Figure 3-1 shows a typical 433.92 MHz VCC = 4.75V to 5.25V RKE car or sensor base-station
application. The external components are 12 capacitors, 1 resistor, 4 inductors, a SAW filter and
a crystal. C1 and C3 to C4 are 68 nF voltage supply blocking capacitors. C2 and C12 are 2.2 µF
supply blocking capacitors for the internal voltage regulators. C5 is a 10 nF supply blocking
capacitor. C6 is a 15 nF fixed capacitor used for the internal quasi peak detector and for the
highpass frequency of the data filter. C7 to C11 are RF matching capacitors in the range of 1 pF
to 33 pF. L2 to L4 are matching inductors of about 5.6 nH to 56 nH. A load capacitor for the crys-
tal of 9 pF is integrated. R1 is typically 22 kΩ and sets the output power at RF_OUT to about
10 dBm. Since a quarter wave or PCB antenna, which has high efficiency and wide band opera-
tion, is typically used here, it is recommended to use a SAW filter to achieve high sensitivity in
case of powerful out-of-band blockers. L1, C10 and C9 together form a lowpass filter, which is
needed to filter out the harmonics in the transmitted signal to meet regulations. An internally reg-
ulated voltage at pin VSOUT can be used in case the microcontroller only supports 3.3V
operation, a blocking capacitor with a value of C12 = 2.2 µF has to be connected to VSOUT in
any case.
