1.1
The main building block of the transceiver is a programmable PLL frequency synthesizer that is based on an
integer-N topology. The PLL is used for generating the carrier frequency during transmission and for
generating the LO signal during reception. The carrier frequency can be FSK-modulated either by pulling the
crystal or by modulating the VCO directly. ASK modulation is done by on/off keying of the power amplifier.
The receiver is based on the principle of a single conversion superhet. Therefore the VCO frequency has to
be changed between transmit and receive mode. In receive mode, the default LO injection type is low-side
injection.
The TH71221 transceiver IC consists of the following building blocks:

1.3 Note on ASK Operation
Optimum ASK performance can be achieved by using an 8-MHz crystal for operation at 315 MHz, 434 MHz
and 915 MHz. For details please refer to the software settings shown in sections 7.4 and 7.6. FSK operation
is the preferred choice for applications in the European 868MHz band.
