Description
The Atmel
®
ATA5756/ATA5757 is a PLL transmitter IC which has been developed for the demands of RF low-cost
transmission systems at data rates up to 20kBaud Manchester coding and 40kBaud NRZ coding. The transmitting frequency
range is 313MHz to 317MHz (Atmel ATA5756) and 432MHz to 448MHz (Atmel ATA5757), respectively. It can be used in
both FSK and ASK systems. Due to its shorten crystal oscillator settling time it is well suited for Tire Pressure Monitoring
(TPM) and for Passive Entry Go applications.

ATA5756/ATA5757. Thus, a 13.125MHz/13.56MHz
crystal is needed for a 315MHz/433.92MHz transmitter. All other PLL and VCO peripheral elements are integrated.
The XTO is a series resonance (current mode) oscillator. Only one capacitor and a crystal connected in series to GND are
needed as external elements in an ASK system. The internal FSK switch, together with a second capacitor, can be used for
FSK modulation. The crystal oscillator needs typically 0.6 ms until the CLK output is activated if a crystal as defined in the
electrical characteristics is used (e.g., TPM crystal). For most crystals used in RKE systems, a shorter time will result.
The CLK output is switched on if the amplitude of the current flowing through the crystal has reached 35% to 80% of its final
value. This is synchronized with the 1.64/1.69MHz CLK output. As a result, the first period of the CLK output is always a full
period. The PLL is then locked <250µs after CLK output activation. This means an additional wait time of
≥
250µs is
necessary before the PA can be switched on and the data transmission can start. This results in a significantly lower time of
about 0.85ms between enabling the Atmel ATA5756/ATA5757 and the beginning of the data transmission which saves
battery power especially in tire pressure monitoring systems.
The power amplifier is an open-collector output delivering a current pulse which is nearly independent from the load
impedance and can therefore be controlled via the connected load impedance.
This output configuration enables a simple matching to any kind of antenna or to 50Ω. A high power efficiency for the power
amplifier results if an optimized load impedance of Z
Load, opt
= 380Ω + j340Ω (Atmel ATA5756) at 315MHz and
Z
Load, opt
= 280Ω + j310Ω (Atmel ATA5757) at 433.92MHz is used at the 3-V supply voltage.
