General Description
The MAX7042 fully integrated, low-power, CMOS 
superheterodyne RF receiver is designed to receive 
frequency-shift-keyed (FSK) data at rates up to 66kbps 
nonreturn-to-zero (NRZ) (33kbps Manchester). The 
MAX7042 requires only a few external components to 
realize a complete wireless RF receiver at 308, 315, 
418, and 433.92MHz.
The MAX7042 includes all the active components 
required in a superheterodyne receiver including a lownoise amplifier (LNA), an image-rejection (IR) mixer, a 
fully integrated phase-locked loop (PLL), local oscillator 
(LO), 10.7MHz IF limiting amplifier with received-signalstrength indicator (RSSI), low-noise FM demodulator, 
and a 3V regulator. Differential peak-detecting data 
demodulators are included for baseband data recovery.
The MAX7042 is available in a 32-pin thin QFN and 
is specified over the automotive -40°C to +125°C 
temperature range.

Note 1: 0.2% BER, 4kbps, Manchester coded, 280kHz IF BW, ±50kHz frequency deviation. 
Note 2: Input impedance is measured at the LNAIN pin 2x I
LNA
. Note that the impedance at 315MHz includes the 3.9nH inductive
degeneration from the LNA source to ground. The impedance at 433.92MHz includes a 0nH inductive degeneration connected from the LNA source to ground. The equivalent input circuit is 47Ω in series with 3.2pF at 315MHz and 47Ω in series 
with 3.5pF at 433.92MHz.
Note 3: The voltage conversion gain is measured with the LNA input matching inductor, the degeneration inductor, and the
LNA/mixer resonator in place, and does not include the IF filter insertion loss.

MAX7042
308MHz/315MHz/418MHz/433.92MHz 
Low-Power, FSK Superheterodyne Receiver
10 ______________________________________________________________________________________
Detailed Description
The MAX7042 CMOS superheterodyne receiver and a 
few external components provide a complete FSK 
receive chain from the antenna to the digital output 
data. FSK uses the difference in frequency of the carrier to represent a logic 0 and logic 1. Depending on signal power and component selection, data rates as high 
as 66kbps NRZ can be achieved.
Frequency Selection
The MAX7042 can be tuned to one of four frequencies 
using the 2 frequency-select bits FSEL1 and FSEL2: 
308, 315, 418, and 433.92MHz, as shown in Table 1. 
The LO frequencies are 32 times the reference crystal 
frequencies of 9.29063, 9.50939, 12.72813, and
13.22563MHz. The selected crystal frequency is used 
to calibrate the FSK detector PLL so that it operates at 
the middle of the 10.7MHz IF.
Low-Noise Amplifier (LNA)
The LNA is a cascode amplifier with off-chip inductive 
degeneration. The gain and the noise figure are dependent on both the antenna matching network at the LNA 
input and the LC tank network between the LNA output 
and the mixer input.
The MAX7042 allows for user programmability of the 
LNA bias current. Input LNASEL programs 1x to 2x 
bias currents in increments of 0.6mA from 0.6mA to
1.2mA. Setting LNASEL to logic-low programs the LNA 
to consume 1x bias current and setting LNASEL to 
logic-high programs the LNA to consume 2x bias current. Larger bias currents yield better sensitivity and 
gain at the expense of current drain.
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 to a low-input
impedance such as a PC board trace antenna. A nominal 
value of this inductor for a 50Ω input impedance is 3.9nH 
at 315MHz and 0nH (short) at 433.92MHz, but is affected 
by the PC board trace. See the Typical Operating 
Characteristics for the relationship between the inductance and input impedance.
The LC tank filter connected to LNAOUT consists of L2 
and C9 (see the Typical Application Circuit). Select L2 
and C9 to resonate at the desired RF input frequency. 
The resonant frequency is given by:

