Notice
 The time required until a stable DO is established may get longer due to the possible frequency drift
caused by operation environment changes, especially when switching from TX to RX, from RX to TX and
changing channels. Please make sure to optimize the timing. The recommended preamble is more than
20 ms.
 Antenna connection is designed as pin connection.
 RF output power, sensitivity, spurious emission and spurious radiation levels may vary with the pattern
used between the RF pin and the coaxial connection. Please make sure to verify those parameters
before use.
 The feet of the shield case should be soldered to the wide GND pattern to avoid any change in
characteristics.
Notes about the specification values
*1 BER: RF level where no error per 2556 bits is confirmed with the signal of PN9 and 4800 bps.
*2 BER (1 % error) : RF level where 1% error per 2556 bits is confirmed with the signal of PN9 and 4800 bps.
*3 Spurious response, CH selectivity: The deviation of the unwanted signal is 12% of the channel separation
(=1.5kHz). Modulation frequency is 400Hz.
*4 Time until valid Data-out : Valid DO is determined at the point where Bit Error Rate meter starts detecting
the signal of 4800 bps, 1010repeated signal.
All specifications are specified based on the data measured in a shield room using the PLL setting controller
board prepared by Circuit Design.

LMD-400-R is equipped with an internal PLL frequency synthesizer as shown in Figure 1. The operation of
the PLL circuit enables the VCO to oscillate at a stable frequency. Transmission frequency is set externally by
the controlling IC. LMD-400-R has control terminals (CLK, LE, DATA) for the PLL IC and the setting data is
sent to the internal register serially via the data line. Also LMD-400-R has a Lock Detect (LD) terminal that
shows the lock status of the frequency. These signal lines are connected directly to the PLL IC through a 2 kΩ
resistor.
The interface voltage of LMD-400-R is 2.8 V, so the control voltage must be the same.
LMD-400-R comes equipped with a Fujitsu MB15E03SL PLL IC. Please refer to the manual of the PLL IC.
The following is a supplementary description related to operation with LMD-400-R. In this description, the
same names and terminology as in the PLL IC manual are used, so please read the manual beforehand.

How to calculate the setting values for the PLL register
The PLL IC manual shows that the PLL frequency setting value is obtained with the following equation.
fvco = [(M x N)+A] x fosc / R
-- Equation 1
fvco : Output frequency of external VCO
M: Preset divide ratio of the prescaler (64 or 128)
N: Preset divide ratio of binary 11-bit programmable counter (3 to 2,047)
A: Preset divide ratio of binary 7-bit swallow counter (0 ≤ A ≤ 127 A= 100 ns
t1,t2,t6 >= 20 ns
t3,t4 >= 30 ns
t4
t5
#: Keep the LE terminal at a low level, w hen w rite the data to the shift resister.
The PLL IC, which operates as shown in the block diagram in the manual, shifts the data to the 19-bit shift
register and then transfers it to the respective latch (counter, register) by judging the CNT control bit value
input at the end.
1. CLK [Clock]: Data is shifted into the shift register on the rising edge of this clock.
2. LE [Load Enable]: Data in the 19-bit shift register is transferred to respective latches on the rising edge of
the clock. The data is transferred to a latch according to the control bit CNT value.
3. Data [Serial Data]: You can perform either reference counter setup or programmable counter setup first.

OPERATION GUIDE
TIMING CHART
Control timing in a typical application is shown in Figure 3.
Initial setting of the port connected to the radio module is performed when power is supplied by the CPU and
reset is completed. MOS-FET for supply voltage control of the radio module, RXSEL and TXSEL are set to
inactive to avoid unwanted emissions. The power supply of the radio module is then turned on. When the
radio module is turned on, the PLL internal resistor is not yet set and the peripheral VCO circuit is unstable.
Therefore data transmission and reception is possible 40 ms after the setting data is sent to the PLL at the
first change of channel, however from the second change of channel, the circuit stabilizes within 20 ms and is
able to handle the data.
Changing channels must be carried out in the receive mode. If switching is performed in transmission mode,
unwanted emission occurs.
If the module is switched to the receive mode when operating in the same channel, (a new PLL setting is not
necessary) it can receive data within 5 ms of switching*1. For data transmission, if the RF channel to be used
for transmission is set while still in receiving mode, data can be sent at 5 ms after the radio module is
switched from reception to transmission*2.
Check that the Lock Detect signal is “high” 20 ms after the channel is changed. In some cases the Lock
Detect signal becomes unstable before the lock is correctly detected, so it is necessary to note if processing
of the signal is interrupted. It is recommended to observe the actual waveform before writing the process
program.
*1
DC offset may occur due to frequency drift caused by ambient temperature change. Under conditions
below -10 °C, 10 to 20 ms delay of DO output is estimated. The customer is urged to verify operation at low
temperature and optimize the timing.
*2
Sending ‘10101…..’ preamble just after switching to transmission mode enables smoother operation of the
binarization circuit of the receiver. Preamble length: -20 °C - +60 °C: 15 ms (Typical)

 Ensure that the power supply for the radio module is within the specified rating. Short circuits and reverse
connections may result in overheating and damage and must be avoided at all costs.
 Ensure that the power supply has been switched off before attempting any wiring work.
 The case is connected to the GND terminal of the internal circuit, so do not make contact between the '+' side of
the power supply terminal and the case.
 When batteries are used as the power source, avoid short circuits, recharging, dismantling, and pressure. Failure
to observe this caution may result in the outbreak of fire, overheating and damage to the equipment. Remove the
batteries when the equipment is not to be used for a long period of time. Failure to observe this caution may
result in battery leaks and damage to the equipment.
 Do not use this equipment in vehicles with the windows closed, in locations where it is subject to direct sunlight,
or in locations with extremely high humidity.
 The radio module is neither waterproof nor splash proof. Ensure that it is not splashed with soot or water. Do not
