5 / 9 page Page 9 Page 8 POWER SUPPLY REQUIREMENTS The receiver module requires a clean, well-regulated power source. While it is preferable to power the unit from a battery, the unit can also be operated from a power supply as long as noise and ‘hash’ is less than 20 mV. A 10 resistor in series with the supply followed by a 10µF tantalum capacitor from V CC to ground will help in cases where the quality of supply power is poor. Please note that operation from 4.7 to 5.2 volts requires the use of an external 200 resistor placed in series with V CC. THE DATA OUTPUT A CMOS-compatible data output is available on pin 8. This output is normally used to drive directly a digital decoder IC or a microprocessor that is performing the data decoding. The receiver’s output is internally qualified, meaning that it will only transition when valid data is present. In instances where no carrier is present the output will remain low. Since a UART utilizes high marking to indicate the absence of data, a designer using a UART may wish to insert a logic inverter between the data output of the RXM-LC-S and the UART. It is important to realize that the data output of the receiver may be subject to some pulse stretching or shortening. This is caused by a combination of oscillator start-up time on the transmitter and ring-down time in the receiver’s ceramic filter. It is important to consider this effect when planning protocol. To learn more about protocol considerations for the LC series we suggest you read Linx applications note #00232. RECEIVING DATA Once a reliable RF link has been established, the challenge becomes how to effectively transfer data across it. While a properly designed RF link provides reliable data transfer under most conditions, there are still distinct differences from a wired link that must be addressed. Since the RXM-LC-S modules do not incorporate internal encoding/decoding, a user has tremendous flexibility in how data is handled. It is always important to separate what type of transmissions are technically possible from those that are legally allowable in the country of intended operation. You may wish to review application notes #00125 and #00140 along with Part 15 Sec. 231 for further details on acceptable transmission content. Another area of consideration is that of data structure or protocol. If unfamiliar with the considerations for sending serial data in a wireless environment, you will want to review Linx application note #00232 (Considerations for sending data with the LC series). These issues should be clearly understood prior to commencing a significant design effort. If you want to transfer simple control or status signals such as button presses or switch closures, and your product does not have a microprocessor on board your product or you wish to avoid protocol development, consider using an encoder and decoder IC set. These chips are available from a wide range of manufacturers including: Microchip (Keeloq), Holtek (available directly from Linx), and Motorola. These chips take care of all encoding, error checking, and decoding functions and generally provide a number of data pins to which switches can be directly connected. In addition, address bits are usually provided for security and to allow the addressing of multiple receivers independently. These IC’s are an excellent way to bring basic Remote Control/Status products quickly and inexpensively to market. Additionally, it is a simple task to interface with inexpensive microprocessors such as the Microchip PIC or one of many IR, remote control, DTMF, and modem IC’s.

Its exceptional sensitivity provides outstanding range at the maximum data rate. While oriented toward high-volume automated production, the LC-S’s compact surface-mount package is also friendly to prototype and hand production. When combined with a Linx LC series transmitter, a highly reliable RF link capable of transferring digital data over line- of-sight distances in excess of 300 feet (90m) is formed. THEORY OF OPERATION The RXM-LC-S is designed to recover data sent by a CPCA transmitter. This type of AM modulation is often referred to by other designations including CW and OOK. As the CPCA designation suggests, this type of modulation represents a logic low ‘0’ by the absence of a carrier and a logic high ‘1’ by the presence of a carrier. This modulation method affords numerous benefits. Two most important are: 1) Cost-effectiveness due to design simplicity and 2) Higher output power and thus greater range in countries (such as the US) which average output power measurements over time. Please refer to Linx application note #00130 for a further discussion of modulation techniques including CPCA. The LC series utilizes an advanced single-conversion superhet design which incorporates a SAW device, high IF frequency and multi-layer ceramic filters. The SAW device has been in use for more than a decade but has only recently begun to receive the widespread acclaim its outstanding capabilities deserve. A SAW device provides a highly accurate frequency source with excellent immunity to frequency shift due to age or temperature. The use of SAW devices in both the LC transmitter and receiver modules allows the receiver’s pass opening to be quite narrow, thus increasing sensitivity and reducing susceptibility to near-band interference. The quality of components and overall architecture utilized in the LC series is unusual in a low-cost product and is one of the primary reasons the LC receivers are able to outperform even far more expensive products.
