Description
The TMS37122 is a three channel LF Transceiver, which can handle up to three antennas for LF field detection indepen-dent of orientation. It provides a maximum sensitivity of typical 5mVpp, which allows extended read ranges up to a few meters. This is by far more compared to traditional transponder systems. Figure 1 shows the implemen-tation in a Passive Entry system and Figure 2 a typical applica-tion in a generic identification device. Two different read ranges can be achieved with the programmable wake patterns
and thresholds. This is used e.g.
for read range restrictions on
Indoor / Outdoor detection in
passive entry automotive
applications.
Also external devices can be
woken up with the WAKE UP
output. A simple serial interface
enables bi-directional LF data
transmission.
The IC provides a very low
current consumption of typically
5μA in standby mode with all 3
antennas active. To reduce
standby current consumption,
unused antennas can be
switched off and the standby
current goes down to typically
2μA with one antenna active.
This feature extends battery
lifetime and makes the device
well suited for battery-powered
applications. The device can
also operate in battery-less
backup mode, if battery power is
not available. Exact resonance
trimming of each antenna circuit
can be achieved with the on-chip
trimming capacitors.
