1 Introduction The TMS3637 is a versatile 3-V to 6-V remote control transmitter/receiver in a small package that requires no external dual-in-line package (DIP) switches on the system circuit board. The device can be easily set for one of many transmit/receive configurations using configuration codes along with the desired security code, both of which are user programmable.

Terminal Functions TERMINAL DESCRIPTION DESCRIPTION NAME Capacitor external. CEX is used for gain control of the internal analog amplifier. An external capacitor connected from CEX to GND determines the gain of the amplifier. If the internal amplifier is set for unity gain or the device is not used as a receiver, CEX is left unconnected. Ground Depending on the device configuration, IN provides inverted OUT data, is used as a receiver input, or is used to enter data during programming.

5 Principles of Operation Power-On Reset The power-on reset function starts when V rises above 2.7 V and is completed after four clock periods. After power-on reset, the nine configuration bits contained in the EEPROM memory are loaded into the logic circuits, which determine the device mode and configuration of operation.

Internal Oscillator Operation for Transmit and Receive Modes Setting Frequency The TMS3637 has an internal oscillator that can be used in either the transmit or receive configurations of the device. The oscillator free-running frequency (f ) is controlled by an external resistor and capacitor and is determined by: = 5 / (4 ×...
Internal Amplifier/Comparator, Description and Gain Setting The TMS3637 has an internal amplifier that is designed to amplify received signals up to logic levels. In addition, a comparator is cascaded with the amplifier to provide wave shaping of received signals. The comparator also inverts the signal.
TIME, where it can be sampled for evaluation purposes. Mode and Configuration Overview The TMS3637 device is designed to function in many modes and configurations. The device has five primary modes of operation as shown in Table 5–1.

Transmitter Configurations Of the total 31 data bits that are stored by the TMS3637, the last nine (CA through CI) configure the device in one of 18 possible transmitter configurations. The device can run continuous, triggered, or periodic in transmission. In addition, each of these functions can have a single, pulse, or train output in both normal and modulated configurations.
(CA = 1, CF = CG = CH = 0, and CC = 0, CI = 1), or as a periodic transmitter (CA = 1, CF = CG = CH = 0, and CC = 0, CI = 0), and EEPROM bit CB is set to 1, the TMS3637 operates as a normal transmitter and emits the stored code on OUT (the open drain requires a pullup resistor).
Figure 5–6. Transmitter Configurations 5.11 Receiver Configurations As with the transmitter configurations, the TMS3637 uses the last nine bits of the 31 data bits stored in memory to program the device for a multitude of receiver configurations (48 possible configurations). The configuration must match the transmitter when selecting the receiver configuration (see Table 5–6 to...
Train Receiver (CG = 1, CH = 1, CD, CE) When the TMS3637 is configured as a receiver (CA = CC = 0) and EEPROM bits CG and CH are both set to 1, the device is configured as a train receiver. Bits CB, CF, and CI must also be set to specify modulated or normal modes, analog or logic (for normal mode only), and noninverting or inverting format.
Q-State Receiver (CG = 0, CH = 0, CD, CE) When the TMS3637 is configured as a receiver (CA = CC = 0) and EEPROM bits CG and CH are both cleared to 0, the device is configured as a Q-state receiver. Bits CB, CF, and CI must also be set to specify modulated or normal modes, analog or logic (for normal mode only), and noninverting or inverting format of the output code.
The code input to IN is internally inverted before passing to the logic circuitry. NOTE: Do not use the TMS3637 in the log inverting modes CA = 0, CC = 0, CF = 0, or CI = 1. The amplifier sensitivity is degraded in these modes.
In this section an example schematic is shown for each of the four transmission media categories for which the device can be configured. These schematics help to define the capabilities of the TMS3637. When configured for infrared, one transmitter works for both normal and modulated modes. In addition, a recommended programming station is shown.

RF Receiver and Decoder Table 6–7 lists the parts for the schematic shown in Figure 6–8. Figure 6–8 shows a Texas Instruments TRF1400 RF receiver and a Texas Instruments TMS3637 receiver connected as an RF receiver and decoder combination. Table 6–7 lists the components that comprise this circuit. As with any RF design, the successful integration of these two devices relies heavily on the board layout and the quality of the external components.
Due to the momentary switch being pressed, the S-R latch output is high on the shift-register shift enable, allowing the registers to shift out the 35 bits of data to the code input of the TMS3637. The TMS3637 is clocked synchronously with this data on OSCR.

SW5 when closed resets the device TMS3637 Connector Pinout TI recommends a ZIF socket to be used at location U14 for ease of programming the TMS3637. For TMS3637P (DIP) packages, a 16-pin ZIF can be used (lower portion unused). For TMS3637N surface-mount packages, use a clamshell with a latch cover and DIP footprint.
