The MAX9947 is an AISG-compliant, fully integrated
transceiver.
The MAX9947 receiver offers a typical dynamic range of
20dB and integrates a bandpass filter that operates in the
2.176MHz frequency with a narrow 200kHz bandwidth.
The MAX9947 transmitter integrates a bandpass filter
that is compliant with the AISG spectrum emission profile. It can modulate OOK signals up to 115.2kbps. The
output power can be varied with external resistors from
+7dBm to +12dBm to compensate for loss in the external
circuitry and cabling.
The MAX9947 also features a direction output to facilitate
the RS-485 bus arbitration in tower-mounted equipment.
The MAX9947 is available in a small, 3mm x 3mm 16-pin
TQFN and is rated for operation in the -40°C to +85°C
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.
Note 1: Package thermal resistances were obtained using the method described in JEDEC specification JESD51-7, using a four-
layer board. For detailed information on package thermal considerations, refer to www.maxim-ic.com/thermal-tutorial.
