2.  Evaluation board schematic

The schematic of the evaluation board is shown in 

Figure 1

.

The 125 kHz transponder antenna of the PCF7941 and the three switches are not 
mounted.

The transmitter section of the board is isolated by removing the following six jumpers: 
TX_SUPPLY, EN, SCK, SDIO, CKOUT, SDO. The jumpers allow the following:

evaluation of the onboard OL2300 IC in combination with another µC

monitoring of the SPI connection

current measurements

The crystal which is connected to the oscillator pins of OL2300 is an NDK NX5032GA. A 
frequency of 13.28963 MHz is chosen to cover the 434 MHz band as well as the 868 MHz 
and the 915 MHz bands. However, for the 868 MHz and 915 MHz band, the matching 
network must be adapted accordingly.

In the 315 MHz version, the crystal frequency is 18.37036 MHz. The reference clock 
frequency is divided by two to keep the PLL frequency below the specified maximum of 
920 MHz. To achieve this frequency limitation, the internal XTAL clock divider is set to 
XOSL = 1.

The UHF matching network is adapted to transform the 50 

 terminated output 

impedance of connector X2 to the optimal impedance of the RF power amplifier. This is 
done in a way to attain the highest possible output power in power mode III (PAM=3) with 
a harmonic suppression of at least 

50 dBc.
