Figure 4. Functional Block Diagram
In the receiver part, the chip uses LNA+MIXER+ILPLL low-IF architecture to achieve the Sub-GHz wireless
reception function. The chip uses PLL+PA architecture to achieve the Sub-GHz wireless transmitting function.
In the receiver system, the analog circuit mixes the RF signal to IF and converts the signal from analog to digital through the Limiter
module, then outputs I/Q two single bit signals to the digital circuit for (G) FSK demodulation. At the same time, SARADC will
convert the real-time RSSI signal to 8-bit digital signal, and sent them to the digital part for OOK demodulation and other processing.
The digital circuit is responsible for mixing the intermediate frequency to zero frequency (Baseband) and performing a series of
filtering and decision processing, while AFC and AGC control the analog circuit dynamically, finally the 1-bit original signal is
demodulated. After demodulation, the signal will be sent to the decoder to decode and fill in the FIFO, or output to the PAD directly.
In the transmitter system, the digital circuitry will encode the data and then send them to the modulator (or send them to the
modulator directly without encoding). The modulator will directly control the PLL and PA, modulate the data by (G) FSK or OOK and
transmit them.
The chip provides the SPI communication port. The external MCU can configure the various functions by accessing to the register,
control the main state machine, and access to the FIFO.
