GENERAL DESCRIPTION
FEATURES
♦ +2.1V to +3.6V or +4.5V to +5.5V Single-Supply Operation ♦ Single-Crystal Transceiver ♦ Factory-Preset Frequency (No Serial Interface Required) ♦ FSK Modulation ♦ Factory-Preset FSK Frequency Deviation ♦ +10dBm Output Power into 50Ω Load ♦ Integrated TX/RX Switch ♦ Integrated Transmit and Receive PLL, VCO, and Loop Filter ♦ > 45dB Image Rejection ♦ Typical RF Sensitivity*: -110dBm ♦ Selectable IF Bandwidth with External Filter ♦ RSSI Output with High Dynamic Range ♦ < 12.5mA Transmit-Mode Current ♦ < 6.7mA Receive-Mode Current ♦ < 800nA Shutdown Current ♦ Fast-On Startup Feature, < 250µs ♦ Small, 32-Pin, Thin QFN Package *0.2% BER, 4kbps Manchester-encoded data, 280kHz IF BW MAX7031 The MAX7031 transmit frequency is generated by a 16bit, fractional-N, phase-locked loop (PLL), while the receiver’s local oscillator (LO) is generated by an integer-N PLL. This hybrid architecture eliminates the need for separate transmit and receive crystal reference oscillators because the fractional-N PLL is preset to be 10.7MHz above the receive LO.
