  • Page 3: Rf Input Matching

    RF Input Matching The matching network achieves high receiving sensitivity performance through the impedance matching between the antenna and chip RF input. The LNA of the CMOSTEK NextGenRF CMT2218B/2219B is a differential port, using L1 and BALUN network (L2, C2, L3 and C3) to achieve the impedance matching between the single-ended antenna and differential LNA. In general, a parallel resonant filter network composed of L4 and C4 along with the input end of antenna can filter out the interference to the receiver caused by complex electromagnetic environment.

Only applications of CMT2218B require the pull up resistor R1 on SDIO port. In practical applications, due to factors such as product structure and physical space, the resistance of a user antenna is often not 50 Ω.

  • Page 6: Crystal Circuit Design

    This refers to all frequency accuracy tolerances, including (1) initial tolerance (2) crystal loading tolerance (3) aging tolerance and (4) temperature variation tolerance. The acceptable crystal tolerance depends on factors such as RF frequency, channel spacing, bandwidth settings. [3]. This parameter is related much to the crystal used.

    CMT2218B needs an external pull-up resistor, however it's not needed in the CMT2219B. Please use the programming tool provided by CMOSTEK to configure the CMT2218B. The CMT2219B provides a 4-wire series port mechanism using CSB, FCSB, SCLK and SDIO. Please be noted that PIN12 is FCSB pin in CMT2219B, however it is unused NC pin in CMT2218B.

    The GPIO1 pin of CMT2218B is fixed as Data Out output, the GPIO2 pin is fixed as Rx Active output and the GPIO3 pin output type is configurable. Please refer to CMOSTEK RFPDK for more details. Moreover, please be noted the following wiring considerations.

    CSB, SCLK, SDIO, VDD and GND should be reserved in users' applications to support the functions described below. When using CMT2218B, reserve test points of CSB, SCLK, SDIO, VDD, GND to accomplish the following two functions. 1. Update the chip's function via programming during production. 2. Read and get the chip configuration. Rev 0.8 | 9/12 www.cmostek.com...
