FUNCTIONAL BLOCK DIAGRAM

GENERAL DESCRIPTION

The ADF7023-J is a very low power, high performance, highly integrated 2FSK/GFSK/MSK/GMSK transceiver designed for operation in the 902 MHz to 958 MHz frequency band, which covers the ARIB Standard T96 band at 950 MHz. Data rates from 1 kbps to 300 kbps are supported.

The transmit RF synthesizer contains a VCO and a low noise fractional-N phase locked loop (PLL) with an output channel frequency resolution of 400 Hz. The VCO operates at twice the fundamental frequency to reduce spurious emissions. The receive and transmit synthesizer bandwidths are automatically, and independently, configured to achieve optimum phase noise, modulation quality, and settling time. The transmitter output power is programmable from −20 dBm to +13.5 dBm, with automatic PA ramping to meet transient spurious specifications. The part possesses both single-ended and differential PAs, which allow for Tx antenna diversity.

The receiver is exceptionally linear, achieving an IP3 specification of −12.2 dBm and −11.5 dBm at maximum gain and minimum gain, respectively, and an IP2 specification of 18.5 dBm and 27 dBm at maximum gain and minimum gain, respectively. The receiver achieves an interference blocking specification of 66 dB at a ±2 MHz offset and 74 dB at a ±10 MHz offset. Thus, the part is extremely resilient to the presence of interferers in spectrally noisy environments. The receiver features a novel, high speed, AFC loop, allowing the PLL to find and correct any RF frequency errors in the recovered packet. A patent pending image rejection calibration scheme is available by downloading the image rejection calibration firmware module to program RAM. The algorithm does not require the use of an external RF source nor does it require any user intervention once initiated. The results of the

Rev. A | Page 4 of 104

calibration can be stored in nonvolatile memory for use on subsequent power-ups of the transceiver.

The ADF7023-J operates with a power supply range of 2.2 V to

3.6 V and has very low power consumption in both Tx and Rx modes, enabling long lifetimes in battery-operated systems while maintaining excellent RF performance. The device can enter a low power sleep mode in which the configuration settings are retained in the battery backup random access memory (BBRAM).

The ADF7023-J features an ultralow power, on-chip, communications processor. The communications processor, which is an 8-bit RISC processor, performs the radio control, packet management, and smart wake mode (SWM) functionality. The communications processor eases the processing burden of the companion processor by integrating the lower layers of a typical communication protocol stack. The communications processor also permits the download and execution of firmware modules. Available modules include image rejection (IR) calibration, advanced encryption standard (AES) encryption, and Reed-Solomon coding. These firmware modules are available online at ftp://ftp.analog.com/pub/RFL/FirmwareModules.

The communications processor provides a simple command-based radio control interface for the host processor. A single-byte command transitions the radio between states or performs a radio function.

The communications processor provides support for generic packet formats. The packet format is highly flexible and fully programmable, thereby ensuring its compatibility with proprietary packet profiles. In transmit mode, the communications processor can be configured to add preamble, sync word, and CRC to the payload data stored in packet RAM. In receive mode, the

Data Sheet ADF7023-J

communications processor can detect and interrupt the host processor on reception of preamble, sync word, address, and CRC and store the received payload to packet RAM. The ADF7023-J uses an efficient interrupt system comprising MAC level interrupts and PHY level interrupts that can be individually set. The payload data plus the 16-bit CRC can be encoded/decoded using Manchester or 8b/10b encoding. Alternatively, data whitening and dewhitening can be applied.

The SWM allows the ADF7023-J to wake up autonomously from sleep using the internal wake-up timer without intervention from the host processor. After wake-up, the ADF7023-J is controlled by the communications processor. This functionality allows carrier sense, packet sniffing, and packet reception while the host processor is in sleep, thereby reducing overall system current consumption. The smart wake mode can wake the host processor on an interrupt condition. These interrupt conditions can be configured to include the reception of valid preamble, sync word, CRC, or address match. Wake -up from sleep mode can also be triggered by the host processor. For systems requiring

very accurate wake-up timing, a 32 kHz oscillator can be used to drive the wake-up timer. Alternatively, the internal RC oscillator can be used, which gives lower current consumption in sleep.

The ADF7023-J features an AES engine with hardware acceleration that provides 128-bit block encryption and decryption with key sizes of 128 bits, 192 bits, and 256 bits. Both electronic code book (ECB) and Cipher Block Chaining Mode 1 (CBC Mode 1) are supported. The AES engine can be used to encrypt/decrypt packet data and can be used as a standalone engine for encryption/decryption by the host processor. The AES engine is enabled on the ADF7023-J by downloading the AES firmware module to program RAM.

An on-chip, 8-bit ADC provides readback of an external analog input, the RSSI signal, or an integrated temperature sensor. An integrated battery voltage monitor raises an interrupt flag to the host processor whenever the battery voltage drops below a userdefined threshold.

RADIO CONTROL

The ADF7023-J has five radio states designated PHY_SLEEP, PHY_OFF, PHY_ON, PHY_TX, and PHY_RX. The host processor can transition the ADF7023-J between states by issuing single

byte commands over the SPI interface. The various commands and states are illustrated in Figure 47. The communications processor handles the sequencing of various radio circuits and critical timing functions, thereby simplifying radio operation and easing the burden on the host processor.

RADIO STATES

PHY_SLEEP

In this state, the device is in a low power sleep mode. To enter the state, issue the CMD_PHY_SLEEP command, either from the PHY_OFF or PHY_ON state. To wake the radio from the state, set the RC or 32.768 kHz crystal) to wake the radio from this state. The wake-up timer should be set up before entering the PHY_SLEEP state. If retention of BBRAM contents is not required, Deep

Sleep Mode 2 can be used to further reduce the PHY_SLEEP

state current consumption. Deep Sleep Mode 2 is entered by

issuing the CMD_HW_RESET command. The options for

the PHY_SLEEP state are detailed in Table 10. When in

PHY_SLEEP, the IRQ_GP3 interrupt pin is held at logic low

while the other GPIO pins are in a high impedance state.

PHY_OFF

In the PHY_OFF state, the 26 MHz crystal, the digital regulator, and the synthesizer regulator are powered up. All memories are fully accessible. The BBRAM registers must be valid before exiting this state.

PHY_ON

In the PHY_ON state, along with the crystal, the digital regulator, the synthesizer regulator, the VCO, and the RF regulators are

powered up. A baseband filter calibration is performed when

this state is entered from the PHY_OFF state if the BB_CAL bit

in the MODE_CONTROL register (Address 0x11A) is set. The

pin low or use the wake-up controller (32.768 kHz

device is ready to operate, and the PHY_TX and PHY_RX states can be entered.

PHY_TX

In the PHY_TX state, the synthesizer is enabled and calibrated. The power amplifier is enabled, and the device transmits at the channel frequency defined by the CHANNEL_FREQ[23:0] setting (Address 0x109 to Address 0x10B). The state is entered by issuing the CMD_PHY_TX command. The device automatically transmits the transmit packet stored in the packet RAM. After transmission of the packet, the PA is disabled, and the device automatically returns to the PHY_ON state and can, optionally, generate an interrupt.

In sport mode, the device transmits the data present on the GP2 pin as described in the Sport Mode section. The host processor must issue the CMD_PHY_ON command to exit the PHY_TX state when in sport mode.

PHY_RX

In the PHY_RX state, the synthesizer is enabled and calibrated. The ADC, RSSI, IF filter, mixer, and LNA are enabled. The radio is in receive mode on the channel frequency defined by the CHANNEL_FREQ[23:0] setting (Address 0x109 to Address 0x10B).

After reception of a valid packet, the device returns to the PHY_ON state and can, optionally, generate an interrupt. In sport mode, the device remains in the PHY_RX state until the CMD_PHY_ON command is issued.

Current Consumption

The typical current consumption in each state is detailed in Table 10.

Table 10. Current Consumption in ADF7023-J Radio States

PHY_SLEEP (Deep Sleep Mode 2) 0.18 µA Wake-up timer off, BBRAM contents not retained, entered by

INITIALIZATION

Initialization After Application of Power

When power is applied to the ADF7023-J (through the VDDBAT1/VDDBAT2 pins), it registers a power-on reset (POR) event and transitions to the PHY_OFF state. The BBRAM memory is unknown, the packet RAM memory is cleared to 0x00, and the MCR memory is reset to its default values. The host processor should use the following procedure to complete the initialization sequence:

1. Bring the

output goes high.

2. Issue the CMD_SYNC command.

3. Wait for the CMD_READY bit in the status word to go high.

4. Configure the part by writing to all 64 of the BBRAM

registers.

5. Issue the CMD_CONFIG_DEV command so that the

radio settings are updated using the BBRAM values.

The ADF7023-J is now configured in the PHY_OFF state.

Initialization After Issuing the CMD_HW_RESET Command

The CMD_HW_RESET command performs a full power-down of all hardware, and the device enters the PHY_SLEEP state. To complete the hardware reset, the host processor should complete the following procedure:

1. Wai t for 1 ms.

2. Bring the

output goes high. The ADF7023-J registers a POR and enters the PHY_OFF state.

3. Issue the CMD_SYNC command.

4. Wait for the CMD_READY bit in the status word to go high.

5. Configure the part by writing to all 64 of the BBRAM registers.

registered as a POR event because the BBRAM contents are valid. The following is the procedure that the host processor is required to follow:

1. Bring the

2. Issue the CMD_SYNC command.

3. Wait for the CMD_READY bit in the status word to go high.

4. Issue the CMD_CONFIG_DEV command so that the

radio settings are updated using the BBRAM values.

The ADF7023-J is now configured and ready to transition to the PHY_ON state.

Initialization After a WUC Timeout

The ADF7023-J can autonomously wake from the PHY_SLEEP state using the wake-up controller. If the ADF7023-J wakes after a WUC timeout in smart wake mode (SWM), it follows the SWM routine based on the smart wake mode configuration in BBRAM (see the Low Power Modes section). If the ADF7023-J wakes after a WUC timeout with SWM disabled and the firmware timer disabled, it wakes in the PHY_OFF state, and the following is the procedure that the host processor is required to follow:

1. Issue the CMD_SYNC command.

2. Wait for the CMD_READY bit in the status word to go high.

3. Issue the CMD_CONFIG_DEV command so that the

radio settings are updated using the BBRAM values.

The ADF7023-J is now configured in the PHY_OFF state.

CMD_CONFIG_DEV (0xBB)

This command interprets the BBRAM contents and configures each of the radio parameters based on these contents. It can be issued from the PHY_OFF or PHY_ON state. The only radio parameter that is not configured on this command is the CHANNEL_FREQ[23:0] setting, which instead is configured as part of a CMD_PHY_TX or CMD_PHY_RX command.

The user should write to the entire 64 bytes of the BBRAM and then issue the CMD_CONFIG_DEV command, which can be issued in the PHY_OFF or PHY_ON state.

CMD_GET_RSSI (0xBC)

This command turns on the receiver, performs an RSSI measurement on the current channel, and returns the ADF7023-J to the PHY_ON state. The command can be issued from the PHY_ON

state. The RSSI result is saved to the RSSI_READBACK register

(Address 0x312). This command can be issued from the

PHY_ON state only.

Rev. A | Page 31 of 104

CMD_BB_CAL (0xBE)

This command performs an IF filter calibration. It can be issued only in the PHY_ON state. In many cases, it may not be necessary to use this command because an IF filter calibration is automatically performed on the PHY_OFF to PHY_ON transition if BB_CAL = 1 in the MODE_CONTROL register (Address 0x11A).

CMD_SYNC (0xA2)

This command is used to allow the host processor and communications processor to establish communications. It is required to issue a CMD_SYNC command during each of the following scenarios:

• After application of power

• On a WUC wake-up

• After a CMD_HW_RESET

• After a CMD_RAM_LOAD_DONE command has

been issued

After issuing a CMD_SYNC command, the host processor should wait until the CMD_READY status bit is high (see the Initialization section). This process ensures that the next command issued by the host processor is processed by the communications processor. See the Initialization section for further details on using a CMD_SYNC command.

