The gain changes in the next CHIP_CLK period.
An evaluation phase and a level adjustment take 2
CHIP_CLK periods. ALC operation is enabled only during
the first 16 CHIP_CLK cycles after a hard or soft reset or
after going into transmit mode.

Remark:
Transmitter Output TX_OUT
The transmitter output is DC coupled to the TX_OUT pin.
Because the complete analog part of NCN49597 is
referenced to the analogue ground REF_OUT, a decoupling
capacitor C
is needed when connecting NCN49597 to

Receiver Path Description

Receiver Block Diagram
The receiver takes in the analog signal from the line
coupler, conditions it and demodulates it in a data−stream to
the communication controller. The operation mode and the
baud rate are made according to the setting in R_CONF,
R_FS and R_FM. The receive signal is applied first to a high
pass filter. Therefore NCN49597 has a low noise operational
amplifier at the input stage which can be used to make a high

The automatic level control can be disabled by setting
register R_ALC_CTRL[3] = 1. In this case the transmitter
output level is fixed to the programmed level in the register

the second and third order harmonic of the generated S−FSK

in an automatic gain control loop. This block also performs
