ADF7020 Data Sheet
Rev. E | Page 4 of 47
GENERAL DESCRIPTION The ADF7020 is a low power, highly integrated FSK/ASK/OOK transceiver designed for operation in the license-free ISM bands at 433 MHz, 868 MHz, and 915 MHz, as well as the proposed Japanese RFID band at 950 MHz. A Gaussian data filter option is available to allow either GFSK or G-ASK modulation, which provides a more spectrally efficient modulation. In addition to these modulation options, the ADF7020 can also be used to perform both MSK and GMSK modulation, where MSK is a special case of FSK with a modulation index of 0.5. The modula-tion index is calculated as twice the deviation divided by the data rate. MSK is spectrally equivalent to O-QPSK modulation with half-sinusoidal Tx baseband shaping, so the ADF7020 can also support this modulation option by setting up the device in MSK mode.
This device is suitable for circuit applications that meet the European ETSI-300-220, the North American FCC (Part 15), or the Chinese Short Range Device regulatory standards. A complete transceiver can be built using a small number of external discrete components, making the ADF7020 very suitable for price-sensitive and area-sensitive applications.
The transmitter block on the ADF7020 contains a VCO and low noise fractional-N PLL with an output resolution of <1 ppm. This frequency agile PLL allows the ADF7020 to be used in frequency-hopping spread spectrum (FHSS) systems. The VCO operates at twice the fundamental frequency to reduce spurious emissions and frequency-pulling problems.
The transmitter output power is programmable in 0.3 dB steps from −16 dBm to +13 dBm. The transceiver RF frequency and modulation are programmable using a simple 3-wire interface. The device operates with a power supply range of 2.3 V to 3.6 V and can be powered down when not in use.
A low IF architecture is used in the receiver (200 kHz), minimizing power consumption and the external component count and avoiding interference problems at low frequencies. The ADF7020 supports a wide variety of programmable features, including Rx linearity, sensitivity, and IF bandwidth, allowing the user to trade off receiver sensitivity and selectivity against current consumption, depending on the application. The receiver also features a patent-pending automatic frequency control (AFC) loop, allowing the PLL to track out the frequency error in the incoming signal.
An on-chip ADC provides readback of an integrated temperature sensor, an external analog input, the battery voltage, or the RSSI signal, which provides savings on an ADC in some applications. The temperature sensor is accurate to ±10°C over the full operating temperature range of −40°C to +85°C. This accuracy can be improved by doing a 1-point calibration at room temperature and storing the result in memory.

Figure 6. Pin Configuration
Table 4. Pin Function Descriptions Pin No. Mnemonic Description 1 VCOIN The tuning voltage on this pin determines the output frequency of the voltage-controlled oscillator (VCO).
The higher the tuning voltage, the higher the output frequency. 2 CREG1 Regulator Voltage for PA Block. A 100 nF in parallel with a 5.1 pF capacitor should be placed between this
pin and ground for regulator stability and noise rejection. 3 VDD1 Voltage Supply for PA Block. Decoupling capacitors of 0.1 μF and 10 pF should be placed as close as
possible to this pin. All VDD pins should be tied together. 4 RFOUT The modulated signal is available at this pin. Output power levels are from −20 dBm to +13 dBm. The
output should be impedance matched to the desired load using suitable components. See the Transmitter section.
5 RFGND Ground for Output Stage of Transmitter. All GND pins should be tied together. 6 RFIN LNA Input for Receiver Section. Input matching is required between the antenna and the differential LNA
input to ensure maximum power transfer. See the LNA/PA Matching section. 7 RFINB Complementary LNA Input. See the LNA/PA Matching section. 8 RLNA External bias resistor for LNA. Optimum resistor is 1.1 kΩ with 5% tolerance. 9 VDD4 Voltage Supply for LNA/MIXER Block. This pin should be decoupled to ground with a 10 nF capacitor. 10 RSET External Resistor to Set Charge Pump Current and Some Internal Bias Currents. Use 3.6 kΩ with 5%
tolerance. 11 CREG4 Regulator Voltage for LNA/MIXER Block. A 100 nF capacitor should be placed between this pin and GND
for regulator stability and noise rejection. 12 GND4 Ground for LNA/MIXER Block. 13 to 18 MIX_I, MIX_I,
MIX_Q, MIX_Q, FILT_I, FILT_I
Signal Chain Test Pins. These pins are high impedance under normal conditions and should be left unconnected.
19, 22 GND4 Ground for LNA/MIXER Block. 20, 21, 23 FILT_Q, FILT_Q,
TEST_A Signal Chain Test Pins. These pins are high impedance under normal conditions and should be left unconnected.
24 CE Chip Enable. Bringing CE low puts the ADF7020 into complete power-down. Register values are lost when CE is low, and the part must be reprogrammed once CE is brought high.
25 SLE Load Enable, CMOS Input. When LE goes high, the data stored in the shift registers is loaded into one of the fourteen latches. A latch is selected using the control bits.
26 SDATA Serial Data Input. The serial data is loaded MSB first with the two LSBs as the control bits. This pin is a high impedance CMOS input.

