The A5191HRT is a single-chip, CMOS modem for use in
Highway Addressable Remote Transducer (HART) field
instruments and masters. The modem and a few external
passive components provide all of the functions needed
to satisfy HART physical layer requirements including
modulation, demodulation, receive filtering, carrier
detect and transmit-signal shaping. The A5191HRT is pin-
compatible with the SYM20C15. See the Pin Description
2.0 Description
and Functional Description sections for details on pin
compatibility with the SYM20C15.
The A5191HRT uses Phase Continuous Frequency Shift
Keying (FSK) at 1200 bits per second. To conserve power
the receive circuits are disabled during transmit
operations and vice versa. This provides the half-duplex
operation used in HART communications.

IAREF: Analog Reference Voltage
This analog input sets the dc operating point of the oper-
ational amplifiers and comparators and is usually selected
to split the dc potential between VDD and VSS. See IAREF
in DC Characteristics on page 8.
ICDREF: Carrier Detect Reference Voltage
This analog input controls at which level the carrier detect
(OCD) becomes active. This is determined by the dc
voltage difference between ICDREF and IAREF. Selecting
ICDREF - IAREF equal to 0.08 VDC will set the carrier
detect to a nominal 100 mVp-p.
INRESET: Reset Digital Logic
When at logic low (VSS) this input holds all the digital logic
in Reset. During normal operation INRESET should be at
VDD. INRESET should be held low for a minimum of 10 nS
after VDD = 2.5 V as shown in Figure 3 below.
Figure 3: Reset Timing
Note: This signal is also present on the LSI 20C15. It is
labeled as Test6. The 20C15 datasheet mentions the reset
function of this pin but does not emphasize its use to
reset the chip. Reliable operation of the modem requires
a hardware reset as shown in Figure 3. This is true for the
AMIS 12197-503 and 12197-504 as well as the LSI 20C15.
INRTS: Request To Send
This active-low input selects the operation of the modula-
tor. OTXA is enabled when this signal is low. This signal
must be held high during power-up.
IRXA*: Analog Receive Input
This input accepts the 1200/2200 Hz signals from the
external filter.
IRXAC: Analog Receive Comparator Input
This is the positive input of the carrier detect comparator
and the receiver filter comparator.
ITXD: Digital Transmit Input (CMOS)
This input to the modulator accepts digital data in NRZ
form. When ITXD is low, the modulator output frequency
3.0 Pin Descriptions
is 2200 Hz. When ITXD is high, the modulator output
frequency is 1200 Hz.
IXTL: Oscillator Input
This input to the internal oscillator must be connected to
a parallel mode 460.8 kHz ceramic resonator when using
the internal oscillator or grounded when using an external
460.8 kHz clock signal.
OCBIAS: Comparator Bias Current
The current thr ough this output controls the operating param-
eters of the internal operational amplifiers and comparators.
For normal operation, OCBIAS current is set to 2.5 4A.
OCD: Carrier Detect Output
This output goes high when a valid input is recognized on
IRXA. If the received signal is greater than the threshold
specified on ICDREF for four cycles of the IRXA signal, the
valid input is recognized.
ORXAF*: Analog Receive Filter Output
This signal is the square wave output of the receiver high-
pass filter.
ORXD: Digital Receive Output (CMOS)
This signal outputs the digital receive data. When the
received signal (IRXA) is 1200 Hz, ORXD outputs logic
high. When the received signal (IRXA) is 2200 Hz, ORXD
outputs logic low. ORXD is qualified internally with OCD.
OTXA: Analog Transmit Output
This output provides the trapezoidal signal controlled by
ITXD. When ITXD is low, the output frequency is 2200 Hz.
When ITXD is high, the output frequency is 1200 Hz. This
output is active when INRTS is low and 0.5 VDC when
INRTS is high.
OXTL: Oscillator Output
This output from the internal oscillator must be connected to
an external 460.8 kHz clock signal or to a parallel mode 460.8
kHz ceramic resonator when using the internal oscillator.
TEST(12:1): Factor y Test
These are factory test pins. For normal operation, tie
these signals as per Table 1 and Table 2.

