AS3930
Single Channel Low Frequency Wakeup Receiver
1 General Description
The AS3930 is a single-channel low power ASK receiver that is able
to generate a wake-up upon detection of a data signal which uses a
LF carrier frequency between 110 - 150 kHz. The integrated
correlator can be used for detection of a programmable 16-bit wake-
up pattern.
The AS3930 provides a digital RSSI value, it supports a
programmable data rate. The AS3930 offers a real-time clock (RTC),
which is either derived from a crystal oscillator or the internal RC
oscillator.
The programmable features of AS3930 enable to optimize its
settings for achieving a longer distance while retaining a reliable
wake-up generation. The sensitivity level of AS3930 can be adjusted
in presence of a strong field or in noisy environments. The device is
available in a 16-pin TSSOP package.