Pin No. Mnemonic Description 27 SREAD Serial Data Output. This pin is used to feed readback data from the ADF7020 to the microcontroller. The
SCLK input is used to clock each readback bit (AFC, ADC readback) from the SREAD pin. 28 SCLK Serial Clock Input. This serial clock is used to clock in the serial data to the registers. The data is latched into
the 24-bit shift register on the CLK rising edge. This pin is a digital CMOS input. 29 GND2 Ground for Digital Section. 30 ADCIN Analog-to-Digital Converter Input. The internal 7-bit ADC can be accessed through this pin. Full scale is 0 V
to 1.9 V. Readback is made using the SREAD pin. 31 CREG2 Regulator Voltage for Digital Block. A 100 nF in parallel with a 5.1 pF capacitor should be placed between
this pin and ground for regulator stability and noise rejection. 32 VDD2 Voltage Supply for Digital Block. A decoupling capacitor of 10 nF should be placed as close as possible to
this pin. 33 INT/LOCK Bidirectional Pin. In output mode (interrupt mode), the ADF7020 asserts the INT/ LOCK pin when it has
found a match for the preamble sequence. In input mode (lock mode), the microcontroller can be used to lock the demodulator threshold when a valid preamble has been detected. Once the threshold is locked, NRZ data can be reliably received. In this mode, a demodulation lock can be asserted with minimum delay.
34 DATA I/O Transmit Data Input/Received Data Output. This is a digital pin, and normal CMOS levels apply. 35 DATA CLK In receive mode, the pin outputs the synchronized data clock. The positive clock edge is matched to the

FREQUENCY SYNTHESIZER REFERENCE INPUT The on-board crystal oscillator circuitry (see Figure 19) can use an inexpensive quartz crystal as the PLL reference. The oscillator circuit is enabled by setting R1_DB12 high. It is enabled by default on power-up and is disabled by bringing CE low. Errors in the crystal can be corrected using the automatic frequency control (see the AFC section) feature or by adjusting the fractional-N value (see the N Counter section). A single-ended reference (TCXO, CXO) can also be used. The CMOS levels should be applied to OSC2 with R1_DB12 set low.

Figure 19. Oscillator Circuit on the ADF7020
Two parallel resonant capacitors are required for oscillation at the correct frequency; their values are dependent on the crystal specification. They should be chosen so that the series value of capacitance added to the PCB track capacitance adds up to the load capacitance of the crystal, usually 20 pF. PCB track capacitance values might vary from 2 pF to 5 pF, depending on board layout. Thus, calculate CP1 and CP2 using:

Where possible, choose capacitors that have a low temperature coefficient to ensure stable frequency operation over all conditions.
CLKOUT Divider and Buffer
The CLKOUT circuit takes the reference clock signal from the oscillator section, shown in Figure 20, and supplies a divided down 50:50 mark-space signal to the CLKOUT pin. An even divide from 2 to 30 is available. This divide number is set in R1_DB[8:11]. On power-up, the CLKOUT defaults to divide-by-8.

Figure 20. CLKOUT Stage
To disable CLKOUT, set the divide number to 0. The output buffer can drive up to a 20 pF load with a 10% rise time at 4.8 MHz. Faster edges can result in some spurious feedthrough to the output. A small series resistor (50 Ω) can be used to slow the clock edges to reduce these spurs at fCLK.
R Counter
The 3-bit R counter divides the reference input frequency by an integer ranging from 1 to 7. The divided-down signal is presented as the reference clock to the phase frequency detector (PFD). The divide ratio is set in Register 1. Maximizing the PFD frequency reduces the N value. Every doubling of the PFD gives a 3 dB benefit in phase noise, as well as reducing occurrences of spurious components. The R register defaults to R = 1 on power-up.
PFD [Hz] = XTAL/R
MUXOUT and Lock Detect
The MUXOUT pin allows the user to access various digital points in the ADF7020. The state of MUXOUT is controlled by Bits R0_DB[29:31].
Regulator Ready
Regulator ready is the default setting on MUXOUT after the transceiver has been powered up. The power-up time of the regulator is typically 50 μs. Because the serial interface is powered from the regulator, the regulator must be at its nominal voltage before the ADF7020 can be programmed. The status of the regulator can be monitored at MUXOUT. When the regulator ready signal on MUXOUT is high, programming of the ADF7020 can begin.

Digital Lock Detect
Digital lock detect is active high. The lock detect circuit is located at the PFD. When the phase error on five consecutive cycles is less than 15 ns, lock detect is set high. Lock detect remains high until 25 ns phase error is detected at the PFD. Because no external components are needed for digital lock detect, it is more widely used than analog lock detect.
Analog Lock Detect
This N-channel open-drain lock detect should be operated with an external pull-up resistor of 10 kΩ nominal. When a lock has been detected, this output is high with narrow low going pulses.
ADF7020 Data Sheet
Rev. E | Page 16 of 47
Voltage Regulators
The ADF7020 contains four regulators to supply stable voltages to the part. The nominal regulator voltage is 2.3 V. Each regulator should have a 100 nF capacitor connected between CREGx and GND. When CE is high, the regulators and other associated circuitry are powered on, drawing a total supply current of 2 mA. Bringing the chip-enable pin low disables the regulators, reduces the supply current to less than 1 μA, and erases all values held in the registers. The serial interface operates off a regulator supply; therefore, to write to the part, the user must have CE high and the regulator voltage must be stabilized. Regulator status (CREG4) can be monitored using the regulator ready signal from MUXOUT.
Loop Filter
The loop filter integrates the current pulses from the charge pump to form a voltage that tunes the output of the VCO to the desired frequency. It also attenuates spurious levels generated by the PLL. A typical loop filter design is shown in Figure 22.

CHARGEPUMP OUT
VCO
Figure 22. Typical Loop Filter Configuration
In FSK, the loop should be designed so that the loop bandwidth (LBW) is approximately one and a half times the data rate. Widening the LBW excessively reduces the time spent jumping between frequencies, but it can cause insufficient spurious attenuation.
For ASK systems, a wider LBW is recommended. The sudden large transition between two power levels can result in VCO pulling and can cause a wider output spectrum than is desired. By widening the LBW to more than 10 times the data rate, the amount of VCO pulling is reduced, because the loop settles quickly back to the correct frequency. The wider LBW can restrict the output power and data rate of ASK-based systems compared with FSK-based systems.
Narrow-loop bandwidths can result in the loop taking long periods of time to attain lock. Careful design of the loop filter is critical to obtaining accurate FSK/GFSK modulation.
For GFSK, it is recommended that an LBW of 1.0 to 1.5 times the data rate be used to ensure that sufficient samples are taken of the input data while filtering system noise. The free design tool ADIsimSRD Design Studio™ can be used to design loop filters for the ADF7020. It can also be used to view the effect of loop filter bandwidth on the spectrum of the transmitted signal for different combinations of modulation type, data rates, and modulation indices.
N Counter
The feedback divider in the ADF7020 PLL consists of an 8-bit integer counter and a 15-bit Σ-Δ fractional-N divider. The integer counter is the standard pulse-swallow type common in PLLs. This sets the minimum integer divide value to 31. The fractional divide value gives very fine resolution at the output, where the output frequency of the PLL is calculated as

