NA-03-0111-0239-2.09 Page 1 1C h i p S u m m a r y The nanoNET chip is a low-power, highly integrated mixed signal chip uti- lizing Nanotron’s unique wireless Chirp Spread Spectrum (CSS) communi- cation technology. This innovative modulation technique permits the development of chips that have extremely low power consumption, operate over a wide range of temperatures, and perform effortlessly in robust wireless networks operat- ing in the 2.45 GHz ISM band. This chip offers an ideal solution for battery powered applications that re- quire a reliable and extremely long operating lifetime, such as several years. For communication over the air, CSS uses Upchirps and Downchirps with a symbol duration of T symbol = 1 µs and an effective bandwidth of Bchirp = 64 MHz. A wide variety of systems and applications can be developed with this novel technology, with the additional advantage of being able to select from data rates of either 500 kbps, 1 Mbps, or 2 Mbps.

2 General Description

The nanoNET IC is a extremely low power, highly integrated mixed signal chip utilizing Chirp Spread Spectrum (CSS), a novel wireless communication technology developed by Nanotron Technologies. Fully Integrated Chip The nanoNET chip is a fully integrated transceiver consisting of: + a complete analog receiver (from antenna input to the demodulated digital data output). + a complete transmitter (from digital data input to RF power amplifier output which can be directly connected to the antenna input) with additional support for an external power transistor. An external transistor or amplifier can boost trans- mission power from, for example, +8 dBm to +20 dBm (6.3 mW to 100 mW respectively). + a programmable digital controller communicat- ing with an external microcontroller via a serial peripheral interface (SPI). This controller incor- porates a baseband controller and a Medium Access Controller (MAC). The baseband con- troller performs the processing of data (framing, error correction, en/decryption, and so on) while the MAC controller applies CSMA/CA, TDMA or hybrid-access schemes for medium access. About Chirp Spread Spectrum Using CSS, this chip produces Upchirps and Downchirps with a symbol duration of T symbol = 1µs and an effective frequency bandwidth of Bchirp = 64 MHz. CSS enables the development of different systems where application software can select physical data rates of 500 kbps, 1 Mbps, or 2 Mbps. This IC is designed in such a way that only a mini- mum number of external elements are required to develop a fully operational bi-directional wireless communication node. Even very slow microcontrol- lers can work together with this high speed trans- ceiver, due to its use of FIFOs (First In, First Out). The nanoNET chip provides two buffers (a 1024 bit receive buffer and a 1024 bit transmit buffer) dedi- cated to storing the payload of either received pack- ets or ready to be transmitted data packets. These buffers can be accessed independently of each other – the receive buffer can receive data from the antenna while the transmit buffer can simulta- neously be filled with data for the next packet trans- mission. Programmable Digital Support Block A programmable support block is provided, which consists of a real time clock, wake up circuitry, power management, low battery voltage measure- ment, and several adjustment and calibration func- tions for the analog part of the transceiver. The digital IO pin number 4 (DilO4) on the chip pro- vides a 32.768 kHz clock for use by an external microcontroller on chip st artup. It can be switched off after power up if not needed or it can be pro- grammed to operate in another frequency (32.768 kHz or from 125 kHz to 16 MHz). Furthermore, the three other digital IO pins (DilO1, DilO2, DilO3) pro- vided by the chip can also be programmed to oper- ate in a frequency in the same range as DilO4. Moreover, all important functions of this block can be setup and controlled by an application software. A Receive Signal Strength Indicator (RSSI) is also provided, which can be supported and controlled by the application. This RSSI value is required when CSMA is implemented and can be used, for exam- ple, to indicate when the air interface is free or busy. The bit processing methods of the nanoNET chip include: + Scrambling + CRC (Cyclic Redundancy Check) generation and checking (CRC types include: ISO/ IEC3309, CCITT X.25, X.75, ETS 300 125 / IEC 60870-5-1 / CCITT-32) + 128 bit encryption/decry ption (stream cipher with support of one time pads) + FEC (forward error correction) block coded Scrambling, encryption/decryption, and FEC can be enabled by the application, while the CRC type is selectable. Transmission power can be programmed by the application and can be reduced in steps (from maxi- mum +8 dBm ) in a range of Gain ≥ 35 dB . This means that the transmission power can vary from - 27 dBm to +8 dBm without any additional external power amplifier or attenuator. Receiver Sensitivity The sensitivity of the nanoNET TRX Transceiver is defined by the raw data mode (data not coded or encrypted in anyway) where BER = 0.001. Sensitiv- ity is P sensitivity = -92 dBm or better. For an isotropic antenna, link budget is equal to Alink_budget = 100 dB. Upchirp Downchirp

See Reference Design on page 33. + Tjunct = 30° C + VSSA = VSSD = GND + VDDA = VDDD = 3.0 V + Transmission/reception @ 1 Mbps and up/down chirp mode. + Raw data mode: no CRC, no FEC, no encryp- tion, no bit scrambling. + BER = 0.001 during receive period. + RF output power during transmit phase = 6.3 mW (+8 dBm) EIRP m easured during continu- ous transmission. + All RF ports are matched according to this spec- ification. + For range measurement, two identical nanoNET systems equipped with antennae representing 1.6 dBi gain have been used. Antennae with vertical E-polarization and omnidirectional hori- zontal radiation pattern have been used. + Outdoor (open space) range measurement was performed on flat terrain, without vegetation higher than 0.2 m above ground, and without visible obstacles and other objects that could reasonably influence measurement results. Antennae for both nanoNET systems have been located 1.5 m above ground. + Indoor range measurement was performed inside typical European office building where both nanoNET systems were located on the same floor. + All RF powers (TX output power, RX sensitivity, etc.) are measured on the IC terminals (pins) under impedance matched conditions.
