FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION  
Introduction  
provided by the PCD5003A such as battery-low and  
out-of-range indications. A dedicated interrupt line  
minimizes the required microcontroller activity.  
7.1  
The PCD5003A is a very low power decoder and pager  
controller specifically designed for use in new generation  
radio pagers. The architecture of the PCD5003A allows for  
flexible application in a wide variety of radio pager designs.  
A selectable low frequency timing reference is provided for  
use in real-time clock functions.  
Data synchronization is achieved by the Philips patented  
ACCESS algorithm ensuring that maximum advantage is  
made of the POCSAG code structure particularly in fading  
radio signal conditions. The algorithm allows for data  
synchronization without preamble detection whilst  
minimizing battery power consumption.  
The PCD5003A is fully compatible with “CCIR Radio  
paging Code No. 1” (also known as the POCSAG code)  
operating at data rates of 512, 1200 and 2400 bits/s using  
a single oscillator crystal of 76.8 kHz.  
In addition to the standard POCSAG sync word the  
PCD5003A is also capable of recognizing up to 4 User  
Programmable Sync Words (UPSWs). This permits the  
reception of both private services and POCSAG  
transmissions via the same radio channel.  
Random and (optional) burst error correction techniques  
are applied to the received data to optimize on call success  
rate without increasing falsing rate beyond specified  
POCSAG levels.  
Used together with the Philips UAA2080 or UAA2082  
paging receiver, the PCD5003A offers a highly  
sophisticated, miniature solution for the radio paging  
market. Control of an RF synthesizer circuit is also  
provided to ease alignment and channel selection.  
7.2  
The POCSAG paging code  
A transmission using the “CCIR Radio paging Code No. 1”  
(POCSAG code) is constructed in accordance with the  
following rules (see Fig.3).  
On-chip EEPROM provides storage for user addresses  
(Receiver Identity Codes or RICs) and Special  
The transmission is started by sending a preamble,  
consisting of at least 576 continuously alternating bits  
(10101010...). The preamble is followed by an arbitrary  
number of batch blocks. Only complete batches are  
transmitted.  
Programmed Functions (SPFs), which eliminates the need  
for external storage devices and interconnection. For other  
non-volatile storage 20 bytes of general purpose  
EEPROM are available. The low EEPROM programming  
voltage makes the PCD5003A well suited for ‘over-the-air’  
programming/reprogramming.  
Each batch comprises 17 code-words of 32 bits each.  
The first code-word is a synchronization code-word with a  
fixed pattern. The sync word is followed by 8 frames  
(0 to 7) of 2 code-words each, containing message  
information. A code-word in a frame can either be an  
address, message or idle code-word.  
On request from an external controlling device or  
automatically (by SPF programming), the PCD5003A will  
provide standard POCSAG alert cadences by driving a  
standard acoustic ‘beeper’. Non-standard alert cadences  
may be generated via a cadence register or a dedicated  
control input.  
Idle code-words also have a fixed pattern and are used to  
fill empty frames or to separate messages.  
Address code-words are identified by an MSB of logic 0  
and are coded as shown in Fig.3. A user address or RIC  
consists of 21 bits. Only the upper 18 bits are encoded in  
the address code-word (bits 2 to 19). The lower 3 bits  
designate the frame number (0 to 7) in which the address  
is transmitted.  
The PCD5003A can also produce a HIGH-level acoustic  
alert as well as drive an LED indicator and a vibrator motor  
via external bipolar transistors.  
The PCD5003A contains a low-power, high-efficiency  
voltage converter (doubler) designed to provide a higher  
voltage supply to LCD drivers or microcontrollers.  
In addition, an independent level shifted interface is  
provided allowing communication to a microcontroller  
operating at a higher voltage than the PCD5003A.  
Four different call types (‘numeric’, ‘alphanumeric’ and  
two ‘alert only’ types) can be distinguished on each user  
address. The call type is determined by two function bits in  
the address code-word (bits 20 and 21), as shown in  
Table 1.  
Interface to such an external device is provided by an  
I2C-bus which allows received call identity and message  
data, data for the programming of the internal EEPROM,  
alert control and pager status information to be transferred

Philips Semiconductors  
Product specification  
Enhanced Pager Decoder for POCSAG  
PCD5003A  
Alert-only calls only consist of a single address code-word.  
Numeric and alphanumeric calls have message  
code-words following the address. A message causes the  
frame structure to be temporarily suspended. Message  
code-words are sent until the message is completed, with  
only the sync words being transmitted in their expected  
positions.  
The POCSAG standard recommends the use of  
combinations of data formats and function bits, as given in  
Table 1. Other (non-standard) combinations will be  
received normally by the PCD5003A. Message data is not  
deformatted.  
In the PCD5003A error correction methods have been  
implemented as shown in Table 2.  
Message code-words are identified by an MSB of logic 1  
and are coded as shown in Fig.3. The message  
information is stored in a 20-bit field (bits 2 to 21). The data  
format is determined by the call type: 4 bits per digit for  
numeric messages and 7 bits per (ASCII) character for  
alphanumeric messages.  
Random error correction is default for both address and  
message code-words. In addition, burst error correction  
can be enabled by SPF programming. Up to 3 erroneous  
bits in a 4-bit burst can be corrected.  
The error type detected for each code-word is identified in  
the message data output to the microcontroller, allowing  
rejection of calls with too many errors.  
Each code-word is protected against transmission errors  
by 10 CRC check bits (bits 22 to 31) and an even-parity bit  
(bit 32). This permits correction of maximum 2 random  
errors or up to 3 errors in a burst of 4 bits (a 4-bit burst  
error) per code-word.

