U2745B UHF ASK Transmitter Description The U2745B is a PLL transmitter IC which has been specially developed for the demands of RF low-cost data transmission systems at data rates up to 20 kBaud. The transmitting frequency range is 310 MHz to 440 MHz. It can be used in ASK systems. The main applications of the U2745B are in the areas of outside temperature metering, socket control, garage door opener, consumption metering, light/ fan or aircondition control, jalousies, wireless keyboard and various other consumer market applications. Electrostatic sensitive device. Observe precautions for handling. Features D Supply voltage 2.2 V to 4.0 V in the temperature range -40C to 85C D One-chip solution with minimum external circuitry D Lower cost than the usual discrete solutions using SAW and transistors D XTO output for clocking the C, thereby together with M44C090 or M44C890 the optimum system cost-effectiveness D Very small SSO16 package, pitch 0.635, 150 mil D Very high transmitting frequency accuracy compared to SAW solutions.

A2, 28-Sep-00 U2745B General Description Application Circuit The fully integrated VCO and the "single-ended opencollector" output allow particularly simple, low-cost RF miniature transmitters to be assembled. The single-ended output enables a considerably simplified adaptation of both a magnetic loop antenna of any form or a /4 antenna. This is because the load impedance must not be balanced as would be the case with a differential output. The following component values are recommendations for a typical application. C4, C5, C6 are block capacitors. The values of these capacitors depend on the board layout. C4 = 1 nF, C5 = 1 nF, C6 = 22 nF are typically used here. For C5, the impedance between f = 100 MHz and f = 1 GHz should be as low as possible. CLoop1, CLoop2 are selected so that the antenna oscillates in resonance and the adaptation to the appropriate impedance transformation is possible. LFeed is an inductor for the antenna's DC current supply. A typical value is LFeed = 220 nH. LFeed can be either printed on the PC_Board or be a discrete component. Further information regarding the application is provided in the description of the "RKE Design Kit". The XTO's frequency can be selected at 13.56 MHz or USA 9.844 MHz. At these frequencies, crystals have a very fast start-up time < 1.5 ms, whereby a wait time of 5 to 10 ms is required until the transmitter IC is locked. This means that the processor does not need to poll a lock detect output. Functional Description ASK Transmission The U2745B is activated by EN = VS. VASK must remain 0 V for 5 ms, then the output power can be modulated by means of Pin ASK. VEN remains = VS during transmission of the message. The ASK input activates the power amplifier and the PLL. Take-Over of the Clock Pulse in the C The clock of the crystal oscillator can be used for clocking the C. The M44C090 and M44C890 have the special feature of starting with an integrated RC oscillator to switch on the U2745B with VEN = VS. 5 ms later, the 3.39-MHz clock frequency is present, so that the message can be sent with crystal accuracy. Output Power Measurement The following output network (see figure 4) can be used for output power evaluation, the exact values of L10, C10 are dependent on the layout. L10, C10 is the transformation network to adopt the output impedance of the IC to 50 The following table shows the values for an output power of 2 mW and an RPWRSET = 1.2 k f/ MHz 315 433.92 C10/ pF 2.7 1.8 L10/ nH 56 33 ZLoad_opt/ 260 + j330 185 + j268 VS PWRVCC L10 ZLoad-opt ANT C10 50 15009 Figure 4.

A2, 28-Sep-00 U2745B Ozone Depleting Substances Policy Statement It is the policy of Atmel Germany GmbH to 1. Meet all present and future national and international statutory requirements. 2. Regularly and continuously improve the performance of our products, processes, distribution and operating systems with respect to their impact on the health and safety of our employees and the public, as well as their impact on the environment. It is particular concern to control or eliminate releases of those substances into the atmosphere which are known as ozone depleting substances (ODSs). The Montreal Protocol (1987) and its London Amendments (1990) intend to severely restrict the use of ODSs and forbid their use within the next ten years. Various national and international initiatives are pressing for an earlier ban on these substances. Atmel Germany GmbH has been able to use its policy of continuous improvements to eliminate the use of ODSs listed in the following documents. 1. Annex A, B and list of transitional substances of the Montreal Protocol and the London Amendments respectively 2. Class I and II ozone depleting substances in the Clean Air Act Amendments of 1990 by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) in the USA 3. Council Decision 88/540/EEC and 91/690/EEC Annex A, B and C (transitional substances) respectively. Atmel Germany GmbH can certify that our semiconductors are not manufactured with ozone depleting substances and do not contain such substances. 9. We reserve the right to make changes to improve technical design and may do so without further notice. Parameters can vary in different applications. All operating parameters must be validated for each customer application by the customer.
