General Description
The MAX1470 is a fully integrated low-power CMOS
superheterodyne receiver for use with amplitude-shiftkeyed (ASK) data in the 315MHz band. With few
required external components, and a low-current
power-down mode, it is ideal for cost- and power-sensitive applications in the automotive and consumer markets. The chip consists of a 315MHz low-noise amplifier
(LNA), an image rejection mixer, a fully integrated
315MHz phase-lock-loop (PLL), a 10.7MHz IF limiting
amplifier stage with received-signal-strength indicator
(RSSI) and an ASK demodulator, and analog baseband
data-recovery circuitry.
The MAX1470 is available in a 28-pin TSSOP package.

MAX1470
Detailed Description
The MAX1470 CMOS superheterodyne receiver and a
few external components provide the complete receive
chain from the antenna to the digital output data.
Depending on signal power and component selection,
data rates as high as 100kbps can be achieved.
The MAX1470 is designed to receive binary ASK data
on a 315MHz carrier. ASK modulation uses a difference
in amplitude of the carrier to represent logic 0 and logic
1 data.
Low-Noise Amplifier
The LNA is a cascode amplifier with off-chip inductive
degeneration that achieves approximately 16dB of
power gain with a 2.0dB noise figure and an IIP3 of
-18dBm. The gain and noise figure is dependent on
both the antenna matching network at the LNA input,
and the LC tank network between the LNA output and
the mixer inputs.
The off-chip inductive degeneration is achieved by connecting an inductor from LNASRC to AGND. This inductor
sets the real part of the input impedance at LNAIN, allowing for a more flexible match for low-input impedance
such as a PC board trace antenna. A nominal value for
this inductor with a 50Ω input impedance is 15nH, but is
affected by PC board trace. See Typical Operating
Characteristics for the relationship between the inductance and input impedance.
The LC tank filter connected to LNAOUT comprises L1
and C9 (see Typical Applications Circuit). L1 and C9 values are selected to resonate at the RF input frequency of
315MHz. The resonant frequency is given by:

L
PARASITICS
and C
PARASITICS
include inductance and

mixer input impedance, LNA output impedance, etc.
These parasitics at high frequencies cannot be ignored
and can have a dramatic effect on the tank filter center
frequency. Lab experimentation should be done to optimize the center frequency of the tank.
Mixer
A unique feature of the MAX1470 is the integrated
image rejection of the mixer. This device was designed
to eliminate the need for a costly front-end SAW filter for
many applications. The advantage of not using a SAW
filter is increased sensitivity, simplified antenna matching, less board space, and lower cost.
The mixer cell is a pair of double-balanced mixers that
perform an IQ downconversion of the 315MHz RF input
to the 10.7MHz IF with low-side injection (i.e., fLO= f
RF
- fIF). The image rejection circuit then combines these
signals to achieve ~50dB of image rejection over the
full temperature range. Low-side injection is required
due to the on-chip image-rejection architecture. The IF
output is driven by a source-follower, biased to create a
driving impedance of 330Ω to interface with an off-chip
330Ω ceramic IF filter. The voltage conversion gain driving a 330Ω load is approximately 13dB.
Phase-Lock Loop
The PLL block contains a phase detector, charge
pump/integrated loop filter, VCO, asynchronous 64x
clock divider, and crystal oscillator. This PLL does not
require any external components. The quadrature VCO
is centered at the nominal LO frequency of 304.3MHz.
For an input RF frequency of 315MHz, a reference frequency of 4.7547MHz is needed for a 10.7MHz IF frequency (low-side injection is required). The relationship
between the RF, IF, and reference frequencies is given
by:
f
REF
= (fRF- fIF) / 64
To allow the smallest possible IF bandwidth (for best
sensitivity), the tolerance of the reference must be minimized.
Intermediate Frequency
The IF section presents a differential 330Ω load to provide matching for the off-chip ceramic filter. The internal five AC-coupled limiting amplifiers produce an
overall gain of approximately 65dB, with a bandpass-filter-type response centered near the 10.7MHz IF frequency with a 3dB bandwidth of approximately
11.5MHz. The RSSI circuit demodulates the IF to baseband by producing a DC output proportional to the log
of the IF signal level with a slope of approximately
15mV/dB (see Typical Operating Characteristics).
Applications Information
Crystal Oscillator
The XTAL oscillator in the MAX1470 is designed to present a capacitance of approximately 3pF between
XTAL1 and XTAL2. If a crystal designed to oscillate
with a different load capacitance is used, the crystal is
pulled away from its stated operating frequency, 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 4.7547MHz crystal designed to operate
with a 10pF load capacitance oscillates at 4.7563MHz
with the MAX1470, causing the receiver to be tuned to
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:
where:
f
p
is the amount the crystal frequency is pulled in ppm.
Cmis the motional capacitance of the crystal.
C

