DESCRIPTION

Dual Matched, High Frequency Bandpass/Lowpass Filters

The LTC®6602 is a dual, matched, programmable bandpass or lowpass filter and differential driver. The selectivity of the LTC6602, combined with its phase matching and dynamic range, make it ideal for filtering in RFID systems. With two degree phase matching between channels, the LTC6602 can be used in applications requiring highly matched filters, such as transceiver I and Q channels. Gain programmabil-ity, and the fully differential inputs and outputs, simplify implementation in most systems.

Both channels of the LTC6602 consist of a programmable lowpass and highpass filter. For bandpass functionality, the lowpass filters are programmed for the upper cutoff frequency. For lowpass functionality, the highpass filters can be bypassed. The filter cutoff frequencies can be set with a guaranteed accuracy of 3% with the use of a single resistor. Alternatively, the filter cutoff frequencies can be controlled with an external clock.

The LTC6602 operates on a single 2.7V to 3.6V supply and features a low power shutdown mode.

Note 1: Stresses beyond those listed under Absolute Maximum Ratings may cause permanent damage to the device. Exposure to any Absolute Maximum Rating condition for extended periods may affect device reliability and lifetime.Note 2: LTC6602C and LTC6602I are guaranteed functional over the operating temperature range of –40°C to 85°C.Note 3: LTC6602C is guaranteed to meet specified performance from 0°C to 70°C. The LTC6602C is designed, characterized and expected to meet specified performance from –40°C to 85°C but is not tested or QA sampled at these temperatures. The LTC6602I is guaranteed to meet the specified performance limits from –40°C to 85°C.

Note 4: This test measures the internal oscillator accuracy (deviation from the fCLK equation). Variations in the internal oscillator frequency cause variations in the filter cutoff frequency. See the “Applications Information” section. Note 5: 1.57MHz is the equivalent noise bandwidth of a 1MHz 1st order RC lowpass filter. Note 6: Guaranteed by design, not subject to test. Note 7: To conform to the Logic IC standard, current out of a pin is arbitrarily given a negative value.

LTC6602

106602fc

PIN FUNCTIONSV+IN (Pin 1): Input Voltage Supply (2.7V ≤ V ≤ 5.5V). This supply must be kept free from noise and ripple. It should be bypassed directly to a ground plane with a 0.1µF ca-pacitor unless it is tied to V+A (Pin 2). The bypass should be as close as possible to the IC, but is not as critical as the bypassing of V+A and V+D (Pin16).

V+A (Pin 2): Analog Voltage Supply (2.7V ≤ V ≤ 3.6V). This supply must be kept free from noise and ripple. It should be bypassed directly to a ground plane with a 0.1µF capacitor. The bypass should be as close as possible to the IC.

VOCM (Pin 3): Output common mode voltage reference. If floated, an internal resistive divider sets the voltage on this pin to half the supply voltage (typically 1.5V), maximizing the dynamic range of the filter. If this pin is floated, it must be bypassed with a quality 0.1µF capacitor to ground. This pin has a typical input impedance of 400Ω and may be overdriven. Driving this pin to a voltage other than the default value will reduce the signal range the filter can handle before clipping.

RBIAS (Pin 4): Oscillator Frequency-Setting Resistor Input. The value of the resistor connected between this pin and ground determines the frequency of the master oscillator, and sets the bias currents for the filter networks. The volt-age on this pin is held by the LTC6602 to approximately 1.17V. For best performance, use a precision metal film resistor with a value between 54.9k and 200k and limit the capacitance on this pin to less than 10pF. This resistor is necessary even if an external clock is used.

CLKCNTL (Pin 5): Clock Control Input. This three-state input selects the function of CLKIO (Pin 15). Tying the CLKCNTL pin to ground allows the CLKIO pin to be driven by an external clock (CLKIO is the master clock input). If the CLKCNTL pin is floated, the internal oscillator is enabled, but the master clock is not present at the CLKIO pin (CLKIO is a no-connect). If the CLKCNTL pin is tied to V+D (Pin 16), the internal oscillator is enabled and the master clock is present at the CLKIO pin (CLKIO is the master clock output). To detect a floating CLKCNTL pin, the LTC6602 attempts to pull the pin toward mid-supply.

