GENERAL DESCRIPTION

The XE1202 is a single chip transceiver operating in
the 433, 868 and 915MHz license free ISM (Industry
Scientific and Medical) frequency bands. Its highly
integrated architecture allows for minimum external
components while maintaining design flexibility. All
major RF communication parameters are
programmable and most of them can be dynamically
set. The XE1202 offers the unique advantage of
narrow-band and wide-band communication, this
without the need to modify the number or parameters
of the external components. The XE1202 is optimized
for low power consumption while offering high RF
output power and channelized operation suited for both
the European (ETSI-300-220) and the North American
(FCC part 15) regulatory standards

Data Sheet
XE1202

The XE1202 single-chip solution is an integrated circuit intended for use as a low cost FSK transceiver to establish
a frequency-agile, half-duplex, bi-directional RF link, with non-return to zero data coding. The device is available in
an LQFP44 package and is designed to provide a fully functional multi-channel FSK transceiver. It is intended for
applications in the 433- and 868MHz European band and the North American 902-928MHz ISM band. The single
chip transceiver operates down to 2.4 V and provides low power consumption solutions for battery-operated and
power sensitive applications. Thanks to the low external components count, the XE1202 is ideal for small size, low-
cost UHF links. Its reference board design has no tunable components, which facilitates high volume cost sensitive
production.

The XE1202 can easily be interfaced to a controller such as the XEMICS' XE8000 Series of ultra low-power
microcontrollers. The XE1202 serial control registers are programmed by the MCU and the MCU manages the
communication protocol.

4 Description

The XE1202 is a direct conversion (Zero-IF) half-duplex data transceiver. It includes a receiver, a transmitter, a
frequency synthesizer and some service blocks. The circuit operates in 3 frequency ranges (433MHz, 868MHz,
915MHz) and uses 2-level FSK modulation.

In a typical application, the XE1202 is programmed by a microcontroller through the 3-wire serial bus SI, SO, SCK
to write to and read from the configuration registers.

The circuit consists of 4 main functional blocks:

The receiver converts the incoming 2-level FSK modulated signal into a synchronized bit stream. The receiver is
composed of a low-noise amplifier, down-conversion mixers, baseband filters, baseband amplifiers, limiters,
demodulator and the bit synchronizer. The bit synchronizer transforms the data output of the demodulator into a
glitch-free bit stream DATAOUT and generates a synchronized clock DCLK to be used to easily sample the
DATAOUT signal without loading an external processor with heavy signal processing. In addition, the receiver
includes a Received Signal Strength Indicator function (RSSI), a Frequency Error Indicator function (FEI) that gives
indication about the frequency error of the local oscillator, and pattern recognition function to detect programmable
reference word in the incoming bit stream. The bandwidth of the base-band filters, the frequency deviation of the
expected incoming FSK signal as well as the bitrate of this bit stream are programmable.

The transmitter performs the modulation of the carrier by an input bit stream and the transmission of the
modulated signal. The modulation is made directly through the frequency synthesizer. An on-chip power amplifier
then amplifies the signal. The output power is programmable among 4 possible values. The frequency deviation
and the bit rate for the transmit signal are the same as those programmed for the receiver section.

8 D0306-105

Data Sheet
XE1202

The frequency synthesizer generates the local oscillator (LO) signal for the receiver section as well as the FSK
modulated signal for the transmitter section. The core of the synthesizer is implemented with a PLL structure. The
frequency is programmable with a step of 500 Hz in 3 frequency bands, 433-, 868-, and 915-MHz. This section
includes a crystal oscillator whose signal is the reference for the PLL. This reference frequency is divided by 4, 8,
16, or 32 and is made available at the CLKOUT pin to serve as a clock signal for an external processor.

The control block generates the control signals according to the setting in its set of configuration registers.

The service block performs all the necessary functions for the circuit to work properly, including the internal
voltage and current sources.