CMD_HW_RESET (0xC8)

The command performs a full power-down of all hardware, and the device enters the PHY_SLEEP state. This command can be issued in any state and is independent of the state of the communications processor. The procedure for initialization of the device after a CMD_HW_RESET command is described in detail in the Initialization section.

CMD_RAM_LOAD_INIT (0xBF)

This command prepares the communications processor for a subsequent download of a software module to program RAM. This command should be issued only prior to the program RAM being written to by the host processor.

CMD_RAM_LOAD_DONE (0xC7)

This command is required only after download of a software module to program RAM. It indicates to the communications processor that a software module is loaded to program RAM. The CMD_RAM_LOAD_DONE command can be issued only in the PHY_OFF state. The command resets the communications processor and the packet RAM. This command should be followed by a CMD_SYNC command.

CMD_IR_CAL (0xBD)

This command performs a fully automatic image rejection calibration on the ADF7023-J receiver.

This command requires that the IR calibration firmware module has been loaded to the ADF7023-J program RAM. The firmware module is available from Analog Devices, Inc.. For more information, see the Downloadable Firmware Modules section.

ADF7023-J Data Sheet

CMD_AES_ENCRYPT (0xD0), CMD_AES_DECRYPT (0xD2), and CMD_AES_DECRYPT_INIT (0xD1)

These commands allow AES, 128-bit block encryption and decryption of transmit and receive data using key sizes of 128 bits, 192 bits, or 256 bits.

The AES commands require that the AES firmware module has been loaded to the ADF7023-J program RAM. The AES firmware module is available from Analog Devices. See the Downloadable Firmware Modules section for details on the AES encryption and decryption module.

CMD_RS_ENCODE_INIT (0xD1), CMD_RS_ENCODE (0xD0), and CMD_RS_DECODE (0xD2)

These commands perform Reed-Solomon encoding and decoding of transmit and receive data, thereby allowing detection and correction of errors in the received packet.

These commands require that the Reed-Solomon firmware module has been loaded to the ADF7023-J program RAM. The Reed-Solomon firmware module is available from Analog Devices. See the Downloadable Firmware Modules section for details on this module.

AUTOMATIC STATE TRANSITIONS

On certain events, the communications processor can automatically transition the ADF7023-J between states. These automatic transitions are illustrated as dashed lines in Figure 47 and are explained in this section.

TX_EOF

The communications processor automatically transitions the device from the PHY_TX state to the PHY_ON state at the end of a packet transmission. On the transition, the communications processor performs the following actions:

1. Ramps down the PA.

2. Sets the external PA signal low.

3. Disables the digital transmitter blocks.

4. Powers down the synthesizer.

5. Sets FW_STAT E = PHY_ON.

3. Disables the digital receiver blocks.

4. Powers down the synthesizer and the receiver circuitry

(ADC, RSSI, IF filter, mixer, and LNA).

5. Sets FW_STAT E = PHY_ON.

RX_TO_TX_AUTO_TURNAROUND

If the RX_TO_TX_AUTO_TURNAROUND bit in the MODE_ CONTROL register (Address 0x11A) is enabled, the device automatically transitions to the PHY_TX state at the end of a valid packet reception, on the same RF channel frequency. On the transition, the communications processor performs the following actions:

1. Sets the external LNA signal low.

2. Unlocks the AGC and AFC (if enabled).

3. Disables the digital receiver blocks.

4. Powers down the receiver circuitry (ADC, RSSI, IF filter,

1. Ramps down the PA.

2. Sets the external PA signal low.

3. Disables the digital transmitter blocks.

4. Powers up the receiver circuitry (ADC, RSSI, IF filter, mixer,

11. Sets the external LNA signal high (if enabled).

12. Sets FW_STATE = PHY_RX.

In sport mode, the TX_TO_RX_AUTO_TURNAROUND transition is disabled.

WUC Timeout

The ADF7023-J can use the WUC to wake from sleep on a timeout of the hardware timer. The device wakes into the PHY_OFF state. See the WUC Mode section for further details.

STATE TRANSITION AND COMMAND TIMING

The execution times for all radio state transitions are detailed in Table 11 and Table 12. Note that these times are typical and can vary, depending on the BBRAM configuration. For normal transition times, set TRANSITION_CLOCK_DIV (location 0x13A) to 0x04. For fast transition times, set TRANSITION_CLOCK_DIV to 0x01.

As stated in the SPI Interface section, commands are executed on the last positive SCLK edge of the command. For the measured values given in Table 11and Ta b l e 12 there is 200 ns between the last positive SCLK edge and the rising edge of CS.

SPORT MODE

It is possible to bypass all of the packet management features of the ADF7023-J and use the sport interface for transmit and receive data. The sport interface is a high speed synchronous serial interface allowing direct interfacing to processors and DSPs. Sport mode is enabled using the DATA_MODE setting in the PACKET_LENGTH_CONTROL register (Address 0x126), as described in Ta b l e 13. The sport mode interface is on the GPIO pins (GP0, GP1, GP2, GP4, and XOSC32KP_GP5_ATB1). These GPIO pins can be configured using the GPIO_CONFIGURE setting (Address 0x3FA), as described in Ta b l e 14.

Sport mode provides a receive interrupt source on GP4. This interrupt source can be configured to provide an interrupt, or strobe signal, on either preamble detection or sync word detection. The type of interrupt is configured using the GPIO_CONFIGURE setting.

PACKET STRUCTURE IN SPORT MODE

In sport mode, the host processor has full control over the packet structure. However, the preamble frame is still required to allow sufficient bits for receiver settling (AGC, AFC, and CDR). In sport mode, sync word detection is not mandatory in the ADF7023-J but can be enabled to provide byte level synchronization for the host processor via the sync word detect interrupt or strobe on GP4. The general format of a sport mode packet is shown in Figure 48.

Figure 48. General Sport Mode Packet

SPORT MODE IN TRANSMIT

Figure 49 illustrates the operation of the sport interface in transmit. Once in the PHY_TX state with sport mode enabled, the data input of the transmitter is fully controlled by the sport interface (Pin GP1). The transmit clock appears on the GP2 pin. The transmit data from the host processor should be synchronized with this clock. The FW_STATE variable in the status word (see

the Sta t us Wo r d section) or the CMD_FINISHED interrupt (see the Interrupts in Sport Mode section) can be used to indicate when the ADF7023-J has reached the PHY_TX state and, therefore, is ready to begin transmitting data. The ADF7023-J keeps transmitting the serial data presented at the GP1 input until the host processor issues a command to exit the PHY_TX state.

SPORT MODE IN RECEIVE

The sport interface supports the receive operation with a number of modes to suit particular signaling requirements. The receive data appears on the GP0 pin, whereas the receive synchronized clock appears on the GP2 pin. The GP4 pin provides a dedicated SPORT mode interrupt or strobe signal on either preamble or sync word detection, as described in Table 13 and Table 14. Once enabled, the interrupt signal and strobe signals remain operational while in the PHY_RX state. The strobe signal gives a single high pulse of 1-bit duration every eight bits. The strobe signal is most useful when used with sync word detection because it is synchronized to the sync word and strobes the first bit in every byte.

In SPORT mode, IRQ_GP3 retains its normal interrupt functionality for INTERRUPT_SOURCE_1; however, only INTERRUPT_PREAMBLE_DETECT and INTERRUPT_ SYNC_DETECT are available from INTERRUPT_SOURCE_0. Refer to the Interrupt Generation section for more details.

TRANSMIT BIT LATENCIES IN SPORT MODE

The transmit bit latency is the time from the sampling of a bit by the transmit data clock on GP2 to when that bit appears at the RF output. There is no transmit bit latency when using 2FSK/MSK modulation. The latency when using GFSK/GMSK modulation is two bits. It is important that the host processor keep the ADF7023-J in the PHY_TX state for two bit periods after the last data bit is sampled by the data clock to account for this latency when using GMSK/GFSK modulation.

PACKET MODE

The on-chip communications processor can be configured for use with a wide variety of packet-based radio protocols using 2FSK/GFSK/MSK/GMSK modulation. The general packet format, when using the packet management features of the communications processor, is illustrated in Tab l e 16. To use the packet management features, the DATA _MODE setting in the PACKET_LENGTH_CONTROL register (Address 0x126) should be set to packet mode; 240 bytes of dedicated packet RAM are available to store, transmit, and receive packets. In transmit mode, preamble, sync word, and CRC can be added by the communications processor to the data stored in the packet RAM for transmission. In addition, all packet data after the sync word can be optionally whitened, Manchester encoded, or 8b/10b encoded on transmission and decoded on reception.

In receive mode, the communications processor can be used to qualify received packets based on the preamble detection, sync word detection, CRC detection, or address match and generate an interrupt on the IRQ_GP3 pin. On reception of a valid packet, the received payload data is loaded to packet RAM memory. More information on interrupts is contained in the Interrupt Generation section.

PREAMBLE

The preamble is a mandatory part of the packet that is automatically added by the communications processor when transmitting a packet and removed after receiving a packet. The preamble is a 0x55 sequence, with a programmable length between 1 byte and 256 bytes, that is set in the PREAMBLE_LEN register

(Address 0x11D). It is necessary to have preamble at the beginning of the packet to allow time for the receiver AGC, AFC, and clock and data recovery circuitry to settle before the start of the sync word. The required preamble length depends on the radio configuration. See the Radio Blocks section for more details.

In receive mode, the ADF7023-J can use a preamble qualification circuit to detect preamble and interrupt the host proce ssor. The preamble qualification circuit tracks the received frame as a sliding window. The window is three bytes in length, and the preamble pattern is fixed at 0x55. The preamble bits are examined in 01pairs. If either bit or both bits are in error, the pair is deemed erroneous. The possible erroneous pairs are 00, 11, and 10. The number of erroneous pairs tolerated in the preamble can be set using the PREAMBLE_MATCH register value (Address 0x11B) according to Ta bl e 15.

Table 15. Preamble Detection Tolerance (PREAMBLE_MATCH, Address 0x11B)

If PREAMBLE_MATCH is set to 0x0C, the ADF7023-J must receive 12 consecutive 01 pairs (three bytes) to confirm that valid preamble has been detected. The user can select the option to automatically lock the AFC and/or AGC once the qualified preamble is detected. The AFC lock on preamble detection can be enabled by setting AFC_LOCK_MODE = 3 in the RADIO_CFG_10 register (Address 0x116). The AGC lock on preamble detection can be enabled by setting AGC_LOCK_

MODE = 3 in the RADIO_CFG_7 register (Address 0x113).

After the preamble is detected and the end of preamble has been reached, the communications processor searches for the sync word. The search for the sync word lasts for a duration equal to the sum of the number of programmed sync word bits, plus the preamble matching tolerance (in bits) plus 16 bits. If the sync word routine is detected during this duration, the communications processor loads the received payload to packet RAM and computes the CRC (if enabled). If the sync word routine is not detected during this duration, the communications processor continues searching for the preamble.

Preamble detection can be disabled by setting the PREAMBLE_ MATCH register to 0x00. To enable an interrupt upon preamble detection, the user must set INTERRUPT_PREAMBLE_DETECT = 1 in the INTERRUPT_MASK_0 register (Address 0x100).

SYNC WORD

Sync word is the synchronization word used by the receiver for byte level synchronization while also providing an optional interrupt on detection. It is automatically added to the packet by the communications processor in transmit mode and removed during reception of a packet.

The value of the sync word is set in the SYNC_BYTE_0, SYNC_BYTE_1, and SYNC_BYTE_2 registers (Address 0x121, Address 0x122, and Address 0x123, respectively). The sync word is transmitted most significant bit first starting with SYNC_BYTE_0. The sync word matching length at the receiver is set using SYNC_WORD_LENGTH in the SYNC_CONTROL register (Address 0x120) and can be one bit to 24 bits long; the transmitted sync word is a multiple of eight bits. Therefore, for nonbyte length sync words, the transmitted sync pattern should be appended with the preamble pattern as described in Figure 53 and Table 18.

In receive mode, the ADF7023-J can provide an interrupt on reception of the sync word sequence programmed in the SYNC_BYTE_0, SYNC_BYTE_1, and SYNC_BYTE_2 registers. This feature can be used to alert the host processor that a qualified sync word has been received. An error tolerance parameter can also be programmed that accepts a valid match when up to three bits of the sync word sequence are incorrect. The error tolerance value is set using the SYNC_ERROR_TOL setting in the SYNC_CONTROL register (Address 0x120), as described in Table 17.

