27MHz Low Power Star Network Transceiver www.austriamicrosystems.com/RF-Transceivers/AS3900 Revision 1.00c 1 - 59 Data Sheet

1 General Description

The AS3900 is a low power FSK transceiver ideal for battery- operated short range devices (SRD) applications in which a limited amount of data (data rate up to 210 kbit/s) need to be transferred. The device can be configured as transceiver, transmitter only or receiver only system and operates in one channel in the worldwide ISM band at 27 MHz. The frequency of the external oscillator determines the operating frequency. Use of 27 MHz is in particular advantageous for communication in close proximity of the human body due to the low absorption of the signal by tissue because of the low specific absorption rate at 27 MHz. The device incorporates a serial digital interface (SDI), which enables bidirectional communication with external system components. The integrated real-time-clock, sophisticated wake-up functionality, and link manager enable current efficient control of all communication events and eliminate the need for an expensive microcontroller. The AS3900 supports data transfer in burst mode (bidirectional, controlled by link manager), semi-continuous (bidirectional, controlled by microcontroller) and continuous mode (unidirectional, controlled by microcontroller) and requires only a small number of external components.

8.10 Feature Description

This chapter describes how to apply certain features of the device.

8.10.1 One Time Programmable Memory (OTP)

documents P2PROM_rev1.322 and PPROM_appl_note_C. The ID data has to be written into the Shadow Register Bank REG 0x08, 0x09, 0x0A.

8.10.1.1 Write to the OTP register

Register Bank register dprom in REG 0x08 to 0x0A. These are already the physical PPROM registers, which are ready to be programmed.

8.10.1.2 Programming of the OTP

values read from the ID0 register must be the same as the programmed ones.

8.10.1.3 Read the Fuses

values are loaded to the ID0 register.

8.10.1.4 Read the Fuses and Load to ID0 Register

The same procedure is performed with the POR Signal automatically.

8.10.2 Communication Er ror Counter (cesmax)

automatic disabling of the Timer at Master and/or Client side. set in cesmax in REG 0x02<2:0>, the according Timer is turned off. error would increase the cesX field starting from the initial value, which allows the disabling of the dedicated Timer at fewer counts. At the Client, the Timer goes inactive that is signaled when the activeTimer0 is reset to ‘0’. REG 0x27<0> is se t to 0. Clients are lost, the Master does not stop its transmission at the dedicated time slots. Table 40. Actual Communication Error Count cesX

0x07<7>. Depending on this setting the comparator output bit is routed to lowbatval_tx in REG 0x07<6> or Lbat_ok in REG 0x23<6>. With this algorithm the reference level is always updated and reflects the actual battery level that can be read out in REG 0x 21<1:0>.

8.10.5 Output Power Selection

The AS3900 has a kind of integrated class D power amplifier that output power can be changed by changing the load impedance seen by the PA. Furthermore the output power can be varied by the switching from differential output to single ended mode.

8.10.5.1 Single Ended / Differential

the crystal oscillator. This adjustment can be set via the single bit in the REG 0x21<2>. Note: It is important to note that the PA switches their output automatically to GND during the AS3900 is in receive mode (LNA is tur ned on). It is possible to set the PA outputs manually to GND via the bit fzero in REG 0x21<0>.

8.10.5.2 Output Impedance

implemented to prevent the AS3900 from burning, if the outputs of the PA are shorted.

8.10.5.3 Calculation of the load impedance for a desired output power

In differential mode peak is equal to VDD, in single ended mode peak is equal to VDD/2. Note: It i s important to note that the overall emitted power of the PA is mainly defined by the VDD and the impedance of the antenna itself. The Rout of the PA gives only a minor change to the emitted power. Figure 26. Power Amplifier Conditions: VDD= 3V, Differential output mode, 10dBm is the desired output power.

8.10.6 RSSI

rssi field provides a digital value for signal strength between 0µVrms and 150µVrms. The rssi field is valid for the Client that communicates currently with the Master, which can be identified via the sid in REG 0x33<2:0>.
