General Description

The TH71101 receiver IC consists of the following building blocks

◾ PLL synthesizer (PLL SYNTH) for generation of the local oscillator signal LO

◾ Parts of the PLL SYNTH are the high-frequency VCO1, the feedback divider DIV_16, a phase-frequency detector (PFD) with charge pump (CP) and a crystal-based reference oscillator (RO)

◾ Low-noise amplifier (LNA) for high-sensitivity RF signal reception

◾ First mixer (MIX1) for down-conversion of the RF signal to the IF

◾ IF pre amplifier which is a mixer cell (MIX2) that operates as an amplifier

◾ IF amplifier (IFA) to amplify and limit the IF signal and for RSSI generation

◾ Phase coincidence demodulator (DEMOD) with third mixer (MIX3) to demodulate the IF signal

◾ Operational amplifier (OA) for data slicing, filtering and ASK detection

◾ Bias circuitry for bandgap biasing and circuit shutdown

Features
