MAX41470
290MHz to 960MHz ASK/FSK Receiver with SPI
Interface
General Description
Benefits and Features
The MAX41470 is a high-performance, low-power receiver
that is ideal for amplitude shift-keyed (ASK) and frequency
shift-keyed (FSK) data. The receiver can be configured
for three popular sub-1GHz bands while using a single
low-cost 16MHz crystal: 287MHz to 320MHz, 425MHz to
480MHz, and 860MHz to 960MHz.
● Low Bill of Materials (BOM)
• No External Balun, No External Filter, etc.
• Single Low-Cost 16MHz External Crystal
● Long Range with High Sensitivity
● Low Power Consumption
• 9mA Operating Supply Current
• 10nA Power-Down Current
The MAX41470 is capable of both ASK and FSK reception
and is also fully programmable through an SPI interface.
● Self-Polling (Remote Wake-Up) for Reduced Power
• Preamble Detection with Interrupt Output
• Average Current as Low as 350μA
• Duty Cycle Less Than 1% Capable
• Fast Startup Time
The receiver has excellent RF sensitivity and allows input
signals up to 0dBm of power at the RF input. With an
integrated IF filter, a few external components, and low
operating/power-down currents, the MAX41470 receiver
is ideal for cost- and power-sensitive applications. The
chip also includes a low-noise amplifier (LNA), fully dif-
ferential image-rejection mixer, on-chip phase-locked loop
(PLL) with integrated voltage-controlled oscillator (VCO),
received signal strength indicator (RSSI), and digital de-
modulation.
● Automatic Gain Control (AGC) Adjusted Digital RSSI
● Automatic Frequency Control (AFC)
● Fast Frequency Switching Frac-N Synthesizer
● 33dB Calibrated Image Rejection
● Passes ETSI Category 2 Blocking Requirements
● ±2.5kV HBM ESD Protection, ±4kV on LNA Input
● Up to 200kbps Data Rate (NRZ)
● 1.8V to 3.6V Supply Voltage
● -40°C to +105°C Operating Temperature Range
● 4mm x 4mm, 12-TQFN with 0.8mm Pitch
The device operates in the 1.8V to 3.6V supply voltage
range and also features a power-saving, fully programma-
ble, self-polling (duty cycling) mode with preamble detec-
tion and interrupt output to wake up an external microcon-
troller unit (MCU).
Ordering Information appears at end of datasheet.
The parts are available in a 12-pin thin QFN (TQFN) pack-
age and are specified for the -40°C to +105°C extended
temperature range.
