General Description
The MAX7032 crystal-based, fractional-N transceiver is
designed to transmit and receive ASK/OOK or FSK
data in the 300MHz to 450MHz frequency range with
data rates up to 33kbps (Manchester encoded) or
66kbps (NRZ encoded). This device generates a typical output power of +10dBm into a 50Ω load, and
exhibits typical sensitivities of -114dBm for ASK data
and -110dBm for FSK data. The MAX7032 features separate transmit and receive pins (PAOUT and LNAIN)
and provides an internal RF switch that can be used to
connect the transmit and receive pins to a common
antenna.
The MAX7032 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 allows the
transmit frequency to be set within 2kHz of the receive
frequency. The 12-bit resolution of the fractional-N PLL
allows frequency multiplication of the crystal frequency
in steps of f
XTAL
/4096. Retaining the fixed-N PLL for the
receiver avoids the higher current drain requirements of
a fractional-N PLL and keeps the receiver current drain
as low as possible.
The fractional-N architecture of the MAX7032 transmit
PLL allows the transmit FSK signal to be programmed for
exact frequency deviations, and completely eliminates
the problems associated with oscillator-pulling FSK signal generation. All frequency-generation components are
integrated on-chip, and only a crystal, a 10.7MHz IF filter,
and a few discrete components are required to implement a complete antenna/digital data solution.
The MAX7032 is available in a small 5mm x 5mm, 32-pin,
thin QFN package, and is specified to operate in the
automotive -40°C to +125°C temperature range.

Note 9: Input impedance is measured at the LNAIN pin. Note that the impedance at 315MHz includes the 12nH inductive degenera-
tion from the LNA source to ground. The impedance at 434MHz includes a 10nH inductive degeneration connected from the
LNA source to ground. The equivalent input circuit is approximately 50Ω in series with ~ 2.2pF. The voltage conversion is
measured with the LNA input matching inductor, the degeneration inductor, and the LNA/mixer tank in place, and does not
include the IF filter insertion loss.
