General Description
The ATA5428 is a highly integrated UHF ASK/FSK multi-channel half-duplex transceiver with low power consumption supplied
in a small 7 x 7mm QFN48 package. The receive part is built as a fully integrated low-IF receiver, whereas direct PLL
modulation with the fractional-N synthesizer is used for FSK transmission and switching of the power amplifier for ASK
transmission.
The device supports data rates of 1Kbit/s to 20Kbit/s (FSK) and 1Kbit/s to 10Kbit/s (ASK) in Manchester, Bi-phase and other
codes in transparent mode. The ATA5428 can be used in the 431.5MHz to 436.5MHz and in the 862MHz to 872MHz bands.
The very high system integration level results in a small number of external components needed.
Due to its blocking and selectivity performance, together with the additional 15dB to 20dB loss and the narrow bandwidth of a
typical loop antenna in a remote control unit, a bulky blocking SAW is not needed in the remote control unit. Additionally, the
building blocks needed for a typical remote control and access control system on both sides (the base and the mobile stations)
are fully integrated.
Its digital control logic with self-polling and protocol generation enables a fast challenge-response system without using a high-
performance microcontroller. Therefore, the ATA5428 contains a FIFO buffer RAM and can compose and receive the physical
messages themselves. This provides more time for the microcontroller to carry out other functions such as calculating crypto
algorithms, composing the logical messages, and controlling other devices. Therefore, a standard 4-/8-bit microcontroller
without special periphery and clocked with the CLK output of about 4.5MHz is sufficient to control the communication link. This
is especially valid for passive entry and access control systems, where within less than 100ms several challenge-response
communications with arbitration of the communication partner have to be handled.
It is hence possible to design bi-directional remote control and access control systems with a fast challenge-response crypto
function, with the same PCB board size and with the same current consumption as uni-directional remote control systems.