C
PARASITICS
.
L
PARASITICS
and C
PARASITICS
include inductance and 
capacitance of the PC board traces, package pins, 
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 is required to optimize 
the center frequency of the tank. The parasitic capacitance is generally 5pF to 7pF.
There are two ways to verify experimentally that the resonant frequency of the tank is centered at the desired 
RF frequency:
1) Drive the crystal oscillator externally and sweep both
the RF frequency and the LO frequency (FXTAL x
32) to keep the IF at 10.7MHz while monitoring the 
RSSI voltage (pin 4). There is a peak in the RSSI 
voltage at resonance. The external source must be 
AC-coupled into XTAL1 and the XTAL2 pin must 
have an AC bypass to ground. The recommended 
drive power is -10dBm.
2) Use a network analyzer to measure the resonance.
The port 1 power from the network analyzer is input 
to the receiver, and this power must be -30dBm or 
less. A coaxial stub with the center conductor 
exposed (commonly called an RF “sniffer” is used to 
monitor the tank power and serves as the port 2 
input to the network analyzer. The sniffer should be 
placed in close proximity to, but not actually touching, the tank inductor.

Mixer
A unique feature of the MAX7042 is the integrated image 
rejection of the mixer. This device is designed to eliminate the need for a costly front-end SAW filter in many 
applications. The advantages of not using a SAW filter 
are 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 RF input to the
10.7MHz intermediate frequency (IF) with low-side 
injection (i.e., fLO= fRF- fIF). The image-rejection circuit 
then combines these signals to achieve a typical image 
rejection of approximately 45dB. Low-side injection is 
required as high-side injection is not possible due to 
the on-chip image rejection. The IF output is driven by 
a source follower, biased to create a driving impedance of 330Ω to interface with an off-chip 330Ω ceram- 
ic IF filter. Note that MIXIN+ and MIXIN- are functionally 
identical.
Phase-Locked Loop (PLL)
The PLL block contains a phase detector, charge 
pump/integrated loop filter, voltage-controlled oscillator 
(VCO), asynchronous 32x frequency divider, and crystal oscillator. This PLL does not require any external 
components. The relationship between the RF, IF, and 
reference frequencies is given by:
To allow the smallest possible IF bandwidth (for best 
sensitivity), minimize the tolerance of the reference.
Intermediate Frequency (IF)
The IF section presents a differential 330Ω load to provide matching for the off-chip ceramic filter. The internal six AC-coupled limiting amplifiers produce an 
overall gain of approximately 65dB. The limiting amplifiers have a bandpass-filter-type response centered 
near the 10.7MHz IF frequency with a 3dB bandwidth 
of approximately 10MHz. The limiter output is fed into a 
PLL to demodulate the IF, producing a baseband voltage with a demodulation slope of 2.1mV/kHz. The RSSI 
circuit produces a DC output proportional to the log of 
the IF signal level with a slope of approximately 
16mV/dB.
FSK Demodulator
The FSK demodulator uses an integrated 10.7MHz PLL 
that tracks the input RF modulation and determines the 
difference between frequencies as logic ones and 
zeros. The PLL is illustrated in Figure 1. The input to the 
PLL comes from the output of the IF limiting amplifiers. 
The PLL control voltage responds to changes in the frequency of the input signal with a nominal gain of
2.1mV/kHz. For example, an FSK peak-to-peak deviation of 50kHz generates a 105mV
P-P 
signal on the control line. This control line is then filtered and sliced by 
the FSK baseband circuitry.
The FSK demodulator PLL requires calibration to overcome variations in process, voltage, and temperature. 
The maximum calibration time is 120µs, which is included in the startup time. Recalibration is necessary after a 
significant change in temperature or supply voltage. 
Calibration occurs automatically each time the 
MAX7042 is powered up. Drive EN low and then high to 
force a recalibration.

