A bidirectional remote keyless entry (RKE) transponder comprises an analog front-end (AFE) having a programmable wake-up filter that predefines the waveform timing of the desired input signal, minimum modulation depth requirement of input signal, and independently controllable channel gain reduction of each of its three channels, X, Y, and Z. The wake-up filter parameters are the length of high and low durations of wake-up pulses that may be programmed in a configuration register. The wake-up filter allows the AFE to output demodulated data if the input signal meets its wake-up filter requirement, but does not output the demodulated data otherwise. The AFE output pin is typically connected to an eternal device for control, such as a microcontroller (MCU). The external device typically stays in low current sleep (or standby) mode when the AFE has no output and switches to high current wake-up (or active) mode when the AFE has output. Therefore, in order to keep the eternal control device in the low current sleep mode when there is no desired input signal, it is necessary to keep no output at the AFE output pin. This can be achieved by controlling the wake-up filter parameters, minimum modulation depth requirement of input signal, and. channel gains of the AFE device. These features can reduce false-wake up of the bidirectional RKE transponder due to undesired input signals such as noise signals. ® KIPO & WIPO 2007
