OL2311
Highly integrated single-chip sub 1 GHz RF receiver
Rev. 1 — 8 December 2011
Product data sheet
1. General description
A highly integrated single-chip receiver solution, the OL2311 is ideally suited to telemetry
applications operating in the ISM/SRD bands. The small form factor, low power
consumption and wide supply voltage range make this device suitable for use in battery
powered, handheld devices and their counter parts.
The device utilizes a fully integrated, programmable fractional-N PLL (including loop filter)
to control the Local Oscillator (LO), thus supporting multi-channel operation and
frequency hopping schemes. This feature also allows programmable frequency steps for
crystal (XTAL) drift compensation.
The device is based on a low IF direct conversion receiver architecture, with on-chip IF
filtering and programmable channel bandwidth. After filtering and amplification the
quadrature signals are digitized, demodulated and processed in the digital domain.
Baseband processing of the received signal comprises a demodulator, a data-slicer and
clock recovery followed by a Manchester decoder. Automated signal signature recognition
units are available to allow simple, fast and reliable data reception.
The device is controlled via a three-wire serial interface (SPI) with data input and output,
data clock and interface enable. The interface can be configured to a full SPI interface
with separate data and clock pins. Additional pins are available to access internal signals
in real-time.

7. Functional description
7.1 General architecture description
The OL2311 receiver is designed for use in both complex base-stations, when paired with
powerful microcontrollers, and low component-count remote units with low pin-count
microcontrollers. The IC features unique configuration possibilities via external pin-level
configuration or SFR bit manipulation. Several automatic sequences are implemented to
ease device operation, all of which can be manually influenced or overridden by
control-bits.
