GENERAL DESCRIPTION

The ADF7011 is a low power OOK/ASK/FSK/GFSK UHF transmitter designed for use in ISM band systems. It contains and integrated VCO and Σ-∆ fractional-N PLL. The output power, channel spacing, and output frequency are program­mable with four 24-bit registers. The fractional-N PLL enables the user to select any channel frequency within the European 433 MHz and 868 MHz bands, allowing the use of the ADF7011 in frequency hopping systems. The fractional-N also allows the transmitter to operate in the less congested sub-bands of the 868 MHz to 870 MHz SRD band.
It is possible to choose from the four different modulation schemes: Binary or Gaussian Frequency Shift Keying (FSK/ GFSK), Amplitude Shift Keying (ASK), or On/Off Keying (OOK). The device also features a crystal compensation register that can provide ±1 ppm resolution in the output frequency. Indirect temperature compensation of the crystal can be accom­plished inexpensively using this register.
Control of the four on-chip registers is via a simple 3-wire inter­face. The devices operate with a power supply ranging from
2.3 V to 3.6 V and can be powered down when not in use.

NOTES
1
Operating temperature range is as follows: –40C to +85C.
2
Datarates should be limited to adhere to edge of band requirements in accordance with ETSI 300-220
3
Frequency Deviation = (PFD Frequency Mod Deviation )/212. GFSK Frequency Deviation = (PFD Frequency  2m)/2
4
The output power is limited by the spurious requirements of ETSI at +55C. The addition of an output filter (see Applications section) will allow increased output
levels to >10 dBm at both 433 MHz and 868 MHz
5
VDD = 3 V, PFD = 4 MHz, PA = 10 dBm
6
VDD = 3 V, Loop Filter BW = 100 kHz
7
VDD = 3 V, PFD = 4.42368 MHz, PA = 3 dBm
8
VDD = 3 V, Loop Filter BW = 100 kHz
9
These spurious levels are based on a maximum output power of +3 dBm for 868 MHz and +10 dBm for 433 MHz. It assumes a PFD frequency of <5 MHz. Recommended PFD frequencies are 4.42368 MHz (22.1184/5) for 868 MHz, and 4 MHz for 433 MHz operation. Compliance for higher output powers will require an external filter. See Applications section.

CAUTION
ESD (electrostatic discharge) sensitive device. Electrostatic charges as high as 4000 V readily accumulate on the human body and test equipment and can discharge without detection. Although the ADF7011 features proprietary ESD protection circuitry, permanent damage may occur on devices subjected to high energy electrostatic discharges. Therefore, proper ESD precautions are recommended to avoid performance degradation or loss of functionality.

Charge Pump Output. This output generates current pulses that are integrated in the loop filter. The integrated current changes the control voltage on the input to the VCO.
5CEChip Enable. A logic low applied to this pin powers down the part. This must be high for the part to
function. This is the only way to power down the regulator circuit.
6 DATA Serial Data Input. The serial data is loaded MSB first with the two LSBs being the control bits. This is a
high impedance CMOS input.
7 CLK Serial Clock Input. This serial clock is used to clock in the serial data to the registers. The data is latched
into the 24-bit shift register on the CLK rising edge. This input is a high impedance CMOS input.
8LELoad Enable, CMOS Input. When LE goes high, the data stored in the shift registers is loaded into one
of the four latches, the latch being selected using the control bits.
9 TxDATA Digital data to be transmitted is input on this pin.
10 TxCLK GFSK Only. This clock output is used to synchronize microcontroller data to the TxDATA pin of the
ADF7011. The clock is provided at the same frequency as the data rate.
11 MUXOUT This multiplexer output allows either the digital lock detect (most common), the scaled RF, or the scaled
reference frequency to be accessed externally. Used commonly for system debug. See the Function Regis­ter Map.

Ground Pin for the RF Digital Circuitry.
The Divided Down Crystal Reference with 50:50 Mark-Space Ratio. May be used to drive the clock input of a microcontroller. To reduce spurious components in the output spectrum, the sharp edges can be reduced with a series RC. For 4.8 MHz output clock, a series 50 into 10 pF will reduce spurs to < –50 dBc. Defaults on power-up to divide by 16.
14 OSC2 Oscillator Pin. If a single-ended reference (such as a TCXO) is used, it should be applied to this pin.
When using an external signal generator, a 51 resistor should be tied from this pin to ground. The XOE bit in the R register should set high when using an external reference.

CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION Reference Input Section
The on-board crystal oscillator circuitry (Figure 2), allows the use of an inexpensive quartz crystal as the PLL reference. The oscillator circuit is enabled by setting XOE low. It is enabled by default on power-up and is disabled by bringing CE low. Two parallel resonant capacitors are required for oscillation at the correct frequency; the value of these is dependant on the crystal specification. Errors in the crystal can be corrected using the error correction register within the R register. A single-ended reference (TCXO, CXO) may be used. The CMOS levels should be applied to OSC2, with XOE set high.

Prescaler, Phase Frequency Detector (PFD), and Charge Pump

The dual-modulus prescaler (P/P + 1) divides the RF signal from the VCO to a lower frequency that is manageable by the CMOS counters.
The PFD takes inputs from the R Counter and the N Counter (N = Int + Fraction) and produces an output proportional to the phase and frequency difference between them. Figure 4 is a simplified schematic.

the function register high. On power-up, this bit is set high. The output buffer can drive up to a 20 pF load with a 10% rise time at 4.8 MHz. Faster edges can result in some spurious feedthrough to the output. A small series resistor (50 ) can be used to slow the clock edges to reduce these spurs at F
CLK
.

R Counter

The 4-bit R Counter divides the reference input frequency by an integer from 1 to 15. The divided down signal is presented as the reference clock to the phase frequency detector (PFD). The divide ratio is set in the R register. Maximizing the PFD frequency reduces the N value. Having a higher PFD will result in a higher level of spurious components. A PFD of close to 4 MHz is recommended. This reduces the noise multi­plied at a rate of 20 log(N) to the output, as well as reduces occurrences of spurious components. The R register defaults to R = 1 on power-up.
Figure 4. PFD Stage
The PFD includes a delay element that sets the width of the antibacklash pulse. The typical value for this in the ADF7011 is 3 ns. This pulse ensures that there is no dead zone in the PFD transfer function and minimizes phase noise and reference spurs.

MUXOUT and Lock Detect

The MUXOUT pin allows the user to access various internal points in the ADF7011. The state of MUXOUT is controlled by Bits M1 to M4 in the function register.

Regulator Ready

This is the default setting on MUXOUT after the transmitter has been powered up. The power-up time of the regulator is typically 50 µs. Since the serial interface is powered from the regulator, it is necessary for the regulator to be at its nominal voltage before the ADF7011 can be programmed. The status of the regulator can be monitored at MUXOUT. Once the Regulator Ready signal on MUXOUT is high, programming of the ADF7011 may begin.

Digital Lock Detect
Digital lock detect is active high. The lock detect circuit is con­tained at the PFD. When the phase error on five consecutive cycles is less than 15 ns, lock detect is set high. Lock detect remains high until 25 ns phase error is detected at the PFD. Since no external components are needed for digital lock detect, it is more widely used than analog lock detect.
Analog Lock Detect
This N-channel open-drain lock detect should be operated with an external pull-up resistor of 10 knominal. When lock has been detected, this output will be high with narrow low-going pulses.

Voltage Regulator

The ADF7011 requires a stable voltage source for the VCO and modulation blocks. The on-board regulator provides 2.2 V using a band gap reference. A 2.2 µF capacitor from C
REG
to ground is used to improve stability of the regulator over a sup­ply ranging from 2.3 V to 3.6 V. The regulator consumes less than 400 µA and can only be powered down using the chip enable (CE) pin. Bringing CE low disables the regulator and also erases all values held in the registers. The serial interface operates off the regulator supply; therefore, to write to the part, the user must have CE high. Regulator status can be monitored using the Regulator Ready signal from MUXOUT.

