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 Sampling Frequency The internal oscillator of the transmitter or receiver can be externally sampled at OSCC and OSCR. The waveform at OSCC is triangular and the waveform at OSCR is square. The amplitude of these waveforms depends on the capacitor and resistor values used.

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.
5.10.1 Normal Mode (CB = 1) When the chip is configured as a continuous transmitter (CA = 1, CF = CG = CH = 0, and CC = 1), as a triggered transmitter (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).

further increases the security of the device by not recognizing the correct received code until it is repeated two, four, or eight times within a period of time specified by an external RC combination described in the following paragraphs. When the TMS3637 is configured as a train receiver, connect an external resistor and capacitor in parallel between TIME and V , which sets the length of time the device searches for two, four, or eight correct received codes.
5.12.4 Logic Mode (CF = 1) In this configuration, the received code is at logic level. The analog amplifier and comparator connected internally to IN is bypassed. This is typically the configuration used when the transmitter and receiver are connected together by a hard line. 5.12.5 Noninverting Mode (CI = 0) or Inverting Mode (CI = 1) The code input to IN is not inverted before passing to the logic circuitry.
6 Application Information General Applications 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.

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. This can be purchased from EmMulation Technology (408-982-0660) part # AS-0808-015-3.
