[v1-08] 2015-Sep-02 Document Feedback AS3933 3D Low Frequency Wake-Up Receiver The AS3933 is a 3-channel low power ASK receiver that is able to generate a wake-up upon detection of a data signal which uses a LF carrier frequency between 15-150 kHz. The integrated correlator can be used for detection of a programmable 16-bit or 32-bit Manchester wake-up pattern. The device can operate using one, two, or three active channels. The AS3933 provides a digital RSSI value for each active channel, it supports a programmable data rate and Manchester decoding with clock recovery. The AS3933 offers an internal Clock Generator, which is either derived from a crystal oscillator or the internal RC oscillator. The user can decide to use the external clock generator instead. The programmable features of AS3933 enable to optimize its settings for achieving a longer distance while retaining a reliable wake-up generation. The sensitivity level of AS3933 can be adjusted in presence of a strong field or in noisy environments. Antenna tuning is greatly simplified, as the automatic tuning feature ensures perfect matching to the desired carrier frequency. The device is available in 16-p in TSSOP and 16-LD QFN (4x4mm) packages, and DoW (dice on wafer). Ordering Information and Content Guide appear at end of datasheet.

[v1-08] 2015-Sep-02 Document Feedback AS3933 − Detailed Description The AS3933 is a three-dimensional low power low-frequency wake-up receiver. The AS3933 is capable of detecting the presence of an inductive coupled carrier and can extract the envelope of the ON-OFF-Keying (OOK) modulated carrier. In case the carrier is Manchester co ded, the clock can be recovered from the received signal and the data can be correlated with a programmed pattern. If the detected pattern corresponds to the stored one, a wake-up signal (IRQ) is risen up. The pattern correlation can be disabled; in this case the wake-up detection is based only on the frequency detection. The AS3933 is made up of three independent receiving channels, one envelop detector, one data correlator, one Manchester decoder, 19 programmable registers with the main logic and a Clock Generator. The digital logic can be accessed by an SPI. The Clock Generator can be based on a crystal oscillator, or an internal RC-oscillator or an external clock. In case the RC-oscillator is used to improve its accuracy, a calibration can be performed. The internal LC-oscillator can deliver the antenna’s oscillation frequency for each channel and the internal tuning capacitor bank can provide fine tuning. The Internal RC-oscillator can be calibrated either over SPI or using the internal algorithm ba sed on the antenna resonance frequency.

Document Feedback [v1-08] 2015-Sep-02 AS3933 − Detailed Description AS3933 needs the following external components:

  • Power supply capacitor - CBAT - 100 nF.
  • 32.768 kHz crystal with its tw o pulling capacitors - XTAL and CL - (it is possible to om it these components if the internal RC oscillator is us ed instead of the crystal oscillator).
  • One, two, or three LC resonators according to the number of used channels. In case the internal RC-oscillator is used (no crystal oscillator is mounted), the pin XIN has to be connected to the supply, while pin XOUT should stay floating. Application diagrams with and without crystal are shown in Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 . Operating Modes The diagram in Figure 20 shows how the AS3933 operates. Figure 20: Operating Modes Flow Chart Pattern Correlation (Wake=0) Listening Mode (WAKE=0) Data Receiving (WAKE=1) Frequency Detection OK And Pattern Detection Enabled Frequency Detection OK And Pattern Detection Disabled Pattern matches Clear Wake or Time out Pattern doesn’t match Start RSSI (Wake=1) Start RSSI (Wake=0)

[v1-08] 2015-Sep-02 Document Feedback AS3933 − Detailed Description Listening Mode In listening mode, the chip is active and looks continuously for the presence of the carrier on the input of all active channels. In this mode, only the active channel amplifiers and the Clock Generator are running. In case th e carrier is detected, then the RSSI measurements get started on all three channels and the result is stored in the memory. If the three dimensional detection is not required, then it is possible to deactivate one or more channels. In case only two channels are required, then the deactivated channel must be the number two; while in case only one channel is needed, then the active channel must be the number one. Inside the listening mode, it is possible to distinguish the following three low power sub modes: Standard Listening Mode . All channels are active at the same time. Scanning Mode (Low Power Mode 1) . In this sub-mode, a time slot T=1ms is defined and in each time slot only one channel can be active. As shown in Figure 21 when a certain time slot is over, the current active channel is switched OFF and the next channel becomes active and so on. If, for example all three channels are enabled, in the fi rst time slot the only active channel is the number one. When the first time slot is over, the channel one is switched OFF and the channel three becomes active. During the third time slot, the channel two is active while the other two are OFF. This channel rotation starts back from the channel one and goes on until the presence of the carrier is detected by any channel. The Scanning mode (channel rotation) is managed internally by the AS3933 and doesn’t need any activity from the host system (MCU). As soon as one channel detects the frequency, all three channels become immediately active at the same time. The AS3933 can perform a simultaneous multidirectional evaluation (on all three channels) of the field and evaluate which channel has the strongest RSSI. The channel with the highest RSSI will be put through to the demodulator. In this way it is possible to perform multidirectional monitoring of the field with a current consumption of a single channe l, keeping the sensitivity as good as if all channels are active at the same time.