Operating states  
7.6  
OFF status  
The PCD5003A has 2 operating states:  
ON status  
In OFF status the decoder will neither activate the receiver  
or oscillator enable outputs, nor process any data at the  
data input. The crystal oscillator remains active to permit  
communication with the microcontroller.  
OFF status.  
The operating state is determined by a Direct Control input  
(DON) and bit D4 in the control register (see Table 3).  
In both operating states an accurate timing reference is  
available via the REF output. By SPF programming the  
signal periodicity may be selected as 32.768 kHz, 50 Hz,  
2 Hz or 160 Hz.

Reset  
The decoder can be reset by applying a positive pulse on  
input pin RST. A power-on reset circuit consisting of an  
RC network can be connected to this input as well.  
Conditions during and after a reset are described in  
Chapter “Operating instructions”.

For successful reset at power-on, a HIGH level must be  
present on the RST pin while the device is powering-up.  
This can be applied by the microcontroller, or via a suitable  
RC power-on reset circuit connected to the RST input.  
Reset circuit details and conditions during and after a reset  
are described in Chapter 8.  
7.5  
ON status  
In ON status the decoder pulses the receiver and oscillator  
enable outputs (respectively RXE and ROE) according to  
the code structure and the synchronization algorithm. Data  
received serially at the data input (RDI) is processed for  
call receipt. Reception of a valid paging call is signalled to  
the microcontroller by means of an interrupt signal.  
The received address and message data can then be read  
via the I2C-bus interface.

This is possible with the UAA2082 receiver which has  
external biasing for the oscillator circuit.  
7.8  
Bit rates  
The PCD5003A can be configured for data rates of 512,  
1200 or 2400 bits/s by SPF programming. These data  
rates are derived from a single 76.8 kHz oscillator  
frequency.  
7.12 Synchronization strategy  
In ON status the PCD5003A synchronizes to the POCSAG  
data stream by means of the Philips ACCESS algorithm.  
A flow diagram is shown in Fig.4. Where ‘sync word’ is  
used, this implies both the standard POCSAG sync word  
and any enabled User Programmable Sync Word  
(UPSW).  
7.9  
Oscillator  
The oscillator circuit is designed to operate at 76.8 kHz.  
Typically, a tuning fork crystal will be used as a frequency  
source. Alternatively, an external clock signal can be  
applied to pin XTAL1 (amplitude = VDD to VSS), but a  
slightly higher oscillator current is consumed. A 2.2 MΩ  
feedback resistor connected between XTAL1 and XTAL2  
is required for proper operation.  
Several modes of operation can be distinguished  
depending on the synchronization state. Each mode uses  
a different method to obtain or retain data synchronization.  
The receiver and oscillator enable outputs (respectively  
RXE and ROE) are switched accordingly, with the  
appropriate establishment times (respectively tRXON and  
tROON).  
To allow easy oscillator adjustment (e.g. by means of a  
variable capacitor) a 32.768 kHz reference frequency can  
be selected at output REF by SPF programming.  
Before comparing received data with preamble, an  
enabled sync word or programmed user addresses, the  
appropriate error correction is applied.  
7.10 Input data processing  
Data input is binary and fully asynchronous. Input bit rates  
of 512, 1200 and 2400 bits/s are supported. As a  
programmable option, the polarity of the received data can  
be inverted before further processing.  
Initially, after switching to ON status, the decoder is in  
switch-on mode. Here the receiver will be enabled for a  
period up to 3 batches, testing for preamble and sync  
word. Failure to detect preamble or sync word will cause  
switching to ‘carrier off’ mode.  
The input data is noise filtered by means of a digital filter.  
Data is sampled at 16 times the data rate and averaged by  
majority decision.  
Detection of preamble switches to preamble receive  
mode, in which sync word is looked for. The receiver will  
remain enabled while preamble is detected. When neither  
sync word nor preamble is found within 1 batch duration  
‘carrier off’ mode is entered.  
The filtered data is used to synchronize an internal clock  
generator by monitoring transitions. The recovered clock  
phase can be adjusted in steps of 18 or 132 bit period per  
received bit.  
Upon detection of a sync word the data receive mode is  
entered. The receiver is activated only during enabled user  
address frames and sync word periods. When an enabled  
user address has been detected, the receiver will be kept  
enabled for message code-word reception until the call  
termination criteria are met.  
The larger step size is used when bit synchronization has  
not been achieved, the smaller when a valid data  
sequence has been detected (e.g. preamble or sync  
word).  
7.11 Battery saving  
During call reception data bytes are stored in an internal  
SRAM buffer, capable of storing 2 batches of message  
data.  
Current consumption is reduced by switching off internal  
decoder sections whenever the receiver is not enabled.  
To further increase battery efficiency, reception and  
decoding of an address code-word is stopped as soon as  
the uncorrected address field differs by more than 3 bits  
from the enabled RICs. If the next code-word must be  
received again, the receiver is re-enabled thus observing  
Messages are transmitted contiguously, only interrupted  
by sync words at the beginning of each batch. When a  
message extends beyond the end of a batch, no testing for  
sync takes place. Instead, a message data transfer will be  
initiated by an interrupt to the external controller. Data  
reception continues normally after a period corresponding  
to the sync word duration.  
the programmed establishment times tRXE and tRDE  
.
The current consumption of the complete pager can be  
minimized by separately activating the RF oscillator circuit  
(at output ROE) before activating the rest of the receiver.

