General Description
The MAX7058 UHF transmitter alternately transmits
ASK/OOK data at 315MHz or 390MHz using a single
crystal. The MAX7058 has internal tuning capacitors at
the output of the power amplifier that can be programmed for matching to the antenna or load. The
MAX7058 can transmit at a data rate up to 100kbps
NRZ (50kbps Manchester coded). Typical transmitted
power into a 50Ω load is +10dBm. The MAX7058 operates from +2.1V to +3.6V and draws under 8.0mA of
current. The standby current is less than 1μA at room
temperature. A 15MHz crystal is used as the reference
for 315MHz and 390MHz operation by selecting synthesizer-divide ratios of 21 and 26, respectively.
The MAX7058 is available in a 4mm x 4mm, 24-pin thin
QFN package and is specified to operate in the -40°C
to +125°C automotive temperature range.

Stresses beyond those listed under “Absolute Maximum Ratings” may cause permanent damage to the device. These are stress ratings only, and functional
operation of the device at these or any other conditions beyond those indicated in the operational sections of the specifications is not implied. Exposure to
absolute maximum rating conditions for extended periods may affect device reliability.