The maximum N divide value is the combination of the INTEGER_N (maximum = 255) and the FRACTIONAL_N (maximum = 32767/32768) and puts a lower limit on the minimum usable PFD.
PFDMIN [Hz] = Maximum Required Output Frequency/(255 + 1)
For example, when operating in the European 868 MHz to 870 MHz band, PFDMIN equals 3.4 MHz. In the majority of cases, it is advisable to use as high a value of PFD as possible to obtain best phase noise performance.
Voltage Controlled Oscillator (VCO)
To minimize spurious emissions, the on-chip VCO operates from 1724 MHz to 1912 MHz. The VCO signal is then divided by 2 to give the required frequency for the transmitter and the required LO frequency for the receiver.
The VCO should be recentered, depending on the required frequency of operation, by programming the VCO Adjust Bits R1_DB[20:21].
The VCO is enabled as part of the PLL by the PLL Enable bit, R0_DB28.
A further frequency divide-by-2 block is included to allow operation in the lower 433 MHz and 460 MHz bands. To enable operation in these bands, R1_DB13 should be set to 1. The VCO needs an external 22 nF between the VCO and the regulator to reduce internal noise.

CHOOSING CHANNELS FOR BEST SYSTEM PERFORMANCE The fractional-N PLL allows the selection of any channel within 868 MHz to 956 MHz (and 433 MHz using divide-by-2) to a resolution of <300 Hz. This also facilitates frequency-hopping systems.
Careful selection of the XTAL frequency is important to achieve best spurious and blocking performance. The architecture of fractional-N causes some level of the nearest integer channel to couple directly to the RF output. This phenomenon is often referred to as integer boundary spurious. If the desired RF channel and the nearest integer channel are separated by a frequency of less than the PLL loop bandwidth (LBW), the integer boundary spurs are not attenuated by the loop.
Integer boundary spurs can be significantly reduced in amplitude by choosing XTAL values that place the wanted RF channel away from integer multiples of the PFD.

TRANSMITTER RF OUTPUT STAGE The PA of the ADF7020 is based on a single-ended, controlled current, open-drain amplifier that has been designed to deliver up to 13 dBm into a 50 Ω load at a maximum frequency of 956 MHz.
The PA output current and, consequently, the output power are programmable over a wide range. The PA configurations in FSK/GFSK and ASK/OOK modulation modes are shown in Figure 25 and Figure 26, respectively. In FSK/GFSK modulation mode, the output power is independent of the state of the DATA I/O pin. In ASK/OOK modulation mode, it is dependent on the state of the DATA I/O pin and Bit R2_DB29, which selects the polarity of the TxData input. For each transmission mode, the output power can be adjusted as follows:
FSK/GFSK The output power is set using Bits R2_DB[9:14].
ASK The output power for the inactive state of the TxData input is set by Bits R2_DB[15:20]. The output power for the active state of the TxData input is set by Bits R2_DB[9:14].
OOK The output power for the active state of the TxData input is set by Bits R2_DB[9:14]. The PA is muted when the TxData input is inactive.

The PA is equipped with overvoltage protection, which makes it robust in severe mismatch conditions. Depending on the applica-tion, one can design a matching network for the PA to exhibit optimum efficiency at the desired radiated output power level for a wide range of different antennas, such as loop or mono-pole antennas. See the LNA/PA Matching section for details.
PA Bias Currents
Control Bits R2_DB[30:31] facilitate an adjustment of the PA bias current to further extend the output power control range, if necessary. If this feature is not required, the default value of 7 μA is recommended. The output stage is powered down by resetting Bit R2_DB4. To reduce the level of undesired spurious emissions, the PA can be muted during the PLL lock phase by toggling this bit.
MODULATION SCHEMES Frequency Shift Keying (FSK)
Frequency shift keying is implemented by setting the N value for the center frequency and then toggling this with the TxData line. The deviation from the center frequency is set using Bits R2_DB[15:23]. The deviation from the center frequency in Hz is

Gaussian Frequency Shift Keying (GFSK)
Gaussian frequency shift keying reduces the bandwidth occupied by the transmitted spectrum by digitally prefiltering the TxData. A TxCLK output line is provided from the ADF7020 for synchronization of TxData from the microcontroller. The TxCLK line can be connected to the clock input of a shift register that clocks data to the transmitter at the exact data rate.

The INDEX_COUNTER variable controls the number of intermediate frequency steps between the low and high frequency. It is usually possible to achieve a given data rate with various combinations of DIVIDER_FACTOR and INDEX_COUNTER. Choosing a higher INDEX_COUNTER can help in improving the spectral performance.
Amplitude Shift Keying (ASK)
Amplitude shift keying is implemented by switching the output stage between two discrete power levels. This is accomplished by toggling the DAC, which controls the output level between two 6-bit values set up in Register 2. A 0 TxData bit sends Bits R2_DB[15:20] to the DAC. A high TxData bit sends Bits R2_DB[9:14] to the DAC. A maximum modulation depth of 30 dB is possible.
On-Off Keying (OOK)
On-off keying is implemented by switching the output stage to a certain power level for a high TxData bit and switching the output stage off for a zero. For OOK, the transmitted power for a high input is programmed using Bits R2_DB[9:14].
Gaussian On-Off Keying (GOOK)
Gaussian on-off keying represents a prefiltered form of OOK modulation. The usually sharp symbol transitions are replaced with smooth Gaussian filtered transitions, the result being a reduction in frequency pulling of the VCO. Frequency pulling of the VCO in OOK mode can lead to a wider than desired BW, especially if it is not possible to increase the loop filter BW > 300 kHz. The GOOK sampling clock samples data at the data rate (see the Setting Up the ADF7020 for GFSK section).