[v1-08] 2015-Sep-02 Document Feedback AS3933 − Detailed Description Artificial Wake-Up For each of these sub modes it is possible to enable a further feature called Artificial Wake-up. The Artificial Wake-up is a counter based on the used Clock Generator. Three bits define a time window (see R8<2:0> ). If no activity is seen within this time window, the chip will produce an interrupt on the WAKE pin that lasts 128 μs. With this interrupt the microcontroller ( μC) can get feedback on the surrounding environment (e.g. read the false wake-up register R13<7:0> ) and/or take actions in order to change the setup. Preamble Detection / Pattern Correlation The chip can go in to this mode after detecting a LF carrier only if the data correlation is enabled ( R1<1> =1). The correlator searches first for preamble bits and then for data pattern. The paragraph Wake-Up Protocol: Pattern Detection Enabled describes how the protocol can be implemented. Should the pattern correlation be disabled ( R1<1> =0), the AS3933 goes directly in Data receiv ing mode (see paragraph Data Receiving ). If the received pattern matches, then the wake-up interrupt is displayed on the WAKE output (Wake goes high) and the chip goes in Data receiving mode. If the pattern fails, then the internal wake-up (on all active channels) is terminated and no interrupt is produced. Having per default DAT_MASK disabled ( R0<6> =0), the DAT pin shows the entire demodulated incoming signal (carrier burst+preamble+pattern+data). If DAT_MASK is enabled ( R0<6> =1), the data will be displayed only after the generation of the WAKEUP interrupt. Note(s): It is important to note th at the Manchester decoder must be enabled ( R1<3> =1) for this feature. Data Receiving After a successful wake-up the chip enters the data receiving mode. In this mode the chip can be retained a normal OOK receiver. The data is provided on the DAT pin and in case the Manchester decoder is enabled (see R1<3> ), the recovered clock is present on the CL_DAT. It is possible to set the chip back to listening mode either with a direct command CLEAR_WAKE (see Figure 29) or by using the timeout feature. This feature automatically sets the chip back to listening mode after a certain time defined by the bits R7<7:5> .

Document Feedback [v1-08] 2015-Sep-02 AS3933 − Detailed Description Channel Amplifier and Frequency Detector Each of the 3 channels consists of a variable gain amplifier (VGA) with automatic gain control (AGC) and a frequency detector. When the AS3933 is in listening mode (waiting for RF signal) the gain of all channel amplif iers is set to maximum. The frequency detector counts the zero crossing of the amplified RF signal to detect the presence of the wanted carrier. As soon as the carrier is detected the AGC is enabled, the gain of the VGA is reduced and set to the right value. The RSSI (Received Signal Strength Indicator) represents how strong the input signal is and it is the inverse representati on of the gain of the VGA. In fact, if for example the input signal is very strong the AGC will reduce the gain of the VGA. The gain reduction will correspond to a big RSSI, as it is the inverse of the gain setting of the VGA (small gain corresponds to a big RSSI and vice versa). The AS3933 is a pretty wide LF wake-up receiver and can work between 15 kHz and 150 kHz. Once the carrier frequency has been chosen the user must se t the amplifier working in the appropriate frequency band using the bits R8<7:5> , as described in the Figure 36 . It is possible to boost the gain of the amplifiers for +3dB with an improvement of the sens itivity, as shown in the Figure 14 (R2<5> =1). The gain boost will increase the current consumption of 100nA (typ) per channel. In case the lowest frequency band is used (15kHz – 23 kHz) the gain boost is automatically enabled from the logic. It is possible to enable/disable individual channels, in case not all three channels are needed. This enables to reduce the current consumption by 1.5 μA (typ.) per channel. Frequency Detector / RSSI / Channel Selector The frequency detection is based on a zero crossing counter and uses the Clock Generator as time base. This counter counts the zero crossing of the input signal within a time window defined by the clock generator and if it matches to the expected value it enabled the AGC (the RSSI measurement can get started). The Clock Generator can be based either on the internal RC-oscillator or on the Crystal oscillator or on the external clock source. The details on the choice of the Clock Generator are discussed in the Clock Generator . The Clock Generator generates time windows equal to N times its period, where N depends on the operating frequency band, as shown in the Figure 36 .

