AS3932
3D Low Frequency Wakeup Receiver
General Description
The AS3932 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 110 - 150 kHz. The
integrated correlator can be used for detection of a
programmable 16-bit wake-up pattern. The device can operate
using one, two, or three active channels.
The AS3932 provides a digital RSSI value for each active
channel, it supports a programmable data rate. The AS3932
offers a real-time clock (RTC), which is either derived from a
crystal oscillator or the internal RC oscillator.
The programmable features of AS3932 enable to optimize its
settings for achieving a longer distance while retaining a
reliable wake-up generation. The sensitivity level of AS3932 can
be adjusted in presence of a strong field or in noisy
environments.
The device is available in 16-pin TSSOP and 16LD QFN (4×4)
packages.