RECEIVER RF FRONT END The ADF7020 is based on a fully integrated, low IF receiver architecture. The low IF architecture facilitates a very low external component count and does not suffer from power line-induced interference problems.
Figure 28 shows the structure of the receiver front end. The many programming options allow users to trade off sensitivity, linearity, and current consumption against each other in the way best suitable for their applications. To achieve a high level of resilience against spurious reception, the LNA features a differential input. Switch SW2 shorts the LNA input when transmit mode is selected (R0_DB27 = 0). This feature facilitates the design of a combined LNA/PA matching network, avoiding the need for an external Rx/Tx switch. See the LNA/PA Matching section for details on the design of the matching network.

The LNA is followed by a quadrature down conversion mixer, that converts the RF signal to the IF frequency of 200 kHz. It is important to consider that the output frequency of the synthesizer must be programmed to a value 200 kHz below the center frequency of the received channel.
The LNA has two basic operating modes: high gain/low noise mode and low gain/low power mode. To switch between these two modes, use the LNA_MODE bit, R6_DB15. The mixer is also configurable between a low current and an enhanced linearity mode using the MIXER_LINEARITY bit, R6_DB18.
Based on the specific sensitivity and linearity requirements of the application, it is recommended to adjust control bits LNA_MODE (R6_DB15) and MIXER_LINEARITY (R6_DB18), as outlined in Table 5.
The gain of the LNA is configured by the LNA_GAIN field, R9_DB[20:21], and can be set by either the user or the automatic gain control (AGC) logic.
IF Filter Settings/Calibration
Out-of-band interference is rejected by means of a fourth-order Butterworth polyphase IF filter centered around a frequency of 200 kHz. The bandwidth of the IF filter can be programmed between 100 kHz and 200 kHz by using Control Bits R1_DB[22:23] and should be chosen as a compromise between interference rejec-tion, attenuation of the desired signal, and the AFC pull-in range.
To compensate for manufacturing tolerances, the IF filter should be calibrated once after power-up. The IF filter calibration logic requires that the IF filter divider in Bits R6_DB[20:28] be set as dependent on the crystal frequency. Once initiated by setting Bit R6_DB19, the calibration is performed automatically without any user intervention. The calibration time is 200 μs, during which the ADF7020 should not be accessed. It is important not to initiate the calibration cycle before the crystal oscillator has fully settled. If the AGC loop is disabled, the gain of IF filter can be set to three levels using the FILTER_GAIN field, R9_DB[20:21]. The filter gain is adjusted automatically, if the AGC loop is enabled.

RSSI/AGC The RSSI is implemented as a successive compression log amp following the baseband channel filtering. The log amp achieves ±3 dB log linearity. It also doubles as a limiter to convert the signal-to-digital levels for the FSK demodulator. The RSSI itself is used for amplitude shift keying (ASK) demodulation. In ASK mode, extra digital filtering is performed on the RSSI value. Offset correction is achieved using a switched capacitor integrator in feedback around the log amp. This uses the baseband offset clock divide. The RSSI level is converted for user readback and digitally controlled AGC by an 80-level (7-bit) flash ADC. This level can be converted to input power in dBm.

RSSI Thresholds
When the RSSI is above AGC_HIGH_THRESHOLD, the gain is reduced. When the RSSI is below AGC_LOW_THRESHOLD, the gain is increased. A delay (AGC_DELAY) is programmed to allow for settling of the loop. The user programs the two threshold values (recommended defaults of 30 and 70) and the delay (default of 10). The default AGC setup values should be adequate for most applications. The threshold values must be chosen to be more than 30 apart for the AGC to operate correctly.
Offset Correction Clock
In Register 3, the user should set the BB offset clock divide bits R3_DB[4:5] to give an offset clock between 1 MHz and 2 MHz.
BBOS_CLK (Hz) = XTAL/(BBOS_CLK_DIVIDE)
where BBOS_CLK_DIVIDE can be set to 4, 8, or 16.
AGC Information and Timing
AGC is selected by default, and operates by selecting the appropriate LNA and filter gain settings for the measured RSSI level. It is possible to disable AGC by writing to Register 9 if entering one of the modes listed in Table 5 is desired, for example. The time for the AGC circuit to settle and, therefore, the time to take an accurate RSSI measurement is typically 150 μs, although this depends on how many gain settings the AGC circuit has to cycle through. After each gain change, the AGC loop waits for a programmed time to allow transients to settle.
This wait time can be adjusted to speed up this settling by adjusting the appropriate parameters.
XTALCLKSEQDELAYAGC
TIMEWAITAGC__
__
AGC Settling = AGC_WAIT_TIME × Number of Gain Changes
Thus, in the worst case, if the AGC loop has to go through all 5 gain changes, AGC_DELAY =10, SEQ_CLK = 200 kHz, AGC Settling = 10 × 5 μs × 5 = 250 μs. Minimum AGC_WAIT_TIME needs to be at least 25 μs.
RSSI Formula (Converting to dBm) INPUT_POWER [dBm] = −120 dBm + (READBACK_CODE + GAIN_MODE_CORRECTION) × 0.5
where: READBACK_CODE is given by Bit RV7 to Bit RV1 in the readback register (see the Readback Format section). GAIN_MODE_CORRECTION is given by the values in Table 6.
LNA gain and filter gain (LG2/LG1, FG2/FG1) are also obtained from the readback register.

FSK correlator/demodulator
Linear demodulator
Select these using the demodulator select bits, R4_DB[4:5].
FSK CORRELATOR/DEMODULATOR The quadrature outputs of the IF filter are first limited and then fed to a pair of digital frequency correlators that perform band-pass filtering of the binary FSK frequencies at (IF + fDEV) and (IF − fDEV). Data is recovered by comparing the output levels from each of the two correlators. The performance of this frequency discriminator approximates that of a matched filter detector, which is known to provide optimum detection in the presence of additive white Gaussian noise (AWGN).

