GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The ADF7901 is a low power OOK/FSK UHF transmitter
designed for use in RF remote control devices. This device
is capable of frequency shift keying (FSK) modulation on eight

different channels, selectable by three external control lines.
OOK modulation is performed by modulating the PA control
line.
The on-chip VCO operates at 2× the output frequency. The
division by 2 at the output of the VCO reduces the amount of
PA feedthrough. As a result, OOK modulation depths of greater
than 50 dB are easily achievable.
The FSK_ADJ and ASK_ADJ resistors can be adjusted in the
system to optimize output power for each modulation scheme.
An additional 1.5 dB of output power is provided for the lower
bank of channels to adjust for antenna performance. The CE
line allows the transmitter to be powered down completely.
In this mode, the leakage current is typically 0.1 µA.

8
This specification refers to the time taken for the PLL to regain lock after the PA has been enabled. The PA is should only be enabled after the PLL has settled to the
correct frequency.
