1.General Description
The ATA5745/ATA5746 is a UHF ASK/FSK transparent receiver IC with low power consumption
supplied in a small QFN24 package (body 5 mm × 5 mm, pitch 0.65 mm). ATA5745 is used in
the 433 MHz to 435 MHz band of operation, and ATA5746 in 313 MHz to 317 MHz. The IC combines the functionality of remote keyless entry (RKE - typically low bit rate ASK) and tire
pressure monitoring (TPM - typically high bit rate FSK) into one receiver under the control of an
external microcontroller such as an ATmega48 (AVR
For improved image rejection and selectivity, the IF frequency is fixed to 440 kHz. The IF block
uses an 8th-order band pass yielding a receive bandwidth of 420 kHz. This enables the use of
the receiver in both SAW- and PLL-based transmitter systems utilizing various types of data-bit
encoding such as pulse width modulation, Manchester modulation, variable pulse modulation,
pulse position modulation, and NRZ. Prevailing encryption protocols such as Keeloq
supported due to the receiver’s ability to hold the current data slicer threshold for up to 52 ms
when incoming RF telegrams contain a blanking interval. This feature eliminates erroneous
noise from appearing on the demodulated data output pin, and simplifies software decoding
algorithms. The decoding of the data stream must be carried out by a connected microcontroller
device. Because of the highly integrated design, the only required RF components are for the
purpose of receiver antenna matching.
ATA5745 and ATA5746 support Manchester bit rates of 1 Kbit/s to 10 Kbits/s in ASK and 1 Kbit/s
to 20 Kbits/s in FSK mode. The four discrete bit rate passbands are selectable and cover
1.0 Kbit/s to 2.5 Kbits/s, 2.0 Kbits/s to 5.0 Kbits/s, 4.0 Kbits/s to 10.0 Kbits/s, and 8.0 Kbits/s to
10.0 Kbits/s or 20.0 Kbits/s (for ASK or FSK, respectively). The receiver contains an RSSI output
to provide an indication of received signal strength and a SENSE input to allow the customer to
select a threshold below which the DATA signal is gated off. ASK/FSK and bit rate ranges are
selected by the connected microcontroller device via pins ASK_NFSK, BR0, and BR1.

2.RF Receiver
As seen in Figure 1-3 on page 4, the RF receiver consists of a low-noise amplifier (LNA), a local
oscillator, and the signal processing part with mixer, IF filter, IF amplifier with analog RSSI,
FSK/ASK demodulator, data filter, and data slicer.
In receive mode, the LNA pre-amplifies the received signal which is converted down to a
440-kHz intermediate frequency (IF), then filtered and amplified before it is fed into an FSK/ASK
demodulator, data filter, and data slicer. The received signal strength indicator (RSSI) signal is
available at the pin RSSI.
2.1Low-IF Receiver
The receive path consists of a fully integrated low-IF receiver. It fulfills the sensitivity, blocking,
selectivity, supply voltage, and supply current specification needed to design an automotive integrated receiver for RKE and TPM systems. A benefit of the integrated receive filter is that no
external components needed.
At 315 MHz, the ATA5745 receiver (433.92 MHz for the ATA5746 receiver) has a typical system
noise figure of 6.0 dB (7.0 dB), a system I1dBCP of –31 dBm (–30 dBm), and a system IIP3 of
–24 dBm (–23 dBm). The signal path is linear for out-of-band disturbers up to the I1dBCP and
hence there is no AGC or switching of the LNA needed, and a better blocking performance is
achieved. This receiver uses an IF (intermediate frequency) of 440 kHz, the typical image rejection is 30 dB and the typical 3-dB IF filter bandwidth is 420 kHz (f
f
10 Kbits/s Manchester with ±38 kHz frequency deviation in FSK mode, thus, the resulting sensitivity at 315 MHz (433.92 MHz) is typically –105 dBm (–104 dBm).

= 650 kHz). The demodulator needs a signal-to-noise ratio of 8.5 dB for
hi_IF
Due to the low phase noise and spurs of the synthesizer together with the 8th-order integrated IF
filter, the receiver has a better selectivity and blocking performance than more complex double
superhet receivers, without using external components and without numerous spurious receiving frequencies.
A low-IF architecture is also less sensitive to second-order intermodulation (IIP2) than direct
conversion receivers where every pulse or amplitude modulated signal (especially the signals
from TDMA systems like GSM) demodulates to the receiving signal band at second-order
non-linearities.

