Analog Front End IC TMS37122 - Reference Guide August ’01 Circuit Description The 3D-Analog Front End (AFE) circuit TMS37122 is a low voltage, low current interface circuit for microcomputer controlled Automotive Keyless Entry Systems. With few external components it provides a 120 to 140 kHz inductive Low Frequency Channel for high-speed data transfer to a microcomputer or other control circuits.

August ’01 Chapter 1. Product Description Typically the device is supplied by a 3 V Lithium-battery. A built-in voltage regulator allows a battery charge of appropriate battery types or a battery back-up function. In back-up function it is possible to transmit data back to the base station via one of the low frequency channels without using the UHF Transmitter.

August ’01 Chapter 2. Electrical Description Power Supply 2.2.1 VBAT Supply Most parts of the 3D-AFE are supplied via VBAT input. Typically a 3 V Lithium Battery is used but also the use of rechargeable batteries is possible. Directly at the TMS37122 input a Buffer Capacitor (Cbat) should be provided with short connections to VBAT and GND pin.
Analog Front End IC TMS37122 - Reference Guide August ’01 In case of very high field strength VCL decreases due to IC characteristic in the very near distance range. To keep the maximum VCL it is recommended to connect a Schottky diode (e.g.
Analog Front End IC TMS37122 - Reference Guide August ’01 The available voltage range depends on the voltage VCL, which can be charged into CL during extended Wake-up Time and the minimum required supply voltage for the oscillation maintenance circuit (Continuous Pluck Circuit). For proper function with minimum 3 V should be calculated.

August ’01 Chapter 2. Electrical Description Limiter Circuits The TMS37122 has separate Limiter Circuits at the RF inputs, which prevents the high volt- age parts of the circuit from overload (see Figure 10). The circuit limits the positive half-wave with respect to ground. The negative half-wave is clamped to ground by the Rectifier Diode. The peak-to-peak amplitude is therefore approximately two times the VCL voltage.
Analog Front End IC TMS37122 - Reference Guide August ’01 Wake Detector Wake Detector 1…3, which are enabled by the Configuration Memory, are activated by the Control Unit when WDEEN is activated. The first stage of the Wake Detector is an Automatic Gain Control (AGC) Amplifier, which is initially at maximum amplification (see Figure 11).
August ’01 Chapter 2. Electrical Description End-of-burst Detector The Base Station transmits after a low frequency (LF) Wake burst data to the Identification Device by means of 100% amplitude modulation (see Figure 12). At the resonant circuit of the Identification Device this results in LF bursts and LF burst pauses or at least LF amplitude drops depending on the duration of transmitted burst pause and the quality factor of the in- volved resonant circuits.
Analog Front End IC TMS37122 - Reference Guide August ’01 currence of WAKEI for maximum 17 EOBI pulses. At each negative transition of EOBI a 7- bit counter is reset and starts to count the regenerated RF clock (CLKI). If the counter reaches the Pulse Position Modulation (PPM) threshold before the next negative transition, the counter is stopped and a high bit is shifted in a compare shift register with this transition.

VWAKEB is typically configured higher than VWAKEA so that an Identification Device outside the car will not reach this RF level. It will enter the Telegram Waiting loop (tTelegr) and then return to Standby Mode (see Figure 17).
Analog Front End IC TMS37122 - Reference Guide August ’01 The LF Transmission Mode can also be entered directly from the OFF Mode. For this purpose the TX input must be set to high before the WDEEN is set. Releasing TX while WDEEN = high will switch to Transparent Mode.

CHAPTER 3 Application Passive Entry Function The standard application of 3D-AFE is the Passive (Keyless) Entry function. The car driver approaches the car and triggers the Base Station by pulling the door handle or by another trig- ger mechanism. The Base Station transmits the Passive Entry (PE) Wake Pattern, a Command and a Challenge using typically an outdoor Antenna, for example in the outside mirror.
