    Demoboard Description General Description With the AS3933 Demoboard it is possible to demonstrate the chip’s features as described in the AS3933 datasheet. The 125kHz Wake-up Transmitter Board is included to offer the user a complete system for evaluation purposes. This application note describes the operation of the two boards and gives details on the hardware and software implemented in the demokit.

    Serial Digital Interface Output Ground (0V) Note: When the AS3933 Demoboard is connected to the GUI it is necessary to RESET the device by turning the AS3933 off and on via switch C. Another possibility to prepare the Demoboard for USB connection is to press buttons A and B simultaneously before connecting the USB cable.

    AS3933-AN01 Demoboard Description Figure 7: Indication LEDs/ Buzzer LEDs Color Info Buzzer The buzzer signals whenever a wake-up pattern is transmitted. This feature makes range measurements easier. The buzzer can be disabled via the GUI. STANDBY Transmitter is on stand-by. No wake-up pattern is sent.

    Preset Default. All configurations that are set by the GUI correspond to the Register Map of the AS3933. The Register Map can be viewed via View/Register Map (Ctrl+M). All registers can be updated manually via File/Readout Registers (Ctrl+R) or the update of the registers is done automatically via File/Automatic Update (Ctrl+U).

    The RC oscillator can be calibrated via the microcontroller or the LC antenna. 5.2.5 Antenna Damper The antenna can be damped in order to limit the range. Therefore a resistor inside the AS3933 is switched into parallel to the antenna. The value of the resistor can be selected between 1kΩ to 27kΩ.

    Enable Correlator: If the Correlator is enabled the chip searches first for the preamble bits and then for data pattern (Manchester encoded wake-up pattern). Should the pattern correlation be disabled, the AS3933 goes directly into the data receiving mode. •...

    The internal capacitor bank can be changed on each channel between 0pF and 32pF in order to tune the antenna to the desired resonance frequency. The AS3933 Demoboard provides a switch to tune the antenna automatically to 125 kHz. The internal capacitor bank is changed until the resonance frequency of 125 kHz is achieved.

    5.3.5 Wakeup Pattern (Manchester) The wake-up pattern transmitted by the transmitter board must correlate to the wake-up pattern expected by the AS3933 Demoboard for successful wake-up generation. For more details on the wake-up pattern see section 5.2.12. 5.3.6 Manchester Pattern Length Please see description above in section 5.2.13.