2.2Input Matching at LNA_IN
The measured input impedances as well as the values of a parallel equivalent circuit of these
impedances can be seen in Table 2-1. The highest sensitivity is achieved with power matching
of these impedances to the source impedance.
Table 2-1.Measured Input Impedances of the LNA_IN Pin
fRF [MHz]ZIn(RF_IN) [Ω]R
433.92(55 – j216)900Ω//1.60
The matching of the LNA input to 50Ω is done using the circuit shown in Figure 2-1 and the val-
ues of the matching elements given in Table 2-2. The reflection coefficients were always
≤ –10 dB. Note that value changes of C1 and L1 may be necessary to compensate individual
board layout parasitics. The measured typical FSK and ASK Manchester-code sensitivities with
a bit error rate (BER) of 10
ments were done with wire-wound inductors having quality factors reported in Table 2-2,
resulting in estimated matching losses of 0.8 dB at 315 MHz and 433.92 MHz. These losses can
be estimated when calculating the parallel equivalent resistance of the inductor with
R
=2×π×f × L × QL and the matching loss with 10 log(1+R

2.3Sensitivity Versus Supply Voltage, Temperature and Frequency Offset
To calculate the behavior of a transmission system, it is important to know the reduction of the
sensitivity due to several influences. The most important are frequency offset due to crystal
oscillator (XTO) and crystal frequency (XTAL) errors, temperature and supply voltage dependency of the noise figure, and IF-filter bandwidth of the receiver. Figure 2-2 and Figure 2-3 on
page 8 show the typical sensitivity at 315 MHz, ASK, 2.4 Kbits/s and 9.6 Kbits/s, Manchester,

As can be seen in Figure 2-5 on page 9, the supply voltage has almost no influence. The temperature has an influence of about ±1.0 dB, and a frequency offset of ±160 kHz also influences
by about ±1 dB. All these influences, combined with the sensitivity of a typical IC (–105 dB), are
then within a range of –103.0 dBm and –107.0 dBm over temperature, supply voltage, and frequency offset. The integrated IF filter has an additional production tolerance of ±10 kHz, hence,
a frequency offset between the receiver and the transmitter of ±160 kHz can be accepted for
XTAL and XTO tolerances.
Note:For the demodulator used in the ATA5745/ATA5746, the tolerable frequency offset does not
change with the data frequency. Hence, the value of ±160 kHz is valid for 1 Kbit/s to 10 Kbits/s.
This small sensitivity change over supply voltage, frequency offset, and temperature is very
unusual in such a receiver. It is achieved by an internal, very fast, and automatic frequency correction in the FSK demodulator after the IF filter, which leads to a higher system margin. This
frequency correction tracks the input frequency very quickly. If, however, the input frequency
makes a larger step (for example, if the system changes between different communication partners), the receiver has to be restarted. This can be done by switching back to Standby mode
and then again to Active mode (pin RX 1

→1 → 0).
→ 0 → 1) or by generating a positive pulse on pin
2.4Frequency Accuracy of the Crystals in a Combined RKE and TPM System
In a tire pressure measurement system working at 315 MHz and using an ATA5756 as transmitter and an ATA5746 is receiver, the higher frequency tolerances and the tolerance of the
frequency deviation of the transmitter has to be considered.
In the TPM transmitter, the crystal has a frequency error over temperature –40°C to 125°C,
aging, and tolerance of ±80 ppm (±25.2 kHz at 315 MHz). The tolerances of the XTO, the
capacitors used for FSK modulation, and the stray capacitances cause an additional frequency
error of ±30 ppm (±9.45 kHz at 315 MHz). The frequency deviation of such a transmitter varies
between ±16 kHz and ±24 kHz, since a higher frequency deviation is equivalent to a frequency
error this has to be considered as an additional ±24 kHz – ±19.5 kHz = ±4.5kHz frequency tolerance (19.5 kHz is constant). All tolerances added, these transmitters have a worst-case
frequency offset of ±39.15 kHz.
For the receiver in the car, a tolerance of ±160 kHz – ±39.15 kHz = ±120.85 kHz (±383.6 ppm)
remains. The needed frequency stability of the crystals over temperature and aging is
±383.6 ppm – ±5 ppm = ±378.6 ppm. The aging of such a crystal is ±10 ppm, leaving a reasonable ±368.6 ppm for the temperature dependency of the crystal frequency in the car.
Since the receiver in the car is able to receive these TPM transmitter signals with high frequency
offsets, the component specification in the key can be largely relaxed.
This system calculation is based on worst-case tolerances of all the components; this leads in
practice to a system with margin.
For a 433.92 MHz TPM system using ATA5757 as transmitter and ATA5745 as receiver, the
same calculation must be done, but since the RF frequency is higher, every ppm of crystal tolerances results in higher frequency offset and either the system must have lower tolerances or a
lower margin at this frequency.