Table 17. Sync Word Detection Tolerance (SYNC_ERROR_TOL, Bits[7:6] of Address 0x120)

Choice of Sync Word

The sync word should be chosen to have low correlation with the preamble and have good autocorrelation properties. When the AFC is set to lock on detection of sync word (AFC_LOCK_MODE = 3 and PREAMBLE_MATCH = 0), the sync word should be chosen to be dc free, and it should have a run length limit not greater than four bits.

PAYLOAD

The host processor writes the transmit data payload to the packet RAM. The location of the transmit data in the packet RAM is defined by the TX_BASE_ADR value register (Address 0x124). The TX_BASE_ADR value is the location of the first byte of the transmit payload data in the packet RAM. On reception of a valid sync word, the communications processor automatically loads the receive payload to the packet RAM. The RX_BASE_ADR register value (Address 0x125) sets the location in the packet RAM of the first byte of the received payload. For more details on packet RAM memory, see the ADF7023-J Memory Map section.

Byte Orientation

The over-the-air arrangement of each transmitted packet RAM byte can be set to MSB first or LSB first using the DATA _BYTE setting in the PACKET_LENGTH_CONTROL register (Address 0x126). The same orientation setting should be used on the transmit and receive sides of the RF link.

Packet Length Modes

The ADF7023-J can be used in both fixed and variable length packet systems. Fixed or variable length packet mode is set using the PACK E T_LEN variable setting in the PACKET_ LENGTH_CONTROL register (Address 0x126).

For a fixed packet length system, the length of the transmit and received payload is set by the PAC KE T _LENGTH_MAX register (Address 0x127). The payload length is defined as the number of bytes from the end of the sync word to the start of the CRC.

In variable packet length mode, the communications processor extracts the length field from the received payload data. In transmit mode, the length field must be the first byte in the transmit payload.

Rev. A | Page 42 of 104

SYNC_ BYTE_2

Transmitted Sync Word (Binary, First Bit Being First in Time)

The communications processor calculates the actual received payload length as

RxPayload Length = Length + LENGTH_OFFSET − 4

where:

Length is the length field (the first byte in the received payload). LENGTH_OFFSET is a programmable offset (set in the

PACK E T_LENGTH_CONTROL register (Address 0x126).

The LENGTH_OFFSET value allows compatibility with systems where the length field in the proprietary packet may also include the length of the CRC and/or the sync word. The

ADF7023-J defines the payload length as the number of bytes

from the end of the sync word to the start of the CRC. In variable packet length mode, the PAC KE T _LENGTH_MAX value defines the maximum packet length that can be received, as described in Figure 54.

Figure 54. Payload Length in Fixed and Variable Length Packet Modes

Addressing

The ADF7023-J provides a very flexible address-matching scheme, allowing matching of a single address, multiple addresses, and broadcast addresses. Addresses of up to 32 bits in length are supported. The address information can be included at any section of the transmit payload.

The location of the starting byte of the address data in the received payload is set in the ADDRESS_MATCH_OFFSET register (Address 0x129), as illustrated in Figure 55. The number of bytes in the first address field is set in the ADDRESS_LENGTH register (Address 0x12A). These settings allow the communications processor to extract the address information from the received packet.

The address data is then compared against a list of known addresses that are stored in BBRAM (Address 0x12B to Address 0x137). Each stored address byte has an associated mask byte, thereby allowing matching of partial sections of the address bytes, which is useful for checking broadcast addresses or a family of addresses that have a unique identifier in the address sequence. The format and placement of the address information in the payload data should match the address check settings at the receiver to ensure exact address detection and qualification. Table 19 shows the register locations in the BBRAM that are used for setup of the address checking. When Register 0x12A (number of bytes in the first address field) is set to 0x00, address checking is disabled. Note that if static register fixes are employed (see Table 90), then the space available for address matching will be reduced.

Example Address Check

Consider a system with 16-bit address lengths, in which the first byte is located in the 10

byte of the received payload data. The system also uses broadcast addresses in which the first byte is always 0xAA. To mat ch the exact address, 0xABCD or any broadcast address in the form 0xAAXX, the ADF7023-J must be configured as shown in Table 20.

To convert a user-defined polynomial to the 2-byte value, the polynomial should be written in binary format. The x

(CRC-16-DNP)

To enable CRC detection on the receiver, with the default CRC or user-defined 16-bit CRC, CRC_EN in the PACKET_LENGTH_ CONTROL register (Address 0x126) should be set to 1. An interrupt can be generated on reception of a CRC verified packet (see the Interrupt Generation section).

POSTAMBLE

The communications processor automatically appends two bytes of postamble to the end of the transmitted packet. Each byte of the postamble is 0x55. The first byte is transmitted immediately after the CRC. The PA ramp-down begins immediately after the first postamble byte. The second byte is transmitted while the PA is ramping down.

On the receiver, if the received packet is valid, the RSSI is automatically measured during the first postamble byte, and the result is stored in the RSSI_READBACK register (Address 0x312). The RSSI is measured by the communications processor 17 µs after the last CRC bit.

TRANSMIT PACKET TIMING

The PA ramp timing in relation to the transmit packet data is described in Figure 56. After the CMD_PHY_TX command is issued, a VCO calibration is carried out, followed by a delay for synthesizer settling. The PA ramp follows the synthesizer settling. After the PA is ramped up to the programmed rate, there is 1-byte delay before the start of modulation (preamble). At the beginning of the second byte of postamble, the PA ramps down. The communications processor then transitions to the PHY_ON state or the PHY_RX state (if the TX_TO_RX_AUTO_TURNAROUND is enabled or the CMD_PHY_RX command is issued).

Data Sheet ADF7023-J

DATA WHITENING

Data whitening can be employed to avoid long runs of 1s or 0s in the transmitted data stream. This ensures sufficient bit transitions in the packet, which aids in receiver clock and data recovery because the encoding breaks up long runs of 1s or 0s in the transmit packet. The data, excluding the preamble and sync word, is automatically whitened before transmission by XOR’ing the data with an 8-bit pseudorandom sequence. At the receiver, the data is XOR’ed with the same pseudorandom sequence, thereby reversing the whitening. The linear feedback shift register polynomial used is x dewhitening are enabled by setting the SYMBOL_MODE register (Address 0x11C).

MANCHESTER ENCODING

Manchester encoding can be used to ensure a dc-free (zero mean) transmission. The encoded over-the-air bit rate (chip rate) is double the rate set by the DATA _RATE variable (Address 0x10C and Address 0x10D). A Binary 0 is mapped to 10, and a Binary 1 is

mapped to 01. Manchester encoding and decoding are applied to the payload data and the CRC. Manchester encoding and decoding are enabled by setting MANCHESTER_ENC = 1 in the SYMBOL_MODE register (Address 0x11C).

8b/10b ENCODING

8b/10b encoding is a byte-orientated encoding scheme that maps an 8-bit byte to a 10-bit data block. It ensures that the maximum number of consecutive 1s or 0s (that is, run length) in any 10-bit transmitted symbol is five. The advantage of this encoding scheme is that dc balancing is employed without the efficiency loss of Manchester encoding. The rate loss for 8b/10b encoding is 0.8, whereas for Manchester encoding, it is 0.5. Encoding and decoding are applied to the payload data and the CRC. The 8b/10b encoding and decoding are enabled by setting EIGHT_TEN_ENC =1 in the SYMBOL_MODE register (Address 0x11C).

INTERRUPT GENERATION

The ADF7023-J uses a highly flexible, powerful interrupt system with support for MAC level interrupts and PHY level interrupts. To enable an interrupt source, the corresponding mask bit must be set. When an enabled interrupt occurs, the IRQ_GP3 pin goes high, and the interrupt bit of the status word is set to Logic 1. The host processor can use either the IRQ_GP3 pin or the status word to check for an interrupt. After an interrupt is asserted, the ADF7023-J continues operations unaffected, unless it is directed to do otherwise by the host processor. An outline of the interrupt source and mask system is shown in Tab l e 23.

MAC interrupts can be enabled by writing a Logic 1 to the relevant bits of the INTERRUPT_MASK_0 register (Address 0x100) and PHY level interrupts by writing a Logic 1 to the relevant bits of the INTERRUPT_MASK_1 register (Address 0x101). The structure of these memory locations is described in Tabl e 23.

In the case of an interrupt condition, the interrupt source can be determined by reading the INTERRUPT_SOURCE_0 register (Address 0x336) and the INTERRUPT_SOURCE_1 register (Address 0x337). The bit that corresponds to the relevant interrupt condition is high. The structure of these two registers is shown in Table 24.

Following an interrupt condition, the host processor should clear the relevant interrupt flag so that further interrupts assert the IRQ_GP3 pin. This is performed by writing a Logic 1 to the bit that is high in either the INTERRUPT_SOURCE_0 or the INTERRUPT_SOURCE_1 register. If multiple bits in the interrupt source registers are high, they can be cleared individually or altogether by writing Logic 1 to them. The IRQ_GP3 pin goes low when all the interrupt source bits are cleared.

As an example, take the case where a battery alarm (in the INTERRUPT_SOURCE_1 register) interrupt occurs. The host processor should do the following:

1. Read the interrupt source registers. In this example, if none

of the interrupt flags in INTERRUPT_SOURCE_0 are enabled, only INTERRUPT_SOURCE_1 must be read.

2. Clear the interrupt by writing 0x80 (or 0xFF) to

INTERRUPT_SOURCE_1.

3. Respond to the interrupt condition.

INTERRUPTS IN SPORT MODE

In sport mode, the interrupts from INTERRUPT _SOURCE_1 are all available. However, only INTERRUPT_PREAMBLE_DETECT and INTERRUPT_SYNC_DETECT are available from INTERRUPT_SOURCE_0. A second interrupt pin is provided

on GP4, which gives a dedicated sport mode interrupt on either preamble or sync word detection. For more details, see the Sport Mode section.

Following receipt of the packet in SPORT mode, re-issue the PHY_RX command to re-enable the interrupts for the next packet.

ADF7023-J MEMORY MAP

Figure 57. ADF7023-J Memory Map

This section describes the various memory locations used by the ADF7023-J. The radio control, packet management, and smart wake mode capabilities of the part are realized using an integrated RISC processor, which executes instructions stored in the embedded program ROM. There is also a local RAM, subdivided into three sections, that is used as a data packet buffer, both for transmitted and received data (packet RAM), and for storing the radio and packet management configuration (BBRAM and MCR). The RAM addresses of these memory banks are 11 bits long.

BBRAM

The battery backup RAM contains the main radio and packet management registers used to configure the radio. On application of battery power to the ADF7023-J for the first time, the entire BBRAM should be initialized by the host processor with the appropriate settings. After the BBRAM is written to, the CMD_CONFIG_DEV command should be issued to update the

radio and communications processor with the current BBRAM settings. The CMD_CONFIG_DEV command can be issued in the PHY_OFF state or the PHY_ON state only.

The BBRAM is used to maintain settings needed at wake-up from sleep mode by the wake-up controller. Upon wake-up from sleep, in smart wake mode, the BBRAM contents are read by the on-chip processor to recover the packet management and radio parameters.

MODEM CONFIGURATION RAM (MCR)

The 256-byte modem configuration RAM (MCR) contains the various registers used for direct control or observation of the physical layer radio blocks of the ADF7023-J. The contents of the MCR are not retained in the PHY_SLEEP state.

PROGRAM ROM

The program ROM consists of 4 kB of nonvolatile memory. It contains the firmware code for radio control, packet management, and smart wake mode.

PROGRAM RAM

The program RAM consists of 2 kB of volatile memory. This memory space is used for software modules, such as AES encryption, IR calibration, and Reed-Solomon coding, which are available from Analog Devices. The software modules are downloaded to the program RAM memory space over the SPI by the host processor. See the Downloadable Firmware Modules section for details on loading a firmware module to program RAM.