Postdemodulator Filter
A second-order, digital low-pass filter removes excess noise from the demodulated bit stream at the output of the discriminator. The bandwidth of this postdemodulator filter is programmable and must be optimized for the user’s data rate. If the bandwidth is set too narrow, performance is degraded due to intersymbol interference (ISI). If the bandwidth is set too wide, excess noise degrades the receiver’s performance. Typically, the 3 dB bandwidth of this filter is set at approximately 0.75 times the user’s data rate, using Bits R4_DB[6:15].
Bit Slicer
The received data is recovered by the threshold detecting the output of the postdemodulator low-pass filter. In the correlator/ demodulator, the binary output signal levels of the frequency discriminator are always centered on 0. Therefore, the slicer threshold level can be fixed at 0, and the demodulator perform-ance is independent of the run-length constraints of the transmit data bit stream. This results in robust data recovery, which does not suffer from the classic baseline wander problems that exist in the more traditional FSK demodulators.
Frequency errors are removed by an internal AFC loop that measures the average IF frequency at the limiter output and applies a frequency correction value to the fractional-N synthesizer. This loop should be activated when the frequency errors are greater than approximately 40% of the transmit frequency deviation (see the AFC section).
Data Synchronizer
An oversampled digital PLL is used to resynchronize the received bit stream to a local clock. The oversampled clock rate of the PLL (CDR_CLK) must be set at 32 times the data rate. See the Register 3—Receiver Clock Register Comments section for a definition of how to program. The clock recovery PLL can accommodate frequency errors of up to ±2%.
FSK Correlator Register Settings
To enable the FSK correlator/demodulator, Bits R4_DB[5:4] should be set to 01. To achieve best performance, the bandwidth of the FSK correlator must be optimized for the specific deviation frequency that is used by the FSK transmitter.

This method of frequency demodulation is useful when very short preamble length is required, and the system protocol cannot support the overhead of the settling time of the internal feedback AFC loop settling.
A digital frequency discriminator provides an output signal that is linearly proportional to the frequency of the limiter outputs. The discriminator output is then filtered and averaged using a combined averaging filter and envelope detector. The demodu-lated FSK data is recovered by threshold-detecting the output of the averaging filter, (see Figure 31). In this mode, the slicer output shown in Figure 31 is routed to the data synchronizer PLL for clock synchronization. To enable the linear FSK demodulator, set Bits R4_DB[4:5] to 00.
The 3 dB bandwidth of the postdemodulation filter is set in the same way as the FSK correlator/demodulator, which is set in R4_DB[6:15] and is defined as

where fCUTOFF is the target 3 dB bandwidth in Hz of the postdemodulator filter. DEMOD_CLK is as defined in the Register 3—Receiver Clock Register section, second comment.
ASK/OOK Operation
ASK/OOK demodulation is activated by setting Bits R4_DB[4:5] to 10.
Digital filtering and envelope detecting the digitized RSSI input via MUX 1, as shown in Figure 31, performs ASK/OOK demodulation. The bandwidth of the digital filter must be optimized to remove any excess noise without causing ISI in the received ASK/OOK signal.
The 3 dB bandwidth of this filter is typically set at approximately 0.75 times the user data rate and is assigned by R4 _DB[6:15] as

where fCUTOFF is the target 3 dB bandwidth in Hz of the postdemodulator filter.
It is also recommended to adjust the peak response factor to 6 in Register 10 for robust operation over the full input range. This improves the receiver’s AM immunity performance.
AFC The ADF7020 supports a real-time AFC loop, which is used to remove frequency errors that can arise due to mismatches between the transmit and receive crystals. This uses the frequency discriminator block, as described in the Linear FSK Demodulator section (see Figure 31). The discriminator output is filtered and averaged to remove the FSK frequency modulation, using a combined averaging filter and envelope detector. In FSK mode, the output of the envelope detector provides an estimate of the average IF frequency.
Two methods of AFC, external and internal, are supported on the ADF7020 (in FSK mode only).
External AFC
The user reads back the frequency information through the ADF7020 serial port and applies a frequency correction value to the fractional-N synthesizer’s N divider.
The frequency information is obtained by reading the 16-bit signed AFC_READBACK, as described in the Readback Format section, and applying the following formula:
FREQ_RB [Hz] = (AFC_READBACK × DEMOD_CLK)/215
Note that while the AFC_READBACK value is a signed number, under normal operating conditions, it is positive. The frequency error can be calculated from
FREQ_ERROR [Hz] = FREQ_RB (Hz) − 200 kHz
Thus, in the absence of frequency errors, the FREQ_RB value is equal to the IF frequency of 200 kHz.
ADF7020 Data Sheet
Rev. E | Page 24 of 47
Internal AFC
The ADF7020 supports a real-time internal automatic frequency control loop. In this mode, an internal control loop automatically monitors the frequency error and adjusts the synthesizer N divider using an internal PI control loop.
The internal AFC control loop parameters are controlled in Register 11. The internal AFC loop is activated by setting R11_DB20 to 1. A scaling coefficient must also be entered, based on the crystal frequency in use. This is set up in Bits R11_DB[4:19] and should be calculated using
AFC_SCALING_COEFFICIENT = (500 × 224)/XTAL
Therefore, using a 10 MHz XTAL yields an AFC scaling coefficient of 839.
AFC Performance
The improved sensitivity performance of the Rx when AFC is enabled and in the presence of frequency errors is shown in Figure 18. The maximum AFC frequency range is ±50 kHz, which corresponds to ±58 ppm at 868 MHz. This is the total error tolerance allowed in the link. For example, in a point-to-point system, AFC can compensate for two ±29 ppm crystals or one ±50 ppm crystal and one ±8 ppm TCXO.
AFC settling typically takes 48 bits to settle within ±1 kHz. This can be improved by increasing the postdemodulator bandwidth in Register 4 at the expense of Rx sensitivity.
When AFC errors have been removed using either the internal or external AFC, further improvement in the receiver’s sensi-tivity can be obtained by reducing the IF filter bandwidth using Bits R1_DB[22:23].
AUTOMATIC SYNC WORD RECOGNITION The ADF7020 also supports automatic detection of the sync or ID fields. To activate this mode, the sync (or ID) word must be preprogrammed into the ADF7020. In receive mode, this preprogrammed word is compared to the received bit stream and, when a valid match is identified, the external pin INT/LOCK is asserted by the ADF7020.
This feature can be used to alert the microprocessor that a valid channel has been detected. It relaxes the computational require-ments of the microprocessor and reduces the overall power consumption. The INT/LOCK is automatically deasserted again after nine data clock cycles.
The automatic sync/ID word detection feature is enabled by selecting Demodulator Mode 2 or Demodulator Mode 3 in the demodulator setup register. Do this by setting Bits R4_DB[25:23] = 010 or 011. Bits R5_DB[4:5] are used to set the length of the sync/ID word, which can be 12, 16, 20, or 24 bits long. The transmitter must transmit the MSB of the sync byte first and the LSB last to ensure proper alignment in the receiver sync byte detection hardware.
For systems using forward error correction (FEC), an error tolerance parameter can also be programmed that accepts a valid match when up to three bits of the word are incorrect. The error tolerance value is assigned in Bits R5_DB[6:7].

