Description
The MLX90109 is a single chip inductive RFID transmitter-receiver for the 125kHz range. It has been conceived for minimum system cost, and minimum power consumption, whilst offering all required flexibility for a state of the art AM ReadWrite base station. An external L and C are connected as a parallel resonant circuit, which will determine the carrier frequency and the oscillator frequency of the reader. This eliminates zero modulation effects, and avoids the need for an external oscillator. DATA The antenna amplitude can be adjusted CLOCK externally on the fly. This allows straightforward modulation of the antenna amplitude to write to the transponder. The reader IC can easily be switched to power down by switching the antenna amplitude to zero. The MLX90109 can be configured to decode the transponder signal on-chip. In this case the decoded signal is available through a 2-wire interface of clock and data. For minimum interface wiring, the undecoded transponder signal can also be made available on a single wire interface.

A minimum Quality factor is required in order for the reader to recover the transponder signal. The maximum quality factor is not limited, since the transponder signal is picked up even. Antenna driver current is dimensioned, so as to guarantee that for Zant, within the specified range, the antenna driver can act as a perfect current source to drive the resonant circuit. For a typical Zant~L*Q = 1kOhm (e.g. L= 67uH, Q=19), and MODU at 1V, MLX90109 will force 4V antenna amplitude, therefore should supply 4mA current amplitude on the first harmonic sine wave. Duty cycle is 50%, therefore the equivalent DC current consumption for such a system is 1.3mA.

Power up is realized by forcing a current into MODU through the external correction network. This will release an internal strap to VDD of the MODU pin.
4
The MLX90109 goes in power down mode when the MODU pin is brought to VDD.
5
Voltages below Vmodumin, may cause the antenna Voltage to drop below VSS+0.3V. This will degrade the performance of the current driver. There is always a slight overshoot of the antenna voltage due to the antenna resonance.
6
Since the modulation is realized by altering (duty )the duty cycle around the 50% value, the driver current setting influences directly the modulation depth, as Moddepth=Zant*Idrive*duty.

Modulation on the reader antenna is limited towards maximum modulation depth, to prevent the reader from going into power down. Modudepth = (VPPmax-VPPmin)/( VPPmax+VPPmin) Since Vppmin (Vmodu=4.2V)=1.6V, and Vppmax (Vmodu=0.8V)=8.4, modudepthmax=68%.

125kHz RFID Integrated Transceiver
General Description
The MLX90109 is designed for use with a parallel antenna. This set up requires Qantenna times less current compared to traditional serial antennas, for building up the same magnetic field strength. Draw back is that the voltage swing (Vpp) is limited by the applied supply voltage. Vppmax ~ 2* VDD. In practice the antenna driver on the COIL pin limits the voltage swing some more. The MODU pin can regulate Vpp. The voltage level on MODU defines the reference level of the antenna voltage, as follows Vpp ~ 2*(VDD-VMODU) See specifications for VMODU values.
Amplitude detection
The amplitude demodulator of the transceiver detects the AM signal generated by the tag. This signal is filtered and amplified by an on-chip switched capacitor filter before feeding it to the digital decoder. The same signal is used to control the antenna voltage.
Filter settings
By setting the SPEED pin to VDD or to GND the filtering characteristics are optimized for either 2kbaud or 4kbaud respectively.
Digital decoding
The MODE pin allows to define whether to issue directly the filtered data stream on the DATA pin (MODE floating), or to have the MLX90109 decoding Manchester (MODE = VDD) or biphase (MODE = VSS) data. In the decoding mode, the digital receiver gets the filtered data stream and issues the tag data on the DATA pin at the rising edge of the clock, which is issued on the CLOCK pin. Both CLOCK and DATA are open drain outputs and require external pull-ups. Remark that the clockwidth and duty cycle can vary from bit to bit, between a half and one and a half bit periods on the tag coil especially in manchester mode.
Oscillator
The oscillator frequency is locked on the antenna frequency. The clock of the filter is derived from the oscillator. In this way the filter characteristics are locked to the transmission frequency. Consequently the MLX90109 is not sensitive to zero modulation.
Power Down
By setting VMODU = VDD, Antenna Voltage will fade to 0. At that moment MLX90109 stops oscillations, setting the device in power down mode. Wake up time depends on Qantenna, such that increased Q, will lead to increased wake up time. VSS SPEED MODE 4kBaud Biphase FLOAT (*) No decoding VDD 2kBaud Manchester
(*) Internally strapped to VDD/2
Write operation
Not only is the MODU pin used to set the carrier amplitude, it can also be used to put modulation on the carrier for write operations. Taking into account the transfer function of the regulation mechanism, a correction network is required to compensate for the system poles and zeroes. These poles and zero depend not only on internal parameters, but also on the antenna parameters. See annex for calculating the correction network.
Noise cancellation
Capacitance C2 should always be connected to VDD. Noise on VDD is coupled through to MODU, optimizing the power supply rejection ration (PSRR) through internal cancellation. This improves sensitivity in noisy environments. Maximum precautions should however be taken to minimize noise level, to benefit from the reader sensitivity, and obtain the maximum reading distances.