4.1 Detailed

description

4.1.1 Receiver
The outputs of the receiver are the two signals DATAOUT and DCLK. When the bit "RTParam_Bits" is "1" (see the
Configuration register section below), the bit synchronizer is turned on, and the two output signals are respectively
the output NRZ bit stream and the sampling clock. The function of the bit synchronizer is to remove the glitches
from the bit stream DATAOUT and to provide the output clock DCLK. The value of DATAOUT is valid at the rising
edge of DCLK.

For proper behavior of the bit synchronizer, three conditions must be satisfied:

the received data must start with a preamble of 24 bits for synchronization; this preamble must be a
sequence of "0" and "1" sent alternatively,

after that, the incoming bit stream must have at least one transition from "0" to "1" or from "1" to "0"
every 8 bits,

the accuracy of the bit rate must be better than

5 % (assuming the reference Xtal oscillator is exactly

39 MHz)

When "RTParam_Bits" is "0", the bit synchronizer is turned off, and the signal DATAOUT is the output of the
demodulator. In this case DCLK is not used and its value is set to "low".

The condition on the modulation index for proper behavior of the demodulator is:

where

f is the frequency deviation and BR the bit rate.

The table below gives the sensitivity for different bit rates, frequency deviations and filter bandwidths.

f=5 kHz, BW=10 kHz

4.1.2

High sensitivity vs. high linearity: A-mode, B-mode

The receiver can be operated in two different modes that provide the highest sensitivity or the highest linearity. This
is programmable with the register "

RTParam_Rmode

" (see the Configuration register section below).

A-mode: the receiver has the highest sensitivity (see RFS parameter)

B-mode: the receiver has the highest linearity (see IIP3 parameter)

4.1.3 RSSI
When activated, this function provides a Received Signal Strength Indication based on the signal at the output of
the base-band filter. To activate this function, the bit "RTParam_RSSI" (see the Configuration register section
below) must be set "1". When activated, the status is a 2-bits data stored in register "DataOut_RSSI", which can be
read through the serial control interface. The meaning of this status information is given in the table below, where
V

RFFIL

is the differential amplitude of the equivalent input RF signal when the receiver is operated in A-mode. The

thresholds VTHRi are the thresholds at the output of the base-band filter divided by the gain between the input of
the receiver and this output.

The time diagram of an RSSI measurement is given in the next figure. When the RSSI function has been activated
the signal strength is periodically measured and the result is stored in the register "DataOut_RSSI" at each rising
edge of the DATAIN. TS_RS is the wake-up time required after the function has been activated to get a valid result.

Figure 2 RSSI measurement timing diagram

For applications where the time needed to get the first right result from the RSSI has to be as low as possible, this
time can be minimized by waking up the RSSI during mode 010 instead of 100 (see the definition of TS_RS in page
6).

4.1.4

Frequency Error Indicator - FEI

When activated, this function provides information about the frequency error of the local oscillator compared with
the input carrier frequency. The condition on the modulation index for proper behavior of the FEI function is:

where

f is the frequency deviation and BR is the bit rate.

There are 2 modes of operation for this function selected by the bit "RTParam_Fsel" (see the Configuration register
section below).

IMPORTANT NOTE
To guarantee proper behavior of the FEI, the sum of frequency offset and the signal bandwidth (ssb) should be
lower than the baseband filter bandwidth (single sided). That is

offset

+ SignalBW < Baseband_filterBW

where f

offset

is the difference between the carrier frequency and the LO frequency, SignalBW is the signal bandwidth

(single sided) equal to the sum of the bitrate divided by 2 and the frequency deviation (Bitrate/2 + Frequency
Deviation), and Baseband_filterBW is the channel filter bandwidth defined by the RTParam_BW parameter (see the
Configuration Registers section below).
4.1.4.1 "RTParam_Fsel"

To activate the FEI function, the bit "RTParam_FEI" must be set to "1". When activated, the function provides a 2-
bits status stored in register "DataOut_FEI". The meaning of this output is given in the following table, where f

the internal local oscillator frequency, and f

is the carrier frequency of the received signal.