APPLICATIONS INFORMATIONLNA/PA MATCHING The ADF7020 exhibits optimum performance in terms of sensitivity, transmit power, and current consumption only if its RF input and output ports are properly matched to the antenna impedance. For cost-sensitive applications, the ADF7020 is equipped with an internal Rx/Tx switch that facilitates the use of a simple combined passive PA/LNA matching network. Alternatively, an external Rx/Tx switch, such as the Analog Devices ADG919, can be used. It yields a slightly improved receiver sensitivity and lower transmitter power consumption.
External Rx/Tx Switch
Figure 32 shows a configuration using an external Rx/Tx switch. This configuration allows an independent optimization of the matching and filter network in the transmit and receive path and is, therefore, more flexible and less difficult to design than the configuration using the internal Rx/Tx switch. The PA is biased through Inductor L1, while C1 blocks dc current. Both elements, L1 and C1, also form the matching network, which transforms the source impedance into the optimum PA load impedance, ZOPT_PA.

ZOPT_PA depends on various factors, such as the required output power, the frequency range, the supply voltage range, and the temperature range. Selecting an appropriate ZOPT_PA helps to minimize the Tx current consumption in the application. Application Note AN-767 contains a number of ZOPT_PA values for representative conditions. Under certain conditions, however, it is recommended that a suitable ZOPT_PA value be obtained by means of a load-pull measurement.
Due to the differential LNA input, the LNA matching network must be designed to provide both a single-ended-to-differential conversion and a complex conjugate impedance match. The network with the lowest component count that can satisfy these requirements is the configuration shown in Figure 32, which consists of two capacitors and one inductor.
A first-order implementation of the matching network can be obtained by understanding the arrangement as two L type matching networks in a back-to-back configuration. Due to the asymmetry of the network with respect to ground, a compromise between the input reflection coefficient and the maximum differential signal swing at the LNA input must be established. The use of appropriate CAD software is strongly recommended for this optimization.
Depending on the antenna configuration, the user may need a harmonic filter at the PA output to satisfy the spurious emission requirement of the applicable government regulations. The harmonic filter can be implemented in various ways, such as a discrete LC pi or T-stage filter. Dielectric low-pass filter components, such as the LFL18924MTC1A052 (for operation in the 915 MHz and 868 MHz band) by Murata Manufacturing, Co., Ltd., represent an attractive alternative to discrete designs. Application Note AN-917 describes how to replace the Murata dielectric filter with an LC filter if desired.
The immunity of the ADF7020 to strong out-of-band interference can be improved by adding a band-pass filter in the Rx path. Apart from discrete designs, SAW or dielectric filter components, such as the SAFCH869MAM0T00 or SAFCH915MAL0N00, both by Murata, are well suited for this purpose. Alternatively, the ADF7020 blocking performance can be improved by selecting the high linearity mode, as described in Table 5.
Internal Rx/Tx Switch
Figure 33 shows the ADF7020 in a configuration where the internal Rx/Tx switch is used with a combined LNA/PA matching network. This is the configuration used in the EVAL-ADF7020DBZ1 through EVAL-ADF7020DBZ3 evaluation boards. For most applications, the slight performance degradation of 1 dB to 2 dB caused by the internal Rx/Tx switch is acceptable, allowing the user to take advantage of the cost saving potential of this solution. The design of the combined matching network must compensate for the reactance presented by the networks in the Tx and the Rx paths, taking the state of the Rx/Tx switch into consideration.

The procedure typically requires several iterations until an acceptable compromise is reached. The successful implementation of a combined LNA/PA matching network for the ADF7020 is critically dependent on the availability of an accurate electrical model for the PC board. In this context, the use of a suitable CAD package is strongly recommended. To avoid this effort, however, a small form-factor reference design for the ADF7020 is provided, including matching and harmonic filter components. Gerber files and schematics are available on the product page at: www.analog.com/ADF7020.
IMAGE REJECTION CALIBRATION The image channel in the ADF7020 is 400 kHz below the desired signal. The polyphase filter rejects this image with an asymmetric frequency response. The image rejection performance of the receiver is dependent on how well matched the I and Q signals are in amplitude, and how well matched the quadrature is between them (that is, how close to 90º apart they are.) The uncalibrated image rejection performance is approximately 30 dB. However, it is possible to improve this performance by as much as 20 dB by finding the optimum I/Q gain and phase adjust settings.
Calibration Procedure and Setup
The image rejection calibration works by connecting an external RF signal to the RF input port. The external RF signal should be set at the image frequency and the filter rejection measured by monitoring the digital RSSI readback. As the image rejection is improved by adjusting the I/Q Gain and phase, the RSSI reading reduces.
The magnitude of the phase adjust is set by using the IR_PHASE_ ADJUST bits (R10_DB[24:27]). This correction can be applied to either the I channel or Q channel, by toggling bit (R10_DB28).
The magnitude of the I/Q gain is adjusted by the IR_GAIN_ ADJUST bits (R10_DB[16:20]). This correction can be applied to either the I or Q channel using bit (R10_DB22), while the GAIN/ATTENUATE bit (R10_DB21) sets whether the gain adjustment defines a gain or attenuation adjust.
The calibration results are valid over changes in the ADF7020 supply voltage. However, there is some variation with temperature. A typical plot of variation in image rejection over temperature after initial calibrations at +25°C, −40°C, and +85°C is shown in Figure 34. The internal temperature sensor on the ADF7020 can be used to determine if a new IR calibration is required.