Document Feedback [v1-08] 2015-Sep-02 AS3933 − Detailed Description The AGC starts working after the frequency detection. At the beginning the gain in the VGA is set to maximum and the AGC reduce it according to the received signal input level. The AGC needs maximum 35 carrier period s to settle, getting a stable RSSI. The AGC can operate in two modes:

  • AGC down only ( R1<5> =0)
  • AGC up and down ( R1<5> =1) If the AGC down only mode is selected, the AGC can only decrease the gain for the whole duration of the data reception; in this mode the system holds the RSSI peak. When the AGC up and down mode is selected, the RSSI can dynamically follow the input sign al strength variation in both directions. The RSSI is available for all 3 channels at the same time and it is stored in 3 registers ( R10<4:0> , R11<4:0> , R12<4:0> ). Once the RSSI gets stable (maximum after 35 carrier periods after frequency detection) the channel selector checks which channel receives the strongest signal. The channel selector compares the RSSI on the active channels and freezes the AGC on the channels which have the smaller RSSI. From this time on the AGC is active only on the selected channel. It is possible to set things back having the AGC active on all channels just sending a clear_wake (sets the chip back to listening mode) or reset_RSSI (resets the ACG) direct command. Both AGC modes (only down or down and up) can also operate with time limitation. This option allows AGC operation only in time slot of 256μs after the fr equency detection (during carrier burst), then the RSSI is frozen till the wake-up or RSSI reset occurs (clear_wakeup or reset_RSSI). The RSSI is reset either with the direct command 'clear_wakeup' or 'reset_RSSI' . The 'reset_RSSI' command resets only the VGA setting but does not terminate wake-up frequency detection condition. This means that if th e signal is still present the new AGC setting (RSSI) will appear not later than 35 LF carrier periods after the command was received. The AGC setting is reset during data receiving if fo r duration of 3 Manchester half symbols no carrier is detected. If the wake-up IRQ is cleared the chip will go back to listening mode. In case the maximum amplific ation at the beginning is a drawback (e.g. in noisy environment) it is possible to set a smaller starting gain on the amplifier, according to the Figure 39 . In this way it is possible to reduce the false frequency detection.

Document Feedback [v1-08] 2015-Sep-02 AS3933 − Detailed Description Figure 41: Antenna Damper Demodulator / Data Slicer As soon as the AS3933 detects successfully the frequency and the RSSI has got stable the channel selector compares the RSSI on all active channels and connects the channel amplifier which has the biggest RSSI to the demodulator. The channel selector needs 32 RF carrier periods to ta ke this decision. The output signal (amplified LF carrier) of selected channel is connected to the input of th e demodulator. The demodulator takes the signal to base-band and recovers two signals from the amplified RF signal; a fast and a slow envelop. Those two signals are fed to the data slicer, which is a comparator with programmable hysteresis. At the output of the data slicer are streamed the di gital received bits. A concept block diagram is shown in the Figure 42 . Channel Amplifier1 LC R LC R LC R Channel Amplifier2 Channel Amplifier1 LF1P LF2P LF3P LFN

[v1-08] 2015-Sep-02 Document Feedback AS3933 − Detailed Description Figure 45: Minimum Required Preamble Lengths as Function of Slow Envelop Settings Note(s) and/or Footnote(s): 1. These times are minimum required, but it is recommended to prolong the preamble. With the bits R3<6> and R3<7> it is possible to change the hysteresis on the data slicer co mparator (only positive, positive negative, 20mV, 40mV). The slow envelop signal (blue signal in Figure 43 ) represents the average of the demodulated signal, therefore acts as a reference signal for the data slicer. In case the chosen protocol has a duty cycle far away from 50% (for example in the NRZ protocol there can be several consecutive ones or zeros) the slow envelop signal would not be a stable reference signal for the data slicer. In this case the da ta slicer can also work with an absolute threshold ( R1<7> ), as shown in the Figure 46 . Should the absolute threshold be enabled the bits R3<2:0> would not influence the performance. It is even possible to reduce the absolute threshold in case the environment is not particularly noisy ( R2<7> ). As the input signal may be damped due to physical influences of the transmitter environment, the symbol rate needs to be adapted (lowered) if absolute th reshold is enabled to ensure a proper detection of the wake-up signal. The peak level of the signal should be reached within 1/3 of the symbol duration which is defined as two times the bit duration. The bit duration is defined in register R7 <4:0> as a function of the Clock Generator periods.

