AS3930
Single Channel Low Frequency
Wakeup Receiver
General Description
The AS3930 is a single-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 AS3930 provides a digital RSSI value, it supports a
programmable data rate. The AS3930 offers a real-time clock
(RTC), which is either derived from a crystal oscillator or the
internal RC oscillator.
The programmable features of AS3930 enable to optimize its
settings for achieving a longer distance while retaining a
reliable wake-up generation. The sensitivity level of AS3930 can
be adjusted in presence of a strong field or in noisy
environments. The device is available in a 16-pin TSSOP and a
16-LD QFN (4x4) package.