PACKET RAM

The packet RAM consists of 256 bytes of memory space. The first 16 bytes of this memory space are allocated for use by the on-chip processor. The remaining 240 bytes of this memory space are allocated for storage of data from valid received packets and packet data to be transmitted. The communications processor stores received payload data at the memory location indicated by the value of the RX_BASE_ADR register (Address 0x125), the receive address pointer. The value of the TX_BASE_ADR

register (Address 0x124), the transmit address pointer, determines the start address of data to be transmitted by the communications processor. This memory can be arbitrarily assigned to store single or multiple transmit or receive packets, with and without overlap. The RX_BASE_ADR value should be chosen to ensure that there is enough allocated packet RAM space for the maximum receiver payload length.

SPI INTERFACE

GENERAL CHARACTERISTICS

The ADF7023-J is equipped with a 4-wire SPI interface, using

the SCLK, MISO, MOSI, and

pins. The ADF7023-J always acts as a slave to the host processor. Figure 59 shows an example connection diagram between the processor and the ADF7023-J. The diagram also shows the direction of the signal flow for each pin. The SPI interface is active, and the MISO outputs enabled, only while the

input is low. The interface uses a word length of eight bits, which is compatible with the SPI hardware of most processors. The data transfer through the SPI interface occurs with the most significant bit first. The MOSI input is sampled at the rising edge of SCLK. As commands or data are shifted in from the MOSI input at the SCLK rising edge, the status word or data is shifted out at the MISO pin synchronous with the SCLK clock falling edge. If

is brought low, the most significant bit of the status word appears on the MISO output without the need for a rising clock edge on the SCLK input.

Figure 59. SPI Interface Connections

COMMAND ACCESS

The ADF7023-J is controlled through commands. Command words are single octet instructions that control the state transitions of the communications processor and access to the registers and packet RAM. The complete list of valid commands is given in the Command Reference section. Commands that have a CMD prefix are handled by the communications processor. Memory

access commands have an SPI prefix and are handled by an independent controller. Thus, SPI commands can be issued independent of the state of the communications processor.

A command is initiated by bringing

command word over the SPI, as shown in Figure 60. All commands

are executed on the last positive edge of the SCLK input. The

input must be brought high again after a command has been shifted into the ADF7023-J to enable the recognition of success- sive command words. This is because a single command can be issued only during a

low period (with the exception of a

double NOP command).

low and shifting in the

STATUS WORD

The status word of the ADF7023-J is automatically returned over the MISO each time a byte is transferred over the MOSI. Shifting in double SPI_NOP commands (see Table 27) causes the status word to be shifted out as shown in Figure 61. The meaning of the various bit fields is illustrated in Table 25. The FW_STAT E variable can be used to read the current state of the communications processor and is described in Ta b l e 26. If it is busy performing an action or state transition, FW_STAT E is busy. The FW_STAT E variable also indicates the current state of the radio.

The SPI_READY variable is used to indicate when the SPI is ready for access. The CMD_READY variable is used to indicate when the communications processor is ready to accept a new command. The status word should be polled and the CMD_READY bit examined before issuing a command to ensure that the communications processor is ready to accept a new command. It is not necessary to check the CMD_READY bit before issuing a SPI memory access command. It is possible to queue one command while the communications processor is busy. This is discussed in the Command Queuing section.

The ADF7023-J interrupt handler can also be configured to generate an interrupt signal on IRQ_GP3 when the communications processor is ready to accept a new command (CMD_READY in the INTERRUPT_SOURCE_1 register [Address 0x337]) or when it has finished processing a command (CMD_FINISHED in the INTERRUPT_SOURCE_1 register [Address 0x337]).

COMMAND QUEUING

The CMD_READY status bit is used to indicate that the command queue used by the communications processor is empty. The queue is one command deep. The FW_STATE bit is used to indicate the state of the communications processor. The operation of the status word and these bits is illustrated in Figure 62 when a CMD_PHY_ON command is issued in the PHY_OFF state.

Operation of the status word when a command is being queued is illustrated in Figure 63 when a CMD_PHY_ON command is issued in the PHY_OFF state followed quickly by a CMD_PHY_ RX command. The CMD_PHY_RX command is issued while FW_STAT E is busy (that is, transitioning between the PHY_OFF and PHY_ON states) but the CMD_READY bit is high, indicating that the command queue is empty. After the CMD_PHY_RX command is issued, the CMD_READY bit transitions to a logic low, indicating that the command queue is full. After the PHY_OFF to PHY_ON transition is finished, the PHY_RX command is processed immediately by the communications processor, and the CMD_READY bit goes high, indicating that the command queue is empty and another command can be issued.

MEMORY ACCESS

Memory locations are accessed by invoking the relevant SPI command. An 11-bit address is used to identify registers or locations in the memory space. The most significant three bits of the address are incorporated into the SPI command by appending them as the LSBs of the command word. Figure 64 illustrates command, address, and data partitioning. The various SPI memory access commands are different, depending on the memory location being accessed (see Ta b l e 27).

An SPI command should be issued only if the SPI_READY bit in the INTERRUPT_SOURCE_1 register (Address 0x337) of the status word bit is high. The ADF7023-J interrupt handler can also be configured to generate an interrupt signal on IRQ_GP3 when the SPI_READY bit is high.

An SPI command should not be issued while the communications processor is initializing (FW_STAT E = 0x0F). SPI commands can be issued in any other communications processor state, including the busy state (FW_STATE = 0x00). This allows the

ADF7023-J memory to be accessed while the radio is transi-

tioning between states.

Block Write

MCR, BBRAM, and packet RAM memory locations can be written to in block format using the SPI_MEM_WR command.

The SPI_MEM_WR command code is 00011xxxb, where xxxb represent Bits[10:8] of the first 11-bit address. If more than one data byte is written, the write address is automatically incremented for every byte sent until

is set high, which terminates the memory access command (see Figure 65 for more details). The maximum block write for the MCR, packet RAM, and BBRAM memories is 256 bytes, 256 bytes, and 64 bytes, respectively. These maximum block-write lengths should not be exceeded.

Example

Write 0x00 to the ADC_CONFIG_HIGH register (Address 0x35A).

• The first five bits of the SPI_MEM_WR command are 00011.

• The 11-bit address of ADC_CONFIG_HIGH is

01101011010.

• The first byte sent is 00011011 or 0x1B.

• The second byte sent is 01011010 or 0x5A.

• The third byte sent is 0x00.

Thus, 0x1B, 0x5A, 0x00 is written to the part.

Random Address Write

MCR, BBRAM, and packet RAM memory locations can be written to in a nonsequential manner using the SPI_MEMR_WR command. The SPI_MEMR_WR command code is 00001xxxb, where xxxb represent Bits[10:8] of the 11-bit address. The lower eight bits of the address should follow this command and then the data byte to be written to the address. The lower eight bits of the next address are entered, followed by the data for that address until all required addresses within that block are written, as shown in Figure 66.

Program RAM Write

The program RAM can be written to only by using the memory block write, as illustrated in Figure 65. SPI_MEM_WR should be set to 0x1E. See the Downloadable Firmware Modules section for details on loading a firmware module to program RAM.

Block Read

MCR, BBRAM, and packet RAM memory locations can be read from in block format using the SPI_MEM_RD command. The SPI_MEM_RD command code is 00111xxxb, where xxxb represent Bits[10:8] of the first 11-bit address. This command is followed by the remaining eight bits of the address to be read and then two SPI_NOP commands (dummy byte). The first byte available after writing the address should be ignored, with the second byte constituting valid data. If more than one data byte is to be read, the write address is automatically incremented for subsequent SPI_NOP commands sent. See Figure 67 for more details.

Random Address Read

MCR, BBRAM, and packet RAM memory locations can be read from memory in a nonsequential manner using the SPI_MEMR_RD command. The SPI_MEMR_RD command code is 00101xxxb, where xxxb represent Bits[10:8] of the 11-bit address. This command is followed by the remaining eight bits of the address to be written. Each subsequent address byte is then written. The last address byte to be written should be followed by two SPI_NOP commands, as shown in Figure 68. The data bytes from memory, starting at the first address location, are available after the second status byte.

Example

Read the value stored in the ADC_CONFIG_HIGH register.

• The first five bits of the SPI_MEM_RD command are

00111.

• The 11-bit address of ADC_CONFIG_HIGH is

01101011010.

• The first byte sent is 00111011 or 0x3B.

• The second byte sent is 01011010 or 0x5A.

• The third byte sent is 0xFF (SPI_NOP).

• The fourth byte sent is 0xFF.

Thus, 0x3B5AFFFF is written to the part.

The value shifted out on the MISO line while the fourth byte is sent is the value stored in the ADC_CONFIG_HIGH register.

ADF7023-J Data Sheet

LOW POWER MODES

The ADF7023-J can be configured to operate in a broad range of energy sensitive applications where battery lifetime is critical. This includes support for applications where the ADF7023-J is required to operate in a fully autonomous mode or applications where the host processor controls the transceiver during low power mode operation. These low power modes are implemented using a hardware wake-up controller (WUC), a firmware timer, and the smart wake mode functionality of the on-chip communications processor. The hardware WUC is a low power WUC that comprises a 16-bit wake-up timer with a programmable prescaler. The

32.768 kHz RCOSC or XOSC provides the clock source for the tim e r.

The firmware timer is a software timer residing on the ADF7023-J. The firmware timer is used to count the number of WUC timeouts and can be used to count the number of ADF7023-J wake-ups.

The WUC and the firmware timer, therefore, provide a real-time clock capability.

Using the low power WUC and the firmware timer, the SWM firmware allows the ADF7023-J to wake up autonomously from sleep without intervention from the host processor. During this wake-up period, the ADF7023-J is controlled by the communications processor. This functionality allows carrier sense, packet sniffing, and packet reception while the host processor is in sleep, thereby dramatically reducing overall system current consumption. The smart wake mode can then wake the host processor on an interrupt condition. An overview of the low power mode configuration is shown in Figure 69, and the register settings that are used for the various low power modes are described in Table 28.

EXAMPLE LOW POWER MODES

Deep Sleep Mode 2

Deep Sleep Mode 2 is suitable for applications where the host processor controls the low power mode timing and the lowest possible ADF7023-J sleep current is required.

In this low power mode, the ADF7023-J is in the PHY_SLEEP state. The BBRAM contents are not retained. This low power mode is entered by issuing the CMD_HW_RESET command from any radio state. To wake the part from the PHY_SLEEP state, the after a CMD_HW_RESET command should be followed, as detailed in the Radio Control section.

Deep Sleep Mode 1

Deep Sleep Mode 1 is suitable for applications where the host processor controls the low power mode timing and the ADF7023-J configuration is retained during the PHY_SLEEP state.

In this low power mode, the ADF7023-J is in the PHY_SLEEP state with the BBRAM contents retained. Before entering the PHY_SLEEP state, the WUC_BBRAM_EN bit (Address 0x30D)

should be set to 1 to ensure that the BBRAM is retained. This low power mode is entered by issuing the CMD_PHY_SLEEP command from either the PHY_OFF or PHY_ON state. To exit

the PHY_SLEEP state, the initialization routine should then be followed, as detailed in the Radio Control section.

WUC Mode

In this low power mode, the hardware WUC is used to wake the ADF7023-J from the PHY_SLEEP state after a user-defined duration. At the end of this duration, the ADF7023-J can provide an interrupt to the host processor. While the ADF7023-J is in the PHY_SLEEP state, the host processor can optionally be in a deep sleep state to save power.

Before issuing the CMD_PHY_SLEEP command, the host processor should configure the WUC and set the firmware timer threshold to zero (NUMBER_OF_WA KE UP S _IRQ_ THRESHOLD_x = 0, Address 0x104 and Address 0x105). The WUC_BBRAM_EN bit (Address 0x30D) should be set to 1 to ensure that the BBRAM is retained. On issuing the CMD_PHY_ SLEEP command, the device goes to sleep for a period until the hardware timer times out. At this point, the device wakes up, and, if the WUC_TIMEOUT bit (Address 0x101) or the INTERRUPT_NUM_WAKEUPS bit (Address 0x100) interrupts are enabled, the device asserts the IRQ_GP3 pin.

