EVALUATION KIT AVAILABLE MAX7044 300MHz to 450MHz High-Efficiency, Crystal-Based +13dBm ASK Transmitter General Description The MAX7044 crystal-referenced phase-locked-loop (PLL) VHF/UHF transmitter is designed to transmit OOK/ASK data in the 300MHz to 450MHz frequency range. The MAX7044 supports data rates up to 100kbps, and provides output power up to +13dBm into a 50 load while only drawing 7.7mA at 2.7V. The crystal-based architecture of the MAX7044 eliminates many of the common problems with SAW-based transmitters by providing greater modulation depth, faster frequency settling, higher tolerance of the transmit frequency, and reduced temperature dependence. The MAX7044 also features a low supply voltage of +2.1V to +3.6V. These improvements enable better overall receiver performance when using the MAX7044 together with a superheterodyne receiver such as the MAX1470 or MAX1473. A simple, single-input data interface and a buffered clock-out signal at 1/16th the crystal frequency make the MAX7044 compatible with almost any microcontroller or code-hopping generator. The MAX7044 is available in an 8-pin SOT23 package and is specified over the -40C to +125C automotive temperature range.

Functional Diagram Detailed Description DATA MAX7044 DATA ACTIVITY DETECTOR VDD GND PA PAOUT PAGND LOCK DETECT XTAL1 XTAL2 32x PLL CRYSTALOSCILLATOR DRIVER www.maximintegrated.com /16 CLKOUT The MAX7044 is a highly integrated ASK transmitter operating over the 300MHz to 450MHz frequency band. The IC requires only a few external components to complete a transmit solution. The MAX7044 includes a complete PLL and a highly efficient power amplifier. The device is automatically placed into a low-power shutdown mode and powers up when data is detected on the data input. Once power is supplied to VDD, the DATA pin must receive at least one logic pulse (low-high-low transition) in order to properly initialize the device. Shutdown Mode The MAX7044 has an automatic shutdown mode that places the device in low-power mode if the DATA input has not toggled for a specific amount of time (wait time). Maxim Integrated 6 MAX7044 300MHz to 450MHz High-Efficiency, Crystal-Based +13dBm ASK Transmitter The wait time is equal to 216 clock cycles of the crystal. This equates to a wait time of approximately 6.66ms for a 315MHz RF frequency and 4.84ms for a 433MHz RF frequency. For other frequencies, calculate the wait time with the following equation: tWAIT = 216 x 32 fRF where tWAIT is the wait time to shutdown and fRF is the RF transmit frequency. When the device is in shutdown, a rising edge on DATA initiates the warm up of the crystal and PLL. The crystal and PLL must have 220s settling time before data can be transmitted. The 220s turn-on time of the MAX7044 is dominated by the crystal oscillator startup time. Once the oscillator is running, the 1.6MHz PLL loop bandwidth allows fast frequency recovery during power amplifier toggling. When the device is operating, each edge on the data line resets an internal counter to zero and it begins to count again. If no edges are detected on the data line, the counter reaches the end-of-count (216 clock cycles) and places the device in shutdown mode. If there is an edge on the data line before the counter hits the end of count, the counter is reset and the process starts over. It may be necessary to keep the power amplifier on steadily for testing and debugging purposes. To do this, set the DATA pin voltage slightly above the midpoint between VDD and ground (VDD/2 + 100mV). Phase-Locked Loop The PLL block contains a phase detector, charge pump, integrated loop filter, VCO, asynchronous 32x clock divider, and crystal oscillator. This PLL requires no external components. The relationship between the carrier and crystal frequency is given by: fXTAL = fRF/32 The lock-detect circuit prevents the power amplifier from transmitting until the PLL is locked. In addition, the device shuts down the power amplifier if the reference frequency is lost. When the output matching network is properly tuned, the power amplifier transmits power with high efficiency. The Typical Application Circuit delivers +13dBm at +2.7V supply with 7.7mA of supply current. Thus, the overall efficiency is 48% with the efficiency of the power amplifier itself greater than 54%. Buffered Clock Output The MAX7044 provides a buffered clock output (CLKOUT) for easy interface to a microcontroller or frequency-hopping generator. The frequency of CLKOUT is 1/16 the crystal frequency. For a 315MHz RF transmit frequency, a crystal of 9.84375MHz is used, giving a clock output of 615.2kHz. For a 433.92MHz RF frequency, a crystal of 13.56MHz is used for a clock output of 847.5kHz. The clock output is inactive when the device is in shutdown mode. The device is placed in shutdown mode by the internal data activity detector (see the Shutdown Mode section). Once data is detected on the data input, the clock output is stable after approximately 220s. Applications Information Output Power Adjustment It is possible to adjust the output power down to -15dBm with the addition of a resistor (see RPWRADJ in Figure 1). The addition of the power adjust resistor also reduces power consumption. See the Supply Current and Output Power vs. External Resistor and Supply Current vs. Output Power graphs in the Typical Operating Characteristics section. It is imperative to add both a low-frequency and a high-frequency decoupling capacitor as shown in Figure 1. Crystal Oscillator The crystal oscillator in the MAX7044 is designed to present a capacitance of approximately 3pF between the XTAL1 and XTAL2 pins. If a crystal designed to oscillate 3.0V fXTAL 100nF Power Amplifier (PA) The PA of the MAX7044 is a high-efficiency, open-drain, switch-mode amplifier. With a proper output matching network, the PA can drive a wide range of impedances, including the small-loop PCB trace antenna and any 50 antenna. The output-matching network for an antenna with a characteristic impedance of 50 is shown in the Typical Application Circuit. The output matching network suppresses the carrier harmonics and transforms the antenna impedance to an optimal impedance at PAOUT, which is about 125.