2.6Blocking, Selectivity
As can be seen in Figure 2-6 on page 11, and Figure 2-7 and Figure 2-8 on page 12, the
receiver can receive signals 3 dB higher than the sensitivity level in the presence of large blockers of –34.5 dBm or –28 dBm with small frequency offsets of ±3 MHz or ±20 MHz.
Figure 2-6, and Figure 2-7 on page 12 show the narrow-band blocking, and Figure 2-8 on page
12 shows the wide-band blocking characteristic. The measurements were done with a useful
signal of 315 MHz, FSK, 10 Kbits/s, ±38 kHz, Manchester, BR_Range2 with a level of
–105 dBm + 3 dB = –102 dBm, which is 3 dB above the sensitivity level. The figures show how
much larger than –102 dBm a continuous wave signal can be, until the BER is higher than 10
–3
The measurements were done at the 50Ω input shown in Figure 2-1 on page 6. At 3 MHz, for
example, the blocker can be 67.5 dBC higher than –102 dBm, or
–102 dBm + 67.5 dBC = –34.5 dBm.

The ATA5745/ATA5746 can also receive FSK and ASK modulated signals if they are much
higher than the I1dBCP. It can typically receive useful signals at
to as the nonlinear dynamic range (that is, the maximum to minimum receiving signal), and is
95 dB for 10 Kbits/s Manchester (FSK). This value is useful if the transmitter and receiver are
very close to each other.
2.7In-band Disturbers, Data Filter, Quasi-peak Detector, Data Slicer
If a disturbing signal falls into the received band, or if a blocker is not a continuous wave, the
performance of a receiver strongly depends on the circuits after the IF filter. Hence, the demodulator, data filter, and data slicer are important.
The data filter of the ATA5745/ATA5746 functions also as a quasi-peak detector. This results in a
good suppression of above mentioned disturbers and exhibits a good carrier-to-noise performance. The required useful-signal-to-disturbing-signal ratio, at a BER of 10
in ASK mode and less than 3 dB (BR_Range_0 to BR_Range_2) and 6 dB (BR_Range_3) in
FSK mode. Due to the many different possible waveforms, these numbers are measured for the
signal, as well as for disturbers, with peak amplitude values. Note that these values are
worst-case values and are valid for any type of modulation and modulating frequency of the disturbing signal, as well as for the receiving signal. For many combinations, lower
carrier-to-disturbing-signal ratios are needed.

2.8RSSI Output
The output voltage of the pin RSSI is an analog voltage, proportional to the input power level.
Using the RSSI output signal, the signal strength of different transmitters can be distinguished.
The usable dynamic range of the RSSI amplifier is 65 dB, the input power range P(RF
IN
) is
–110 dBm to –45 dBm, and the gain is 15 mV/dB. Figure 2-9 shows the RSSI characteristic of a
typical device at 315 MHz with VS3V_AVCC = VS5V = 2.7V to 3.3V and T
= –40°C to
amb
+105°C with a matched input as shown in Table 2-2 and Figure 2-1 on page 6. At 433.92 MHz,
1 dB more signal level is needed for the same RSSI results.
Figure 2-9.Typical RSSI Characteristic at 315 MHz Versus Temperature and Supply Voltage
As can be seen in Figure 2-9 on page 13, for single devices there is a variance over temperature
and supply voltage range of ±3 dB. The total variance over production, temperature, and supply
voltage range is ±9 dB.

oscillator) generates the reference frequency f

reception of signals.

When designing the system in terms of receiving and transmitting frequency offset, the accuracy
of the crystal and XTO have to be considered.
The XTO’s additional pulling (including the R
tolerance) is only ±5 ppm. The XTAL versus tem-
M
perature, aging, and tolerances is then the main source of frequency error in the local oscillator.
The XTO frequency depends on XTAL properties and the load capacitances C
and XTAL2. The pulling (p) of f

To ensure proper start-up behavior, the small signal gain and the negative resistance provided
by this XTO at start is very large. For example, oscillation starts up even in the worst case with a
crystal series resistance of 1.5 kΩ at C

Due to the large gain at start, the XTO is able to meet a very low start-up time. The oscillation
start-up time can be estimated with the time constant τ.
After 10τ to 20τ, an amplitude detector detects the oscillation amplitude and sets XTO_OK to
High if the amplitude is large enough; this activates the CLK_OUT output if it is enabled via the
pins CLK_OUT_CTRL0 and CLK_OUT_CTRL1. Note that the necessary conditions of the
DVCC voltage also have to be fulfilled.