The operation of this low power mode is illustrated in Figure 70.

pin should be set low. The initialization routine

pin can be set low. T h e CS low

WUC Mode with Firmware Timer

In this low power mode, the WUC is used to periodically wake the ADF7023-J from the PHY_SLEEP state, and the firmware timer is used to count the number of WUC timeouts. The combination of the WUC and the firmware timer provides a real-time clock (RTC) capability.

The host processor should set up the WUC and the firmware timer before entering the PHY_SLEEP state. The WUC_ BBRAM_EN bit (Address 0x30D) should be set to 1 to ensure that the BBRAM is retained. The WUC can be configured to time out at some standard time interval (for example, 1 sec, 60 sec). On issuing the CMD_PHY_SLEEP command, the device enters the PHY_SLEEP state for a period until the hardware timer times out. At this point, the device wakes up, increments the 16-bit firmware timer (NUMBER_OF_WA KE UP S_x, Address 0x102 and Address 0x103) and, if the WUC_TIMEOUT bit (Address 0x101) is enabled, the device asserts the IRQ_GP3 pin. If the 16-bit firmware count is less than or equal to the user set threshold (NUMBER_OF_WA KE UPS _IRQ_THRESHOLD_x, Address 0x104 and Address 0x105), the device returns to the PHY_SLEEP state. With this method, the firmware count (NUMBER_OF_WA KE UPS _x) equates to a real-time interval.

When the firmware count exceeds the user-set threshold (NUMBER_OF_WA KE UPS _IRQ_THRESHOLD_x), the

ADF7023-J asserts the IRQ_GP3 pin, if the INTERRUPT_NUM_

WA K EU P S bit (Address 0x100) is set, and enters the PHY_OFF state. The operation of this low power mode is illustrated in Figure 71.

Smart Wake Mode (Carrier Sense Only)

In this low power mode, the WUC, firmware timer, and smart wake mode are used to implement periodic RSSI measurements on a particular channel (that is, carrier sense). To enable this mode, the WUC and firmware timer should be configured before entering the PHY_SLEEP state. The WUC_BBRAM_EN bit (Address 0x30D) should be set to 1 to ensure that the BBRAM is retained. The RSSI measurement is enabled by setting the SWM_RSSI_QUAL bit = 1 and the SWM_EN bit = 1 (Address 0x11A). The INTERRUPT_SWM_RSSI_DET bit (Address 0x100) should also be enabled. If the measured RSSI value is below the user-defined threshold set in the SWM_RSSI_THRESH register (Address 0x108), the device returns to the PHY_SLEEP state. If the RSSI measurement is greater than the SWM_RSSI_THRESH value, the device sets the INTERRUPT_SWM_RSSI_DET interrupt to alert the host processor and waits in the PHY_ON state for a host command. The operation of this low power mode is illustrated in

Figure 72

Rev. A | Page 59 of 104

ADF7023-J Data Sheet

Smart Wake Mode

In this low power mode, the WUC, firmware timer, and smart wake mode are employed to periodically listen for packets. To enable this mode, the WUC and firmware timer should be configured and smart wake mode (SWM) enabled (the SWM_EN bit, Address 0x11A) before entering the PHY_SLEEP state. The WUC_BBRAM_EN bit (Address 0x30D) should be set to 1 to ensure that the BBRAM is retained. RSSI prequalification can be optionally enabled (SWM_RSSI_QUA L = 1, Address 0x11A). When RSSI prequalification is enabled, the ADF7023-J begins searching for the preamble only if the RSSI measurement is greater than the user-defined threshold.

The ADF7023-J is in the PHY_RX state for a duration determined by the RX_DWELL_TIME setting (Address 0x106). If the ADF7023-J detects the preamble during the receive dwell time, it searches for the sync word. If the sync word routine is detected, the ADF7023-J loads the received data to packet RAM and checks for a CRC and address match, if enabled. If any of the receive packet interrupts has been set, the ADF7023-J returns to the PHY_ON state and waits for a host command.

If the ADF7023-J receives preamble detection during the receive dwell time but the remainder of the received packet extends beyond the dwell time, the ADF7023-J extends the dwell time until all of the packet is received or the packet is recognized as invalid (for example, there is an incorrect sync word).

This low power mode terminates when a valid packet interrupt is received. Alternatively, this low power mode can be terminated via a firmware timer timeout. This can be useful if certain radio tasks (for example, IR calibration) or processor tasks must be run periodically while in the low power mode.

The operation of this low power mode is illustrated in Figure 73.

Exiting Low Power Mode

As described in Figure 69, the ADF7023-J waits for a host command on any of the termination conditions of the low power mode. It is also possible to perform an asynchronous exit from low power mode using the following procedure:

1. Bring the

output goes high.

2. Issue a CMD_HW_RESET command.

The host processor should then follow the initialization procedure after a CMD_HW_RESET command, as described in the Initialization section.

Circuit Description

The ADF7023-J features a low power wake-up controller comprising a 16-bit wake-up timer with a 3-bit programmable prescaler, as illustrated in Figure 74. The prescaler clock source can be configured to use either the 32.76 kHz internal RC oscillator (RCOSC) or the 32.76 kHz external oscillator (XOSC). This combination of programmable prescaler and 16-bit down counter gives a total hardware timer range of 30.52 µs to 36.4 hours.

Configuration and Operation

The hardware WUC is configured via the following registers:

• WUC_CONFIG_HIGH (Address 0x30C)

• WUC_CONFIG_LOW (Address 0x30D)

• WUC_VA L U E_HIGH (Address 0x30E)

• WUC_VA L U E_LOW (Address 0x30F)

The relevant fields of each register are detailed in Table 29. All four of these registers are write only.

The WUC should be configured as follows:

1. Clear all interrupts.

2. Set required interrupts.

3. Write to WUC_CONFIG_HIGH and WUC_CONFIG_

LOW. Ensure that the WUC_ARM bit = 1. Ensure that the WUC_BBRAM_EN bit = 1 (retain BBRAM during PHY_SLEEP). It is necessary to write to both registers together in the following order: WUC_CONFIG_HIGH directly followed by writing to WUC_CONFIG_LOW.

4. Write to WUC_VA LU E_HIGH and WUC_VA L U E_LOW.

This configures the WUC_TIMER_VA LU E [15:0] and, thus, the WUC timeout period. The timer begins counting from the configured value after these registers have been written to. It is necessary to write to both registers together in the following order: WUC_VA L UE _HIGH directly followed by writing to WUC_VA LU E_LOW.

FIRMWARE TIMER SETUP

The ADF7023-J wakes up from the PHY_SLEEP state at the rate set by the WUC. A firmware timer, implemented by the on-chip processor, can be used to count the number of hardware wake-ups and generate an interrupt to the host processor. Thus, the

ADF7023-J can be used to handle the wake-up timing of the

host processor, reducing overall system power consumption.

To set up the firmware timer, the host processor must set a value in the NUMBER_OF_WA KE UP S _IRQ_THRESHOLD[15:0] registers (Address 0x104 and Address 0x105). This 16-bit value represents the number of times the device wakes up before it interrupts the host processor. At each wake-up, the ADF7023-J increments the NUMBER_OF_WAKEUPS[15:0] registers (Address 0x102 and Address 103). If this value exceeds the value set by the NUMBER_OF_WAK E U PS _IRQ_THRESHOLD[15:0] registers, the NUMBER_OF_WAKEUPS[15:0] value is cleared to 0. At this time, if the INTERRUPT_NUM_WAKEUPS bit in the INTERRUPT _MASK_0 register (Address 0x100) is set, the device asserts the IRQ_GP3 pin and enters the PHY_OFF state.

CALIBRATING THE RC OSCILLATOR

There are two types of RC oscillator calibration, namely fine and coarse calibrations. A fine calibration of the RC oscillator is automatically performed upon wake-up from PHY_SLEEP and upon cold start. The user can also manually initiate a fine calibration.

In order to meet the quoted RC oscillator frequency accuracy given in the Specifications section, it is necessary to perform a coarse calibration of the RC oscillator.

Performing a Fine Calibration of the RC Oscillator

This is performed as follows:

1. Write to the WUC_CONFIG_HIGH and

WUC_CONFIG_LOW registers, setting the WUC_RCOSC_EN bit high.

2. Write a 0 to WUC_RCOSC_CAL_EN in the

WUC_FLAG_RESET register.

3. Write a 1 to WUC_RCOSC_CAL_EN in the

WUC_FLAG_RESET register.

During calibration, the host microprocessor can write to and read from memory locations and issue commands to the

ADF7023-J. The RC oscillator calibration status can be viewed

in the WUC_STATUS register (Location 0x311).

A fine calibration typically takes 1.5 ms. The result of a fine calibration can be read back from the following two registers: RCOSC_CAL_READBACK_HIGH (Location 0x34F) and RCOSC_CAL_READBACK_LOW (Location 0x350).

Performing a Coarse Calibration of the RC Oscillator

This calibration involves performing fine calibrations of the RC oscillator for different values of RCOSC_COARSE_CAL_VALUE to determine the optimum value to be written to WUC_CONFIG_HIGH (Location 0x30C[6:3]).

The coarse calibration procedure is outlined in Figure 75. Typically, the optimum coarse tune state is State 5, so the algorithm starts in this state to minimize the number of iterations.

Usually the optimum RCOSC_COARSE_CAL_VALUE is determined at 25°C once, and the result stored in the host microprocessor. This result can incorporated in the value written to WUC_CONFIG_HIGH prior to fine calibrations of the RC oscillator.

DOWNLOADABLE FIRMWARE MODULES

The program RAM memory of the ADF7023-J can be used to store firmware modules for the communications processor that provide the ADF7023-J with extra functionality. The binary code for these firmware modules and details on their functionality are available from Analog Devices. These firmware modules are available online at ftp://ftp.analog.com/pub/RFL/FirmwareModules/ADF7023/. Three modules are briefly described in this section: image rejection calibration, AES encryption and decryption, and Reed-Solomon coding.

WRITING A MODULE TO PROGRAM RAM

The sequence to write a firmware module to program RAM is as follows:

1. Ensure that the ADF7023-J is in PHY_OFF.

2. Issue the CMD_RAM_LOAD_INIT command.

3. Write the module to program RAM using an SPI memory

block write (see the SPI Interface section).

4. Issue the CMD_RAM_LOAD_DONE command.

5. Issue the CMD_SYNC command.

AES ENCRYPTION AND DECRYPTION MODULE

The downloadable AES firmware module supports 128-bit block encryption and decryption with key sizes of 128 bits, 192 bits, and 256 bits. Two modes are supported: ECB mode and CBC Mode 1. ECB mode simply encrypts/decrypts on a 128-bit block by block with a single secret key as illustrated in Figure 77. CBC Mode 1 encrypts after first adding (Modulo 2), a 128-bit usersupplied initialization vector. The resulting cipher text is then used as the initialization vector for the next block and so forth, as illustrated in Figure 78. Decryption provides the inverse functionality. The firmware also takes advantage of an on-chip hardware accelerator module to enhance throughput and minimize the latency of the AES processing.

REED-SOLOMON CODING MODULE

This coding module uses Reed-Solomon block coding to detect and correct errors in the received packet. A transmit message of k bytes in length is appended with an error checking code (ECC) of length n − k bytes to give a total message length of n bytes, as shown in Figure 76.

The firmware module is now stored on program RAM.

IMAGE REJECTION CALIBRATION MODULE

The calibration system initially disables the ADF7023-J receiver, and an internal RF source is applied to the RF input at the image frequency. The algorithm then maximizes the receiver image rejection performance by iteratively minimizing the quadrature gain and phase errors in the polyphase filter.

The calibration algorithm takes its initial estimates for quadrature phase correction (Address 0x118) and quadrature gain correction (Address 0x119) from BBRAM. After calibration, new optimum values of phase and gain are loaded back into these locations. These calibration values are maintained in BBRAM during sleep mode and are automatically reapplied from a wake-up event, which keeps the number of calibrations required to a minimum.

Depending on the initial values of quadrature gain and phase correction, the calibration algorithm can take approximately 20 ms to find the optimum image rejection performance. However, the calibration time can be significantly less than this when the seed values used for gain and phase correction are close to optimum.

The image rejection performance is also dependent on temperature. To maintain optimum image rejection performance, a calibration should be activated whenever a temperature change of more than 10°C occurs. The ADF7023-J on-chip temperature sensor can be used to determine when the temperature exceeds this limit.