This is realized with two internal current sources, one tied to V+D and CLKCNTL and the other one tied to ground and CLKCNTL. Therefore, driving the CLKCNTL pin high requires sourcing approximately 15µA. Likewise, driving the CLKCNTL pin low requires sinking 15µA. When the CLKCNTL pin is floated, preferably it should be bypassed by a 1nF capacitor to ground or it should be surrounded by a ground shield to prevent excessive coupling from other PCB traces.

LPF1(CS) (Pin 6): Logic Input. When in pin programmable control mode, this pin is the MSB of the lowpass cutoff frequency control code; in serial control mode, this pin is the chip select input (active low).

+INB, –INB (Pins 7, 8): Channel B differential inputs. The input range and input resistance are described in the Applications Information section. Input voltages which exceed V+IN (Pin 1) should be avoided.

LPF0(SCLK) (Pin 9): Logic Input. When in pin program-mable control mode, this pin is the LSB of the lowpass cutoff frequency control code; in serial control mode, this pin is the clock of the serial interface.

HPF1(SDI) (Pin 10): Logic Input. When in pin program-mable control mode, this pin is the MSB of the highpass cutoff frequency control code; in serial control mode, this pin is the serial data input.

HPF0(SDO) (Pin 11): Logic Input. When in pin program-mable control mode, this pin is the LSB of the highpass cutoff frequency control code; in serial control mode, this pin is the serial data output.

–OUTB, +OUTB (Pins 12, 13): Channel B differential filter outputs. These pins can drive 1k and/or 50pF loads. For larger capacitive loads, an external 100Ω series resistor is recommended for each output. The common mode voltage of the filter outputs is the same as the voltage at VOCM (Pin 3).

GND (Pin 14): Ground. Connect to a ground plane for best performance.

LTC6602

116602fc

PIN FUNCTIONSCLKIO (Pin 15): When CLKCNTL (Pin 5) is tied to ground, CLKIO is the master clock input. When CLKCNTL is floated, CLKIO is pulled to ground by a weak, 5µA pulldown. When CLKCNTL is tied to V+D (Pin 16), CLKIO is the master clock output. When configured as a clock output, this pin can drive 1k and/or 5pF loads. Heavier loads may cause inac-curacies due to supply bounce at high frequencies.

V+D (Pin 16): Digital Voltage Supply (2.7V ≤ V ≤ 3.6V). This supply must be kept free from noise and ripple. It should be bypassed directly to a ground plane with a 0.1µF capacitor. The bypass should be as close as possible to the IC.

SER (Pin 17): Interface Selection Input. When tied to V+D (Pin 16), the interface is in pin programmable control mode, i.e. the filter gain and cutoff frequencies are programmed by the GAIN1, GAIN0, HPF1, HPF0, LPF1 and LPF0 pin connections. When SER is tied to ground, the filter gain, the filter cutoff frequencies and shutdown mode are pro-grammed by the serial interface.

–OUTA, +OUTA (Pins 18, 19): Channel A differential filter outputs. These pins can drive 1k and/or 50pF loads. For

larger capacitive loads, an external 100Ω series resistor is recommended for each output. The common mode voltage of the filter outputs is the same as the voltage at VOCM (Pin 3).

MUTE (Pin 20): MUTEX input. Drive to ground to discon-nect and mute the inputs. Float or drive to V+D (Pin 16) for normal operation.

GAIN0(D0) (Pin 21): Logic Input. When in pin program-mable control mode, this pin is the LSB of the gain control code; in serial control mode, this pin is the LSB of the serial control register, an output.

GAIN1 (Pin 22): Logic Input. When in pin programmable control mode, this pin is the MSB of the gain control code; in serial control mode, this pin is a no-connect.

–INA, +INA (Pins 23, 24): Channel A differential inputs. The input range and input resistance are described in the Applications Information section. Input voltage levels can range from GND to the V+IN supply rail.

Exposed Pad (Pin 25): Ground. The Exposed Pad must be soldered to PCB.