Loop Filter

The loop filter integrates the current pulses from the charge pump to form a voltage that tunes the output of the VCO to the desired frequency. It also attenuates spurious levels generated by the PLL. A typical loop filter design is shown in Figure 6.
CHARGE
PUMP OUT
VCO
Figure 6. Typical Loop Filter Configuration––Third Order Integrator
In FSK, the loop should be designed so that the loop bandwidth (LBW) is approximately five times the data rate. Widening the LBW excessively reduces the time spent jumping between frequencies but may cause insufficient spurious attenuation.
For ASK systems, the wider the loop BW the better. The sud­den large transition between two power levels will result in VCO pulling and can cause a wider output spectrum than is desired. By widening the loop BW to >10 times the data rate, the amount of the VCO pulling is reduced since the loop will quickly settle back to the correct frequency. The wider LBW may restrict the output power and data rate of ASK based systems, compared with FSK based systems.
Narrow-loop bandwidths may result in the loop taking long periods of time to attain lock. Careful design of the loop filter is critical in obtaining accurate FSK/GFSK modulation.
For GFSK, it is recommended that an LBW of 2.0 to 2.5 times the data rate be used to ensure sufficient samples are taken of the input data while filtering system noise.

Voltage Controlled Oscillator (VCO)

An on-chip VCO is included on the transmitter. The VCO con­verts the control voltage generated by the loop filter into an output frequency that is sent to the antenna via the power amplifier (PA). The VCO has a typical gain of 80 MHz/V and operates from 866 MHz to 870 MHz. The PD1 bit in the function regis­ter is the active high bit that turns on the VCO. A frequency divided by 2 is included to allow operation in the lower 450 MHz band. To enable operation in the lower band, the V1 bit in the N Register should be set to 1.
The VCO needs an external 220 nF between the VCO and the regulator to reduce internal noise.

FSK GFSK: The output power is set using the modulation
Register by entering a 7-bit number into Bits P1–P7. The two MSBs set the range of the output stage, while the five LSBs set the output power in the selected range.
ASK: The output power as set up for FSK is the output
power for a TxDATA of 1. The output power for a zero data bit is set up the same way but using Bits D1–D7.
The output stage is powered down by setting Bit PD2 in the function register to zero.

Serial Interface

The serial interface allows the user to program the four 24-bit registers using a 3-wire interface (CLK, Data, and Load Enable).
The serial interface consists of a level shifter, a 24-bit shift regis­ter, and four latches. Signals should be CMOS compatible. The serial interface is powered by the regulator, and therefore is inactive when CE is low.

Data is clocked into the shift register, MSB first, on the rising edge of each clock (CLK). Data is transferred to one of four latches on the rising edge of LE. The destination latch is deter­mined by the value of the two control bits (C2 and C1). These are the two LSBs, DB1 and DB0, as shown in the timing dia­gram of Figure 1.

Fractional-N

N Counter and Error Correction
The ADF7011 consists of a 15-bit - fractional-N divider. The N Counter divides the output frequency to the output stage back to the PFD frequency. It consists of a prescaler, integer, and fractional part.
The prescaler can be 4/5 or 8/9. A prescaler setting of 8/9 is recommended for 868 MHz operation. A prescaler setting of 4/5 is recommended for 433 MHz operation.

By default, this will be set to 0. The user can calibrate the system and set this by writing a twos complement number to Bits F1–F11 in the R register. This can be used to compensate for initial error, temperature drift, and aging effects in the crystal reference.

For use in the European 868 MHz to 870 MHz band, there is a restriction to using a minimum PFD of 3.4 MHz to allow the user to have a center frequency of 870 MHz.
PFD Frequency
The PFD frequency is the number of times a comparison is made between the reference frequency and the feedback signal from the output.
The higher the PFD frequency, the more often a comparison is made at the PFD. This means that the frequency lock time will be reduced when jumping from one frequency to another by increasing the PFD. Having a PFD of > 5 MHz will reduce the available output power due to EN300-220 spurious regulations.

Gaussian Frequency Shift Keying (GFSK)

Gaussian frequency shift keying reduces the bandwidth occupied by the transmitted spectrum by digitally prefiltering the TxDATA. A TxCLK output line is provided from the ADF7011 for syn­chronization of TxDATA from the microcontroller. The TxCLK line may be connected to the clock input of an external shift register that clocks data to the transmitter at exact data rate.

