ATA5745/ATA5746 [Preliminary] 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.
2.2 Input 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.

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.

ATA5745/ATA5746 [Preliminary] 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 –10 dBm. This is often referred 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.
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. 2.9 Frequency Synthesizer The LO generates the carrier frequency for the mixer via a PLL synthesizer. The XTO (crystal oscillator) generates the reference frequency fXTO. The VCO (voltage-controlled oscillator) generates the drive voltage frequency fLO for the mixer.
ATA5745/ATA5746 [Preliminary] Figure 3-1. Crystal Equivalent Circuit Crystal Equivalent Circuit C0 XTAL Lm CL1 CL2 Cm Rm CL = CL1 × CL2/ (CL1 + CL2) With C m ≤10 fF, C 0 ≥ 1.0 pF, C LN = 9 pF and C L1,2 = 16 pF ±1%, the pulling amounts to P ≤±1 ppm. The C0 of the XTAL has to be lower than CLmin / 2 = 7.9 pF for a Pierce oscillator type in order to not enter the steep region of pulling versus load capacitance where there is risk of an unstable oscillation.
Lower values of Cm can be used, slightly increasing the start-up time. Lower values of C0 or higher values of Cm (up to 15 fF) can also be used, with only little influence on pulling. Figure 3-2.

ATA5745/ATA5746 [Preliminary] 3.1 Pin CLK_OUT Pin CLK_OUT is an output to clock a connected microcontroller. The clock is available in Standby and Active modes. The frequency f C L K _ O U T can be adjusted via the pins CLK_OUT_CTRL0 and CLK_OUT_CTRL1, and is calculated as follows: Table 3-2.
4. Sensitivity Reduction The output voltage of the RSSI amplifier is internally compared to a threshold voltage VTh_red. VTh_red is determined by the value of the external resistor RSense. RSense is connected between 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.

5. Power Supply Figure 5-1. Power Supply VS3V_AVCC SW_DVCC IN VS5V V_REG 3.0V typ. OUT DVCC EN RX 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.

ATA5745/ATA5746 [Preliminary] 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.

ATA5745/ATA5746 [Preliminary] 7. ASK_NFSK The ASK_NFSK pin allows the microcontroller to rapidly switch the RF front end between demodulation modes. A logic 1 on this pin selects ASK mode, and a logic 0 FSK mode. The time to change modes (TStartup_Sig_Proc) depends on the bit rate range being selected (not current bit rate range) and is given in Table 5-4 on page 22. This response time is specified for applications that require an ASK preamble followed by FSK data (for typical TPM applications).