LTC6602

136602fc

APPLICATIONS INFORMATIONTheory of Operation (Refer to Block Diagram)

The LTC6602 features two matched filter channels, each containing gain control, lowpass, and highpass networks that are controlled by a single control block and clocked by a single clock generator. The gain, lowpass and highpass sections can be independently programmed. The two channels are not independent, i.e. if the gain is set to 24dB, then both channels have a gain of 24dB. The filter can also be programmed to bypass the highpass filter networks, giving a lowpass response. The filter can be clocked with an external clock source, or using the internal oscillator. A resistor connected to the RBIAS pin sets the bias currents for the filter networks and the internal oscillator frequency (unless driven by an external clock). Altering the clock frequency changes the filter bandwidths. This allows the filters to be “tuned” to many different bandwidths.

Pin Programmable Interface

As shown in Figure 1, connecting SER to V+D allows the filter to be directly controlled through the pin programmable control lines GAIN1, GAIN0, HPF1, HPF0, LPF1 and LPF0. The HPF0(SDO) and GAIN0(D0) pins are bidirectional (in-puts in pin programmable control mode, outputs in serial mode). In pin programmable control mode, the voltages at HPF0(SDO) and GAIN0(D0) cannot exceed V+D; oth-erwise, large currents can be injected to V+D through the internal diodes (see Figure 2). Connecting a 10k resistor at the HPF0(SDO) and GAIN0(D0) pins (see Figure 1) is recommended for current limiting, to less than 10mA. SER has an internal pull-up to V+D. None of the logic inputs have an internal pull-up or pull-down.

APPLICATIONS INFORMATIONSerial Interface

Connecting SER to ground allows the filter to be controlled through the SPI serial interface. When CS is low, the serial data on SDI is shifted into an 8-bit shift-register on the rising edge of the clock (SCLK), with the MSB transferred first (see Figure 3). Serial data on SDO is shifted out on the clock’s falling edge. A high CS will load the 8 bits of the shift-register into an 8-bit D-latch, which is the serial control register. The clock is disabled internally when CS is pulled high. Note: SCLK must be low before CS is pulled low to avoid an extra internal clock pulse. SDO is always active in serial mode (never tri-stated) and cannot be “wire-or’ed” to other SPI outputs. In addition, SDO is not forced to zero when CS is pulled high.

An LTC6602 may be daisy chained with other LTC6602s or other devices having serial interfaces. Daisy chain-ing is accomplished by connecting the SDO of the lead chip to the SDI of the next chip, while SCLK and CS remain common to all chips in the daisy chain. The se-rial data is clocked to all the chips then the CS signal is pulled high to update all of them simultaneously. Figure 4 shows an example of two LTC6602s in a daisy chained SPI configuration.

GAIN1 and GAIN0 are the gain control bits (register bits D6 and D7 when in serial mode). Their function is shown in Table 1. In serial mode, register bit D1 can be set to ‘1’ to put the device into a low power shutdown mode. Register bit D0 is a general purpose output (Pin 21) when in serial mode.

Self-Clocking Operation

The LTC6602 features a unique internal oscillator which sets the filter cutoff frequency using a single external resistor connected to the RBIAS pin. The clock frequency is deter-mined by the following simple formula (see Figure 5):

fCLK = 494.1MHz • 10k/RBIAS

Note: RBIAS ≤ 200k.

Figure 5. RBIAS vs Desired Clock Frequency

The design is optimized for V+A, V+D = 3V, fCLK = 90MHz, where the filter cutoff frequency error is typically <3% when a 0.1% external 54.9k resistor is used. With differ-ent resistor values and cutoff frequency control settings (HPF1, HPF0, LPF1 and LPF0), the highpass and lowpass cutoff frequencies can be accurately varied from 4.1175kHz to 90kHz and from 41.175kHz to 900kHz, respectively. Table 2 summarizes the cutoff frequencies that can be obtained with an external resistor (RBIAS) value of 54.9k. Note that the cutoff frequencies scale with the clock fre-quency. For example, if HPF1, HPF0, LPF1 and LPF0 are all equal to zero, and RBIAS is increased from 54.9k to 200k, fCLK will decrease from 90MHz to 24.705MHz, the lowpass cutoff frequency will be reduced from 150kHz to 41.175kHz, and the highpass cutoff frequency will be reduced from 15kHz to 4.1175Hz. The cutoff frequencies that can be obtained with an external resistor value of 200k