Philips Semiconductors  
Product specification  
Enhanced Pager Decoder for POCSAG  
PCD5003A  
If any message code-word is found to be uncorrectable,  
‘data-fail’ mode is entered and no data transfer will be  
attempted at the next sync word position. Instead, a test for  
sync word will be carried out.  
The type of error correction as well as the call termination  
conditions are indicated by status bits in the message data  
output.  
In the event of the terminating code-word matching an  
enabled RIC, a concatenated call will be started with the  
call header replacing the terminator of the previous call.  
In the data fail mode message reception continues  
normally for 1 batch duration. Upon detection of sync word  
at the expected position the decoder returns to  
‘data receive’ mode. If sync word again fails to appear,  
batch synchronization is deemed lost. Call reception is  
then terminated and ‘fade recovery’ mode is entered.  
Following call termination, transfer of the data received  
since the previous sync word period is initiated by means  
of an interrupt to the external controller.  
The fade recovery mode is intended to scan for sync word  
and preamble over an extended window (nominal  
position ±8 bits).  
7.14 Enhanced call termination  
The PCD5003A provides an enhanced mode of call  
termination which is enabled by setting SPF byte 3, bit D7.  
When enabled, the following call termination conditions  
apply, in addition to those listed in Section 7.15.  
This is done for a period of up to 15 batches, allowing  
recovery of synchronization from long fades in the radio  
signal. Detection of preamble switches to  
‘preamble receive’ mode, while sync word detection  
switches to ‘data receive’ mode. When neither is found  
within a period of 15 batches, the radio signal is  
considered lost and ‘carrier off’ mode is entered.  
Reception of two consecutive code-words (excluding  
sync word), each of which are either uncorrectable or an  
address code-word with more than one bit in error.  
7.15 Call data output format  
The purpose of carrier off mode is to detect a valid radio  
transmission and synchronize to it quickly and efficiently.  
Because transmissions may start at random, the decoder  
enables the receiver for 1 code-word in every  
18 code-words looking for preamble or sync word.  
By using a buffer containing 32 bits (n bits from the current  
scan, 32 n from the previous scan) effectively every  
batch bit position can be tested within a continuous  
transmission of at least 18 batches. Detection of preamble  
switches to ‘preamble receive’ mode, while sync word  
detection switches to ‘data receive’ mode.  
POCSAG call information is stored in the decoder SRAM  
in blocks of 3 bytes per code-word. Each stored call  
consists of a call header, followed by message data blocks  
and concluded by a call terminator. In the event of  
concatenated messages the call terminator is replaced  
with the call header of the next message. An alert-only call  
only has a call header and a call terminator.  
The formats of a call header, a message data block and a  
call terminator are shown in Tables 4, 6 and 8.  
A Call Header contains information on the last sync word  
received, the RIC which began call reception and the type  
of error correction performed on the address code-word.  
7.13 Call termination  
Call reception is terminated:  
A Message Data block contains the data bits from a  
message code-word plus the type of error correction  
performed. No deformatting is done on the data bits:  
numeric data appear as 4-bit groups per digit,  
Upon reception of any address code-word (including idle  
code-word) requiring no more than single bit error  
correction  
alphanumeric data have a 7-bit ASCII representation.  
Upon reception of a correctable address code-word  
(error type other than ‘111’; see Table 10) that matches  
an enabled RIC  
The Call Terminator contains information on the last sync  
word received, information on the way the call was  
terminated (forced call termination command, loss of sync  
word in ‘data fail’ mode) and the type of error correction  
performed on the terminating code-word.  
When a forced call termination command is received  
from an external controller.  
In ‘data fail’ mode, when a sync word is not found at the  
expected batch position.  
The last method permits an external controller to stop call  
reception depending on the number and type of errors  
which occurred in a call. After a forced call termination the  
decoder will enter ‘data fail’ mode.

7.16 Sync word indication  
7.18 Data transfer  
The sync word recognized by the PCD5003A is shown in  
the call header (bits S3 to S1). The decimal value  
represents the identifier number in the EEPROM of the  
UPSW in question. A value of 7 indicates the standard  
POCSAG sync word.  
Data transfer is initiated either during sync word periods or  
as soon as the receiver is disabled after call termination.  
If the SRAM buffer is full, data transfer is initiated  
immediately during the next code-word.  
When the PCD5003A is ready to transfer received call  
data an external interrupt will be generated via output INT.  
Any message data can be read by accessing the RAM  
output register via the I2C-bus interface. Bytes will be  
output starting from the position indicated by the RAM read  
pointer.  
7.17 Error type indication  
Table 10 shows how the different types of detected errors  
are encoded in the call data output format.  
A message code-word containing more than a single bit  
error (bit E3 = 1) may appear as an address code-word  
(bit M1 = 0) after error correction. In this event the  
code-word is processed as message data and does not  
cause call termination.

call termination mode) or when a sync word is not detected  
while in the ‘data fail’ mode.  
7.20 External receiver control and monitoring  
An external controller may enable the receiver control  
outputs continuously via an I2C-bus command, overruling  
the normal enable pattern. Data reception continues  
normally. This mode can be left by means of a reset or an  
I2C-bus command.  
7.19 Receiver and oscillator control  
A paging receiver and an RF oscillator circuit can be  
controlled independently via enable outputs RXE and ROE  
respectively. Their operating periods are optimized  
according to the synchronization mode of the decoder.  
Each enable signal has its own programmable  
establishment time (see Table 11).  
External monitoring of the receiver control output RXE is  
possible via bit D6 in the status register, when enabled via  
the control register (D2 = 1). Each change of state of  
output RXE will generate an external interrupt at output  
INT.

When using the UAA2080 pager receiver a battery-low  
condition corresponds to a logic HIGH-level. With a  
different sense circuit the reverse polarity can be used as  
well, because every change of state is signalled to an  
external controller.  
7.22 Battery condition input  
A logic signal from an external sense circuit signalling  
battery condition can be applied to the BAT input. This  
input is sampled each time the receiver is disabled  
(RXE 0).  
After a reset the initial condition of the battery-low indicator  
in the status register is zero.  
When enabled via the control register (D2 = 0), the  
condition of input BAT is reflected in bit D6 of the status  
register. Each change of state of bit D6 causes an external  
interrupt at output INT.

