The AS3933 is a 3-channel low power ASK receiver that is able to generate a wake-up upon detection of a data signal which uses a LF carrier frequency between 15-150 kHz. The integrated correlator can be used for detection of a programmable 16-bit or 32-bit Manchester wake-up pattern. The device can operate using one, two, or three active channels.
The AS3933 provides a digital RSSI value for each active channel,
it supports a programmable data rate and Manchester decoding with clock recovery. The AS3933 offers an internal Clock Generator, which is either derived from a crystal oscillator or the internal RC oscillator.
The user can decide to use the external clock generator instead.
The programmable features of AS3933 enable to optimize its settings for achieving a longer distance while retaining a reliable wake-up generation. The sensitivity level of AS3933 can be adjusted in presence of a strong field or in noisy environments.
Antenna tuning is greatly simplified, as the automatic tuning feature ensures perfect matching to the desired carrier frequency.
The AS3933 Demo Board demonstrates the main features of the AS3933. These include 3D wake-up pattern detection, readout of false wake-ups, possibility to measure current consumption in different operating modes, and measurement access to SPI communication and data output.