PREAMBLESYNCWORD

Figure 36. Typical Format of a Transmit Protocol
A dc-free preamble pattern is recommended for FSK/GFSK/ ASK/OOK demodulation. The recommended preamble pattern is a dc-balanced pattern such as a 10101010… sequence. Preamble patterns with longer run-length constraints such as 11001100… can also be used. However, this results in a longer synchronization time of the received bit stream in the receiver.
The remaining fields that follow the preamble header do not have to use dc-free coding. For these fields, the ADF7020 can accommodate coding schemes with a run-length of up to several bytes without any performance degradation, for example several bytes of 0x00 or 0xFF. To help minimize bit errors when receiving these long runs of continuous 0s or 1s, it is important to choose a data rate and XTAL combination that minimizes the error between the actual data rate and the on-board CDR_CLK/32. For example, if a 9.6 kbps data rate is desired, then using an 11.0592 MHz XTAL gives a 0% nominal error between the desired data rate and CDR_CLK/32. Application Note AN-915 gives more details on supporting long run lengths on the ADF7020.
The ADF7020 can also support Manchester-encoded data for the entire protocol. Manchester decoding needs to be done on the companion microcontroller, however. In this case, the ADF7020 should be set up at the Manchester chip or baud rate, which is twice the effective data rate.
DEVICE PROGRAMMING AFTER INITIAL POWER-UP Table 10 lists the minimum number of writes needed to set up the ADF7020 in either Tx or Rx mode after CE is brought high. Additional registers can also be written to tailor the part to a particular application, such as setting up sync byte detection or enabling AFC. When going from Tx to Rx or vice versa, the user needs to write only to the N Register to alter the LO by 200 kHz and to toggle the Tx/Rx bit.

POWER CONSUMPTION AND BATTERY LIFETIME CALCULATIONS Average Power Consumption can be calculated using
Average Power Consumption = (tON × IAVG_ON + tOFF × IPOWERDOWN)/(tON + tOFF)
Using a sequenced power-on routine like that illustrated in Figure 39 can reduce the IAVG_ON current and, hence, reduce the overall power consumption. When used in conjunction with a large duty-cycle or large tOFF, this can result in significantly increased battery life. Analog Devices, Inc., free design tool, ADIsimSRD Design Studio, can assist in these calculations.

SERIAL INTERFACE The serial interface allows the user to program the fourteen 32-bit registers using a 3-wire interface (SCLK, SDATA, and SLE). Signals should be CMOS compatible. The serial interface is powered by the regulator and, therefore, is inactive when CE is low.
Data is clocked into the register, MSB first, on the rising edge of each clock (SCLK). Data is transferred to one of fourteen latches on the rising edge of SLE. The destination latch is determined by the value of the four control bits (C4 to C1). These are the bottom four LSBs, DB3 to DB0, as shown in the timing diagram in Figure 3.
READBACK FORMAT The readback operation is initiated by writing a valid control word to the readback register and setting the readback enable bit (R7_DB8 = 1). The readback can begin after the control word has been latched with the SLE signal. SLE must be kept high while the data is being read out. Each active edge at the SCLK pin clocks the readback word out successively at the SREAD pin (see Figure 42), starting with the MSB first. The data appearing at the first clock cycle following the latch operation must be ignored. The last (eighteenth) SCLK edge puts the SREAD pin back in three-state.
AFC Readback
The AFC readback is valid only during the reception of FSK signals with either the linear or correlator demodulator active. The AFC readback value is formatted as a signed 16-bit integer comprising Bit RV1 to Bit RV16 and is scaled according to the following formula:
FREQ_RB [Hz] = (AFC_READBACK × DEMOD_CLK)/215
In the absence of frequency errors, the FREQ_RB value is equal to the IF frequency of 200 kHz. Note that, for the AFC readback to yield a valid result, the down-converted input signal must not fall outside the bandwidth of the analog IF filter. At low input signal levels, the variation in the readback value can be improved by averaging.
RSSI Readback
The RSSI readback operation yields valid results in Rx mode with ASK or FSK signals. The format of the readback word is shown in Figure 42. It comprises the RSSI level information (Bit RV1 to Bit RV7), the current filter gain (FG1, FG2), and the current LNA gain (LG1, LG2) setting. The filter and LNA gain are coded in accordance with the definitions in Register 9. With the reception of ASK modulated signals, averaging of the measured RSSI values improves accuracy. The input power can be calculated from the RSSI readback value as outlined in the RSSI/AGC section.
Battery Voltage/ADCIN/Temperature Sensor Readback
These three ADC readback values are valid by just enabling the ADC in Register 8 without writing to the other registers. The battery voltage is measured at Pin VDD4. The readback information is contained in Bit RV1 to Bit RV7. This also applies for the readback of the voltage at the ADCIN pin and the temperature sensor. From the readback information, the battery, ADCIN voltage or temperature can be obtained using
VBATTERY = (BATTERY_VOLTAGE_READBACK)/21.1
VADCIN = (ADCIN_VOLTAGE_READBACK)/42.1
Temperature = −40°C + (68.4 − TEMPERATURE_SENSOR_READBACK) × 9.32
Silicon Revision Readback
The silicon revision word is coded with four quartets in BCD format. The product code (PC) is coded with three quartets extending from Bit RV5 to Bit RV16. The revision code (RV) is coded with one quartet extending from Bit RV1 to Bit RV4. The product code for the ADF7020 should read back as PC = 0x200. The current revision code should read as RV = 0x8.
Filter Calibration Readback
The filter calibration readback word is contained in Bit RV1 to Bit RV8 and is for diagnostic purposes only. Using the automatic filter calibration function, accessible through Register 6, is recommended. Before filter calibration is initiated, decimal 32 should be read back as the default value.

