    XTAL Notes: [1]. The CMT2310A can utilize external reference clock to directly drive XIN pin through the coupling capacitor. The peak-to-peak value of external clock signal is required between 0.3 and 0.7 V. [2]. It involves: (1) initial tolerance, (2) crystal loading, (3) aging, and (4) temperature changing. The acceptable crystal frequency tolerance is subject to the bandwidth of the receiver and the RF tolerance between the receiver and its paired transmitter.

    CMT2310A 4 Function Description The CMT2310A is a high integrated mixed-signal transceiver, which employs a 32 MHz crystal to provide PLL reference frequency and digital clock with supporting of OOK, 2-(G)FSK, 4 (G)FSK modulation/demodulation as well as Direct and Packet Data processing modes.
  • Page 19: Transmitter

    4.3.1 Power-On Reset (POR) The power-on reset circuit detects the change of the VDD power supply and generate reset signal to reset the entire CMT2310A system. After the POR, the MCU must go through initialization process and re-configure the CMT2310A. There are two situations that will lead to the generation of POR.
  • Page 20: Crystal Oscillator

    Cpar is the parasitic capacitor connected at both ends of the crystal to ground with a value of about 2 ~6pF. A crystal oscillator of 15 pF is recommended to collaborate with CMT2310A. Besides, the less the ppm value of the crystal, the better the performance of the receiver.
  • Page 21: Temperature Compensated Crystal Oscillator (Tcxo)

    Applying TCXO will approximately cause a increase of the overall current by 1.5 ~2.0 mA. The more precise clock (< 2 ppm) enables the CMT2310A to attain higher sensitivity and better capability against out-of-band interference while operating in a narrower receiving bandwidth.
  • Page 22: Received Signal Strength Indicator(Rssi)

    Normally the frequency variance between the TX and RX is caused by the frequency variance of the crystal oscillators used in the both sides. The CMT2310A allows users to fill in the crystal tolerance value (in PPM) of TX and RX on RFPDK. Based on the crystal tolerance value, the RFPDK configures the AFC detecting range meanwhile trying to minimize the bandwidth used by the receiver.

    The CMT2310A provides three types of CDR systems as follows. COUNTING system - The system is designed according to the case of relatively accurate symbol rate.If the symbol rate is 100% aligned, the unlimited length of 0 can be received continuously without error.

    As shown in the above figure, please notice the dot line in the middle, here strongly suggest that the MCU switches the IO to input mode before sending out the falling edge of the SCLK; as for CMT2310A, it should switch the IO to output mode after it has gotten the falling edge of the SCLK.
  • Page 26: Fifo

    5.2 FIFO The CMT2310A provides two separated 128-byte FIFO by default. They are used for RX and TX respectively. RX FIFO is used to store received data in Rx mode while TX FIFO is used to store data to be transmitted in Tx mode. Users can also set FIFO_MARGE_EN to 1 to merge the two separated FIFO into one 256-byte FIFO, which is used both in TX and RX mode.
  • Page 27: Fifo Read Operation

    CMT2310A 5.2.1 FIFO Read Operation To access FIFO, the MCU should first configure a few registers to set up the FIFO read/write mode, as well as some other operating modes. As shown in the figure below, it is the read and write timing in determined operating mode. FIFO operation is triggered by writing into address 0x7A in Page 0, it will trigger write operation when r/w bit is 0 and trigger read operation when r/w bit is 1.
