Protocol Examples for the ISM Frequency Bands 1 Protocol Examples for the ISM Frequency Bands In general the RF protocol is always a compromise in terms of sensitivity, current consumption, data throughput, jammer immunity and regional legislative restrictions. The given protocol examples are typical compromises of the above mentioned parameters but of course can always be optimized towards a certain parameter. 1.1 Legislative Restriction The USA patterns are defined to fulfill the FCC Part 15 requirements and take advantage out of the Duty Cycle Correction Factor. The Duty Cycle (FCC15.35) which is mentioned is related to Carrier ON time within a 100ms time slot. For more details refer to the Application Note on our Web side: (Download App Note) This Duty Cycle Correction Factor allows the transmitter counterpart of the TDA523x receiver to send with higher output power then initially defined. In the equation below the calculation of the correction factor is depicted. K E TX time on in a 100ms window = 20log ( db) 100ms The European equivalent to the FCC is called ETSI. This regulation framework allows in the 434MHz band (433,05-434,79MHz) an output power of 10mW if the transmitter has an ON/OFF Duty Cycle below 10% otherwise the output power is limited to 1mW. 1.2 Jammer Immunity The immunity against jammers can be improved by several methods. The best method to achieve excellent immunity performance is the multi-channel concept. The TDA523x receiver is able to handle this challenge in a very elegant way. The receiver scans several Radio Frequency (RF) channels and processes the data without the need of a microcontroller. If a jammer appears on one of the channels the communication is possible on the other remaining channels. In principle can be stated that the modulation technique has also a contribution to the receiver immunity performance. It can be stated that for limiter based receiver systems, Frequency Shift Keying (FSK) has a higher interferer immunity compared to OOK (On/Off Keying == ASK with 100% modulation index). During the OFF period of the signal the interferer can be directly seen on the Receive Signal Strength Indicator (RSSI) voltage. In FSK the signal is always present and the Interferer will be suppressed to a certain extend by the limiter effect. 1.3 Current Consumption All protocols are designed with a Wake up Pattern (WUP), SYNC Pattern, Telegram Start Identifier (TSI) and Payload Data. The most important part to reduce the average current consumption on the receiver side is the WUP frame, which allows the receiver to perform a polling strategy. Polling means that the TDA523x receiver changing from active mode (RXRUN Mode) to sleep mode within a specified time period. This polling strategy allows the receiver to reduce the active time significantly and of course the average current consumption. The TDA523x receiver is able to handle this polling method by itself (autonomous receiver) and just alerts the microcontroller by an Interrupt if the appropriate WUP and TSI Pattern were found. This very important feature of the TDA523x receiver family reduces the overall system current consumption because the microcontroller will sleep most of the time and is just interrupted if a valid packed was received.

Tools 2 Tools To get the defined protocols properly running, Infineon provides a toolset which helps the developer to verify his work and that the receiver is correctly configured. The provided Quick Start guide will give more details and also the steps to get the below just mentioned tools running. (Download Quick start guide) 2.1 IAF Tool and Protocol Examples The pre-defined pattern of the protocol examples are all implemented in the so called IAF-Tool (Integrated Application Framework) which is a GUI describing all registers of the TDA523x receiver in a way that is easy to understand (Download IAF tool). For all of the protocol examples described below a workspace and project within the IAF tool is available for download. (Download Protocol Example Zip File) The given protocol examples can be used as they are or to ease up your development as starting point for your customizations. 2.2 Polling Strategy Excel Sheet The above mentioned polling strategy is also described in an Excel sheet which automatically calculates the required ON and OFF timings for the given protocol. Infineon also provides this Excel sheet, worked out for all ISM pattern on our web side. (Download Protocol Example Zip File) 2.3 TDA523x Explorer Software For working with our evaluation boards, the configurations that are built within the IAF tool can be downloaded to the receiver by the TDA523x explorer software. (Download TDA523x Explorer Software) This tool provides also some basic functionality to read out the FIFO or react on the occurrence of an interrupt. (read out FIFO automatically or read interrupt status register.) 2.4 Download Information If there should be any problem by using the download links in this document, please go to www.infineon.com/receiver and download the latest documentation and tools by clicking on the TDA5230 or TDA5231 download section respectively. 3 10 Steps to get it running 1.
