Power Amplifier

The PLL output feeds the power amplifier (PA). The

open-collector differential output (ANT1, ANT2) can be

used to drive a loop antenna directly or converted to

single-ended output via an impenance matching net-

work or balanced-to-unbalanced (balun) transformer.

Pins ANT1 and ANT2 are open-collector outputs and

must be pulled-up to VDDRF through the load.

The differential output of the PA should be matched to

an impedance of 1 k

Ω. Failure to match the impedance

will cause excessive spurious and harmonic emissions.

The transmit output power can be adjusted in six dis-

crete steps from +2 dBm to -12 dBm by varying the volt-

age (VPS) at the PS/DATAASK pin. Figure 7-6 shows an

example voltage divider network for ASK operation and

Figure 7-7 for FSK operation.

For FSK operation, the PS/DATAASK pin only serves as

a Power Select (PS) pin. An internal 20

µA current

source pushes current through the PS/DATAASK pin

resulting in a voltage drop across resistor R2 at the VPS

level selected for transmitter output power. VPS selects

the PA bias current. Higher transmit power will draw

higher current.

For ASK operation, the function of the PS/DATAASK pin

is to turn the Power Amplifier (PA) on and off. Resistors

R1 and R2 form a voltage divider network to apply volt-

age VPS for the selected transmitter output power. If

maximum transmitter output is desired, the output of a

GP0 pin can be connected directly to PS/DATAASK.

Table 7-5 lists typical values for R1 and R2 for both the

ASK and FSK modes.

Note 1: Standard Operating Conditions (unless otherwise stated) TA = 25°C, RFEN =1,

VDDRF =3V, fTRANSMIT = 433.92 MHz

2: VPS is actual voltage on PS/DATAASK pin.

3: The Power Select circuitry contains an internal 20

µA current source. To ensure that the transmitter output

power is at the minimum when transmitting a DATAASK =0(VSSRF), select the value of resistor R2 such

that the voltage drop across it is less than 0.1 volts.
