General Description
The MAX7034 fully integrated low-power CMOS superheterodyne receiver is ideal for receiving amplitudeshift-keyed (ASK) data in the 300MHz to 450MHz
frequency range (including the popular 315MHz and
433.92MHz frequencies). The receiver has an RF sensitivity of -114dBm. With few external components and a
low-current power-down mode, it is ideal for cost-sensitive and power-sensitive applications typical in the
automotive and consumer markets. The MAX7034 consists of a low-noise amplifier (LNA), a fully differential
image-rejection mixer, an on-chip phase-locked loop
(PLL) with integrated voltage-controlled oscillator
(VCO), a 10.7MHz IF limiting amplifier stage with
received-signal-strength indicator (RSSI), and analog
baseband data-recovery circuitry.
The MAX7034 is available in a 28-pin TSSOP package
and is specified over the automotive (-40°C to +125°C)
temperature range.

Note 4: The voltage conversion gain is measured with the LNA input matching inductor and the LNA/Mixer resonator in place, and
does not include the IF filter insertion loss.
Note 5: Crystal oscillator frequency for other RF carrier frequency within the 300MHz to 450MHz range is (f
