FUNC TIONAL DESCRIPTION
Receiver chain
The receiver chain transforms the RF frequency signals to an IF signal at 1.84 MHz Carrier directly usable by
the Channel decoder.
In front of the STA001 IC it can be placed an external LNA and a bandpass filter; the bandpass filter limitates
the input bandwidth and guarantees a suitable rejection to the image frequency.
The STA001 input stage is a LNA working in the 1452-1492 MHz band . The RF signal is downconverted, using
an active mixer, to a first IF of 115.244 MHz. The first LO is tunable with a frequency step of 460 KHz.
The RF can be reduced 5dB by an external trimmer/resistor connected between PADJ1 and PADJ2 pins.
An IF variable gain amplifier guarantees 54 dB typical of gain range.
Using pins GADJ1, GADJ2, the output RX signal level can be decreased to the desired val ue by an external
trimmer/resistor.
Moreover, the IF chain can be configured to have a fixed gain by fixing statically control voltages on AGC1 and
AGC2 pins (i.e. V(AGC1)=VCC and V(AGC2)=GND), and by trimming the gain through connecting an external
resistor between GADJ1 and GADJ2.
By using an 800 Ohm resistor connected between GADJ1 and GADJ2, for example, a typical 56 dBs IF static
gain is obtained.
The first IF si gnal, having a bandwidth of 2.5 MHz, shaped by an external SAW filter , is downconverted to a
second IF of 1.84 MHz.
A differential clock output at 14.72 MHz is available to be used from the baseband.
Synthesizers, PLL, charge pump and VCOs
The first Voltage controlled Oscillator is controlled by an integrated PLL and it's able to cover a frequency range
of 37MHz with a step size of 460 KHz.
The second Voltage controlled oscillator produces a fixed 117.08MHz frequency controlled by a second integrated PLL. Moreover, the 2nd PLL is able to select 2 other fixed frequencies, i.e. 111.76MHz and 122.4MHz,
suitable for application test.
The other components of the first PLL sy nthesizer are a low frequency programmable divider and a dual m odulus prescaler; a fixed dividers is ins tead used to synthesize the second VCO frequency. Other fixed internal
dividers are used to get the comparation frequencies of both loops.
Channel selection is made through the I

CBUS interface , directly from the µP.
POWER SUPPLIES
The chip operates from an unregulated power supply of 2.7 to 3. 3 Volts . All i nt erface circui ts to t he baseband
chips are operating between these supplies unless otherwise specified.
INTERFACE SPECIFICATION
All the interface voltage levels to the micro controller are referenced to the supply voltage of the interface power
supply (GND) . The interface voltage levels are therefore fully compatible with the base band circuits.
The digital levels are all CMOS threshold compatible with the exception of M_CLK 1, M _CLK2 pins (ECL type).
For completeness all other interface signals are also included.
I2C BUS INTERFACE
Data transmission from m icroproce ssor to the STA001 takes place through the 2 wires I2C BUS interface, consisting
of the two lines SDA and SCL (pull-up resistors to positive supply voltage must be connected to SDA and SCL).

Data Validity
The data on the SDA line must be stable during the high period of the clock. The HIGH to LOW state of the data
line can only change when the clock signal on the SCL line is LOW.
Start and Stop conditions
A start condition is a HIGH to LOW transition of the SDA line while SCL is HIGH. The stop condition is a LOW
to HIGH transition of the SDA line while SCL is HIGH.
Byte format
Every byte transferred on the SDA line must contains bits. Each byte must be followed by an acknowledge bit.
The MSB is transferred first.
Acknowledge
The master (µP) puts a resistive HIGH level on the SDA line during the acknowledge clock pulse. The peripheral
(STA001) that acknowledges has to pull-down (LOW) the SDA line during the clock pulse.
The STA001 which has been addressed has to generate an acknowledge after the reception of each byte, otherwise the SDA line remains at at the HIGH level during the ninth clock pulse time. In this case the
erate the STOP information in order to abort the transfer.

Transmission without acknwoledge
Avoiding to detect the acknowlegde of the STA001, the µP can use a simpler transmission: simply it waits one
clock period without checking the STA001 acknowledging, and sends the new data.
This approach of course is less protected from misworking.

SOFTWARE SPECIFICATION
Interface protocol
The interface protocol comprises:
- A start condition (S)
- A chip address byte
- A two data bytes
- A stop condition (P)

"Byte by byte" option
A "byte by byte" programming mode is also possible when there is no need to use both data bytes to program
the chip (for example during the setup of 2nd PLL).
To use this feature remember that first bit of both data bytes is reserved to chose the destination of the remaining
7 bits.
