ATAB5749 [APPLICATION NOTE]

9138B–AUTO–07/15

FSK Shift:

 the frequency deviation of the FSK modulation can be set with this menu by determining the value of the 

FSEP register. 

Output Power:

 this menus sets the transmit power of the IC for 50

 matching. The value can be programmed from 

–0.5dBm to 12.5dBm in 1dB step. The 

green check mark

 in the drop down menu shows the default setting of the 

demo board, the 12.5dBm transmit power output at 50

 matching. The matching of the loop antenna is optimized for 

the 12.5dBm transmit power. The power setting can be programmed as described in the datasheet with the constraint 
that the default matching of the loop antenna would not be the optimum matching for other power setting. The power 
setting with the suboptimal matching due to the default matching is marked with the 

yellow check mark

. The 

red cross

 

in the drop down menu shows the values that are not allowed.

Clock Only Mode:

 in this menu “Clock Only Mode” or “Normal Mode” can be chosen. With Clock Only Mode, the 

ATA5749 generates a clock signal based on the crystal frequency for the microcontroller and no transmission will be 
performed. 

CLK Output:

 this menu sets the clock output frequency (f

CLK

) of the ATA5749 based on the crystal frequency (f

XTO

). 

ATA5749 is able to generate two different clock frequencies, the f

XTO/8

 or f

XTO/4

. As the crystal frequency of the 

ATAB5749 is 13.0MHz, a 3.25MHz or 1.625MHz clock frequency can be generated.

Clock On:

 this menu allows the user to switch on and off the clock output of the ATA5749. Under normal operation of 

the ATAB5749, the clock output of the transmitter must be always switched on because the data generated by the 
microprocessor is derived from this clock frequency. Only during the transmitting of the continuous carrier, can the 
clock frequency can be negligible. 

Figure 2-9

 shows the warning displayed by the software if the clock output must be 

deactivated.
