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 />