C

Data Filter
The data filter is implemented as a 2nd-order lowpass
Sallen-Key filter. The pole locations are set by the combination of two on-chip resistors and two external capacitors. Adjusting the value of the external capacitors
changes the corner frequency to optimize for different
data rates. The corner frequency should be set to
approximately 1.5 times the fastest expected data rate
from the transmitter. Keeping the corner frequency near
the data rate rejects any noise at higher frequencies,
resulting in an increase in receiver sensitivity.
The configuration shown in Figure 1 can create a
Butterworth or Bessel response. The Butterworth filter
offers a very flat amplitude response in the passband
and a roll-off rate of 40dB/decade for the two-pole filter.
The Bessel filter has a linear phase response, which
works well for filtering digital data. To calculate the
value of C5 and C6, use the following equations along
with the coefficients in Table 1:
where fCis the desired 3dB corner frequency.
For example, to choose a Butterworth filter response
with a corner frequency of 5kHz:
Choosing standard capacitor values changes C5 to
470pF and C6 to 220pF, as shown in the Typical
Application Circuit.
Data Slicer
The purpose of the data slicer is to take the analog output of the data filter and convert it to a digital signal.
This is achieved by using a comparator and comparing
the analog input to a threshold voltage. The threshold
voltage is set by the voltage on DSN, which is connected to the negative input of the data slicer comparator.
The positive input is connected to the output of the data
filter internally, and also the DSP pin for use with some
data slicer configurations.
The suggested data slicer configuration uses a resistor
(R1) connected between DSN and DSP with a capacitor (C4) from DSN to DGND (Figure 2). This configuration averages the analog output of the filter and sets the
threshold to approximately 50% of that amplitude. With
this configuration, the threshold automatically adjusts
as the analog signal varies, minimizing the possibility
for errors in the digital data. The sizes of R1 and C4
affect how fast the threshold tracks the analog amplitude. Be sure to keep the corner frequency of the RC
circuit lower than the lowest expected data rate.
Note that a long string of zeros or ones can cause the
threshold to drift. This configuration works best if a coding scheme, such as Manchester code, which has an
equal number of zeros and ones, is used.
Peak Detector
The peak detector output (PDOUT), in conjunction with
an external RC filter, creates a DC output voltage equal
to the peak value of the data signal. The resistor provides a path for the capacitor to discharge, allowing the
315MHz Low-Power, +3V Superheterodyne

peak detector to dynamically follow peak changes of
the data filter output voltage. For faster receiver startup,
the circuit shown in Figure 3 can be used.
433.92MHz Band
The MAX1470 can be configured to receive ASK modulated data with carrier frequency ranging from 250MHz
to 500MHz. Only a small number of components need
to be changed to retune the RF section to the desired
RF frequency.
Table 2 shows a list of changed components and their
values for a 433.92MHz RF; all other components
remain unchanged.
The integrated image rejection of the MAX1470 is
specifically designed to function with a 315MHz input
frequency by attenuating any signal at 293.6MHz. The
benefit of the on-chip image rejection is that an external
SAW filter is not needed, reducing cost and the insertion loss associated with SAW filters. The image rejection cannot be retuned for different RF input
frequencies and therefore is degraded. The image
rejection at 433.92MHz is typically 39dB.
Layout Considerations
A properly designed PC board is an essential part
of any RF/microwave circuit. On high-frequency inputs
and outputs, 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 a PC board 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 low-inductance connections to ground on all
GND pins, and place decoupling capacitors close to all
VDDconnections.
