MAX7033
315MHz/433MHz ASK Superheterodyne
Receiver with AGC Lock
General Description
Features
The MAX7033 fully integrated low-power CMOS super-
heterodyne receiver is ideal for receiving amplitude shift-
keyed (ASK) data in the 300MHz to 450MHz frequency
range. The receiver has an RF input signal range of
-114dBm to 0dBm. With few external components and a
low-current power-down mode, it is ideal for cost-sensitive
and power-sensitive applications typical in consumer
markets. The MAX7033 consists of a low-noise ampli-
fier (LNA), a fully differential image-rejection mixer, an
on-chip phase-locked loop (PLL) with integrated voltage-
controlled oscillator (VCO), a 10.7MHz IF limiting amplifier
stage with received-signal-strength indicator (RSSI), and
analog baseband data-recovery circuitry. The MAX7033
also has a discrete one-step automatic gain control
(AGC) that reduces the LNA gain by 35dB when the RF
input signal exceeds -62dBm. The AGC circuitry offers an
externally controlled hold feature.