Amplitude Shift Keying (ASK)

Amplitude shift keying is implemented by switching the output stage between two discrete power levels. This is implemented by toggling the DAC, which controls the output level between two 7-bit values set up in the modulation register. A zero TxDATA bit sends Bits D1–D7 to the DAC. A high TxDATA bit sends Bits P1–P7 to the DAC. A maximum modulation depth of 30 dB is possible. ASK is selected by setting Bit S2 = 1 and Bit S1 = 0.

On-Off Keying (OOK)

On-off keying is implemented by switching the output stage to a certain power level for a high TxDATA bit and switching the output stage off for a zero. Due to feedthrough effects, a maximum modulation depth of 33 dB is specified. For OOK, the transmitted power for a high input is programmed using Bits P1–P7 in the modulation register. OOK is selected by setting Bits S1 and S2 to 1 in the modulation register.

CHOOSING CHANNELS FOR BEST SYSTEM PERFORMANCE

The fractional-N PLL allows the selection of any channel within 868 MHz to 870 MHz to a resolution of <l00 Hz, as well as facilitating frequency hopping systems.
Careful selection of the RF transmit channels must be made to achieve best spurious performance. The architecture of frac­tional-N results in some level of the nearest integer channel moving through the loop to the RF output. These “beat-note” spurs are not attenuated by the loop if the desired RF channel and the nearest integer channel are separated by a frequency of less than the loop BW.
The occurrence of beat-note spurs is rare, as the integer frequen­cies are at multiples of the reference, which is typically >4 MHz.
The beat-note spurs can be significantly reduced in amplitude by avoiding very small or very large values in the fractional register. By having a channel 1 MHz away from an integer fre­quency, a 100 kHz loop filter will reduce the level to < –45 dBc. When using an external VCO, the Fast Lock (bleed) function will reduce the spurs to < –60 dBc for the same conditions above.

Operating Frequency 433.92 MHz Output Power +10 dBm Current Consumption <30 mA Modulation ASK/FSK
This system should be set up as shown Figure 15. The spurious levels using a crystal frequency of 4 MHz are sufficiently low so as not to require any band-pass filtering of the output. However, 2 dB of attenuation will be required at 541.50 MHz in order to comply with ES-300-220. This can be achieved easily with the harmonic filter. The harmonic filter can be designed at the output of the matching network with 50 impedance, or it may be integrated into the matching network. The ADF7011 will allow multichannel operation in the 433 MHz band. If FSK modulation is used, the BW should be about five times the data rate. In the case of ASK modulation, a minimum data rate of 1 MHz should be used to minimize the occupied spectrum. The free design tool, ADIsimPLL, should be down­loaded from www.analog.com/pll to ascertain the values of the filter components.

Application Example 2

Operating Frequency 868.3 MHz Output Power +3 dBm Current Consumption <25 mA Modulation ASK/FSK
In order to meet the ETSI requirement EN300-220, the maxi­mum output power without using a filter is +3 dBm. This is because the spurious levels scale with output power. Utilizing a PFD frequency of 4.42 MHz will reduce the level of the refer­ence spurs, and place the first spur in a –36 dBm bin, 4.4 MHz below the carrier. ADIsimPLL should be used to design the loop filter, aiming for a loop bandwidth of five times the data rate for FSK. ASK modulation requires a loop BW > 1 MHz to minimize spectral occupancy.

Application Example 3

Operating Frequency 868.3 MHz Output Power +10 dBm Current Consumption <40 mA Modulation ASK/FSK
In order to meet the ETSI requirements at +10 dBm output power, it is necessary to add an inexpensive GigaFILT from Murata at the output. This will reduce the prescaler and refer­ence spurious levels to –54 dBm, and also reduce the harmonic levels to within the –30 dBm level. Given that the insertion loss is 2 dB, it is necessary to use the maximum +12 dBm power from the ADF7011 to achieve an antenna port level of +10 dBm. The filter layout is important to ensure that there is margin in the output spectrum; filter data sheet guidelines should be adhered to.