To run the IR calibration, issue a CMD_IR_CAL (Register 0xBD). In order for this to work successfully, ensure that the BB filter calibration is enabled in the MODE_CONTROL register (Address 0x11A).

Rev. A | Page 65 of 104

Figure 76. Packet Structure with Appended Reed-Solomon ECC

The receiver decodes the ECC to detect and correct up to t bytes in error, where t = (n − k)/2. The firmware supports correction of up to five bytes in the n byte field. To correct t bytes in error, an ECC length of 2t bytes is required, and the byte errors can be randomly distributed throughout the payload and ECC fields.

Reed-Solomon coding exhibits excellent burst error correction capability and is commonly used to improve the robustness of a radio link in the presence of transient interference or due to rapid signal fading conditions that can corrupt sections of the message payload.

Reed-Solomon coding is also capable of improving the receiver’s sensitivity performance by several dB, where random errors tend to dominate under low SNR conditions and the receiver’s packet error rate performance is limited by thermal noise.

The number of consecutive bit errors that can be 100% corrected is {(t − 1) × 8 + 1}. Longer, random bit-error patterns, up to t bytes, can also be corrected if the error patterns start and end at byte boundaries.

The firmware also takes advantage of an on-chip hardware accelerator module to enhance throughput and minimize the latency of the Reed-Solomon processing.

FREQUENCY SYNTHESIZER

A fully integrated RF frequency synthesizer is used to generate both the transmit signal and the receiver’s local oscillator (LO) signal. The architecture of the frequency synthesizer is shown in Figure 79.

The receiver uses a fractional-N frequency synthesizer to generate the mixer’s LO for down conversion to the intermediate frequency (IF) of 200 kHz or 300 kHz. In transmit mode, a high resolution sigma-delta (Σ-Δ) modulator is used to generate the required frequency deviations at the RF output when FSK data is transmitted. To reduce the occupied FSK bandwidth, the transmitted bit stream can be filtered using a digital Gaussian filter, which is enabled via the RADIO_CFG_9 register (Address 0x115). The Gaussian filter uses a bandwidth time (BT) of 0.5.

The VCO and the PLL loop filter of the ADF7023-J are fully integrated. To reduce the effect of pulling of the VCO by the power-up of the PA and to minimize spurious emissions, the VCO operates at twice the RF frequency. The VCO signal is then divided by 2, giving the required frequency for the transmitter and the required LO frequency for the receiver.

A high speed, fully automatic calibration scheme is used to ensure that the frequency and amplitude characteristics of the VCO are maintained over temperature, supply voltage, and process variations.

The calibration is automatically performed when the CMD_PHY_RX or the CMD_PHY_TX command is issued. The calibration duration is 142 µs, and if required, the CALIBRATION_STATUS register (Address 0x339) can be polled to indicate the completion of the VCO self calibration. After the VCO is calibrated, the frequency synthesizer settles to within ±5 ppm of the target frequency in 56 µs.

Synthesizer Bandwidth

The synthesizer loop filter is fully integrated on chip and has a programmable bandwidth. The communications processor automatically sets the bandwidth of the synthesizer when the device enters the PHY_TX or the PHY_RX state. Upon entering the PHY_TX state, the communications processor chooses the bandwidth based on the programmed modulation scheme (2FSK or GFSK) and the data rate. This ensures optimum modulation quality for each data rate. Upon entering the PHY_RX state, the communications processor sets a narrow bandwidth to ensure best receiver rejection. In all, there are eight bandwidth configurations. Each synthesizer bandwidth setting is described in Table 30.

For performance margin to the T96 specification limits, the PLL closed-loop bandwidth is optimized depending on the data rate.

The following procedure must be used to program the device for optimized PLL bandwidth settings during transmit operation.

As part of the initial BBRAM configuration, do the following:

• Issue the SPI_MEM_WR command, writing 0x2 to Bits[5:4]

of Register 0x113 (RADIO_CFG_7).

• Issue the CMD_CONFIG_DEV command.

The custom transmit LUT must be written to the 0x010 to 0x018 packet RAM locations. This is achieved using a SPI_MEM_WR command and a block write as described in the Memory Access section. The LUT values are described in Table 31.

These values are retained in memory while VDDBAT remains valid, unless PHY_SLEEP is entered; in which case, the values must be reprogrammed.

Synthesizer Settling

After the VCO calibration, a 56 µs delay is allowed for synthesizer settling. This delay is fixed at 56 µs by default and ensures that the synthesizer has fully settled when using any of the default synthesizer bandwidths.

However, in some cases, it may be necessary to use a custom synthesizer settling delay. To use a custom delay, set the CUSTOM_ TRX_SYNTH_LOCK_TIME EN bit to 1 in the MODE_CONTROL register (Address 0x11A). The synthesizer settling delays for the PHY_RX and the PHY_TX state transitions can be set independently in the RX_SYNTH_LOCK_TIME register (Address 0x13E) and the TX_SYNTH_LOCK_TIME register (Address 0x13F). The settling time can be set in the 2 µs to 512 µs range in steps of 2 µs.

Bypassing VCO Calibration

It is possible to bypass the VCO calibration for ultrafast frequency hopping in transmit or receive. The calibration data for each RF channel should be stored in the host processor memory. The calibration data comprises two values: the VCO band select value and the VCO amplitude level.

Read and Store Calibration Data

1. Go to the PHY_TX or the PHY_RX state without bypassing

the VCO calibration.

2. Read the following MCR registers and store the calibrated

data in memory on the host processor:

a. VCO_BAND_READBACK (Address 0x3DA)

b. VCO_AMPL_READBACK (Address 0x3DB)

Bypassing VCO Calibration on CMD_PHY_TX or CMD_PHY_RX

1. Ensure that the BBRAM is configured.

2. Set VCO_OVRW_EN (Address 0x3CD) = 0x3.

3. Set VCO_CAL_CFG (Address 0x3D0) = 0x0F.

4. Set VCO_BAND_OVRW_VA L (Address 0x3CB) = stored

VCO_BAND_READBACK (Address 0x3DA) for that

channel.

5. Set VCO_AMPL_OVRW_VA L (Address 0x3CC) = stored

VCO_AMPL_READBACK (Address 0x3DB) for that

channel.

6. Set SYNTH_CAL_EN = 0 (in the CALIBRATION_

CONTROL register, Address 0x338).

7. Set SYNTH_CAL_EN = 1 (in the CALIBRATION_

CONTROL register, Address 0x338).

8. Issue CMD_PHY_TX or CMD_PHY_RX to go to the

PHY_TX or PHY_RX state without the VCO calibration.

CRYSTAL OSCILLATOR

A 26 MHz crystal oscillator operating in parallel mode must be connected between the XOSC26P and XOSC26N pins. Two parallel loading capacitors are required for oscillation at the correct frequency. Their values are dependent upon the crystal specification. They should be chosen to ensure that the shunt value of capacitance added to the PCB track capacitance and the input pin capacitance of the ADF7023-J equals the specified

load capacitance of the crystal, usually 10 pF to 20 pF. Track capacitance values vary from 2 pF to 5 pF, depending on board layout. The total load capacitance is described by

LOAD

where:

C1 and C2 are the external crystal load capacitors. C

is the ADF7023-J input capacitance of the XOSC26P and

XOSC26N pins and is equal to 2.1 pF.

is the PCB track capacitance.

PCB

When possible, choose capacitors that have a very low temperature coefficient to ensure stable frequency operation over all conditions.

The crystal frequency error can be corrected by means of an integrated digital tuning varactor. For a typical crystal load capacitance of 10 pF, a tuning range of −15 ppm to +11.25 ppm is available via programming of a 3-bit DAC, according to Ta b l e 32. The 3-bit value should be written to the XOSC_CAP_DAC bits in the OSC_CONFIG register (Address 0x3D2).

Alternatively, any error in the RF frequency due to crystal error can be adjusted for by offsetting the RF channel frequency using the RF channel frequency setting in BBRAM memory.

MODULATION

The ADF7023-J supports binary frequency shift keying (2FSK), minimum shift keying (MSK), binary level Gaussian filtered 2FSK (GFSK), and Gaussian filtered MSK (GMSK). The desired transmit and receive modulation formats are set in the RADIO_CFG_9 register (Address 0x115).

When using 2FSK/GFSK/MSK/GMSK modulation, the frequency deviation can be set using the FREQ_DEVIATION[11:0] bits in the RADIO_CFG_1 register (Address 0x10D) and the RADIO_CFG_2 register (Address 0x10E). The data rate can be set in the 1 kbps to 300 kbps range using the DATA _RATE[11:0] parameter in the RADIO_CFG_0 register (Address 0x10C) and RADIO_CFG_1 register (Address 0x10D). For GFSK/GMSK modulation, the Gaussian filter uses a fixed BT of 0.5.

RF OUTPUT STAGE

Power Amplifier (PA)

The ADF7023-J PA can be configured for single-ended or differential output operation using the PA _SINGLE_DIFF_SEL bit in the RADIO_CFG_8 register (Address 0x114). The PA level is set by th e PA_LEVEL bit in the RADIO_CFG_8 register and has a range of 0 to 15. For finer control of the output power level, the PA _LEVEL_MCR register (Address 0x307) can be used. It offers more resolution with a setting range of 0 to 63. The relationship between the PA_LEVEL and PA_LEVEL_MCR settings is given by

PA_LEVEL_MCR = 4 × PA_LEVEL + 3

The single-ended configuration can deliver 13.5 dBm output power. The differential PA can deliver 10 dBm output power and allows a straightforward interface to dipole antennae. The two PA configurations offer a Tx antenna diversity capability. Note that the tw o PAs c ann o t be enabled at the same time.

Automatic PA Ramp

The ADF7023-J has built-in up and down PA ramping for both single-ended and differential PAs. There are eight ramp rate settings, with the ramp rate defined as a certain number of PA power level settings per data bit period. The PA_RAMP variable in the RADIO_CFG_8 register (Address 0x114) sets this PA ramp rate, as illustrated in Figure 80.

PA/LNA INTERFACE

The ADF7023-J supports both single-ended and differential PA outputs. Only one PA can be active at a time. The differential PA and LNA share the same pins, RFIO_1P and RFIO_1N, which facilitate a simpler antenna interface. The single-ended PA output is available on the RFO2 pin. A number of PA/LNA antenna matching options are possible and are described in the PA/LNA Matching section.

RECEIVE CHANNEL FILTER

The channel filter of the receiver is a fourth-order, active polyphase Butterworth filter with programmable bandwidths of 100 kHz, 150 kHz, 200 kHz, and 300 kHz. The fourth-order filter gives very good interference suppression of adjacent and neighboring channels and also suppresses the image channel by approximately 36 dB at a 100 kHz IF bandwidth and an RF frequency of 915 MHz.

For channel bandwidths of 100 kHz to 200 kHz, an IF frequency of 200 kHz is used, which results in an image frequency located 400 kHz below the wanted RF frequency. When the 300 kHz bandwidth is selected, an IF frequency of 300 kHz is used, and the image frequency is located at 600 kHz below the wanted frequency.

The bandwidth and center frequency of the IF filter are calibrated automatically after entering the PHY_ON state if the BB_CAL bit is set in the MODE_CONTROL register (Address 0x11A). The filter calibration time takes 100 µs.

The IF bandwidth is programmed by setting the IFBW field in the RADIO_CFG_9 register (Address 0x115). The filter’s pass band is centered at an IF frequency of 200 kHz when bandwidths of 100 kHz to 200 kHz are used and centered at 300 kHz when an IF bandwidth of 300 kHz is used.

The PA ramps to the level set by the PA_LEVEL or PA _LEVEL_ MCR settings. Enabling the PA ramp reduces spectral splatter and helps meet radio regulations, which limit PA transient spurious emissions. To ensure optimum performance, an adequately long PA ramp rate is required based on the data rate and the PA output power setting. The PA _RAMP setting should, therefore, be set such that

where PA_LEVEL_MCR is related to the PA_LEVEL setting by PA_LEVEL_MCR = 4 × PA _LEVEL + 3.