7.24 Serial microcontroller interface  
Note  
The PCD5003A has an I2C-bus serial microcontroller  
interface capable of operating at 400 kbits/s.  
The PCD5003A is a slave transceiver with a 7-bit I2C-bus  
address 39 (bits A6 to A0 = 0100111). Together with the  
R/W bit the first byte of an I2C-bus message then becomes  
4EH (write) or 4FH (read).  
1. The exact values may differ slightly from the above  
values, depending on the bit rate (see Table 22).  
7.23 Synthesizer control  
Control of an external frequency synthesizer is possible  
via a dedicated 3-line serial interface (outputs ZSD,  
ZSC and ZLE). This interface is common to a number of  
available synthesizers. The synthesizer is enabled using  
the oscillator enable output ROE.  
Data transmission requires 2 lines: SDA (serial data) and  
SCL (serial clock), each with an external pull-up resistor.  
The clock signal (SCL) for any data transmission must be  
generated by the external controlling device.  
The frequency parameters must be programmed in  
EEPROM. Two blocks of maximum 24 bits each can be  
stored. Any unused bits must be programmed at the  
beginning of a block: only the last bits are used by the  
synthesizer.  
A transmission is initiated by a START condition  
(S: SCL = 1, SDA = ) and terminated by a STOP  
condition (P: SCL = 1, SDA = ).  
Data bits must be stable when SCL is HIGH. If there are  
multiple transmissions, the STOP condition can be  
replaced with a new START condition.  
When the function is selected by SPF programming  
(SPF byte 01, bit D6), data is transferred to the  
synthesizer each time the PCD5003A is switched from  
OFF to ON status. Transfer takes place serially in two  
blocks, starting with bit 0 (MSB) of block 1 (see Table 25).  
Data is transferred on a byte basis, starting with a device  
address and a read/write indicator. Each transmitted byte  
must be followed by an acknowledge bit ACK  
(active LOW). If a receiving device is not ready to accept  
the next complete byte, it can force a bus wait state by  
holding SCL LOW.  
Data bits on ZSD change on the falling flanks of ZSC. After  
clocking all bits into the synthesizer, a latch enable pulse  
copies the data to the internal divider registers. A timing  
diagram is given in Fig.6.  
The general I2C-bus transmission format is shown in Fig.7.  
Formats for master/slave communication are shown in  
Fig.8.  
The data output timing is synchronous, but has a pause in  
the bit stream of each block. This pause occurs in the  
13th bit while ZSC is LOW. The nominal pause duration tp  
depends on the programmed bit rate for data reception  
and is shown in Table 12. The total duration of the 13th bit  
is given by tZCL + tp.  
A similar pause occurs between the first and the second  
data block. The delay between the first latch enable pulse  
and the second data block is given by tZDL2 + tp.  
The complete start-up timing of the synthesizer interface is  
given in Fig.13.

7.25 Decoder I2C-bus access  
Data written to read-only bits will be ignored. Values read  
from write-only bits are undefined and must be ignored.  
All internal access to the PCD5003A takes place via the  
I2C-bus interface. For this purpose the internal registers,  
SRAM and EEPROM have been memory mapped and are  
accessed via an index register. Table 13 shows the index  
addresses of all internal blocks.  
Each I2C-bus write message to the PCD5003A must start  
with its slave address, followed by the index address of the  
memory element to be accessed. An I2C-bus read  
message uses the last written index address as a data  
source. The different I2C-bus message types are shown in  
Fig.8.  
Registers are addressed directly, while RAM and  
EEPROM are addressed indirectly via address pointers  
and I/O registers.  
As a slave the PCD5003A cannot initiate bus transfers by  
itself. To prevent an external controller from having to  
monitor the operating status of the decoder, all important  
events generate an external interrupt on output INT.  
Remark: The EEPROM memory map is non-contiguous  
and organized as a matrix. The EEPROM address pointer  
contains both row and column indicators.

1. The index register only uses the least significant nibble, the upper 4 bits are ignored.  
2. Writing to registers 0B to 0F has no effect, reading produces meaningless data.  
The interrupt output INT is reset after completion of a  
status read operation.  
7.26 External interrupt  
The PCD5003A can signal events to an external controller  
via an interrupt signal on output INT. The interrupt polarity  
is programmable via SPF programming. The interrupt  
source is shown in the status register.  
7.27 Interrupt Masking  
In the PCD5003A certain interrupts can be suppressed by  
masking via the control register. This feature prevents  
unnecessary wake-up actions of the microcontroller  
causing battery life reduction.  
Interrupts are generated by the following events (more  
than one event possible):  
Call data available for output (bit D2)  
SRAM pointers becoming equal (bit D3)  
Expiry of periodic time-out (bit D7)  
The following interrupts can be masked:  
Out-of-Range (status bit D5): change of state  
interrupt, masked by setting control register bit D5  
Expiry of alert time-out (bit D4)  
BAT/RXE monitoring (status bit D6): change of state  
interrupt (source selected by control register bit D2),  
masked by setting control register bit D6  
Change of state in out-of-range indicator (bit D5)  
Change of state in battery-low indicator or in receiver  
control output RXE (bit D6).  
Periodic Timer (status bit D7): timer overflow interrupt,  
masked by setting control register bit D7.  
Immediate interrupts are generated by status bits D3,  
D4, D6 (RXE monitoring) and D7. Bits D2, D5 and D6  
(BAT monitoring) generate interrupts as soon as the  
receiver is disabled (RXE = 0).  
Although no interrupts are generated by these conditions  
when masked via the control register, the corresponding  
status bits are normally updated and available via the  
status register. At reset the control register is cleared,  
causing all interrupts to be enabled.  
When call data is available (D2 = 1) but the receiver  
remains switched on, an interrupt is generated at the next  
sync word position, if data fail mode (short fade recovery  
mode in APOC1) is not active.

