An external loop filter at pin LF determines the dynamic behaviour of the PLL and suppresses reference spurious signals. The VCO’s output signal feeds the power amplifier PA . RF signal power Po can be adjusted in six steps from Po = dBm to +1 dBm either by changing the value of resistor RPS or by varying the voltage VPS at pin PS. The open-collector differential output OUT1, OUT2 can be used to either directly drive a loop antenna or to be converted to a singleended impedance by means of a balanced-tounbalanced balun transformer. For maximum available output power, the differential output should be matched to a load of approx. 1 Bandgap biasing ensures stable operation of the IC at a power supply range of V to V. FSK Modulation A Colpitts crystal oscillator XOSC is used as the reference oscillator of a phase-locked loop PLL synthesizer. FSK modulation is achieved by pulling the crystal XTAL through the data. So a CMOScompatible data stream applied at input DATA digitally modulates the XOSC. Two external pulling capacitors CX1 and CX2 allow the FSK deviation and center frequency to be adjusted independently. At DATA = LOW CX2 is connected in parallel to CX1 leading to the low-frequency component of the FSK spectrum fmin while at DATA = HIGH CX2 is deactivated and the XOSC is set to its high frequency, leading to fmax. An external reference signal can be directly ACcoupled to pin RO1. Then the TH7108 is used without an XTAL. The reference signal has to contain the FSK or FM and sets the carrier frequency. Frequency Modulation FM For FM operation an external varactor is required. It simply acts as a pulling capacitor connected in series to the crystal. Then the analog modulation signal, applied through a series resistor, directly modulates the XOSC. ASK Modulation The TH7108 can be ASK-modulated by applying data directly at pin PS. This turns the PA on and off and therefore leads to an ASK signal at the output. Mode Control Logic The mode control logic allows four different modes of operation as listed in the following table. The mode control pins ENCK and ENTX are pulleddown internally. This guarantees that the whole circuit is shut down if these pins are left floating. The clock output CKOUT can be used to drive a µC. This output can be activated by the ENCK pin as required for any specific application. Clock frequency is 1/8 of the reference crystal frequency. The clock output is slew-rate limited in order to keep spurious signal emission as low as possible. The voltage swing at CKOUT depends on the capacitive loading at this pin. It is approx. 2 Vpp at Cload = 5 pF.

Theory of Operation

General As depicted in Fig.1, the TH7108 transmitter consists of a fully integrated voltage-controlled oscillator VCO , a divide-by-32 divider div32 , a phase-frequency detector PFD and a charge pump. An external loop filter at pin LF determines the dynamic behaviour of the PLL and suppresses reference spurious signals. The VCO’s output signal feeds the power amplifier PA .