Preserving Oscillator Accuracy

The oscillator is sensitive to transients on the positive supply. The IC should be soldered to the PC board and the PCB layout should include a 0.1µF ceramic capacitor between V+A (Pin 2) and ground, as close as possible to the IC to minimize inductance. The PCB layout should also include an additional 0.1µF ceramic capacitor between V+D (Pin 16) and ground. Avoid parasitic capacitance on RBIAS (Pin 4) and avoid routing noisy signals near RBIAS. Use a ground plane connected to Pin 14 and the Exposed Pad (Pin 25).

Alternative Methods of Setting the Clock Frequency of the LTC6602

The oscillator may be programmed by any method that sinks a current out of the RBIAS pin. The circuit in Figure 6 sets the clock frequency by using a programmable current source and in the expression for fCLK, the resistor RBIAS is replaced by the ratio of 1.17V/ICONTROL. Because the voltage of the RBIAS pin is approximately 1.17V ±5%, the Figure 6 circuit is less accurate than if a resistor controls the clock frequency.

Figure 7 shows the LTC6602’s oscillator configured as a VCO. A voltage source is connected in series with the RBIAS resistor. The clock frequency, fCLK, will vary with VCONTROL. Again, this circuit decouples the relationship between the current out of the RBIAS pin and the voltage of the RBIAS pin; the frequency accuracy will be degraded. The clock frequency, however, will increase monotonically with decreasing VCONTROL.

Operation Using an External Clock

The LTC6602 may be clocked by an external oscillator for tighter bandwidth control by pulling CLKCNTL (Pin 5) to ground and driving a clock into CLKIO (Pin 15). If an external clock is used, the RBIAS resistor is still necessary. The value of RBIAS must be no larger than the value that would be required for using the internal oscillator. For example, a 100k resistor would program the internal oscil-lator for 49.41MHz, so an external oscillator frequency of 49.41MHz would require an RBIAS resistance of no more than 100k. If the value of RBIAS is too large, the filters will not receive a large enough bias current, possibly causing errors due to insufficient settling.

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION

Figure 8. Distortion vs Common Mode Input Voltage (3V) Figure 9. Distortion vs Common Mode Input Voltage (5V)

Input Common Mode and Differential Voltage Range

The input signal range extends from zero to the V+IN sup-ply voltage. This input supply can be tied to V+A and V+D, or driven up to 5.5V for increased input common mode voltage range. Figures 8 and 9 show the distortion of the filter versus common mode input voltage with a 1.5VP-P differential input signal.

For best performance, the inputs should be driven dif-ferentially. For single ended signals, connect the unused input to VOCM (Pin 3) or to a quiet DC reference voltage. To achieve the best distortion performance, the input signal should be centered around the DC voltage of the unused input.

Refer to the Typical Performance Characteristics section to estimate the distortion for a given input level.

Dynamic Input Impedance

The unique input sampling structure of the LTC6602 has a dynamic input impedance which depends on the configura-tion and the clock frequency. This dynamic input impedance has both a differential component and a common mode component. The common mode input impedance is a function of the clock frequency and the control bit LPF1. The differential input impedance is a function of the clock frequency and the control bits LPF1, GAIN1 and GAIN0. Table 4 shows the typical input impedances for a clock frequency of 90MHz. These input impedances are all pro-portional to 1/fCLK, so if the clock frequency were reduced

by half to 45MHz, the impedances would be doubled. The typical part to part variation in dynamic input impedance for a given clock frequency is –20% to +35%.

Output Common Mode and Differential Voltage Range

The output voltage is a fully differential signal with a common mode level equal to the voltage at VOCM. Any of the filter outputs may be used as single-ended outputs, although this will degrade the performance. The output voltage range is typically 0.5V to V+A – 0.5V (V+A = 2.7V to 3.6V).

The common mode output voltage can be adjusted by overdriving the voltage present on VOCM. To maximize the undistorted peak-to-peak signal swing of the filter, the VOCM voltage should be set to V+A/2. Note that the

output common mode voltages of the two channels are not independent as they are both set by the VOCM pin. Figure 10 illustrates the distortion versus output common mode voltage for a 1.5VP-P differential input voltage and a common mode input voltage that is equal to mid-supply.