All status bits will be reset after a status read operation  
except for the out-of-range, battery-low and receiver  
enable indicator bits (see note 1 to Table 14).  
7.28 Status/control register  
The status/control register consists of two independent  
registers, one for reading (status) and one for writing  
(control).  
Status bit D0 is set when call reception is started by  
detection of an enabled RIC (user address). This does not  
generate an interrupt.  
The status register shows the current operating condition  
of the decoder and the cause(s) of an external interrupt.  
The control register activates/deactivates certain  
functions. Tables 14 and 15 show the bit allocations of  
both registers.

recovery or ‘carrier off’ mode. This condition is reflected in  
bit D5 of the status register. The out-of-range condition is  
reset when either preamble or a valid sync word is  
detected.

The out-of-range bit (D5) in the status register is updated  
each time the receiver is disabled (RXE 0). Every  
change of state in bit D5 generates an interrupt.  
7.31 Real-time clock  
The PCD5003A provides a periodic reference pulse at  
output REF. The frequency of this signal can be selected  
by SPF programming:

undetermined when read

interrupt counter. This 8-bit counter is incremented every  
1
100 second and produces an interrupt when it reaches the  
value stored in the periodic interrupt modulus register.  
The counter register is then reset and counting continues.  
When programmed for 160 Hz (1 pulse per minute) the  
pulse at output REF is held off while the receiver is  
enabled.  
Operation is started by writing a non-zero value to the  
modulus register. Writing a zero will stop interrupt  
generation immediately and will halt the periodic interrupt  
counter after 2.55 seconds.  
Except for the 50 Hz frequency the pulse width tRFP is  
equal to one decoder clock period.  
The modulus register is write-only, the counter register can  
only be read. Both registers have the same index  
address (05H).  
The real-time clock counter runs continuously irrespective  
of the operating condition of the PCD5003A. It contains a  
seconds register (maximum 59) and a 1100 second  
register (maximum 99), which can be read or written via  
the I2C-bus. The bit allocation of both registers is shown in  
Tables 16 and 17.

7.33 Received call delay  
Call reception causes both the periodic interrupt modulus and the counter register to be reset.  
Since the periodic interrupt counter runs for another 2.55 seconds after a reset, the received call delay  
(in 1100 second units) can be determined by reading the counter register.

Enhanced Pager Decoder for POCSAG  
PCD5003A  
When using the alert cadence register, D1 would normally  
be updated by external control when the alert time-out  
interrupt occurs at the start of the 8th cadence time slot.  
Since D1 acts immediately on the alert level, it is advised  
to reset the last bit of the previous pattern to prevent  
unwanted audible level changes.  
7.34 Alert generation  
The PCD5003A is capable of controlling 3 different alert  
transducers: acoustic beeper (HIGH and LOW level), LED  
and vibrator motor. The associated outputs are ATH/ATL,  
LED and VIB respectively. ATL is an open drain output  
capable of directly driving an acoustic alerter via a resistor.  
The other outputs require external transistors.  
7.37 Vibrator alert  
Each alert output can be individually enabled via the alert  
set-up register. Alert level and warble can be separately  
selected. The alert pattern can either be standard  
POCSAG or determined via the alert cadence register.  
Direct alert control is possible via input ALC.  
The vibrator output (VIB) is activated continuously during  
a standard POCSAG alert or whenever the alert cadence  
register is non-zero.  
Two alert levels are supported: LOW level (25 Hz  
square-wave) and HIGH level (continuous). The vibrator  
level is controlled by bit D1 in the alert set-up register.  
The alert set-up register is shown in Table 18.  
Standard POCSAG alerts can be selected by setting  
bit D0 in the alert set-up register, bits D6 and D7  
determining the alert pattern used.  
7.38 LED alert  
The LED output pattern corresponds either to the selected  
POCSAG alert or to the contents of the alert cadence  
register. No equivalent exists for HIGH/LOW level alerts.  
Automatic generation via all alert outputs of the POCSAG  
alert pattern matching the received call type can be  
enabled by SPF programming (SPF byte 3, bit D2).  
7.39 Warbled alert  
7.35 Alert cadence register (03H; write)  
When enabled by setting bit D2 in the alert set-up register,  
the signals on outputs ATL, ATH and LED are warbled with  
a 16 Hz modulation frequency. Output LED is switched on  
and off at the modulation rate, while outputs ATL and ATH  
switch between fAWH and fAWL alerter frequencies.  
When not programmed for POCSAG alerts (alert set-up  
register bit D0 = 0), the 8-bit alert cadence register  
determines the alert pattern. Each bit represents a  
62.5 ms time slot, a logic 1 activating the enabled alert  
transducers. The bit pattern is rotated with the  
MSB (bit D7) being output first and the LSB (bit D0) last.  
7.40 Direct alert control  
When the last time slot (bit D0) is started an interrupt is  
generated to allow loading of a new pattern. When the  
pattern is not changed it will be repeated. Writing a zero to  
the alert cadence register will halt alert generation.  
A direct alert control input (ALC) is available for generating  
user alarm signals (e.g. battery-low warning). A HIGH level  
on input ALC activates all enabled alert outputs, overruling  
any ongoing alert patterns.  
7.36 Acoustic alert  
7.41 Alert priority  
Acoustic alerts are generated via outputs ATL and ATH.  
For LOW level alerts only ATL is active, while for HIGH  
level alerts ATH is also active. ATL is driven in counter  
phase with ATH.  
Generation of a standard POCSAG alert (D0 = 1)  
overrides any alert pattern in the alert cadence register.  
After completion of the standard alert, the original cadence  
is restarted from the position it was left at. The alert set-up  
register will now contain the settings for the standard alert.  
The alert level is controlled by bit D1 of the alert set-up  
register.  
The highest priority has been assigned to the alert control  
input (ALC). All enabled alert outputs will be activated  
while ALC is set. Outputs are activated/deactivated  
synchronous with the decoder clock. Activation requires  
an extra delay of 1 clock when no alerts are being  
generated.  
When D1 is reset, for standard POCSAG alerts (D0 = 1) a  
LOW level acoustic alert is generated during the first  
4 seconds (ATL), followed by 12 seconds at HIGH level  
(ATL + ATH). When D1 is set, the full 16 seconds are at  
HIGH level. An interrupt is generated upon expiry of the full  
alert time.  
When input ALC is reset, acoustic alerting does not cease  
until the current output frequency cycle has been  
completed.