Output Power Adjustment Circuit www.maximintegrated.com Maxim Integrated 7 MAX7044 with a different load capacitance is used, the crystal is pulled away from its intended operating frequency, thus introducing an error in the reference frequency. Crystals designed to operate with higher differential load capacitance always pull the reference frequency higher. For example, a 9.84375MHz crystal designed to operate with a 10pF load capacitance oscillates at 9.84688MHz with the MAX7044, causing the transmitter to be transmitting at 315.1MHz rather than 315.0MHz, an error of about 100kHz, or 320ppm. In actuality, the oscillator pulls every crystal. The crystal's natural frequency is really below its specified frequency, but when loaded with the specified load capacitance, the crystal is pulled and oscillates at its specified frequency. This pulling is already accounted for in the specification of the load capacitance. Additional pulling can be calculated if the electrical parameters of the crystal are known. The frequency pulling is given by: fp = Cm 1 1 6 - x 10 2 Ccase + Cload Ccase + Cspec where: fp is the amount the crystal frequency is pulled in ppm. Cm is the motional capacitance of the crystal. Ccase (or Co) is the vendor-specified case capacitance of the crystal. Cspec is the specified load capacitance. Cload is the actual load capacitance. When the crystal is loaded as specified (i.e., Cload = Cspec) the frequency pulling equals zero. Output Matching to 50 When matched to a 50 system, the MAX7044 PA is capable of delivering up to +13dBm of output power at VDD = 2.7V. The output of the PA is an open-drain transistor that requires external impedance matching and pullup inductance for proper biasing. The pullup inductance from PA to VDD serves three main purposes: it resonates the capacitance of the PA output, provides biasing for the PA, and becomes a high-frequency choke to reduce the RF energy coupling into VDD. The recommended output-matching network topology is shown in the Typical Application Circuit. The matching network transforms the 50 load to approximately 125 at the output of the PA in addition to forming a bandpass filter that provides attenuation for the higher order harmonics. www.maximintegrated.com 300MHz to 450MHz High-Efficiency, Crystal-Based +13dBm ASK Transmitter Output Matching to PCB Loop Antenna In some applications, the MAX7044 power amplifier output has to be impedance matched to a small-loop antenna. The antenna is usually fabricated out of a copper trace on a PCB in a rectangular, circular, or square pattern. The antenna will have an impedance that consists of a lossy component and a radiative component. To achieve high radiating efficiency, the radiative component should be as high as possible, while minimizing the lossy component. In addition, the loop antenna will have an inherent loop inductance associated with it (assuming the antenna is terminated to ground). For example, in a typical application, the radiative impedance is less than 0.5, the lossy impedance is less than 0.7, and the inductance is approximately 50nH to 100nH. The objective of the matching network is to match the power amplifier output to the small-loop antenna. The matching components thus transform the low radiative and resistive parts of the antenna into the much higher value of the PA output. This gives higher efficiency. The low radiative and lossy components of the small-loop antenna result in a higher Q matching network than the 50 network; thus, the harmonics are lower. Layout Considerations A properly designed PCB is an essential part of any RF/microwave circuit. At the power amplifier output, use controlled-impedance lines and keep them as short as possible to minimize losses and radiation. At high frequencies, trace lengths that are approximately 1/20 the wavelength or longer become antennas. For example, a 2in trace at 315MHz can act as an antenna. Keeping the traces short also reduces parasitic inductance. Generally, 1in of PCB trace adds about 20nH of parasitic inductance. The parasitic inductance can have a dramatic effect on the effective inductance. For example, a 0.5in trace connecting a 100nH inductor adds an extra 10nH of inductance, or 10%. To reduce the parasitic inductance, use wider traces and a solid ground or power plane below the signal traces. Using a solid ground plane can reduce the parasitic inductance from approximately 20nH/in to 7nH/in. Also, use lowinductance connections to ground on all GND pins, and place decoupling capacitors close to all VDD connections.