Document Feedback [v1-08] 2015-Sep-02 AS3933 − Detailed Description Figure 46: Envelop Detector Signals - Absolute Threshold Correlator In order to prevent that the AS 3933 wakes up the host system (MCU) from noise or disturbers (LF transmitter within the field) the internal correlator checks that the bit sequence delivered from the data slicer corresponds to stored pattern. The wanted pattern can be stored in the registers R5<7:0> and R6<7:0> . The data correlation is performed only if the correlator is enabled (R1<1> =1) and can start only after frequency detection. The pattern correlation is successful (Wake goes high) only if the bits sequence (pattern) and its timing (duration of the single bit) matches. Pattern: Bit and Symbol De finition in Manchester Code The AS3933 can correlate the incoming pattern without the help of an external unit (MCU). The chosen pattern must be Manchester encoded. In the Manchester code each “Symbol” is defined by a transition (high-to-low for 1 and low-to-high for 0), therefore consists of two “bits” . In the Figure 47 it is shown, as an example, how the encoding technique works. In this sequence a simple message made up by 3 symbols (1 0 1) is Manchester encoded. In the Manchester encoded bit stream there can not be three consecutive zeros or ones (in each symbol there is always a transition). This helps the receiver to recover the clock.

The number of different pattern is 2^SYM, where SYM is the number of Manchester symbols. In case the R5<7:0> and R6<7:0> represent the bit sequence of the pattern there are 256 different possible combinations, while in case they are the symbol representation there are 65536 different patterns. 1 0 0 0 1 18 1 0 0 1 0 19 1 0 0 1 1 20 1 0 1 0 0 21 1 0 1 0 1 22 1 0 1 1 0 23 1 0 1 1 1 24 1 1 0 0 0 25 1 1 0 0 1 26 1 1 0 1 0 27 1 1 0 1 1 28 1 1 1 0 0 29 111 0 1 3 0 111 1 0 3 1 111 1 1 3 2 Clock Periods

  • Frequency detection only (no pattern correlation)
  • Single pattern detection
  • 16-bit pattern
  • 32-bit pattern
  • Double pattern detection
  • 16-bits pattern
  • 32-bits pattern The wake-up state can be terminated either by the host system (MCU) with the direct command ‘clear_wake’ sent over SPI (see direct command details in Figure 29 ) or with a time-out option. In case the latter is used the host system (MCU) does not need to take any action to terminate the wake-up state and the chip is set back to listening mode automatically after a predefined time. It is possible to set the duration of the time-out with the register R7<7:5> , as shown in the Figure 49 .

Document Feedback [v1-08] 2015-Sep-02 AS3933 − Detailed Description Wake-Up Protocol: Frequency Detection Only Figure 50: Wake-Up Protocol Overview Without Pattern Detection In case the pattern correlation is disabled ( R1<1> =0) the AS3933 wakes up upon detection of the carrier frequency only as shown in Figure 50 . The minimum duration of the carrier burst in order to ensure that AS 3933 wakes up and the RSSI is settled is specified in the Figure 52 . In addition the carrier burst does not have to be longer than 155 periods of the Clock Generator (Crystal oscillator or RCO or External Clock). As shown in the Figure 20 , the AS3933 after the de tection of the carrier goes directly from the Listenin g mode to Data receiving mode after settling the RSSI. Wake-Up Protocol: Pattern Detection Enabled In case the pattern correlation is enabled ( R1<1> =1) the AS3933 generates a wake-up interrupt if the wake-up protocol is fulfilled. The communication protocol consists of a carrier burst, a preamble (0101010…. ON/OFF modulated carrier) and the 16-bit pattern. In case the double pattern option is enabled (R1<2> =1) the 16-bit pattern has to be repeated 2 times consequentially (2 times the same pattern). The signal on the WAKE pin goes high one bit after the end of the pattern and the data transmission can get started. Carrier Burst Data Carrier Burst WAKE Clear_wake DAT