When enabled by SPF programming (SPF byte 3, bit D2)  
standard POCSAG alerts will automatically be generated  
on outputs ATL, ATH, LED and VIB upon call reception.  
The alert pattern matches the call type as indicated by the  
function bits in the received address code-word.  
7.42 Cancelling alerts  
Standard POCSAG alerts (manual or automatic) are  
cancelled by resetting bit D0 in the alert set-up register.  
User defined alerts are cancelled by writing a zero to the  
alert cadence register. Any ongoing alert is cancelled  
when a reset pulse is applied to input RST.  
The original settings of the alert set-up register will be lost.  
Bit D0 is reset after completion of the alert.  
7.43 Automatic POCSAG alerts  
Standard alert patterns have been defined for each  
POCSAG call type, as indicated by the function bits in the  
address code-word (see Table 1). The timing of these alert  
patterns is shown in Fig.10.

7.44 SRAM access  
7.47 RAM data output register (09H; read)  
The on-chip SRAM can hold up to 96 bytes of call data.  
Each call consists of a call header (3 bytes), message data  
blocks (3 bytes per code-word) and a call terminator  
(3 bytes).  
The RAM data output register contains the byte addressed  
by the RAM read address pointer. It can only be read, each  
read operation causing an increment of the RAM read  
address pointer.  
The RAM is filled by the decoder and can be read via the  
I2C-bus interface. The RAM is accessed indirectly by  
means of a read address pointer and a data output  
register. A write address pointer indicates the first byte  
after the last message byte stored.  
7.48 EEPROM access  
The EEPROM is intended for storage of user addresses  
(RICs), sync words and special programmed function  
(SPF) bits representing the decoder configuration.  
Status register bit D2 is set when the read and write  
pointers are different. It is reset only when the SRAM  
pointers become equal during reading, i.e. when the RAM  
becomes empty.  
The EEPROM can store 48 bytes of information and is  
organized as a matrix of 8 rows by 6 columns.  
The EEPROM is accessed indirectly via an address  
pointer and a data I/O register.  
Status bit D3 is set when the read and write pointers  
become equal. This can be due to a RAM empty or a RAM  
full condition. It is reset after a status read operation.  
The EEPROM is protected against inadvertent writing by  
means of the programming enable bit in the control  
register (bit D1).  
Interrupts are generated as follows:  
The EEPROM memory map is non-contiguous as can be  
seen in Fig.11, which shows both the EEPROM  
organization and the access method.  
When status bit D2 is set and the receiver is disabled  
(RXE = 0): data is available for reading, if data fail mode  
(short fade recovery mode in APOC1) is not active  
Identifier locations contain RICs or sync words. A total of  
20 unassigned bytes is available for general purpose  
storage.  
Immediately when status bit D3 is set: RAM is either  
empty (status bit D2 = 0) or full (status bit D2 = 1).  
To avoid loss of data due to RAM overflow at least 3 bytes  
of data must be read during reception of the code-word  
following the ‘RAM full’ interrupt.  
7.49 EEPROM address pointer (07H; read/write)  
An EEPROM location is addressed via the EEPROM  
address pointer. It is incremented automatically each time  
a byte is read or written via the EEPROM data I/O register.  
7.45 RAM write address pointer (06H; read)  
The EEPROM address pointer contains two counters, for  
the row and the column number. Bits D2 to D0 contain the  
column number (0 to 5) and bits D5 to D3 the row number  
(0 to 7). Bits D7 and D6 of the address pointer are not  
used. Data written to these bits will be ignored, while their  
values are undefined when read.  
The RAM write address pointer is automatically  
incremented during call reception, as the decoder writes  
each data byte to RAM. The RAM write address pointer  
can only be read. Values range from 00H to 5FH.  
Bit D7 (MSB) is not used and its value is undefined when  
read.  
The column and row counters are connected in series.  
Upon overflow of the column counter (column = 5) the row  
counter is automatically incremented and the column  
counter wraps to 0. On overflow the row counter wraps  
from 7 to 0.  
7.46 RAM read address pointer (08H; read/write)  
The RAM read address pointer is automatically  
incremented after reading a data byte via the RAM output  
register.  
7.50 EEPROM data I/O register (0AH; read/write)  
It can be accessed for writing as well as reading.  
The byte addressed by the EEPROM address pointer can  
be written or read via the EEPROM Data I/O register. Each  
access automatically increments the EEPROM address  
pointer.  
The values range from 00H to 5FH. When at 5FH a read  
operation will cause wrapping around to 00H.  
Bit D7 (MSB) is not used; it is ignored when written and  
undefined when read.

