap pin and ground in lieu of a capacitor. receiver pulse generato r and rf amplifier bias the receiver amplifier-sequence op eration is controlled by the pulse generator & rf amplifier bi as module, which in turn is controlled by the prate and pwidth input pins, and the power down (sleep) control signal from the bias control function. in the low data rate mode, the interval between the falling edge of one rfa1 on pulse to the rising edge of the next rfa1 on pulse t pri is set by a resistor between the prate pin and ground. the interval can be adjusted between 0.1 and 5 s. in the high data rate mode (selected at the pwidth pi n) the receiver rf amplifiers operate at a nominal 50 %-50% duty cycle. in this case, the start- to-start period t prc for on pulses to rfa1 are controlled by the prate resistor over a range of 0.1 to 1.1 s. in the low data rate mode, the pwidth pin sets the width of the on pulse t pw1 to rfa1 with a resistor to ground (the on pulse width t pw2 to rfa2 is set at 1.1 time s the pulse width to rfa1 in the low data rate mode). the on pulse width t pw1 can be adjusted between 0.55 and 1 s. however, when the pwidth pin is connected to vcc through a 1 m resi stor, the rf amplifiers operate at a nominal 50%-50% duty cycle, facilitating high data rate operation. in this case, the rf amplifiers are controlled by the prate resistor as described above. both receiver rf amplifiers are turned off by the power down control signal, which is invoked in the sleep mode. receiver mode control the receiver operating modes ? receive and power-down (sleep), are controlled by the bias control function, and are selected with the cntrl1 and cntrl0 control pins. setting cntrl1 and cntrl0 both high place the unit in the receive mode. setting cntrl1 and cntrl0 both low place the unit in the power-down (sleep) mode. cntrl1 and cntrl0 are cmos compatible inputs. these inputs must be held at a logic level; they cannot be left unconnected. receiver event timing receiver event timing is summarized in table 1. please refer to this table for the following discussions. turn-on timing the maximum time t pr required for the receive function to become operational at turn on is influenc ed by two factors. all receiver circuitry will be operational 5 ms after the supply voltage reaches 2.2 vdc. the bbout-cmpin coupling-capacitor is then dc stabilized in 3 time constants (3*t bbc ). the total turn-on time to stable receiver operation for a 10 ms power supply rise time is: t pr = 15 ms + 3*t bbc
?2010-2014 by murata electronics n.a., inc. RX6000 (r) 10/20/14 page 7 of 10 www.murata.com sleep and wake-up timing the maximum transition time from the receive mode to the power- down (sleep) mode t rs is 10 s after cntrl1 and cntrl0 are both low (1 s fall time). the maximum transition time t sr from the sleep mode to the receive mode is 3*t bbc , where t bbc is the bbout-cmpin coupling-capacitor time constant. when the operating temperature is limited to 60 oc, the time required to switch from sleep to receive is dramatically less for short sleep times, as less charge leaks away from the bbout- cmpin coupling capacitor. agc timing the maximum agc engage time t agc is 5 s after the reception of a -30 dbm rf signal with a 1 s envelope rise time. the minimum agc hold-in time is set by the value of the capacitor at the agccap pin. the hold-in time t agh = c agc /19.1, where t agh is in s and c agc is in pf. peak detector timing the peak detector attack time constant is set by the value of the capacitor at the pkdet pin. the attack time t pka = c pkd /4167, where t pka is in s and c pkd is in pf. the peak detector decay time constant t pkd = 1000*t pka . pulse generator timing in the low data rate mode, the interval t pri between the falling edge of an on pulse to the first rf am plifier and the rising edge of the next on pulse to the first rf amplifier is set by a resistor r pr between the prate pin and ground. the interval can be adjusted between 0.1 and 5 s with a resistor in the range of 51 k to 2000 k. the value of the r pr is given by: r pr = 404* t pri + 10.5, where t pri is in s, and r pr is in kilohms in the high data rate mode (selected at the pwidth pin) the receiver rf amplifiers operate at a nominal 50%-50% duty cycle. in this case, the period t prc from the start of an on pulse to the first rf amplifier to the start of the next on pulse to the first rf amplifier is controlled by the prate resistor over a range of 0.1 to 1.1 s using a resistor of 11 k to 220 k. in this case r pr is given by: r pr = 198* t prc - 8.51, where t prc is in s and r pr is in kilohms in the low data rate mode, the pwidth pin sets the width of the on pulse to the first rf amplifier t pw1 with a resistor r pw to ground (the on pulse width to the second rf amplifier t pw2 is set at 1.1 times the pulse width to the first rf amplifier in the low data rate mode). the on pulse width t pw1 can be adjusted between 0.55 and 1 s with a resistor value in the range of 200 k to 390 k. the value of r pw is given by: r pw = 404* t pw1 - 18.6, where t pw1 is in s and r pw is in kilohms however, when the pwidth pin is connected to vcc through a 1 