U3745BM RF Front End The RF front end of the receiver is a heterodyne configuration that converts the input signal into a 1-MHz IF signal. According to the block diagram, the front end consists of an LNA (low noise amplifier), LO (local oscillator), a mixer and RF amplifier. The LO generates the carrier frequency for the mixer via a PLL synthesizer. The XTO (crystal oscillator) generates the reference frequency fXTO.
To determine fLO, the construction of the IF filter must be considered at this point. The nominal IF frequency is fIF = 1 MHz. To achieve a good accuracy of the filter’s corner frequencies, the filter is tuned by the crystal frequency fXTO. This means that there is a fixed relation between fIF and fLO that depends on the logic level at pin mode. This is described by the following formulas: f LO MODE = 0 (USA) f IF = --------314 fLO MODE = 0 (Europe) f IF = ----------------432.

Analog Signal Processing IF Amplifier The signals coming from the RF front end are filtered by the fully integrated 4th-order IF filter. The IF center frequency is fIF = 1 MHz for applications where fRF = 315 MHz or fRF = 433.92 MHz is used. For other RF input frequencies, refer to Table 1 to determine the center frequency. The receiver U3745BM employs an IF bandwidth of BIF = 600 kHz. This IC can be used together with the U2745B.
U3745BM The U3745BM is designed to operate with data coding where the DC level of the data signal is 50%. This is valid for Manchester and Bi-phase coding. If other modulation schemes are used, the DC level should always remain within the range of VDC_min = 33% and VDC_max = 66%. The sensitivity may be reduced by up to 1.5 dB in that condition. Each BR_Range is also defined by a minimum and a maximum edge-to-edge time (tee_sig). These limits are defined in the section “Electrical Characteristics”.
Polling Circuit and Control Logic The receiver is designed to consume less than 1 mA while being sensitive to signals from a corresponding transmitter. This is achieved via the polling circuit. This circuit enables the signal path periodically for a short time. During this time the bit check logic verifies the presence of a valid transmitter signal. Only if a valid signal is detected the receiver remains active and transfers the data to the connected microcontroller.
U3745BM • USA Applications (fXTO = 4.90625 MHz, MODE = L, TClk = 2.0383 µs) • Europe Applications (fXTO = 6.76438 MHz, MODE = H, TClk = 2.0697 µs) • Other applications (TClk is dependent on fXTO and on the logical state of pin MODE. The electrical characteristic is given as a function of TClk). The clock cycle of some function blocks depends on the selected baud rate range (BR_Range) which is defined in the OPMODE register.
XSleepTemp = 1 implies the temporary extension factor. The extended sleep time is used as long as every bit check is OK. If the bit check fails once, this bit is set back to 0 automatically resulting in a regular sleep time. This functionality can be used to save current in presence of a modulated disturber similar to an expected transmitter signal. The connected microcontroller is rarely activated in that condition.

TLim_min = Lim_min ´ TXClk TLim_max = (Lim_max –1) ´ TXClk Lim_min and Lim_max are defined by a 5-bit word each within the LIMIT register. Using the above formulas, Lim_min and Lim_max can be determined according to the required TLim_min , TLim_max and TXClk. The time resolution when defining TLim_min and TLim_max is TXClk. The minimum edge-to-edge time tee (tDATA_L_min, tDATA_H_min) is defined according to the section “Receiving Mode”. Due to this, the lower limit should be set to Lim_min ³10.

U3745BM this pulse, the sleep time TSleep elapses. The receiver remains in sleep mode as long as ENABLE is held to ‘L’. If the receiver is polled exclusively by a microcontroller, TSleep can be programmed to 0 to enable a instantaneous response time. This command is the faster option than via pin DATA at the cost of an additional connection to the microcontroller. Figure 16.

U3745BM • If the receiver is set back to polling mode via pin DATA, RM cannot be canceled by accident if t1 is applied according to the proposal in the section “Programming the Configuration Registers”. By means of that mechanism, the receiver cannot lose its register information without communicating that condition via the reset marker RM. Figure 18.