IMAGE CHANNEL REJECTION

The ADF7023-J is capable of providing improved receiver image rejection performance by the use of a fully integrated image rejection calibration system under the control of the on-chip communications processor. To operate the calibration system, a firmware module is downloaded to the on-chip program RAM. The firmware download is supplied by Analog Devices and described in the Downloadable Firmware Modules section.

To achieve the typical uncalibrated image attenuation values given in the Specifications section, it is required to use recommended default values for IMAGE_REJECT_CAL_PHASE (Address 0x118) and IMAGE_REJECT_CAL_AMPLITUDE (Address 0x119).

These recommended defaults, at 915 MHz, are IMAGE_REJECT_CAL_AMPLITUDE = 0x07 and IMAGE_REJECT_CAL_PHASE = 0x16.

AUTOMATIC GAIN CONTROL (AGC)

AGC is enabled by default and keeps the receiver gain at the correct level by selecting the LNA, mixer, and filter gain settings based on the measured RSSI level. The LNA has three gain levels,

the mixer has two gain levels, and the filter has three gain levels. In all, there are six AGC stages, which are defined in Tabl e 33.

Table 33. AGC Gain Modes

The AGC remains at each gain stage for a time defined by the AGC_CLK_DIVIDE register (Address 0x32F). The default value of AGC_CLK_DIVIDE = 0x28 gives an AGC delay of 25 μs. When the RSSI is above AGC_HIGH_THRESHOLD (Address 0x35F),

the gain is reduced. When the RSSI is below

AGC_LOW_THRESHOLD (Address 0x35E), the gain is increased.

The AGC can be configured to remain active while in the PHY_RX state or can be locked on preamble detection. The AGC can also be set to manual mode, in which case, the host processor must set the LNA, filter, and mixer gains by writing to the AGC_MODE register (Address 0x35D). The AGC operation is set by the AGC_LOCK_MODE setting in the RADIO_CFG_7 register (Address 0x113) and is described in Table 34.

The LNA, filter, and mixer gains can be read back through the AGC_GAIN_S TAT US register (Address 0x360).

Table 34. AGC Operation

AGC_LOCK_MODE Bits in RADIO_CFG_7 Register Description

0 AGC is free running. 1 AGC is disabled. Gains must be set

manually. 2 AGC is held at the current gain level. 3 AGC is locked on preamble detection.

RSSI

The RSSI is based on a successive compression, log amplifier architecture following the analog channel filter. The analog RSSI level is digitized by an 8-bit SAR ADC for user readback and for use by the digital AGC controller.

The ADF7023-J has three RSSI measurement functions that support a wide range of applications. These functions can be used to implement carrier sense (CS) or clear channel assessment (CCA). In packet mode, the RSSI is automatically recorded in MCR memory and is available for user readback after receipt of a packet.

Table 36 details the three RSSI measurement methods.

RSSI Method 1

When a valid packet is received in packet mode, the RSSI level during postamble is automatically loaded to the RSSI_READBACK register (Address 0x312) by the communications processor. The RSSI_READBACK register contains a twos complement value and can be converted to input power in dBm using the following formula:

RSSI(dBm) = RSSI_READBACK − 107

To extend the linear range of RSSI measurement down to an input power of −110 dBm (see Figure 42), a cosine adjustment can be applied using the following formula:

RSSI(dBm) =

COS

× RSSI_READBACK − 106

where COS(X) is the cosine of angle X (radians).

RSSI Method 2

The CMD_GET_RSSI command can be used from the PHY_ON state to read the RSSI. This RSSI measurement method uses additional low-pass filtering, resulting in a more accurate RSSI reading. The RSSI result is loaded to the RSSI_READBACK register (Address 0x312) by the communications processor. The RSSI_READBACK register contains a twos complement value and can be converted to input power in dBm using the following formula:

RSSI(dBm) = RSSI_READBACK – 107

The CMD_GET_RSSI execution time is specified in Tab l e 11.

RSSI Method 3

This method supports the measurement of RSSI by the host processor at any time while in the PHY_RX state. The receiver input power can be calculated using the following procedure:

1. Set AGC to hold by setting the AGC_MODE register

(Address 0x35D) = 0x40 (only necessary if AGC has not been locked on the preamble or sync word).

2. Read back the AGC gain settings (AGC_GAIN_STATUS

3. Read the ADC_READBACK[7:0] bit values (Address

0x327 and Address 0x328; see the Analog-to-Digital Converter section).

4. Re-enable the AGC by setting the AGC_MODE register

(Address 0x35D) = 0x00 (only necessary if AGC has not already been locked on the preamble or sync word).

5. Calculate the RSSI in dBm as follows:

2FSK/GFSK/MSK/GMSK DEMODULATION

A correlator demodulator is used for 2FSK, GFSK, MSK, and GMSK demodulation. The quadrature outputs of the IF filter are first limited and then fed to a digital frequency correlator that performs filtering and frequency discrimination of the 2FSK/GFSK/MSK/ GMSK spectrum. Data is recovered by comparing the output levels from two correlators. The performance of this frequency discriminator approximates that of a matched filter detector, which is known to provide optimum detection in the presence of additive white Gaussian noise (AWGN). This method of 2FSK/GFSK/MSK/ GMSK demodulation provides approximately 3 dB to 4 dB better sensitivity than a linear frequency discriminator. The 2FSK/GFSK/ MSK/GMSK demodulator architecture is shown in Figure 81. The ADF7023-J is configured for 2FSK/GFSK/MSK/GMSK demodulation by setting DEMOD_SCHEME = 0 in the RADIO_CFG_9 register (Address 0x115).

To optimize receiver sensitivity, the correlator bandwidth and phase must be optimized for the specific deviation frequency, data rate, and maximum expected frequency error between the transmitter and receiver. The bandwidth and phase of the discriminator must be set using the DISCRIM_BW bits in the RADIO_CFG_3 register (Address 0x10F) and the DISCRIM_ PHASE[1:0] bits in the RADIO_CFG_6 register (Address 0x112). The discriminator setup is performed in three steps.

Step 1: Calculate the Discriminator Bandwidth Coefficient K

The Discriminator Bandwidth Coefficient K depends on the modulation index (MI), which is determined by

where FSK_Dev is the 2FSK/GFSK/MSK/GMSK frequency deviation in hertz (Hz), measured from the carrier to the +1 symbol frequency (positive frequency deviation) or to the −1 symbol frequency (negative frequency deviation). Data Rate is the data rate in bits per second (bps).

The value of K is then determined by

MI ≥ 1, AFC off: K = Floor

MI < 1, AFC off: K = Floor

MI ≥ 1, AFC on: K = Floor

MI < 1, AFC on: K = Floor

where:

MI is the modulation index. K is the discriminator coefficient.

Rev. A | Page 72 of 104

Floor[x] is a function to round down to the nearest integer. IF_Freq is the IF frequency in hertz (200 kHz or 300 kHz). FSK_Dev is the 2FSK/GFSK/MSK/GMSK frequency deviation

in hertz. Freq_Error_Max is the maximum expected frequency error, in hertz, between Tx and Rx.

Step 2: Calculate the DISCRIM_BW Setting

The bandwidth setting of the discriminator is calculated based on the Discriminator Coefficient K and the IF frequency. The bandwidth is set using the DISCRIM_BW[7:0] setting (Address 0x10F), which is calculated according to

DISCRIM_BW[7:0] = Round

Step 3: Calculate the DISCRIM_PHASE Setting

The phase setting of the discriminator is calculated based on the Discriminator Coefficient K, as described in Tabl e 37. The phase is set using the DISCRIM_PHASE[1:0] value in the RADIO_CFG_6 register (Address 0x112).

AFC

The ADF7023-J features an internal real-time automatic frequency control loop. In receive mode, the control loop automatically monitors the frequency error during the packet preamble sequence and adjusts the receiver synthesizer local oscillator using proportional integral (PI) control. The AFC frequency error measurement bandwidth is targeted specifically at the packet preamble sequence (dc free). AFC is supported during 2FSK/GFSK/MSK/GMSK demodulation.

AFC can be configured to lock on detection of the qualified preamble or on detection of the qualified sync word. To lock AFC on detection of the qualified preamble, set AFC_LOCK_ MODE = 3 (Address 0x116) and ensure that preamble detection is enabled in the PREAMBLE_MATCH register (Address 0x11B). AFC lock is released if the sync word is not detected immediately after the end of the preamble. In packet mode, if the qualified preamble is followed by a qualified sync word, the AFC lock is maintained for the duration of the packet. In sport mode, the AFC lock is released on transitioning back to the PHY_ON state or when a CMD_PHY_RX is issued while in the PHY_RX state.

To lock AFC on detection of the qualified sync word, set AFC_LOCK_MODE = 3 and ensure that preamble detection is disabled in the PREAMBLE_MATCH register (Address 0x11B). If this mode is selected, consideration must be given to the selection of the sync word. The sync word should be dc free and have short run lengths yet low correlation with the preamble sequence. See the sync word description in the Packet Mode section for further

details. After lock on detection of the qualified sync word, the AFC lock is maintained for the duration of the packet. In sport mode, the AFC lock is released on transitioning back to the PHY_ON state or when CMD_ PHY_RX is issued while in the PHY_RX state.

AFC is enabled by setting the AFC_LOCK_MODE bits in the RADIO_CFG_10 register (Address 0x116), as described in Table 38.

Table 38. AFC Mode

AFC_LOC K_MODE [1:0] Mode

0 Free running: AFC is free running. 1 Disabled: AFC is disabled. 2 Hold: AFC is paused. 3 Lock: AFC locks after the preamble

or sync word.

The bandwidth of the AFC loop can be controlled by the AFC_KI and AFC_KP bits in the RADIO_CFG_11 register (Address 0x117).

The maximum AFC pull-in range is automatically set based on the programmed IF filter bandwidth (the IFBW bits in the RADIO_CFG_9 register (Address 0x115).

Table 39. Maximum AFC Pull-In Range

100 ±50

200 ±100 300 ±150

AFC and Preamble Length

The AFC requires a certain number of the received preamble bits to correct the frequency error between the transmitter and the receiver. The number of preamble bits required depends on the data rate and whether the AFC is locked on detection of the qualified preamble or locked on detection of the qualified sync word. This is discussed in more detail in the Recommended Receiver Settings for 2FSK/GFSK/MSK/GMSK section.

AFC Readback

The frequency error between the received carrier and the receiver local oscillator can be measured when AFC is enabled. The error value can be read from the FREQUENCY_ERROR_READBACK register (Address 0x372), where each LSB equates to 1 kHz. The value is a twos complement number. The FREQUENCY_ERROR_ READBACK value is valid in the PHY_RX state after the AFC has been locked. The value is retained in the FREQUENCY_ ERROR_READBACK register after recovering a packet and transitioning back to the PHY_ON state.

Post-Demodulator Filter

A second-order, digital low-pass filter removes excess noise from the demodulated bit stream at the output of the discriminator. The bandwidth of this post-demodulator filter is programmable and must be optimized for the user’s data rate and received modulation type. If the bandwidth is set too narrow, performance degrades due to inter-symbol interference (ISI). If the bandwidth is set

Rev. A | Page 73 of 104

too wide, excess noise degrades the performance of the receiver. For optimum performance, the post-demodulator filter bandwidth should be set close to 0.75 times the data rate (when using FSK/GFSK/MSK/GMSK modulation). The actual bandwidth of the post-demodulator filter is given by

Post-Demodulator Filter Bandwidth (kHz) = POST_DEMOD_BW × 2

where POST_DEMOD_BW is set in the RADIO_CFG_4 register (Address 0x110).

CLOCK RECOVERY

An oversampled digital clock and data recovery (CDR) PLL is used to resynchronize the received bit stream to a local clock in all modulation modes. The maximum symbol rate tolerance of the CDR PLL is determined by the number of bit transitions in the transmitted bit stream. For example, during reception of a 010101 preamble, the CDR achieves a maximum data rate tolerance of ±3.0%. However, this tolerance is reduced during recovery of the remainder of the packet where symbol transitions may not be guaranteed to occur at regular intervals during the payload data. To maximize data rate tolerance of the receiver’s CDR, 8b/10b encoding or Manchester encoding should be enabled, which guarantees a maximum number of contiguous bits in the transmitted bit stream. Data whitening can also be enabled on the ADF7023-J to break up long sequences of contiguous data bit patterns.

