FREQUENCY SELECTION

The frequency selection and power down control is

accomplished via two digital control pins PDN1 and

PDN2. The control logic is presented in table 1.

The internal antenna tuning capacitor switches

(RFI2, RFI3) and crystal filter output switches (QO1,

QO2, QO3) are controlled according table 1.

If frequency 1 is selected the RFI2 and RFI3

switches are open and only crystal output QO1 is

active. Antenna frequency is determined by antenna

related to antenna inputs RFIP, RFIM, RFI2 and

RFI3 (see Antenna Tuning Considerations below).

Frequency 1 is the highest frequency of the three

selected frequencies.

If frequency 2 is selected then RFI2 switch is closed

antenna and tune it to frequency 2. Then only

crystal output QO2 is active. Frequency 2 is the

medium

frequency

of

the

three

selected

frequencies.

If frequency 3 is selected both RFI2 and RFI3

capacitors to RFIM pin in parallel with ferrite

antenna and tune it to frequency 3. Then only

crystal output QO3 is active. Frequency 3 is the

lowest frequency of the three selected frequencies.

It is recommended to switch the device to power

down for at least 50ms before switching to another

frequency. This guarantees fast startup in switching

to another frequency. During minimum 50ms power

down time the AGC capacitor voltage is completely

pulled to VDD and the proper fast startup conditions

are met. Without proper fast startup control the

startup time can be several minutes. With fast

startup it is shortened typically to few seconds.