The threshold f

= FERR * BR, where BR is the bit rate and FERR is a ratio given in the electrical specifications.

As an example, for a bit rate of 4.8 kb/s and with FERR = 0.5, f

ERR

is 2.4 kHz.

This FEI function works properly only if the input signal is the preamble defined under the Receiver section above
and if the frequency error to be detected is lower than 20 kHz.

The time diagram of an FEI measurement is quite similar to the one of an RSSI measurement, and is given in the
figure below. When the FEI is activated the frequency error is periodically measured and the result is stored in the
register "DataOut_FEI" at each rising edge of DATAIN. TS_FE is the wake-up time required after the function has
been activated to get a valid result.

Figure 3 FEI measurement time diagram, RTParam_Fsel = 1

4.1.4.2 "RTParam_Fsel"

To activate the FEI function, the bit "RTParam_FEI" must be set to "1". When activated by the rising edge of
DATAIN, the function provides an 8-bits status stored in register "DataOut_FEI".
In this mode, the signal at the output of the demodulator of the receiver is oversampled during 4 bits. Each sample
is used to control an up/down counter, which means that each time a sample is "1" the content of the counter is
incremented, each time a sample is "0" the content of the counter is decremented. As a consequence, the final 8-
bits value of the counter which is transferred to DataOut_FEI gives an indication of the duty cycle of the
demodulated signal; if DataOut_FEI is about 0, the duty cycle is about 50%, and generally it means that the LO is
right. The extreme values are -128 and 127. The further from 0 the value of DataOut_FEI, the higher the error on
the LO frequency. Since this FEI uses the signal before the bit synchronizer, its value can slightly vary from a
measurement to another, due to the presence of jitter and glitches in the signal. If possible, it is advised to make 4-
5 measurements and take the average value.
The timing diagram of this FEI measurement is described in the in figure below. The FEI function is activated at the
rising edge of the EN signal when the RTParam_FEI bit is set to "1". Then, the internal FEI counter is activated at
the rising edge of DATAIN. After a duration TS_FE equal to the duration of 4 bits (see Electrical Specifications), the
counter is stopped and its content is stored in the register DataOut_FEI. The maximum delay between the rising
edge of DATAIN and the first clock on the internal FEI counter is 1/(16*BR), where BR is the bit rate.

The type of modulation of the LO frequency by the modulating bit stream is programmable through
RTParam_Filter:

- the input bit stream is directly applied to the frequency synthesizer without any pre-filtering

(RTParam_Filter=0)

the input bit stream is pre-filtered before being applied to the frequency synthesizer; with this filtering, each
edge of the bit stream is linearly smoothed with a staircase transition (RTParam_Filter=1)

This is illustrated on the next page where DATAIN is the input bit stream to be transmitted.

4.1.6 Pattern

recognition

XE1202 includes a pattern recognition function. When "ADParam_Pattern" (see the Configuration register section
below) is set to "1" this feature is turned on, provided the bit synchronizer is turned on too (the pattern recognition
feature doesn't work if the bit synchronizer is turned off). In this case, the incoming NRZ bit stream is compared
with a pattern stored in the "Pattern" register. The length of this pattern can be 8, 16, 24, or 32 bits, as defined by
"ADParam_Psize". When comparing the streams 0, 1, 2, or 3 errors, as defined by "ADParam_Psize" can be
allowed to detect a match. The PATTERN output is driven by the output of this comparator. It is "high" when a
match is detected, otherwise "low".

When the feature is disabled, the PATTERN output is set to "low"

4.1.7 Frequency

synthesizer

The exact frequency step of the frequency synthesizer can be obtained from the following equation:

FSTEP = FXTAL / 77'824.

As an example, if FXTAL is exactly 39 MHz, FSTEP = 501.13 Hz.