Using 2FSK/GFSK/MSK/GMSK modulation, it is also possible to tolerate uncoded payload data fields and payload data fields with long run length coding constraints if the data rate tolerance and packet length are both constrained. More details of CDR operation using uncoded packet formats are discussed in the

AN-915 Application Note.

The CDR PLL of the ADF7023-J is optimized for fast acquisition of the recovered symbols during preamble and typically achieves bit synchronization within five symbol transitions of preamble.

RECOMMENDED RECEIVER SETTINGS FOR 2FSK/GFSK/MSK/GMSK

To optimize the ADF7023-J receiver performance and to ensure the lowest possible packet error rate, it is recommended to use the following configurations:

• Set the recommended AGC low and high thresholds and

the AGC clock divide.

• Set the recommended AFC Ki and Kp parameters.

• Use a preamble length ≥ the minimum recommended

preamble length.

• When the AGC is configured to lock on the sync word at

data rates greater than 200 kbps, it is recommended to set the sync word error tolerance to one bit.

The recommended settings for AGC, AFC, preamble length, and sync word are summarized in

To optimize the receiver for robust packet error rate performance, when using minimum preamble length over the full input power range, it is recommended to overwrite the default AGC settings in the MCR memory. The recommended settings are as follows:

• AGC_HIGH_THRESHOLD (Address 0x35F) = 0x78

• AGC_LOW_THRESHOLD (Address 0x35E) = 0x46

• AGC_CLK_DIVIDE (Address 0x32F) = 0x0F or 0x19

(depends on the data rate; see Table 41)

MCR memory is not retained in PHY_SLEEP; therefore, to allow the use of these optimized AGC settings in low power mode applications, a static register fix can be used. An example static register fix to write to the AGC settings in MCR memory is shown in Tab l e 40.

Note that the accuracy of the RSSI readback is degraded with these modified settings.

Recommended AFC Settings

The bandwidth of the AFC loop is controlled by the AFC_KI and AFC_KP bits in the RADIO_CFG_11 register (Address 0x117). To ensure optimum AFC accuracy while minimizing the AFC settling time (and thus the required preamble length), the AFC_KI and AFC_KP bits should be set as outlined in Tabl e 41.

Recommended Preamble Length

When AFC is locked on preamble detection, the minimum preamble length is between 40 bits and 60 bits depending on the data rate. When AFC is set to lock on sync word detection, the minimum preamble length is between 14 bits and 32 bits, depending on the data rate. When AFC and preamble detection are disabled, the minimum preamble length is dependent on the AGC settling time and the CDR acquisition time and is between 8 bits and 24 bits, depending on the data rate. The required preamble length for various data rates and receiver configurations is summarized in Table 41.

Recommended Sync Word Tolerance

At data rates greater than 200 kbps and when the AGC is configured to lock on the sync word, it is recommended to set the sync word error tolerance to one bit (SYNC_ERROR_TOL = 1). This prevents an AGC gain change during sync word reception causing a packet loss by allowing one bit error in the received sync word.

Setup 1: AFC and AGC are configured to lock on preamble detection by setting AFC_LOCK_MODE = 3 and AGC_LOCK_MODE = 3.

Setup 2: AFC and AGC are configured to lock on sync word detection by setting AFC_LOCK_MODE = 3, AGC_LOCK_MODE = 3, and PREAMBLE_MATCH = 0. Setup 3: AFC is disabled and AGC is configured to lock on sync word detection by setting AFC_LOCK_MODE = 1, AGC_LOCK_MODE = 3, and PREAMBLE_MATCH = 0. For Setup 2 and Setup 3, sync word length is 24 bits. Sync word detect length has an impact on minimum preamble length.

The AGC high threshold is configured by writing to the AGC_HIGH_THRESHOLD register (Address 0x35F). The AGC low threshold is configured by writing to the

AGC_LOW_THRESHOLD register (Address 0x35E). The AGC clock divide is configured by writing to the AGC_CLK_DIVIDE register (Address 0x32F). Note that the accuracy of the RSSI readback is degraded with these modified AGC threshold settings.

The AFC is enabled or disabled by writing to the AFC_LOCK_MODE setting in register RADIO_CFG_10 (Address 0x116). The AFC Ki and Kp parameters are configured

by writing to the AFC_KP and AFC_KI settings in the RADIO_CFG_11 register (Address 0x117).

The transmit preamble length (in bytes) is set by writing to the PREAMBLE_LEN register (Address 0x11D).

The sync word error tolerance (in bits) is set by writing to the SYNC_ERROR_TOL setting in the SYNC_CONTROL register (Address 0x120).

PERIPHERAL FEATURES

ANALOG-TO-DIGITAL CONVERTER

The ADF7023-J supports an integrated SAR ADC for digitization of analog signals that include the analog temperature sensor, the analog RSSI level, and an external analog input signal (Pin 30). The conversion time is typically 1 µs. The result of the conversion can be read from the ADC_READBACK_HIGH register (Address 0x327), and the ADC_READBACK_LOW register (Address 0x328). The ADC readback is an 8-bit value.

The signal source for the ADC input is selected via the ADC_CONFIG_LOW register (Address 0x359). In the PHY_RX state, the source is automatically set to the analog RSSI. The ADC is automatically enabled in PHY_RX. In other radio states, the host processor must enable the ADC by setting POWERDOWN_RX (Address 0x324) = 0x10.

To perform an ADC readback, the following procedure should be completed:

1. Read ADC_READBACK_HIGH. This initializes an ADC

readback.

2. Read ADC_READBACK_LOW. This returns

ADC_READBACK[1:0] of the ADC sample.

3. Read ADC_READBACK_HIGH. This returns

ADC_READBACK[7:2] of the ADC sample.

TEMPERATURE SENSOR

The integrated temperature sensor has an operating range between

−40°C and +85°C. To enable readback of the temperature sensor in PHY_OFF, PHY_ON, or PHY_TX, the following registers must be set:

1. Set POWERDOWN_RX (Address 0x324) = 0x10 = 0x10.

This enables the ADC.

2. Set POWERDOWN_AUX (Address 0x325) = 0x02. This

enables the temperature sensor.

3. Set ADC_CONFIG_LOW (Address 0x359) = 0x08. This

sets the ADC input to the temperature sensor.

The temperature is determined from the ADC readback value using the following formula:

Temperature (°C) = 0.9474 × (ADC_READBACK[7:0] – CalibrationValue[7:0]) + T

The CalibrationValue[7:0] is determined via an ADC readback at a single known temperature, TCalibration.

Calibration

TEST DAC

The test DAC allows the output of the post-demodulator filter to be viewed externally. It takes the 16-bit filter output and

converts it to a high frequency, single-bit output using a secondorder Σ-Δ converter. The output can be viewed on the GP0 pin. This signal, when filtered appropriately, can be used to

• Monitor the signal at the post-demodulator filter output

• Measure the demodulator output SNR

• Construct an eye diagram of the received bit stream to

measure the received signal quality

• Implement analog FM demodulation

To enable the test DAC, the GPIO_CONFIGURE setting (Address 0x3FA) should be set to 0xC9. The TEST_DAC_GAIN setting (Address 0x3FD) should be set to 0x00. The test DAC signal at the GP0 pin can be filtered with a 3-stage, low-pass RC filter to reconstruct the demodulated signal. For more information, see the AN-852 Application Note.

TRANSMIT TEST MODES

There are two transmit test modes that are enabled by setting the VA R _TX_MODE parameter (Address 0x00D in packet RAM memory), as described in Tabl e 42 should be set before entering the PHY_TX state.

SILICON REVISION READBACK

The product code and silicon revision code can be read from the packet RAM memory as described in Tab l e 43. The values of the product code and silicon revision code are valid only on power-up or wake-up from the PHY_SLEEP state because the communications processor overwrites these values on transitioning from the PHY_ON state.

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION

APPLICATION CIRCUIT

A typical application circuit for the ADF7023-J is shown in Figure 84. All external components required for operation of the device, excluding supply decoupling capacitors, are shown. This example circuit uses a combined single-ended PA and LNA match. Further details on matching topologies and different host processor interfaces are given in the Host Processor Interface section and the PA/LNA Matching section.

HOST PROCESSOR INTERFACE

The interface, when using packet mode, between the ADF7023-J and the host processor is shown in Figure 82. In packet mode, all communication between the host processor and the ADF7023-J occurs on the SPI interface and the IRQ_GP3 pin. The interface between the ADF7023-J and the host processor in sport mode is shown in Figure 83. In sport mode, the transmit and receive data interface consists of the GP0, GP1, and GP2 pins and a separate interrupt is available on GP4, while the SPI interface is used for memory access and issuing of commands.

PA/LNA MATCHING

The ADF7023-J has a differential LNA and both a single-ended PA and differential PA. This flexibility allows numerous possibilities in interfacing the ADF7023-J to the antenna.

Combined Single-Ended PA and LNA Match

The combined single-ended PA and LNA match allows the transmit and receive paths to be combined without the use of an external transmit/receive switch. The matching network design is shown in Figure 86. The differential LNA match is a five-element discrete balun giving a single-ended input. The single-ended PA output is a three-element match consisting of the choke inductor to the CREGRF2 regulated supply and an inductor and capacitor series.

The LNA and PA paths are combined, and a seventh-order harmonic filter provides attenuation of the transmit harmonics. In a combined match, the off impedances of the PA and LNA must be considered. This can lead to a small loss in transmit power and degradation in receiver sensitivity in comparison with a separate single-ended PA and LNA match. However, with optimum matching, the typical loss in transmit power is <1 dB, and the degradation in sensitivity is <1 dB when compared with a separate PA and LNA matching topology.

Separate Single-Ended PA/LNA Match

The separate single-ended PA and LNA matching configuration is illustrated in Figure 85. The network is the same as the combined matching network shown in Figure 86 except that the transmit and receive paths are separate. An external transmit/receive antenna switch can be used to combine the transmit and receive paths to allow connection to an antenna. In designing this matching network, it is not necessary to consider the off impedances of the PA and LNA, and, thus, achieving an optimum match is less complex than with the combined single-ended PA a nd L NA m atc h.

Figure 85. Separate Single-Ended PA and LNA Match

Combined Differential PA/LNA Match

In this matching topology, the single-ended PA is not used. The differential PA and LNA match comprises a five-element discrete balun giving a single-ended input/output, as illustrated in Figure 87. The harmonic filter is used to minimize the RF harmonics from the differential PA.

Transmit Antenna Diversity

Transmit antenna diversity is possible using the differential PA and single-ended PA. The required matching network is shown in Figure 88.

Support for External PA and LNA Control

The ADF7023-J provides independent control signals for an external PA or LNA. If the EXT_PA_EN bit is set to 1 in the MODE_CONTROL register (Address 0x11A), the external PA control signal is logic high while the ADF7023-J is in the PHY_TX state and logic low while in any other state. If the EXT_LNA_EN bit is set to 1 in the MODE_CONTROL register

(Address 0x11A), the external LNA control signal is logic high while the ADF7023-J is in the PHY_RX state and logic low while in any other state.

The external PA and LNA control signals can be configured using the EXT_PA_LNA_ATB_CONFIG setting (Address 0x139) as described in Tab l e 44.

[7:0] STATIC_REG_FIX R/W The ADF7023-J has the ability to implement automatic static register fixes

from BBRAM memory to MCR memory. This feature allows a maximum of nine MCR registers to be programmed via BBRAM memory. This feature is useful if MCR registers must be configured for optimum receiver performance in low power mode. The STATIC_REG_FIX value is an address pointer to any BBRAM memory address between 0x12A and 0x13D. For example, to point to BBRAM Address 0x12B, set STATIC_REG_FIX = 0x2B.

• If STATIC_REG_FIX = 0x00, then static register fixes are disabled.

• If STATIC_REG_FIX is nonzero, the communications processor looks for

the MCR address and corresponding data at the BBRAM address

beginning at STATIC_REG_FIX. Example: write 0x46 to MCR Register 0x35E and write 0x78 to MCR Register 0x35F. Set STATIC_REG_FIX = 0x2B.
