A simplified block diagram of CC1021 is<br />

shown in Figure 2. Only signal pins are<br />

shown.<br />

CC1021 features a low-IF receiver. The<br />

received<br />

<strong>RF</strong> signal is amplified by the low-<br />

noise<br />

amplifier (LNA and LNA2) and<br />

down-converted in quadrature (I and Q) to<br />

the intermediate frequency (IF). At IF, the<br />

I/Q signal is complex filtered and<br />

amplified, and then digitized by the ADCs.<br />

Automatic gain control, fine channel<br />

filtering, demodulation and bit<br />

synchronization is per<strong>for</strong>med digitally.<br />

CC1021 outputs the digital demodulated<br />

data on the DIO pin. A synchronized data<br />

clock is available at the DCLK pin. RSSI is<br />

available in digital <strong>for</strong>mat and can be read<br />

via the serial interface. The RSSI also<br />

features a programmable carrier sense<br />

indicator.<br />

In transmit mode, the synthesized <strong>RF</strong><br />

frequency is fed directly to the power<br />

amplifier (PA). The <strong>RF</strong> output is frequency<br />

shift keyed (FSK) by the digital bit stream<br />

that is fed to the DIO pin. Optionally, a<br />

Gaussian filter can be used to obtain<br />

Gaussian FSK (GFSK).<br />

The frequency synthesizer includes a<br />

completely on-chip LC VCO and a 90<br />

degrees phase splitter <strong>for</strong> generating the<br />

LO_I and LO_Q signals to the downconversion<br />

mixers in receive mode. The<br />

VCO operates in the frequency range<br />

1.608-1.880 GHz. The CHP_OUT pin is<br />

the charge pump output and VC is the<br />

control node of the on-chip VCO. The<br />

external loop filter is placed between these<br />

pins. A crystal is to be connected between<br />

XOSC_Q1 and XOSC_Q2. A lock signal is<br />

available from the PLL.<br />

The 4-wire SPI serial interface is used <strong>for</strong><br />

configuration.<br />
