SWRS031A–OCTOBER 2005–REVISED DECEMBER 2005
Fully Integrated Analog Front-End Dual Receiver Base
Unit for 27-MHz Wireless Mouse and Keyboard Systems
FEATURES
DESCRIPTION
•
23 Discrete Components Intgrated Into One
Chip
The TRF7900A is a dual integrated RF transceiver
designed for Human Interface Devices (HID).
Operating at 27 MHz, it integrates multiple
components (PLL, RF mixer, simulated SAW filter,

components) to provide frequency selection from 8
discrete channels. This integration lowers component,
manufacturing and system costs.
•
•
Integrated Phase Locked Loop
8 User-Selectable Frequencies
The TRF7900A simplifies system design by reducing
system component count and manual circuit tuning.
By integrating the PLL, SAW filter, and RF mixer, the
TRF7900A eliminates the manual tuning of RLC
circuits required in traditional implementations.
– Each Channel (Mouse and Keyboard) Can
Independently Select Any of the Available
Frequencies
•
•
Internally Generated 6-MHz Clock to Drive
USB Microcontroller
The receiver also generates 8 frequencies that can
be programmatically selected via the I2C interface
bus for both the mouse channel and/or the keyboard
channel. Another 6-MHz clock is internally generated
to clock the USB microcontroller; this enables a
single crystal to be used to supply the clock needs for
the receiver channels and the microcontroller.
High Data Throughput Rate
– 5-kHz Square Wave Simultaneously per
Channel
– 10 kbps Miller Encoded Data
I2C Control Interface
•
•
•
•
The optimized receiver design enables simultaneous
reception on both parallel channels up to 5 kHz (10
kbps Miller encoding) per channel. A receive strength
signal indicator register can be read via the I2C bus to
determine if the transmit signal is too weak (weak
battery or too far), or if there is too much noise on the
selected channel in the user's area.