Correction network
For a typical application, where 2kbaud date has to be sent to a transponder using a Manchester or Biphase encoding scheme, the most important harmonics lie in a bandwidth between 400Hz and 3.6kHz. As can be seen from the graphs below, the antenna parameters can significantly reduce the available bandwidth [FL, FH]. With a suitable correction network, the 3dB points can be shifted to extend the possibilities. Important system parameters are data rate, antenna inductance (Lreader) and antenna quality factor (Qreader). In the time domain we optimize the shape of the amplitude modulation on the reader antenna by applying that correction network.
Calculation
In the graph below the transfer function of the MLX90109 is given. * The first Zero (Fi) is determined the by the MLX90109 and is typically 70Hz. * The Poles (FL and FH) are set by the Open loop Gain (G=2mA/V) of the MLX90109 and the Antenna Impedance Zant, which is system dependent. In the graphs below the dependency of both poles on applied inductance and for 2 quality factors are reflected. It is clear that the bandwidth reduces significantly with increase of Qreader. Remark: Amax = G*Zant A correction network with a single pole/zero couple can increase the bandwidth by moving FH to FHH. A more complex correction network with 2 pole/zero couples can also improve the signal loss in case of important low frequency harmonics (DC like signals). In the Frequency domain this means FL is shifted towards Fi

MLX90109 Read/Write demokit:
Above schematic is used in a demokit which allows to * read and write * the MLX90111 with 2cm diameter aircoils * at 2 and 4kbaud, using Manchester and Biphase encoding * up to 7cm whilst consuming only 5mA, inlcuding antenna current. An Atmel microcontroller (AT90S8515) was used to have enough ports to drive a ledbar. Antenna parameters: - Lr= 89uH, Cr= 18nF - Qr=30 - Rpar= Optional parallel resistance
The field of the coil is proportional to the number of windings and to the current flowing through it: H ~ N.I = N.V/(.L) with V the ac voltage across the coil, and .L the impedance of the coil. Furthermore the inductance of the coil is proportional to the square of the number of windings. L = Lo*N2 With Lo the inductance of 1 turn. So H ~ V/(.Lo.N) Reducing the number of turns on the coil is good for improving the field strength as well as for making the construction of the coil easier. Antenna impedance specification is determined by the current that the antenna driver can supply. Outside the specification, the feedback loop will not operate as designed for, and functionality will deteriorate drastically. Zant = Zr // Rpar with Zr = Lr/(Rl*Cr)
Coil design considerations
Let's start from an operation frequency of 120 kHz. In order for the antenna not to get detuned by stray capacitance to ground, it is good not to have a high L value. In this way C is big and the detuning is minimal.

FAQ
1. Since the MLX90109 under the specified working conditions does not influence the antenna resonance frequency, the spread and temperature drift are determined by the discrete antenna components only. 2. The same feature allows significantly detuned transponders to change the resonance frequency in case of good coupling. This can be used to tune the MLX90111 after assembly, to allow use of high Q factors at minimum assembly cost. 3. Q = quality factor of the antenna reflects the ratio between the stored electromagnetic energy vs. the ohmic dissipated energy. Without degrading Rpar: Qreader = (2*pi*Fres*Lr)/Rr Else Rr can often be neglected resulting in: Qreader = Rpar*sqrt(Cr/Lr) 4. Zero Modulation Due to mistuning of the resonance frequency of transponder and reader antennas compared to an external oscillator frequency, the amplitude modulation induced by the transponder on the reader antenna is a mixture of amplitude and phase modulation. At special combinations of the three frequencies a pure phase modulation, or zero (amplitude) modulation occurs. Since the MLX90109 clock is extracted from the antenna resonance frequency it is not susceptible to this phenomenon. 5. The MLX90109 magnetic levels. 6. Modudepth = (VPPmax+VPPmin) is insensitive to DC
Cross Reference
The MLX90109 can replace any integrated frontend base station chip for read write operation to 125kHz transponders in the 125kHz range. All competitive products are with serial antenna, e.g. Marin p4092, or TEMIC U2270B.