After writing each block a pause of maximum 7.5 ms is  
required to complete the programming operation  
internally. During this time the external microcontroller  
may generate an I2C-bus stop condition. If another I2C-bus  
transfer is started the decoder will pull SCL LOW during  
this pause.  
7.51 EEPROM access limitations  
Since the EEPROM address pointer is used during data  
decoding, the EEPROM may not be accessed while the  
receiver is active (RXE = 1). It is advised to switch to OFF  
state before accessing the EEPROM.  
The EEPROM cannot be written unless the EEPROM  
programming enable bit (bit D1) in the control register is  
set.  
After writing the EEPROM programming enable bit (D1) in  
the control register must be reset.  
For writing a minimum programming supply voltage  
7.54 Invalid write address  
V
DD(prog) is required (2.0 V typ.). The programming supply  
When an invalid write address is used, the column counter  
bits (D2 to D0) are forced to zero before being loaded into  
the address pointer. The row counter bits are used  
normally.  
current (IDD(prog)) needed during writing will be 500 µA.  
Any modified SPF settings (bytes 0 to 3) only take effect  
after a decoder reset. Modified identifiers are active  
immediately.  
7.55 Incomplete programming sequence  
7.52 EEPROM read operation  
A programming sequence may be aborted by an I2C-bus  
stop condition. Next, the EEPROM programming enable  
bit (D1) in the control register must be reset.  
EEPROM read operations must start at a valid address in  
the non-contiguous memory map. Single-byte or block  
reads are permitted.  
Any bytes received of the last 6-byte block will be ignored  
and the contents of this (incomplete) EEPROM block will  
remain unchanged.  
7.53 EEPROM write operation  
EEPROM write operations must always take place in  
blocks of 6 bytes, starting at the beginning of a row.  
Programming a single byte will reset the other bytes in the  
same row. Modifying a single byte in a row requires  
re-writing the unchanged bytes with their old contents.  
7.56 Unused EEPROM locations  
A total of 20 EEPROM bytes is available for general  
purpose storage (see Table 19).

Identifiers are stored in EEPROM rows 2, 3 and 4. Each  
identifier location consists of 3 bytes in the same column.  
The identifier number is equal to the column number + 1.  
7.58 Synthesizer programming data  
Data for programming a PLL synthesizer via pins ZSD,  
ZSC and ZLE can be stored in row 1 of the EEPROM.  
Six bytes are available starting from address 08H.  
Only the last 4 identifiers (numbers 3 to 6) can be  
programmed as a UPSW. Identifiers 1 and 2 always  
represent RICs. A UPSW represents an unused address  
and must differ by more than 6 bits from preamble to  
guarantee detection.  
Data is transferred in two serial blocks of 24 bits each,  
starting with bit 0 (MSB) of block 1. Any unused bits must  
be programmed at the beginning of a block.  
The standard POCSAG sync word is always enabled and  
has identifier number 7.  
7.59 Identifier storage allocation  
Up to 6 different identifiers can be stored in EEPROM for  
matching with incoming data. The PCD5003A can

2. A UPSW needs 18 bits to be matched for successful identification. Bit 1 (MSB) must be logic 0; bits 2 to 19 contain  
the identifier bit pattern; they are followed by 2 predetermined random (function) bits and the UPSW is completed by  
10 CRC error correction bits and an even-parity bit.  
3. Bits FR3 to FR1 (MSB : FR3) contain the 3 least significant bits of the 21-bit RIC.  
4. Identifiers 1 and 2 (RIC only) will be disabled by programming bit D2 as logic 0.  
The level-shifted interface lines are: RST, DON, ALC, REF  
and INT.  
7.60 Voltage doubler  
An on-chip voltage doubler provides an unregulated  
DC output for supplying an LCD or a low power  
microcontroller on output VPO. An external ceramic  
capacitor of typical 100 nF is required between pins CCN  
and CCP. The voltage doubler is enabled via SPF  
programming.  
The I2C-bus interface lines SDA and SCL can be  
level-shifted independently of VPR by means of the  
standard external pull-up resistors.  
7.62 Signal test mode  
A special ‘signal test’ mode is available for monitoring the  
performance of a receiver circuit together with the  
front-end of the PCD5003A.  
7.61 Level-shifted interface  
All interface lines are suited for communication with a  
microcontroller operating from a higher supply voltage.  
The external device must have a common reference at VSS  
of the PCD5003A.  
For this purpose the output of the digital noise filter and the  
recovered bit clock are made available at outputs REF and  
INT respectively. All synchronization and decoding  
functions are normally active.  
The reference voltage for the level-shifted interface must  
be applied to input VPR. This could be the on-chip voltage  
doubler output VPO if required. When the microcontroller  
has a separate (regulated) supply this separate supply  
The ‘signal test’ mode is activated/deactivated by SPF  
programming.  
voltage should be connected to VPR

Reset conditions

.
8.1  
Recommended minimum values in this case are  
C = 2.2 nF and R = 100 k(see Fig.16).  
When the PCD5003A is reset by applying a HIGH-level on  
input RST, the condition of the decoder is as follows:  
8.3  
Reset timing  
OFF status (irrespective of DON input level)  
REF output frequency 32768 Hz  
All internal counters reset  
The start-up time for the crystal oscillator may exceed  
1 second (typ. 800 ms). It is advised to apply a reset  
condition at least during the first part of this period.  
The minimum reset pulse duration tRST is 50 µs.  
Status/control register reset  
All interrupts enabled  
During reset the oscillator is active, but clock signals are  
inhibited internally. Once the reset condition is released  
the end of the oscillator start-up period can be detected by  
a rising edge on output INT.  
No alert transducers selected  
LED, VIB and ATH outputs at LOW level  
ATL output high impedance  
During a reset the voltage converter clock (Vclk) is held at  
zero. The resulting output voltage drop may cause  
problems when the external resetting device is powered by  
the internal voltage doubler. A sufficiently large buffer  
capacitor between output VPO and VSS must be provided  
to supply the microcontroller during reset. The voltage at  
SDA, SCL inputs high impedance  
Voltage converter disabled.  
Within tRSU after release of the reset condition (RST LOW)  
the programmed functions are activated. The settings  
affecting the external operation of the PCD5003A are as  
follows:  
VPO will not drop below VDD 0.7 V.  
REF output frequency  
Voltage converter  
INT output polarity  
Signal test mode.  
Immediately after a reset all programmable internal  
functions will start operating according to a programmed  
value of 0. During the first 8 full clock cycles (tRSU) all  
programmed values are loaded from EEPROM.  
After reset the receiver outputs RXE and ROE become  
active immediately, if DON is HIGH and the synthesizer is  
disabled. When the synthesizer is enabled, RXE and ROE  
will only become active after the second pulse on ZLE  
completes the loading of synthesizer data.  
When input DON is HIGH, the decoder starts operating in  
ON status immediately following tRSU  
.
8.2 Power-on reset circuit  
During power-up of the PCD5003A a HIGH level of  
minimum duration tRST = 50 µs must be applied to  
pin RST. This is to prevent EEPROM corruption which  
might otherwise occur because of the undefined contents  
of the control register.  
The full reset timing is shown in Fig.12. The start-up timing  
including synthesizer programming is given in Fig.13.  
8.4  
Initial programming  
A newly-delivered PCD5002A has EEPROM contents  
which are undefined. The EEPROM should therefore be  
programmed, followed by a reset to activate the SPF  
settings, before any attempt is made to use the device.  
The reset signal can be applied by the external  
microcontroller or by an RC power-on reset circuit on  
pin RST (C to VPR, R to VSS). Such an RC-circuit should  
have a time constant of at least 3tRST = 150 µs.  
Input RST has an internal high-ohmic pull-down resistor  
(nominal 2 Mat 2.5 V supply) which could be used  
together with a suitable external capacitor connected to  
VPR to create a power-on reset signal. However, since this  
pull-down resistor varies considerably with processing and  
supply voltage, the resulting time constant is inaccurate.

