Bit-Check Mode
In bit-check mode the incoming data stream is examined
to distinguish between a valid signal from a correspond-
ing transmitter and signals due to noise. This is done by
subsequent time frame checks where the distances be-
tween 2 signal edges are continuously compared to a
programmable time window. The maximum count of this
edge-to-edge tests before the receiver switches to receiv-
ing mode is also programmable.
Configuring the Bit Check
Assuming a modulation scheme that contains 2 edges per
bit, two time frame checks are verifying one bit. This is
valid for Manchester, Bi-phase and most other modula-
tion schemes. The maximum count of bits to be checked
can be set to 0, 3, 6 or 9 bits via the variable N
the OPMODE register. This implies 0, 6, 12 and 18 edge
to edge checks respectively. If N
value, the receiver is less likely to switch to receiving
mode due to noise. In the presence of a valid transmitter
signal, the bit check takes less time if N
a lower value. In polling mode, the bit-check time is not
dependent on N
where 3 bits are tested successfully and the data signal is
transferred to Pin DATA.
According to figure 12, the time window for the bit check
is defined by two separate time limits. If the edge-to-edge

in Manchester or Bi-phase is a good choice concerning
that advice. A good compromise between receiver sensi-
tivity and susceptibility to noise is a time window of
± 25% regarding the expected edge-to-edge time t
ing pre-burst patterns that contain various edge-to-edge
time periods, the bit-check limits must be programmed
according to the required span.
The bit-check limits are determined by means of the for-
mula below.

chapter ‘Receiving Mode’. The lower limit should be set
to Lim_min ≥ 10. The maximum value of the upper limit
is Lim_max = 63.
If the calculated value for Lim_min is < 19, it is recom-
mended to check 6 or 9 bits (N
switching to receiving mode due to noise.
Figures 13, 14 and 15 illustrate the bit check for the bit-
check limits Lim_min = 14 and Lim_max = 24. When
the IC is enabled, the signal processing circuits are en-
abled during T
demodulator (Dem_out) is undefined during that period.
When the bit check becomes active, the bit-check counter
is clocked with the cycle T
Figure 13 shows how the bit check proceeds if the bit-
check counter value CV_Lim is within the limits defined
by Lim_min and Lim_max at the occurrence of a signal
edge. In figure 14 the bit check fails as the value CV_lim
is lower than the limit Lim_min. The bit check also fails
if CV_Lim reaches Lim_max. This is illustrated in
figure 15.
