4.4 Transmit Burst Operation (Digital Mode)
In the digital mode, the TCM4300 performs all encoding, signal processing, and power ramping for the burst.
Start and stop timing of the variable length bursts are set by means of the TXGO bit in the DStatCtrl
register. The SINT interrupt output interrupts the DSP at 48.6 kHz which is T/2 interval (T = 1 symbol
period = 1/24.3 kHz). The burst is initiated by the DSP writing 1 to 5 dibits to the TXI register, a small
positive-delay offset value d to the base station (BST) register, and a 1 to the TXGO bit in the DStatCtrl
register.
The TXGO bit is sampled on the falling edge of SINT. The transmit outputs are held at zero differential
voltage (each output terminal is held at the voltage supplied to the VCM input terminal) for 9.5 SINT periods
(195.5 µs) plus BST offset delay after SINT has detected TXGO high; then the transmit outputs begin to ramp
to the initial π/4 DQPSK constellation value. The shape of the ramp is the transient resulting from the internal
SQRC filtering. At the same time that the transmit outputs are beginning to ramp, the PAEN digital output
goes high. This output can enable the power amplifier of a cellular radio transmitter. The TCM4300 transmit
outputs reach the first π/4 DQPSK constellation value (maximum effect point, MEP) 6 SINT periods (3
symbol periods) after the start of the ramp.
The bit stream to be encoded as π/4 DQPSK symbols is generated by right shifts on each SINT of the TXI
register with bit 0 (LSB) used first.
Previously written data continues to propagate through the TCM4300 internal filters until the last π /4 DQPSK
constellation value (last MEP) occurs at the transmit outputs 15.5 SINT periods (318.9 µs) plus BST offset