m resistor, the rf amplifiers operate at a nominal 50%-50% duty cycle, facilitating high da ta rate operation. in this case, the rf amplifiers are controlled by th e prate resistor as described above. lpf group delay the low-pass filter group delay is a function of the filter 3 db bandwidth, which is set by a resistor r lpf to ground at the lpfadj pin. the minimum 3 db bandwidth f lpf = 1445/r lpf , where f lpf is in khz, and r lpf is in kilohms. the maximum group delay t fgd = 1750/f lpf = 1.21*r lpf , where t fgd is in s, f lpf in khz, and r lpf in kilohms. receiver event timing, 3.0 vdc, -40 to +85 c event symbol time min/ max test conditions notes turn on to receive t pr 3*t bbc + 15 ms max 10 ms supply voltage rise time time until receiver operational sleep to rx t sr 3*t bbc max 1 s cntrl0/cntrol 1 rise times time until receiver operational rx to sleep t rs 10 s max 1 s cntrl0/cntrol 1 fall times time until receiver is in power-down mode agc engage t agc 5 s max 1 s rise time, -30 dbm signal rfa1 switches from 35 to 5 db gain age hold-in t agh c agc /19.1 min cagc in pf, t agh in s user selected; longer than t pkd pkdet attack time constant t pka c pkd /4167 min c pkd in pf, t pka in s user selected pkdet decay time constant t pkd 1000*t pka min t pkd and t pka in s slaved to attack time prate interval t pri 0.1 to 5 s range low data rate mode user selected mode pwidth rfa1 t pw1 0.55 to 1 s range low data rate mode user selected mode pwidth rfa2 t pw2 1.1*t pw1 range low data rate mode user selected mode prate cycle t prc 0.1 to 1.1 s range high data rate mode user selected mode pwidth high (rfa1 & rfa2) t pwh 0.05 to 0.55 s range high data rate mode user selected mode lpf group delay t fgd 1750/f lpf max t fgd in s, f lpf in khz user selected lpf 3 db bandwidth f lpf 1445/r lpf min f lpf in khz, r lpf in kilohms user selected bbout-cmpin time constant t bbc 0.064*c bbo min t bbc in s, c bbo in pf user selected table 1

source, and decays through a 200 k load. the peak detector is used to drive the ?db-below-peak? data slicer and the agc release f unction. the agc hold-in time can be extended beyond the peak detector decay time with the agc capacitor, as discussed above. where low data rates and ook modulation are used, the ?db-below -peak? data slicer and the agc are opti onal. in this case, the pkdet pin and the thld2 pin can be left unconnected, and the agc pin can be connected to vcc to reduce the number of external compo- nents needed. the peak detector capacitor is discha rged in the receiver power-down (sleep) mode. 5 bbout bbout is the receiver base-band output pin. this pin drives the cmpi n pin through a coupling capacitor c bbo for internal data slicer operation. the time constant t bbc for this connection is: t bbc = 0.064*c bbo , where t bbc is in s and c bbo is in pf a 10% ceramic capacitor should be used between bbout and cmpin. the time constant can vary between t bbc and 1.8*t bbc with variations in supply voltage, temperature, etc. the optimum time constant in a given circumstance will depend on the data rate, data run length, and other factors as discussed in the ash transceiver designer?s guide . a common criteria is to set the time constant for no more than a 20% voltage droop during sp max . for this case: c bbo = 70*sp max , where sp max is the maximum signal pulse width in s and c bbo is in pf the output from this pin can also be used to drive an external data recovery proces s (dsp, etc.). the nominal output imped- ance of this pin is 1 k. when the receiver rf amplifiers are operating at a 50%-50% duty cycle, the bbout signal changes about 10 mv/db, with a peak-to-peak signal level of up to 685 mv. for lower duty cycles, the mv/db slope and peak-to-peak signal level are proportionately less. the signal at bbout is riding on a 1.1 vdc value that varies somewhat with supply volt- age and temperature, so it should be coupled through a capaci tor to an external load. a load impedance of 50 k to 500 k in parallel with no more than 10 pf is recommended. when an exte rnal data recovery process is used with agc, bbout must be coupled to the external data recovery process and cmpin by separate series coupling capacitors. the agc reset function is driven by the signal applied to cmpin. when the receiver is in power-down (sleep) mode, the output impedance of this pin becomes very high, preserving t he charge on the coupling capacitor. 6 cmpin this pin is the input to the inter nal data slicers. it is driven from bbout through a coupling capacitor. the input imped ance of this pin is 70 k to 100 k. 7 rxdata rxdata is the receiver data output pi n. this pin will drive a 10 pf, 500 k parallel load. the peak current available fro m this pin increases with the receiver low-pa ss filter cutoff frequency. in the power-down (sleep) mode, this pin becomes high impedance. if required, a 1000 k pull-up or pull-down resistor can be used to establish a definite logic state when this pin is high impedance. if a pull-up resistor is used, the positive su pply end should be connected to a voltage no greater than vcc + 200 mv. 8 nc this pin may be left unconnected or may be grounded.

