6.14.3.2.8 Modulator and SYS_CLK Control Register (0x09)

The frequency of SYS_CLK (pin 27) is programmable by the bits B4 and B5 of this register. The frequency of the TRF7964A system clock oscillator is divided by 1, 2 or 4 resulting in available SYS_CLK frequencies of 13.56 MHz or 6.78 MHz or 3.39 MHz.

The ASK modulation depth is controlled by bits B0, B1 and B2. The range of ASK modulation is 7% to 30% or 100% (OOK). The selection between ASK and OOK (100%) modulation can also be done using direct input OOK (pin 12). The direct control of OOK/ASK using OOK pin is only possible if the function is enabled by setting B6 = 1 (en_ook_p) in this register (0x09) and the ISO Control Register (0x01, B6 = 1). When configured this way, the MOD (pin 14) is used as input for the modulation signal.

Table 6-30 describes the Modulator and SYS_CLK Control register.

Table 6-30 Modulator and SYS_CLK Control Register (0x09)

Function: Controls the modulation input and depth, ASK / OOK control and clock output to external system (MCU)
Default: 0x91 at POR = H or EN = L, and at each write to ISO control register, except Clo1 and Clo0.
Bit Name Function Description
B7 27MHz Enables 27.12-MHz crystal Default = 1 (enabled)
B6 en_ook_p 1 = Enables external selection of ASK or OOK modulation
0 = Default operation as defined in B0 to B2 (0x09)

Enable ASK/OOK pin (pin 12) for "on the fly change" between any preselected ASK modulation as defined by B0 to B2 and OOK modulation:

If B6 is 1, pin 12 is configured as follows:

1 = OOK modulation

0 = Modulation as defined in B0 to B2 (0x09)
B5 Clo1 SYS_CLK output frequency MSB Clo1 Clo0 SYS_CLK Output (if 13.56-MHz crystal is used) SYS_CLK Output (if 27.12-MHz crystal is used)
0 0 Disabled Disabled
0 1 3.39 MHz 6.78 MHz
B4 Clo0 SYS_CLK output frequency LSB 1 0 6.78 MHz 13.56 MHz
1 1 13.56 MHz 27.12 MHz
B3 en_ana 1 = Sets pin 12 (ASK/OOK) as an analog output
0 = Default		 For test and measurement purpose. ASK/OOK pin 12 can be used to monitor the analog subcarrier signal before the digitizing with DC level equal to AGND.
