315MHz/434MHz ASK Superheterodyne
Receiver
MAX7034
General Description
Features
♦ Optimized for 315MHz or 433.92MHz Band
The MAX7034 fully integrated low-power CMOS super-
heterodyne receiver is ideal for receiving amplitude-
shift-keyed (ASK) data in the 300MHz to 450MHz
frequency range (including the popular 315MHz and
433.92MHz frequencies). The receiver has an RF sensi-
tivity of -114dBm. With few external components and a
low-current power-down mode, it is ideal for cost-sensi-
tive and power-sensitive applications typical in the
automotive and consumer markets. The MAX7034 con-
sists of a low-noise amplifier (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.
♦ Operates from Single +5.0V Supply
♦ Selectable Image-Rejection Center Frequency
♦ Selectable x64 or x32 fLO/fXTAL Ratio
♦ Low (< 6.7mA) Operating Supply Current
♦ < 3.0µA Low-Current Power-Down Mode for
Efficient Power Cycling
♦ 250µs Startup Time
♦ Built-In 44dB RF Image Rejection
♦ Excellent Receive Sensitivity Over Temperature
♦ -40°C to +125°C Operation
The MAX7034 is available in a 28-pin TSSOP package
and is specified over the automotive (-40°C to +125°C)
temperature range.