Interfacing to the LTC6602

The input and output common mode voltages of the LTC6602 are independent. The input common mode volt-age is set by the signal source if DC coupled, as shown in Figure 11. If the inputs are AC coupled, the input com-mon mode voltage will pulled to ground by an equivalent resistance of RCM, shown in Table 4. This does not affect the filter’s performance as long as the input amplitude is less than 0.5VP-P . At low filter gain settings, a larger input voltage swing may be desired. Figure 12 shows two circuits with AC coupled inputs. In a fixed lowpass cutoff

frequency, connecting resistors between each input and V+IN will pull the input common mode voltage up, increas-ing the input signal swing (Figure 12a). The resistance, RPULL-UP , necessary to set the input common mode voltage, VICM, to any desired level can be calculated by

where

RCM = 20k • 90MHz/fCLK for LPFI = 0

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION

Figure 13. Two Filters in a Master/Slave Configuration

If the lowpass cutoff frequency varies then the Figure 12b circuit must be used.

The output common mode voltage is equal to the voltage of the VOCM pin. The VOCM pin is biased to one half of the supply voltage by an internal resistive divider (see Block Diagram). To alter the common mode output voltage, VOCM can be driven with an external voltage source or resistor network. If external resistors are used, it is important to note that the internal 1.6k resistors can vary ±30% (their ratio varies only ±1%). The filter outputs can also be AC coupled.

The LTC6602 can be interfaced to an A/D converter by pull-ing CLKCNTL (Pin 5) to V+D. This configures CLKIO (Pin 15) as a clock output, which can be used to drive the clock input of the A/D converter. This allows the A/D converter to be synchronized with the filter sampling clock, avoiding “beat frequencies” and simplifying the board layout. Any routing attached to the CLKIO pin should be as short as possible, in order to minimize ringing.

Similarly, two LTC6602s can be connected in a master/slave configuration as shown in Figure 13. This results in four matched filter channels, all synchronized to the same clock. The master has its CLKCNTL pin pulled to V+D, configuring its CLKIO pin as an output, while the slave has its CLKCNTL pin pulled to ground, configuring its CLKIO pin as an input.

Output Drive

The filter outputs can drive 1k and/or 50pF loads connected to AC ground with a 0.5V to 2.5V signal (corresponding to a 4VP-P differential signal). For differential loads (loads connected between +OUTA and –OUTA or +OUTB and –OUTB) the outputs can produce a 4VP-P signal across 2k and/or 25pF. For smaller signal amplitudes, the outputs can drive correspondingly heavier loads. For larger capacitive loads, an external 50Ω series resistor is recommended for each output.

Figure 14. Mute Function Recovery Time

APPLICATIONS INFORMATIONMute Function

The LTC6602 features a mute function which is asserted by pulling MUTE (Pin 20) to ground. This breaks the signal path that leads from the input pins to the filter networks, attenuating the input signal by at least 20dB. The mute function can be used to protect the filter inputs from large transients. The filter clock continues to run when the filter is muted, allowing for a fast recovery time when MUTE is deasserted. Typically, the recovery time is less than 5µs, as shown in Figure 14. When the mute function is asserted, the differential input impedance becomes very high, but the common mode input impedance to ground remains the same. This keeps the input common mode voltage stable when muted, even when the inputs are AC coupled. Connecting GAIN0(D0) to MUTE allows for serial control of the mute function. MUTE has an internal pull-up to V+D.

A ground plane should be used. Noisy signals should be isolated from the filter input pins.

The output DC offset typically changes less than ±2mV when the clock frequency varies from 24.705MHz to 90MHz. The offset is measured by connecting the inputs to VOCM and measuring the differential voltage at the filter’s output.

Aliasing

Aliasing is an inherent phenomenon of sampled data filters. Significant aliasing only occurs when the frequency of the input signal approaches the sampling frequency or mul-tiples of the sampling frequency. The ratio of the LTC6602 input sampling frequency to the clock frequency, fCLK, is determined by the state of control bit LPF1. If LPF1 is set to ‘0’, the input sampling frequency is equal to fCLK/3. If LPF1 is set to ‘1’, the input sampling frequency is equal to fCLK. Input signals with frequencies near the input sampling frequency will be aliased to the passband of the filter and appear at the output unattenuated.