D0306-105

Data Sheet
XE1202

When "RTParam_Clkout" is set high, a frequency divider by 4, 8, 16, or 32, depending on "ADParam_Clkfreq" (see
the Configuration register section below), is embedded in XE1202 and provides the CLKOUT clock signal for an
MCU or an external circuitry. The input frequency is the 39.0 MHz reference frequency, so the possible clocks
available on CLKOUT are 1.22, 2.44, 4.87, or 9.75 MHz. When the XE1202 is in Sleep Mode (MODE[2:0] = 000),
this clock is stopped.

5 Interface definition, Principles of operation

5.1 Serial

Control

Interface

A 3-wire bi-directional bus (SCK, SI, SO) is used to program the XE1202 and read data from it. SCK and SI are
input signals, for example generated by a microcontroller. SO is an output signal controlled by the XE1202. In write
mode, at the falling edge of the SCK signal, the logic data on the SI line is written into an internal shift register. In
read mode, at the rising edge of the SCK signal, the data on the SO line become valid and should be sampled at
the next falling edge of SCK.

The signal EN must be low during the whole write and read sequences. In write mode the actual content of the
configuration register is updated at the rising edge of the EN signal. Before this, the new data is stored in temporary
registers whose content does not affect the transceiver settings.

The time diagram of a write sequence is given in the figure below. The sequence is initiated when a Start condition
is detected, that is when the SI signal is set to "0" during a period of SCK. The next bit is a read/write (R/W) bit
which should be "0" to indicate a write operation. The next 5 bits are the address of the control register A[4:0] to be
accessed, MSB first. Then, the next 8 bits are the data to be written in the register. The sequence ends with 2 stop
bits set to "1". The data on SI should change at the rising edges of SCK, and are sampled at the falling edge of
SCK. After the 2 stop bits, the data transfer is terminated, even if the SI line stays at "1". After this the SI line should
be at "1" for at least one clock cycle on SCK before a new write or read sequence can start. In doing this, users can
write multiple registers in raw, there is no need to raise the EN signal in between. The duty cycle of SCK must be
between 40 % and 60 % and the maximum frequency of this signal is 1 MHz. Over the operating supply and
temperature range, set-up and hold time for SI on the falling edge of SCK are 200ns.

The time diagram of a read sequence is given in figure 7. The sequence is initiated when a Start condition is
detected, that is when the SI signal is set to "0" during a period of SCK. The next bit is a read/write (R/W) bit which
should be "1" to indicate a read operation. The next 5 bits are the address of the control register A[4:0] to be
accessed, MSB first. Then the data from the register are transmitted on the SO pin. The data become valid at the
rising edges of SCK and should be sampled at the falling edge of SCK. After this the data transfer is terminated.
The SI line must stay high for at least one clock cycle on SCK to start a new write or read sequence. The maximum
current drive on SO is 2mA @ 2.7V, the maximum load is CLop.

5.2.5 Pattern

register

In this register, users can store a reference pattern of 8, 16, 24, or 32 bits (see ADParam_Psize parameter). The
first byte of this pattern is always stored in the byte at address A[4:0] = 01000. If used, the 2

byte is stored at

address A[4:0] = 01001, and so on. The MSB bit of the reference pattern is always the bit 7 of the address 01000
and the LSB bit is the bit 0 of the address 01000, 01001, 01010, or 01011 if the pattern length is 8, resp. 16, 24, or
32 bits. When compared to the demodulated bit stream, the last bit received is compared to the LSB bit in the
Pattern register. The "oldest" bit received (the first of the last 8, 16, 24, or 32 received bits, depending on
ADParam_Psize) is compared with the bit 7 of byte address 01000 (the MSB).

5.3 Operating

Modes

The XE1202 has 4 main operating modes as set by the MODE[2:0] inputs and illustrated in table below. To switch
between modes, the new value of the inputs MODE[2:0] should be modified when the EN signal is low. The actual
change will be applied to the transceiver upon the rising edge of the EN signal.

Over the operating supply and temperature range, set-up and hold time for MODE[2:0] on the rising edge of EN are
200ns, while the negative pulse duration on EN is 2µs minimum.