4.Sensitivity Reduction
The output voltage of the RSSI amplifier is internally compared to a threshold voltage V
V
is determined by the value of the external resistor R
Th_red
the pins SENSE and VS3V_AVCC (see Figure 10-1 on page 28). The output of the comparator
is fed into the digital control logic. By this means, it is possible to operate the receiver at a lower
sensitivity.
If the level on input pin SENSE_CTRL is low, the receiver operates at full sensitivity.
If the level on input pin SENSE_CTRL is high, the receiver operates at a lower sensitivity. The
reduced sensitivity is defined by the value of R
nal-to-noise ratio of the LNA input. The reduced sensitivity depends on the signal strength at the
output of the RSSI amplifier.
Since different RF input networks may exhibit slightly different values for the LNA gain, the sensitivity values given in the electrical characteristics refer to a specific input matching. This
matching is illustrated in Figure 2-1 on page 6 and exhibits the best possible sensitivity.
If the sensitivity reduction feature is not used, pin SENSE can be left open, pin SENSE_CTRL
must be set to GND.
To operate with reduced sensitivity, pin SENSE_CTRL must be set to high before the RX signal
path will be enabled by setting pin RX to high (see Figure 4-1 on page 19). As long as the RSSI
level is lower than V
pin DATA_OUT (low level on pin DATA_OUT). An internal RS flip-flop will be set to high the first
time the RSSI voltage crosses V
DATA_OUT. From then on the receiver also works with full sensitivity. This makes sure that a
telegram will not be interrupted if the RSSI level varies during the transmission. The RS flip-flop
can be set back, and thus the receiver switched back to reduced sensitivity, by generating a positive pulse on pin ASK_NFSK (see Figure 4-2 on page 19). In FSK mode, operating with reduced
sensitivity follows the same way.

The supply voltage range of the ATA5745/ATA5746 is 2.7V to 3.3V or 4.5V to 5.5V.
Pin VS3V_AVCC is the supply voltage input for the range 2.7V to 3.3V, and is used in battery
applications using a single lithium 3V cell. Pin VS5V is the voltage input for the range 4.5V to
5.5V (car applications) in this case the voltage regulator V_REG regulates VS3V_AVCC to typically 3.0V. If the voltage regulator is active, a blocking capacitor of 2.2 µF has to be connected to
VS3V_AVCC (see Figure 10-1 on page 28).
DVCC is the internal operating voltage of the digital control logic and is fed via the switch
SW_DVCC by VS3V_AVCC. DVCC must be blocked on pin DVCC with 68 nF (see Figure 9-1
on page 27 and Figure 10-1 on page 28).
Pin RX is the input to activate the RX signal processing and set the receiver to Active mode.
A low level on pin RX and ENABLE will set the receiver to OFF mode (low power mode). In this
mode, the crystal oscillator is shut down and no clock is available on pin CLK_OUT. The
receiver is not sensitive to a transmitter signal in this mode.

ATA5745/ATA5746 [Preliminary]
The receiver activates the Standby mode if pin ENABLE is set to “1”.
In Standby mode, the XTO is running and the clock on pin CLK_OUT is available after the
start-up time of the XTO has elapsed (dependent on pin CLK_OUT_CTRL0 and
CLK_OUT_CTRL1). During Standby mode, the receiver is not sensitive to a transmitter signal.
In Standby mode, the RX signal path is disabled and the power consumption I
Standby
is typically
50 µA (CLK_OUT output off, VS3V_AVCC = VS5V = 3V). The exact value of this current is
strongly dependent on the application and the exact operation mode, therefore check the section “Electrical Characteristics: General” on page 29 for the appropriate application case.

6.Bit Rate Ranges
Configuration of the bit rate ranges is carried out via the two pins BR0 and BR1. The microcontroller uses these two interface lines to set the corner frequencies of the band-pass data filter.
Switching the bit rate ranges while the RF front end is in Active mode can be done on the fly and
will not take longer than 100 µs if done while remaining in either ASK or FSK mode. If the modulation scheme is changed at the same time, the switching time is (T
on page 25). Each BR_Range is defined by a minimum edge-to-edge time. To maintain full sen-
sitivity of the receiver, edge-to-edge transition times of incoming data should not be less than the
minimum for the selected BR_Range.

Note:If during the start-up period (T
Startup_PLL+TStartup_Sig_Proc
) there is no RF signal, the data filter settles to the noise floor, leading
to noise on pin DATA_OUT.
Notes: 1. As can be seen, a bit stream of, for example, 2.5 Kbits/s can be received in BR_Range0 and BR_Range1 (overlapping
BR_Ranges). To get the full sensitivity, always use the lowest possible BR_Range (here, BR_Range0). The advantage in
the next higher BR_Range (BR_Range1) is the shorter start-up period, meaning lower current consumption during Polling
mode. Thus, it is a decision between sensitivity and current consumption.
2. The receiver is also capable of receiving non-Manchester-modulated signals, such as PWM, PPM, VPWM, NRZ. In ASK
mode, the header and blanking periods occurring in Keeloq-like protocols (up to 52 ms) are supported.
3. To ensure an accurate settling of the data filter during the start-up period (T
time T
of the data signal (preamble) must be inside the given limits during this period.

demodulation modes. A logic 1 on this pin selects ASK mode, and a logic 0 FSK mode. The time

that require an ASK preamble followed by FSK data (for typical TPM applications). During