Demodulator Mode 1, Demodulator Mode 3, Demodulator Mode 4, and Demodulator Mode 5 are modes that can be activated to allow the ADF7020 to demodulate data-encoding schemes that have run-length constraints greater than 7, when using the linear demodulator.
POSTDEMOD_BW = DEMOD_CLK

where the cutoff frequency (fCUTOFF) of the postdemodulator filter should typically be 0.75 times the data rate. For Mode 5, Timeout Delay to Lock Threshold = (LOCK_THRESHOLD_SETTING)/SEQ_CLK
where SEQ_CLK is defined in the Register 3—Receiver Clock Register section.

Figure 50. Register 5—Sync Byte Register
Register 5—Sync Byte Register Comments
Sync byte detect is enabled by programming Bits R4_DB[25:23] to 010 or 011. This register allows a 24-bit sync byte sequence to be stored internally. If the sync byte detect mode is selected, then the INT/LOCK
pin goes high when the sync byte is detected in Rx mode. Once the sync word detect signal goes high, it goes low again after nine data bits.
The transmitter must transmit the MSB of the sync byte first and the LSB last to ensure proper alignment in the receiver sync byte detection hardware.
Choose a sync byte pattern that has good autocorrelation properties, for example, 0x123456.

Register 6—Correlator/Demodulator Register Comments
See the FSK Correlator/Demodulator section for an example of how to determine register settings. Nonadherence to correlator programming guidelines results in poorer sensitivity. The filter clock is used to calibrate the IF filter. The filter clock divide ratio should be adjusted so that the frequency is 50 kHz. The
formula is XTAL/FILTER_CLOCK_DIVIDE. The filter should be calibrated only when the crystal oscillator is settled. The filter calibration is initiated every time Bit R6_DB19 is
set high. DISCRIMINATOR_BW = (DEMOD_CLK × K)/(800 × 103). See the FSK Correlator/Demodulator section. Maximum value = 600. When LNA mode = 1 (reduced gain mode), the Rx is prevented from selecting the highest LNA gain setting. This can be used when
linearity is a concern. See Table 5 for details of the different Rx modes.

Register 7—Readback Setup Register Comments
Readback of the measured RSSI value is valid only in Rx mode. To enable readback of the battery voltage, the temperature sensor, or the voltage at the external pin in Rx mode, AGC function in Register 9 must be disabled. To read back these parameters in Tx mode, the ADC must first be powered up using Register 8 because this is off by default in Tx mode to save power. This is the recommended method of using the battery readback function because most configurations typically require AGC.
Readback of the AFC word is valid in Rx mode only if either the linear demodulator or the correlator/demodulator is active. See the Readback Format section for more information.

This register does not need to be written to in normal operation. The default test mode is 0x0000 000C, which puts the part in normal operation.
Using the Test DAC on the ADF7020 to Implement Analog FM Demodulation and Measuring of SNR
The test DAC allows the output of the postdemodulator filter for both the linear and correlator/demodulators (see Figure 30 and Figure 31) to be viewed externally. It takes the 16-bit filter output and converts it to a high frequency, single-bit output using a second-order Σ-Δ converter. The output can be viewed on the CLKOUT pin. This signal, when filtered appropriately, can then be used to
Monitor the signals at the FSK/ASK postdemodulator filter output. This allows the demodulator output SNR to be measured. Eye diagrams can also be constructed of the received bit stream to measure the received signal quality.
Provide analog FM demodulation.
While the correlators and filters are clocked by DEMOD_CLK, CDR_CLK clocks the test DAC. Note that although the test DAC functions in a regular user mode, the best performance is achieved when the CDR_CLK is increased up to or above the frequency of DEMOD_CLK. The CDR block does not function when this condition exists.
Programming the test register, Register 12, enables the test DAC. In correlator mode, this can be done by writing to Digital Test Mode 7 or 0x0001C00C.
To view the test DAC output when using the linear demodu-lator, the user must remove a fixed offset term from the signal using Register 13. This offset is nominally equal to the IF frequency. The user can determine the value to program by using the frequency error readback to determine the actual IF and then programming half this value into the offset removal field. It also has a signal gain term to allow the usage of the maximum dynamic range of the DAC.
Setting Up the Test DAC
Digital test modes = 7: enables the test DAC, with no offset removal (0x0001 C00C).
Digital test modes = 10: enables the test DAC, with offset removal (needed for linear demodulation only, 0x02 800C).
The output of the active demodulator drives the DAC, that is, if the FSK correlator/demodulator is selected, the correlator filter output drives the DAC.
The evaluation boards for the ADF7020 contain land patterns for placement of an RC filter on the CLKOUT line. This is typically designed so that the cut-off frequency of the filter is above the demodulated data rate.

Register 13—Offset Removal and Signal Gain Register Comments
Because the linear demodulator’s output is proportional to frequency, it usually consists of an offset combined with a relatively low signal. The offset can be removed, up to a maximum of 1.0, and gained to use the full dynamic range of the DAC: DAC_INPUT = (2TEST_DAC_GAIN) × (Signal − TEST_DAC_OFFSET_REMOVAL/4096)
Ki (default) = 3. Kp (default) = 2.
