4. Functional Description
4.1 Operation Modes
There are two different operation modes for the ATA5276:
Standby mode
Transmission mode
4.2 Standby Mode and Wake-up
After power-on-reset, the ATA5276 is in standby mode. For minimum power consumption, only
the internal 5V supply and the DIO line interface are active. The IC can be activated by the exter-
nal control unit via the serial interface. The DIO line is called logic high if it is pulled up to the
VDIO voltage level. The DIO line is called logic low if it is pulled down to the VSS voltage level. A
low signal at the DIO line wakes-up the IC.
The circuit enters the standby mode if either of these three conditions are fulfilled:
1. After power-on-reset and the DIO is high (see Figure 4-1)
2. After a time out of T
OUTL
(1)
during which DIO is permanently low (see Figure 4-3 on
page 5)
3. After a time out of T
OUTH
(2)
during which DIO is permanently high and an acknowledge

(see Figure 4-2)
Notes: 1. Time does not depend on the antenna resonance frequency.
2. Time depends on the antenna resonance frequency.

4.3 Transmission Mode
4.3.1 ASK Modulation
For the transmission of a wake-up signal or data to a receiver, the ATA5276 generates a
antenna resonance synchronized signal at the antenna driver output (DRV pin). A connected LC
antenna radiates a magnetic field. For the data transmission the field can be 100% amplitude
modulated by the DIO interface input. If a low level signal is applied at the DIO pin, the driver
generates a square wave signal DRV for the antenna. If a high level signal is applied at the DIO
pin the driver is stopped and switched to ground. In this way ASK modulated data can be trans-
mitted (see Figure 4-4).
Figure 4-4. Data Transmission
4.3.2 Anti-bouncing Filter in Transmission Mode
The DIO input signal is delayed for a anti-bouncing time.
The driver is switched on after a delay time of T
DL
(typically 64 µs) if the DIO is pulled to a low
level continuously. The driver is switched-off after a delay time of T
DH
if the DIO is pulled to high
level.
The T
DH
time depends on the antenna resonance frequency, suppressing short disturbance
pulses from the DIO line.

4.3.3 Time Out and Time Out Reset
The IC has a time out supervisor for the interface line to avoid unintended continuous transmis-
sion in case of line errors. The time out timer runs if the DIO pin is pulled to a low level. If the DIO
pin is permanently low for more than the time T
OUTL
the driver is switched off and the IC enters
the standby mode. This avoids the discharging of the supply battery if the DIO line has a failure
like a body contact or another permanent low level failure. The time T
OUTL
depends on the
antenna resonance frequency.
Figure 4-6. Time Out and Time Out Reset Protocol
For continuous transmission periods the internal time out timer must be reset within the time out
reset period T
ORP
with a short high pulse of length T
OR
at DIO. Any transmission time periods
can be made by cyclical resetting of the time out timer (see Figure 4-6). The time T
ORP
and T
OR
depends on the antenna resonance frequency.
4.3.4 Transmission Acknowledge and Error Signal
If no failure is detected during a transmission sequence the IC acknowledges the transmission
by pulling the DIO line to low level for time T
ACK
(typically 256 µs). The acknowledge signal is
generated at the end of a transmission sequence if the DIO line was high for the time T
OUTH
(typ-
ically 16 ms).
Their are two types of error detection (see section “Diagnosis and Protectionon page 8):
Immediate switch-off of the driver stage
The failure is indicated through the DIO line based on transmission acknowledge and Error
signal
At the end of transmission the IC indicates the failure by an error signal by pulling the DIO line to
a low level for time T
ERR
(typically 128 µs) instead of T
ACK
.
With the acknowledge and the error signal a connected microcontroller is able to recognize fail-
ures of the IC or the antenna module as well as DIO line failures like a broken wire or a short
circuit.