A5191HRT AMIS HARTModem
AMI Semiconductor
www.amis.com
The A5191HRT is a functional equivalent of the SYM20C15
HART Modem. It contains a transmit data modulator and
signal shaper, carrier detect circuitry, analog receiver and
demodulator circuitry and an oscillator, as shown in Figure 4.
Figure 4: A5191HRT Block Diagram
The internal HART modem modulates the transmit-signal
and demodulates the receive signal. The transmit-signal
shaper enables the A5191HRT to transmit a HART
compliant signal. The carrier is detected by comparing
the receiver filter output with the difference between two
external voltage references. The analog receive circuitry
band-pass filters the received signal for input to the
modem and the carrier detect circuitry. The oscillator
provides the modem with a stable time base using either
a simple external resonator or an external clock source.
4.1 A5191HRTLOGIC
The modem consists of a modulator and demodulator. The
modem uses shift frequencies of nominally 1200 Hz (for a
1) and 2200 Hz (for a 0). The bit rate is 1200 bits/second.
Modulator
The modulator accepts digital data in NRZ form at the
ITXD input and generates the FSK modulated signal at
the OTXA output. INRTS must be a logic low for the mod-
ulator to be active.
Demodulator
The demodulator accepts an FSK signal at the IRXA input
and reproduces the original modulating signal at the
ORXD output. The nominal bit rate is 1200 bits per sec-
ond. Figure 5 illustrates the demodulation process.
Figure 5: Demodulator Signal Timing
4.0 Functional Description
The output of the demodulator is qualified with the carrier
detect signal (OCD), therefore, only IRXA signals large
enough to be detected (100 mVp-p typically) by the
carrier detect circuit pr oduce r eceived serial data at ORXD.
Maximum demodulator jitter is 12 percent of one bit
given input frequencies within HART specifications, a
clock frequency of 460.8 kHz (±1.0 percent) and zero
input (IRXA) asymmetry.
4.2 TRANSMITSIGNAL SHAPER
The transmit-signal shaper generates a HART compliant
FSK modulated signal at OTXA. Figure 6 and Figure 7
show the transmit-signal forms of the A5191HRT.
For IAREF = 1.235 VDC, OTXA will have a voltage swing
from approximately 0.25 to 0.75 VDC.

4.3 CARRIER DETECT CIRCUITRY
The Carrier Detect Comparator shown in Figure 8 below
generates logic low output if the IRXAC voltage is below
ICDREF. The comparator output is fed into a carrier detect
block (see Figure 4 on page 5). The carrier detect block
drives the carrier detect output pin OCD high if INRTS is
high and four consecutive pulses out of the
comparator have arrived. OCD stays high as long as
INRTS is high and the next comparator pulse is received
in less than 2.5 ms. Once OCD goes inactive, it takes four
consecutive pulses out of the comparator to assert OCD
again. Four consecutive pulses amount to 3.33 ms when
the received signal is 1200 Hz and to 1.82 ms when the
received signal is 2200 HZ.
4.4 ANALOG RECEIVER CIRCUITRY
Voltage References
The A5191HRT requires two voltage references, IAREF
and ICDREF.
IAREF sets the dc operating point of the internal opera-
tional amplifiers and comparators. A 1.235 VDC reference
(Analog Devices AD589) is suitable as IAREF.
The level at which OCD (carrier detect) becomes active is
determined by the dc voltage difference (ICDREF -
IAREF). Selecting a voltage difference of 0.08 VDC will set
the carrier detect to a nominal 100 mVp-p.
Bias Current Resistor
The A5191HRT requires a bias current resistor to be
connected between OCBIAS and VSS. The bias current
controls the operating parameters of the internal opera-
tional amplifiers and comparators.
The value of the bias current r esistor is determined by the
reference voltage IAREF and the following formula:
The recommended bias current resistor is 500K when
IAREF is equal to 1.235 VDC.
In Figure 8 all external capacitor values have a tolerance
of ±5 percent and the resistors have a tolerance of
±1 percent, except the 3 Mwhich has a tolerance of
±5 percent. External to the A5191HRT, the filter exhibits
a three-pole, high-pass filter at 624 Hz and a one-pole,
low-pass filter at 2500 Hz. Internally, the A5191HRT has a
high-pass pole at 35 Hz and a low-pass pole at 90 kHz.
The low-pass pole can vary as much as ±30 percent.
The input impedance of the entire filter is greater than
150 Mat frequencies below 50 kHz.

4.5 OSCILLATOR
The A5191HRT r equir es a 460.8 kHz clock signal on OXTL.
This can be provided by an external clock or external
components may be connected to the A5191HRT internal
oscillator.
Internal Oscillator Option
The oscillator cell will function with either a 460.8 kHz
crystal or ceramic resonator. A parallel resonant ceramic
resonator can be connected between OXTL and IXTL.
Figure 9 illustrates the crystal option for clock generation
using a 460.8 kHz (±I percent tolerance) parallel resonant
crystal and two tuning capacitors. The actual values of the

capacitors may depend on the recommendations of the
manufacturer of the resonator. Typically, capacitors in the
range of 100 pF to 470 pF are used.
External Clock Option
It may be desirable to use an external 460.8 kHz clock as
shown in Figure 10 rather than the internal oscillator
because of the high cost and low availability of ceramic
resonators. In addition, the A5191HRT consumes less
current when an external clock is used. Minimum current
consumption occurs with the clock connected to OXTL
and IXTL connected to VSS.
The A5191HRT is available in a 28-pin plastic leaded
chip carrier (PLCC) and 32-pin low-profile quad flat
pack (LQFP). Use the following part number when
ordering. Contact your local sales r epr esentative for mor e