A simple LC anti-aliasing filter is recommended at the filter inputs to attenuate frequencies near the input sampling frequency that will be aliased to the passband. For example, if the clock frequency is set to 90MHz and the lowpass cutoff frequency of the filter is set to it’s maximum (LPF1 = ‘1’), the lowest frequency that would be aliased to the passband would be fCLK – fCUTOFF , i.e. 90MHz – 900kHz = 89.1MHz. In order to attenuate this frequency by 40dB, an LC filter with a cutoff frequency of 8.91MHz or lower would be required at the filter inputs. The capacitor connected between the LTC6602 filter inputs should be at least 150pF to provide sufficient charge to the input sampler. If there is no anti-aliasing filter, the LTC6602 filter inputs should be driven by a low impedance source (<100Ω).

Wideband Noise

The wideband noise of the filter is the RMS value of the device’s output noise spectral density. The wideband noise voltage is used to determine the operating signal-to-noise ratio at a given distortion level. The wideband noise is nearly independent of the value of the clock frequency and excludes the clock feedthrough. Most of the wideband noise is concentrated in the filter passband and cannot be removed with post filtering.

MUTE (2V/DIV)

VOUT (1V/DIV)

4µs/DIV

Clock Feedthrough

Clock feedthrough is defined as the RMS value of the clock frequency and its harmonics that are present at the filter’s output. The clock feedthrough is measured with +INA and –INA (or +INB, –INB) tied to VOCM and depends on the PC board layout and the power supply decoupling. The clock feedthrough can be reduced with a simple RC post filter.

DC Offset

The output DC offset of the LTC6602 is less than ±15mV. To obtain optimum DC offset performance, appropriate PC board layout techniques should be used. The filter IC should be soldered to the PC board. The power sup-plies should be well decoupled including 0.1µF ceramic capacitors from V+D (Pin 16) and V+A (Pin 2) to ground.

1 X 1 0 –82dBm

Power Supply Current

The power supply current depends on the state of the lowpass cutoff frequency controls (LPF1, LPF0) and the value of RBIAS. When the LTC6602 is programmed for the lowest lowpass cutoff frequency (LPF1 = LPF0 = ‘0’), the supply current is reduced by about 35% relative to the supply current for the higher bandwidth settings. Power supply current vs. cutoff frequency for various bandwidth settings is shown in the Typical Performance Characteris-tics section. The LTC6602 can be programmed through the serial interface to enter into a low power shutdown mode as described in the Serial Interface section. The power supply current during shutdown is less than 235µA.

Supply Current Versus Noise Tradeoff

The passband of the LTC6602 is determined by the master clock frequency (which is set by RBIAS when the internal oscillator is used), HPF1, HPF0, LPF1 and LPF0. The LTC6602 is optimized for use with RBIAS having a value between 200k and 54.9k to set the internal oscillation

frequency from 24.705MHz to 90MHz. Both lowpass and highpass corner frequencies are proportional to the clock frequency (internal or external). To extend the filter’s operational frequency range, the master clock is divided down before reaching the filter. LPF1 and LPF0 set the divi-sion ratio of the lowpass clock while HPF1 and HPF0 set the division ratio of the highpass clock. Figure 15 shows the possible cutoff frequencies versus fCLK, HPF1, HPF0, LPF1 and LPF0. Overlapping frequency ranges allow more than one possible choice of bandwidth settings for some cutoff frequencies. Figure 16 shows supply current as a function of the lowpass cutoff frequency, LPF1 and LPF0. Note that the higher bandwidth setting always gives the minimum supply current for a given cutoff frequency. The total integrated noise voltage for a passband gain of 30dB is shown in Table 5. Note that the noise is higher for the higher bandwidth settings. This creates a tradeoff between supply current and noise. For a given cutoff frequency, using the highest possible bandwidth setting gives the minimum supply current at the expense of higher noise.

