2.0 Description
The A5191HRT is a single-chip, CMOS modem for use in
Highway Addressable Remote Transducer (HART) field
instruments and masters. The modem and a few external
passive components provide all of the functions needed
to satisfy HART physical layer requirements including
modulation, demodulation, receive filtering, carrier
detect and transmit-signal shaping. The A5191HRT is pin-
compatible with the SYM20C15. See the Pin Description
and Functional Description sections for details on pin
compatibility with the SYM20C15.
The A5191HRT uses Phase Continuous Frequency Shift
Keying (FSK) at 1200 bits per second. To conserve power
the receive circuits are disabled during transmit
operations and vice versa. This provides the half-duplex
operation used in HART communications.

3.0 Pin Descriptions
IAREF: Analog Reference Voltage
This analog input sets the dc operating point of the oper-
ational amplifiers and comparators and is usually selected
to split the dc potential between V
DD
and V
SS
. See IAREF
in DC Characteristics on page 8.
is 2200 Hz. When ITXD is high, the modulator output
frequency is 1200 Hz.
IXTL: Oscillator Input
This input to the internal oscillator must be connected to
a parallel mode 460.8 kHz ceramic resonator when using
the internal oscillator or grounded when using an external
460.8 kHz clock signal.
ICDREF: Carrier Detect Reference Voltage
This analog input controls at which level the carrier detect
(OCD) becomes active. This is determined by the dc
voltage difference between ICDREF and IAREF. Selecting
ICDREF - IAREF equal to 0.08 V
DC
will set the carrier
detect to a nominal 100 mV
p-p
.
OCBIAS: Comparator Bias Current
The current through this output controls the operating param-
eters of the internal operational amplifiers and comparators.
For normal operation, OCBIAS current is set to 2.5 4A.
INRESET: Reset Digital Logic
When at logic low (V
SS
) this input holds all the digital logic
in Reset. During normal operation INRESET should be at
V
DD
. INRESET should be held low for a minimum of 10 nS
after V
DD
= 2.5 V as shown in Figure 3 below.
Figure 3:
Reset Timing
OCD: Carrier Detect Output
This output goes high when a valid input is recognized on
IRXA. If the received signal is greater than the threshold
specified on ICDREF for four cycles of the IRXA signal, the
valid input is recognized.

This signal is the square wave output of the receiver high-
pass filter.
ORXD: Digital Receive Output (CMOS)
This signal outputs the digital receive data. When the
received signal (IRXA) is 1200 Hz, ORXD outputs logic
high. When the received signal (IRXA) is 2200 Hz, ORXD
outputs logic low. ORXD is qualified internally with OCD.
OTXA: Analog Transmit Output
This output provides the trapezoidal signal controlled by
ITXD. When ITXD is low, the output frequency is 2200 Hz.
When ITXD is high, the output frequency is 1200 Hz. This
output is active when INRTS is low and 0.5 V
DC
when
INRTS is high.
Note: This signal is also present on the LSI 20C15. It is
labeled as Test6. The 20C15 datasheet mentions the reset
function of this pin but does not emphasize its use to
reset the chip. Reliable operation of the modem requires
a hardware reset as shown in Figure 3. This is true for the
AMIS 12197-503 and 12197-504 as well as the LSI 20C15.
OXTL: Oscillator Output
This output from the internal oscillator must be connected to
an external 460.8 kHz clock signal or to a parallel mode 460.8
kHz ceramic resonator when using the internal oscillator.
INRTS: Request To Send
This active-low input selects the operation of the modula-
tor. OTXA is enabled when this signal is low. This signal
must be held high during power-up.
TEST(12:1): Factory Test
These are factory test pins. For normal operation, tie
these signals as per Table 1 and Table 2.
IRXA*: Analog Receive Input
This input accepts the 1200/2200 Hz signals from the
external filter.
VDD: Digital Power
This is the power for the digital modem circuitry.
IRXAC: Analog Receive Comparator Input
This is the positive input of the carrier detect comparator
and the receiver filter comparator.
VDDA: Analog Supply Voltage
This is the power for the analog modem circuitry.
ITXD: Digital Transmit Input (CMOS)
This input to the modulator accepts digital data in NRZ
form. When ITXD is low, the modulator output frequency
VSS: Ground
This is the analog and digital ground.

A5191HRT
AMIS HART
™
Modem
4.0 Functional Description
The A5191HRT is a functional equivalent of the SYM20C15
HART Modem. It contains a transmit data modulator and
signal shaper, carrier detect circuitry, analog receiver and
demodulator circuitry and an oscillator, as shown in Figure 4.
Figure 4:
A5191HRT Block Diagram
The output of the demodulator is qualified with the carrier
detect signal (OCD), therefore, only IRXA signals large
enough to be detected (100 mV
p-p
typically) by the
carrier detect circuit produce received serial data at ORXD.
Maximum demodulator jitter is 12 percent of one bit
given input frequencies within HART specifications, a
clock frequency of 460.8 kHz (±1.0 percent) and zero
input (IRXA) asymmetry.
4.2 TRANSMIT–SIGNAL SHAPER
The transmit-signal shaper generates a HART compliant
FSK modulated signal at OTXA. Figure 6 and Figure 7
show the transmit-signal forms of the A5191HRT.
For IAREF = 1.235 V
DC
, OTXA will have a voltage swing
from approximately 0.25 to 0.75 V
DC
.

The internal HART modem modulates the transmit-signal
and demodulates the receive signal. The transmit-signal
shaper enables the A5191HRT to transmit a HART
compliant signal. The carrier is detected by comparing
the receiver filter output with the difference between two
external voltage references. The analog receive circuitry
band-pass filters the received signal for input to the
modem and the carrier detect circuitry. The oscillator
provides the modem with a stable time base using either
a simple external resonator or an external clock source.
4.1 A5191HRTLOGIC
The modem consists of a modulator and demodulator. The
modem uses shift frequencies of nominally 1200 Hz (for a
1) and 2200 Hz (for a 0). The bit rate is 1200 bits/second.
T
Modulator
The modulator accepts digital data in NRZ form at the
ITXD input and generates the FSK modulated signal at
the OTXA output. INRTS must be a logic low for the mod-
ulator to be active.

Demodulator
The demodulator accepts an FSK signal at the IRXA input
and reproduces the original modulating signal at the
ORXD output. The nominal bit rate is 1200 bits per sec-
ond. Figure 5 illustrates the demodulation process.