[v1-08] 2015-Sep-02 Document Feedback AS3933 − Detailed Description Clock Generator The Clock Generator can be based on a crystal oscillator (R1<0> =1), the internal RC-oscillator ( R1<0> =0), or an external clock source ( R1<0> =1). The crystal oscillator has higher precision of the frequency with higher current consumption and needs three external components (crystal plus two capacitors). The RC-oscillator is completely integrated and can be calibrated to increase its pr ecision. Should a digital clock already be available it can be applied directly to the XOUT pin (XIN to VDD). Regardless which clock generator is chosen, the frequency of the Clock Generator must be set according to the carrier frequency. Figure 56 shows the dependency of the Clock Generator frequency from the carrier frequency and operating frequency band. Figure 56: Clock Generator Frequency vs Frequency Band It is possible to display the frequency of the clock generator on the CL_DAT pin writing R2<3:2> =11 and R16<7> =1.

[v1-08] 2015-Sep-02 Document Feedback AS3933 − Detailed Description In case the pattern detection and the Manchester decoder are not enabled ( R1<1> =0 and R1<3> =1) the calibration on the RC-oscillator is not needed. Should this not be the case, the RC-oscillator has to be calibrated. The calibration of the RC-oscillator can be done in two different ways:

  • Over SPI, the host system (MCU ) has to be able to provide 65 clock pulses of a reference clock. In this case the host has to have a precise reference clock (quartz, resonator etc.).
  • Using the internal calibration procedure based on the antenna resonator. Using th is calibration method the RC-oscillator is automatically trimmed to the proper frequency, according to the operating frequency band. The precision of the calibration depends on the tolerances of the resonator of the first channel (LC connected to LF1P). RC-Oscillator: Calibration via SPI . The calibration gets started with the Calib_RCosc direct command. Since no non-volatile memory is available on the chip, the calibration must be done every time after battery replacement. Since the Clock Generator defines the time base of the frequency detection, the selected frequency depends on the carrier frequency. The choice of the reference clock frequency delivered by the host (MCU) is the same as the choice of the frequenc y in case the crystal oscillator is used and it is shown in the Figure 56 . To trim the RC-Oscillator, set the chip select (CS) to high before sending the direct command Calib_RCosc over SPI. Then 65 digital clock cycles of the reference clock (e.g. 125kHz/4=31.25kHz) have to be sent on the clock bus (SCLK), as shown in Figure 59 . After that the signal on the chip select (CS) has to be pulled down. The calibration is effective after the 65th reference clock edge and it will be stored in a volatile memory. In case the RC-oscillator is switched OFF or a power-on-reset happens (e.g. battery change) the calibration has to be repeated.

Document Feedback [v1-08] 2015-Sep-02 AS3933 − Detailed Description RC-Oscillator: Self Calibration . This procedure uses the LC-tank (antenna) connected to the channel 1 (LF1P) not as antenna but as resonator for an oscillator. The internal LC oscillator is therefore connected through a multiplexer to the external tank. The LC-oscillator generates a clock which corresponds to the resonance frequency of the LC-tank. In a typical application the user designs the external resona tors such to set the resonance frequency of the external LC-tank as close as possible to the carrier frequency. The mathematical relation between the oscillation frequency and the LC time constant is: Where: L is the inductance and C the capacitance of the external antenna To start the calibration the direct command Calib_RCO_LC must be sent over the SPI and as soon as the bit R14<7> is high, the RC-oscillator will be calibrated. The calibrated frequency of the RC-oscillator depends on the carrier frequency and is automatically set to better pe rform the frequency detection, according to the Figure 56 . External Clock Source To clock the AS3933 with an exte rnal signal, the external clock generator ( R2<6> =1) and the crystal oscillator ( R1<0> =1) need to be enabled. As shown in the Figure 4 the clock can be directly applied on the pin XOUT while the pin XIN must be connected to VDD. The clock characteristics are summarized in Figure 60 . Figure 60: Characteristics of External Clock Note(s): In power down mode the exte rnal clock has to be set to a definite potential (VDD or ground).

With the bits R16<2:0> it is possible to connect the LC-oscillator to the three different antennas. Channel Selection in Scanning Mode and ON/OFF Mode In case only 2 channels are active and one of the Low Power modes is enabled, then the channels 1 and 3 have to be active.