(pulse duration: tRFP). The timing is shown in Fig.15.  
2. 50 Hz reference signal: square-wave.  
3. The fall time may be faster than prescribed in the I2C-bus specification for very low load capacitance values.  
To increase the fall time external capacitance is required.  
4. Duration depends on programmed bit rate; after reset tZSU = 1.5 bits.  
5. Nominal values; pause in 12th data bit (see Table 12).

If wave soldering is used the following conditions must be  
observed for optimal results:  
17 SOLDERING  
17.1 Introduction to soldering surface mount  
packages  
Use a double-wave soldering method comprising a  
turbulent wave with high upward pressure followed by a  
smooth laminar wave.  
This text gives a very brief insight to a complex technology.  
A more in-depth account of soldering ICs can be found in  
our “Data Handbook IC26; Integrated Circuit Packages”  
(document order number 9398 652 90011).  
For packages with leads on two sides and a pitch (e):  
– larger than or equal to 1.27 mm, the footprint  
longitudinal axis is preferred to be parallel to the  
transport direction of the printed-circuit board;  
There is no soldering method that is ideal for all surface  
mount IC packages. Wave soldering is not always suitable  
for surface mount ICs, or for printed-circuit boards with  
high population densities. In these situations reflow  
soldering is often used.  
– smaller than 1.27 mm, the footprint longitudinal axis  
must be parallel to the transport direction of the  
printed-circuit board.  
The footprint must incorporate solder thieves at the  
downstream end.  
17.2 Reflow soldering  
For packages with leads on four sides, the footprint must  
be placed at a 45° angle to the transport direction of the  
printed-circuit board. The footprint must incorporate  
solder thieves downstream and at the side corners.  
Reflow soldering requires solder paste (a suspension of  
fine solder particles, flux and binding agent) to be applied  
to the printed-circuit board by screen printing, stencilling or  
pressure-syringe dispensing before package placement.  
During placement and before soldering, the package must  
be fixed with a droplet of adhesive. The adhesive can be  
applied by screen printing, pin transfer or syringe  
dispensing. The package can be soldered after the  
adhesive is cured.  
Several methods exist for reflowing; for example,  
infrared/convection heating in a conveyor type oven.  
Throughput times (preheating, soldering and cooling) vary  
between 100 and 200 seconds depending on heating  
method.  
Typical dwell time is 4 seconds at 250 °C.  
A mildly-activated flux will eliminate the need for removal  
of corrosive residues in most applications.  
Typical reflow peak temperatures range from  
215 to 250 °C. The top-surface temperature of the  
packages should preferable be kept below 230 °C.  
17.4 Manual soldering  
17.3 Wave soldering  
Fix the component by first soldering two  
diagonally-opposite end leads. Use a low voltage (24 V or  
less) soldering iron applied to the flat part of the lead.  
Contact time must be limited to 10 seconds at up to  
300 °C.  
Conventional single wave soldering is not recommended  
for surface mount devices (SMDs) or printed-circuit boards  
with a high component density, as solder bridging and  
non-wetting can present major problems.  
To overcome these problems the double-wave soldering  
method was specifically developed.  
When using a dedicated tool, all other leads can be  
soldered in one operation within 2 to 5 seconds between  
270 and 320 °C.

Notes  
1. All surface mount (SMD) packages are moisture sensitive. Depending upon the moisture content, the maximum  
temperature (with respect to time) and body size of the package, there is a risk that internal or external package  
cracks may occur due to vaporization of the moisture in them (the so called popcorn effect). For details, refer to the  
Drypack information in the “Data Handbook IC26; Integrated Circuit Packages; Section: Packing Methods”.  
2. These packages are not suitable for wave soldering as a solder joint between the printed-circuit board and heatsink  
(at bottom version) can not be achieved, and as solder may stick to the heatsink (on top version).  
3. If wave soldering is considered, then the package must be placed at a 45° angle to the solder wave direction.  
The package footprint must incorporate solder thieves downstream and at the side corners.  
4. Wave soldering is only suitable for LQFP, TQFP and QFP packages with a pitch (e) equal to or larger than 0.8 mm;  
it is definitely not suitable for packages with a pitch (e) equal to or smaller than 0.65 mm.  
5. Wave soldering is only suitable for SSOP and TSSOP packages with a pitch (e) equal to or larger than 0.65 mm; it is  
definitely not suitable for packages with a pitch (e) equal to or smaller than 0.5 mm.