data slicer (ds2) threshold adjust pin. the threshold is set by a 0 to 200 k resistor r th2 between this pin and rref. increasing the value of the resi stor decreases the threshold below the peak detector value (increases difference) from 0 to 120 mv. for most applications, th is threshold should be set at 6 db below peak, or 60 mv for a 50%-50% rf amplifier duty cycle. the value of the th ld2 resistor is given by: r th2 = 1.67*v, where r th2 is in kilohms and the threshold v is in mv a 1% resistor tolerance is recommended for the thld2 resi stor. leaving the thld2 pin open disables the db-below-peak data slicer operation. 13 thld1 the thld1 pin sets the threshold for the standard data slicer (ds1) through a resistor r th1 to rref. the threshold is increased by increasing the resistor value. connecting this pin directly to rref pr ovides zero threshold. the value of the resistor depends on whether thld2 is used. for the case that th ld2 is not used, the acceptable range for the resistor is 0 to 100 k, providing a thld1 range of 0 to 90 mv. the resistor value is given by: r th1 = 1.11*v, where r th1 is in kilohms and the threshold v is in mv for the case that thld2 is used, the acceptable range for the thld1 resistor is 0 to 200 k, again providing a thld1 range of 0 to 90 mv. the resistor value is given by: r th1 = 2.22*v, where r th1 is in kilohms and the threshold v is in mv a 1% resistor tolerance is recommended for the thld1 resistor . note that a non-zero ds1 threshold is required for proper agc operation. 14 prate the interval between the falling edge of an on pulse to the first rf amplifier and the rising edge of the next on pulse to the first rf amplifier t pri is set by a resistor r pr between this pin and ground. the interval t pri can be adjusted between 0.1 and 5 s with a resistor in the range of 51 k to 2000 k. the value of r pr is given by: r pr = 404* t pri + 10.5, where t pri is in s, and r pr is in kilohms a 5% resistor value is recommended. when the pwidth pin is connected to vcc through a 1 m resistor, the rf amplifiers operate at a nominal 50%-50% duty cycle, facilitating high data rate operation. in this case, the period t prc from start-to-start of on pulses to the first rf amplifier is controlled by the prate resistor over a rang e of 0.1 to 1.1 s using a resistor of 11 k to 220 k. in this case the value of r pr is given by: r pr = 198* t prc - 8.51, where t prc is in s and r pr is in kilohms a 5% resistor value should also be us ed in this case. please refer to the ash transceiver designer?s guide for additional amplifier duty cycle information. it is important to keep the total capacitance between ground, vcc and this pin to less than 5 pf to maintain stability. 15 pwidth the pwidth pin sets the width of the on pulse to the first rf amplifier t pw1 with a resistor r pw to ground (the on pulse width to the second rf amplifier t pw2 is set at 1.1 times the pulse width to t he first rf amplifier). the on pulse width t pw1 can be adjusted between 0.55 and 1 s with a resistor value in the range of 200 k to 390 k. the value of r pw is given by: r pw = 404* t pw1 - 18.6, where t pw1 is in s and r pw is in kilohms a 5% resistor value is recommended. when th is pin is connected to vcc through a 1 m resistor, the rf amplifiers operate at a nominal 50%-50% duty cycle, facilitating hi gh data rate operation. in this case, the rf amplifier on times are controlled by the prate resistor as described above. it is important to keep the total capacitance between ground, vcc and this node to less than 5 pf to maintain stability. when using the high dat a rate operation with the sleep mode, connect the 1 m resistor between this pin and cntrl1 (pin 17), so this pin is low in the sleep mode. 16 vcc2 vcc2 is the positive supply voltage pi n for the receiver rf section. this pin mu st be bypassed with an rf capacitor, whic h may be shared with vcc1. vcc2 must also be bypassed with a 1 to 10 f tantalum or electrolytic capacitor. 17 cntrl1 cntrl1 and cntrl0 select the receiver modes. cntrl1 and cntrl0 both high place the unit in the receive mode. cntrl1 and cntrl0 both low place the unit in the power-dow n (sleep) mode. cntrl1 is a high-impedance input (cmos compatible). an input voltage of 0 to 300 mv is interpreted as a logic low. an input voltage of vcc - 300 mv or greater is inte r- preted as a logic high. an input voltage greater than vcc + 200 mv should not be applied to this pin. a logic high requires a maximum source current of 40 a. sleep mode requires a maximu m sink current of 1 a. this pin must be held at a logic level; it cannot be left unconnected.