5.4 Transmitted Data Interface

When in transmit mode (MODE[2:0] = 111), the DATAIN signal is used as input for the on-chip modulator. DATAIN
is not sampled, so the bit duration should match the bit rate setting of the receiver. Whenever XE1202 are used on
both sides of the communication link, the bit rate should be one of those defined in the specifications table (BR). In
this case the bit rate error should be less than 5% compared to the specified value.

5.5 Received

Data

Interface

The outputs of the receiver are the two signals DATAOUT and DCLK. When the bit "RTParam_Bits" is "1", the bit
synchronizer is turned on, and the two output signals are respectively the output NRZ bit stream and the sampling
clock. The value of DATAOUT is valid at the rising edge of DCLK (see below).

When "RTParam_Bits" is "0", the bit synchronizer is turned off, and the signal DATAOUT is the output of the
demodulator. In this case DCLK is not used and its value is set to "low". The maximum current drive on DATAOUT
and DCLK is 2mA @ 2.7V, the maximum load is Clop.

5.6 Pattern Recognition Interface

When this feature is turned on, the incoming NRZ bit stream is compared with a pattern stored in the "Pattern"
register. The PATTERN output is driven by the output of this comparator and is synchronized by DCK. It is "high"
when a match is detected, otherwise "low". Changes occur at the rising edge of DCK

When the feature is disabled, the PATTERN output is set to "low". The maximum current drive on PATTERN is
2mA @ 2.7V, the maximum load is Clop.

5.7 Clock Output Interface

CLKOUT is a clock signal at 1.22, 2.44, 4.87, or 9.75 MHz, depending on programming. When the XE1202 is in
Sleep Mode (MODE[2:0] = 000) or when "RTParam_Clkout" is low, this clock is stopped.

5.8 Default settings at power-up

Upon power-up all , RTParam, FSParam, ADParam and Pattern registers are set to 00hex .

At power-up, XE1202 is in Stand-by mode, which means that the Xtal oscillator is running; furthermore, the signal
at 1.22 MHz (reference frequency divided by 32) is present on pin CLKOUT. However, internally,
RTParam_Clkout is low, which means that, if nothing is changed in the configuration register, the signal on
CLKOUT will disappear at the first rising edge of EN; furthermore, at this first rising edge of EN, the circuit will be
put in the mode corresponding to the signals on pins MODE(2:0) at this moment. Thus, to keep the circuit in
Standy-by mode and the clock signal present on CLKOUT, RTParam_Clkout has to be set high during the first
communication through the 3-wire bus, and the MODE(0) has to be set high before the first rising edge of EN.

It is strongly recommended to initialize the XE1202 registers right after power-up according to the application
needs.

6.5 Reference crystal for the frequency synthesizer

For narrow band applications, where users select the lowest frequency deviation and the narrowest baseband filter,
the crystal for reference oscillator of the frequency synthesizer must have the following characteristics:

Table 6 Crystal characteristics

(*) The on-chip oscillator is implemented in two selectable versions: the first for CL = 8 pF and C0 = 7 pF, and the
second for CL = 8 pF and C0 = 3 pF; the latter will allow a higher amplitude for the internal signal with a slightly
lower consumption.

The electrical specifications given in section 3.2.2 are valid provided the crystal satisfies the specifications given in
table 5.

For less demanding applications in term of signal bandwidth and/or temperature range, it is possible to use crystal
with larger values for

fs(0),

fs(

T), and/or

fs(

t). In this case foffset + BWssb should be lower than BWfilter,

where foffset is the offset (error) on the carrier frequency (the sum of

fs(0),

fs(

T), and/or

fs(

t)), BWssb is the

single side-band bandwidth of the signal, and BWfilter is the single side-band bandwidth of the base-band filter.

XE1202 can be used with reference crystal operating on its 3

harmonic at 39.00 MHz. This has 2 consequences:

a) the oscillator start-up time is higher than in fundamental mode; and b) an extra 1.5k to 16k ohm external resistor
has to be placed in parallel to the crystal. In this case, the crystal should have Cload = 8 to 10pF, Rm < 60 ohm, C0
< 7pF.
