2. Oscillator

Note the following points for design in relation to the oscillator.

•Place the load capacitor close to the crystal resonator electrode.

•Separate the signal lines for the crystal resonator’s pins 26 (XIN) and 27 (XOUT) from those for pin 22 (RFOUT)

by at least 4.5 mm because a narrower separation may lead to an unacceptable level of intermodulation interference.

•We recommend not placing signal lines other than pin 26 (XIN) and pin 27 (XOUT) in the vicinity of the crystal

resonator.

•Separate the ground area for the crystal resonator and load capacitors C5 and C10 from the other ground areas on the

surface layer of the board.

•Connect the wiring between pins 26 (XIN) and 27 (XOUT) on the back of the board through the via holes.

•Before using a crystal resonator, contact the resonator manufacturer to determine its circuit constants.

•When using a neighboring channel of an integral multiple (864 MHz, 912 MHz) of the crystal frequency of 48 MHz,

or when if the distance between pin46(XIN) and pin 47 (XOUT) to pin 43 (RFOUT) can not be increased, insert

the inductor arbitrarily into R3 and R4 according to the clock spurious condition.

Figure 1 shows an example of how to connect a crystal resonator. Figure 2 shows an example of the layout pattern.

Figure 1 Example of How to Connect a Crystal Resonator

Figure 2 Example of Layout Pattern in the Vicinity of the Crystal Resonator

The constants of the load capacitors (C5 and C10) depend on the characteristics of the crystal resonator in use.

Evaluate the oscillation characteristics of the crystal resonator to determine the constants.

3. External Circuit for DC-DC Converter

Note the following points for design in relation to the feedback loop of the DC-DC converter.

•We recommend not placing signal lines in the vicinity of pins 29 (REGIN), 30 (VSSDDC), and 31 (DDCOUT).

•Keep the length of the wiring run between pins 29 (REGIN) and 31 (DDCOUT) as short as possible.

•Place C3 as close to pin 32 (VCCDDC) as is possible.

•C3 and C46 hold the positional relationship of this layout and arrange so that C46 does not get too close to C3.

•Place the board ground from Pin 50 (VSSDDC) in the loop of Pin 49 (REGIN) and Pin 51 (DDCOUT), and place

one or more via.

•Insert the ferrite beads (FB1) arbitrarily according to the noise condition caused by the DC-DC converter.

Figure 3 shows an example of the feedback loop circuit of the DC-DC converter. Figure 4 shows an example of the

layout pattern.

4. RF Signal Lines

Note the following points for design in relation to the circuit in the vicinity of the RF signal lines.

•Design the RF signal lines as coplanar lines and also as having an impedance of 50 Ω.

•Place as many via holes around the coplanar lines as is possible. The areas around and between the coplanar lines

should be solid stretches of ground with no signal connections.

•The ground for C16, C17, and C18 should be isolated from those for pins 26 (XIN) and 27 (XOUT), so C16, C17

and C18 should be connected to the same stretch of ground as pin 21 (AGNDRF1) or 19 (RFIN). The ground of C15

should be taken from pin 23 (AGNDRF2) side.

•Pin 21 (AGNDRF1) should be connected to the board ground between pins 20 (RFIP) and 22 (RFOUT).

Figure 5 shows an example of the layout pattern in the vicinity of the RF signal lines.

5. Digital Signal Lines

Note the following points for design in relation to the circuit in the vicinity of the digital signal lines.

•We recommend not placing wiring for pins 3 (SIN), 4 (SOUT), 5 (SCLK), 6 (SEN), and 9 (INTOUT) under the IC,

in the vicinity of the RF signal lines, or in the vicinity of pins 29 (REGIN), 30 (VSSDDC), 31 (DDCOUT), and 32

(VCCDDC).

•Keep the digital signal lines as short as possible to reduce digital noise. We recommend inserting series resistors as

required. In that case must be placed R16, R18, and R19 on the MCU side and R17 and R20 on the RAA604S00

side.

Figure 6 shows an example of the layout pattern in the vicinity of the digital signal lines.

6. Power Supply

Note the following points for design in relation to the power supply circuit.

•Place the bypass capacitors on the surface layer of the board and as close as possible to the pins.

•Place the ground of C14, C56 as closely as possible to pin 23 (AGNDRF2).

•Separate the grounds for C26, C27, and C55 from the surface layer of the board and insert the slit from base of the

pins on the back layer, to avoid interference from the signal on pin 20 (RFIN). Place them as far as possible from the

RF signal lines.

•We recommend not placing signal lines in the vicinity of pins 28 (VCCRF) and 32 (VCCDDC).

•Make the wiring as thick as possible to keep the impedance low.

•Make sure that the RF GND is not divided by the wiring of the power supply line.

•Place a via hole for each bypass capacitor.

•We recommend not placing via holes between the IC and bypass capacitors.

Figure 7 shows an example of how to place the bypass capacitors.

Note: The level of generated noise depends on the implementation of the board. Add bypass capacitors as

required (this figure is merely an example).

7. Ground Pattern

Note the following points for design in relation to the ground pattern.

•Place as many via holes as possible to create short circuits with ground patterns in other layers. This helps keep the

impedance low.

•Connect pins 17 (MODE2), 18 (MODE1), 19 (RFIN), 21 (AGNDRF1), 23 (AGNDRF2), and 30 (VSSDDC) to the

die pad. Note that the via holes for the ground pattern should not be placed near pin 30 (VSSDDC).

•We recommend not placing signal lines under the die pad if the signals may be active during transmission and

reception.