APPLICATIONS INFORMATIONThe LTC6602, an Adaptable Baseband Filter for an RFID Reader

A radio-frequency identification (RFID) system is an auto-id technology that identifies any object that contains a coded tag. An RFID system consists of a reader (or interrogator) and a tag. An RFID system capable of identifying multiple tags at a maximum operating distance operates in the UHF frequency range. A UHF reader transmits informa-tion to a tag by modulating an RF signal in the 860MHz to 960MHz frequency range. Typically a tag is passive, meaning that it receives all of its operating energy from a reader that transmits a continuous wave (CW) RF signal to power a tag. A tag responds by modulating the reflec-tion coefficient of its antenna, thereby backscattering an information signal to the reader. Reliable detection of a tag signal requires communication protocols that define the physical and operating interaction between readers and tags. The latest UHF RFID protocol, the Electronic Product Code™ (EPC) global class-1 generation 2 standard (C1G2), have been accepted worldwide and is also known as ISO 18000-6C. The C1G2 standard defines a reader to tag and a tag to reader communication using a flexible set of signal modulation, data encoding, data rates and command procedures. C1G2 specifies reader and tag data symbols using pulse-interval encoding. Tag signal detec-tion requires measuring the time interval between signal transitions (a data “1” symbol has a longer interval than a data “0” symbol). The reader initiates a tag inventory by sending a signal that instructs a tag to set its backscatter data rate and encoding. C1G2 certified RFID readers can operate in an RF environment where many readers are in close proximity. The three operating modes of C1G2, single interrogator, multiple interrogator and dense interrogator, define the spectral limits of reader and tag signals for an optimum balance of reliable multitag detection and high data throughput (for more information on C1G2, consult the references at the end of this design note). The advan-tages of C1G2 complex protocols can be realized by using a reader whose receiver contains a high linearity direct conversion I and Q demodulator, a low noise amplifier, a dual baseband filter with variable gain and bandwidth and a dual analog to digital converter (ADC).

Certified C1G2 UHF RFID readers can adapt to a great variety of operating conditions. To achieve operating flexibility a reader’s baseband circuits must include an adaptable bandwidth filter. Figure 17 shows an LTC6602 based filter circuit that uses SPI control to vary the filter’s bandwidth to adjust for the C1G2 complex set of data rates, encoding and modulation. The filter’s clock frequency is set by the SPI control of 8-bit LTC2630 DAC (digital to analog converter). The DAC voltage through a resistive divider sets the current into the LTC6602 RBIAS pin. The resistive divider sets the clock frequency range for a DAC voltage range 0V to 3V. For the resistor values in Figure 17 (191k and 61.9k) the clock frequency range is 40MHz to 100MHz (234.4kHz per bit). The lowpass and highpass division ratio is set by the SPI control of the LTC6602. The cutoff range for the highpass filter is 6.7kHz to 100kHz and for the lowpass filter is 66.7kHz to 1MHz. The optimum filter bandwidth setting can be adjusted by a software algorithm and is a function of the reader’s data clock, data rate, encoding and modulation. The filter bandwidth must be sufficiently narrow to maximize the dynamic range to the ADC input and wide enough to preserve signal transi-tions and pulse width. If the filter setting is optimum then a DSP algorithm can reliably detect tag data. Figure 18a shows the filter’s time response to a typical tag symbol sequence (a “short” pulse interval followed by a “long” pulse interval). The lowpass cutoff frequency is set equal to the reciprocal of the shortest interval (fCUTOFF = 1/10µs = 100kHz). If the lowpass cutoff frequency is lower the signal transition and time interval will be distorted beyond recognition by any tag signal detection algorithm. The set-ting of the highpass cutoff frequency is more qualitative than specific. The highpass cutoff frequency must be lower than the reciprocal of the longest interval (for Figure 18 example, highpass fCUTOFF < 1/20µs < 50kHz) and as high as possible to decrease the receiver’s low frequency noise (baseband amplifier and down-converted phase and amplitude noise). Figures 18a and 18b show the filter’s total response (lowpass plus highpass filter). The filter’s output is shown with 30kHz and a 10kHz highpass cutoff frequency setting. Comparing the filter outputs with a 10kHz and a 30kHz highpass setting, the signal transitions and time intervals of the 10kHz output are adequate for