Crystal Oscillator
The XTAL oscillator in the MAX7042 is used to generate 
the LO for mixing with the received signal. The XTAL oscillator frequency sets the received signal frequency as:
f
RECEIVE
= (f
XTAL
x 32) + 10.7MHz
The received image frequency at:
f
IMAGE
= (f
XTAL
x 32) - 10.7MHz
is suppressed by the integrated quadrature imagerejection circuitry.
The XTAL oscillator in the MAX7042 is designed to present a capacitance of approximately 3pF between 
XTAL1 and XTAL2. In most cases, this corresponds to a
4.5pF load capacitance applied to the external crystal 
when typical PC board parasitics are added. It is very 
important to use a crystal with a load capacitance that is 
equal to the capacitance of the MAX7042 crystal oscillator plus PC board parasitics. If a crystal designed to 
oscillate with a different load capacitance is used, the 
crystal is pulled away from its intended operating frequency, introducing an error in the reference frequency. 
Crystals designed to operate with higher differential load 
capacitance always pull the reference frequency higher.
In reality, the oscillator pulls every crystal. A 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 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
case
is the case capacitance.
C
spec
is the specified load capacitance.
C
load
is the actual load capacitance.
When the crystal is loaded as specified, i.e., C
load
=
C
spec
, the frequency pulling equals zero.
Frequency Tolerance
The frequency tolerance of the crystal, the frequency 
and bandwidth tolerance of the IF filter, and the desired 
modulation bandwidth of the signal are all interrelated. 
The combination of these characteristics should be such 
to ensure that the modulated signal bandwidth stays 
within the passband of the IF filter after downconversion. 
As is shown below, a 50ppm tolerance crystal in combination with a 280kHz bandwidth IF filter is sufficient for 
most FSK-modulated signals.
Smaller IF filter bandwidths can be used if high-tolerance 
crystals are used for generating both transmitter and 
MAX7042 receiver PLL references. The modulated spectrum of the transmitted signal must be downconverted by 
the MAX7042 to fall within the passband of the IF filter. 
The crystal tolerances must take into account the initial 
+25°C tolerance, aging, load capacitance tolerances, 
and temperature drift for both the transmitter and 
MAX7042 receiver. To achieve acceptable signal reception, the following equation must hold:
2 x (∆F
TX
+ ∆FRX+ ∆FIF+ F
DEV
+ 5 x F
MOD
) < IFBW
min
where: 
∆FTX= (transmitter crystal tolerance in ppm) x (carrier
frequency in MHz). This includes aging, load capacitance, and temperature effects for the crystal tolerance.
∆FRX= (MAX7042 crystal tolerance in ppm) x (carrier 
frequency in MHz). This includes aging, load capacitance, and temperature effects for the crystal tolerance.
∆FIF= The center frequency tolerance of the selected 
IF filter. This includes temperature drift of the IF filter 
center frequency.
F
DEV 
= ±FSK frequency deviation from carrier frequency.
F
MOD
= One half of NRZ data rate, or the data rate if
Manchester coding is used.
IFBW
min
= The minimum bandwidth of the selected IF
filter.
As an example, assume 315MHz carrier frequency, 
±50ppm crystal tolerances for both transmitter and 
MAX7042, ±30kHz IF filter center frequency tolerance, 
±50kHz frequency deviation, and 4.8kHz Manchester 
data rate:
2 x [(315 x 50) + (315 x 50) + 30000 +50000 + 5 x
4800] = 271kHz < IFBW
min
This operating condition necessitates a 280kHz IF filter.

Data Filters
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 in kHz should 
be to approximately the fastest expected data rate in 
kbps for NRZ and twice the fastest expected data rate 
in kbps for Manchester coding 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 2 creates a Butterworth 
or Bessel response. The Butterworth filter offers a very 
flat amplitude response in the passband and a rolloff 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 the capacitors, 
use the following equations along with the coefficients in 
Table 2:
where f
C 
is the desired 3dB corner frequency.
For example, choose a Butterworth filter response with 
a 5kHz corner frequency:
Choosing standard capacitor values changes CF1to 
470pF and CF2to 220pF. In the Typical Application 
Circuit, CF1and CF2are named C4 and C3, respectively.
Data Slicer
The purpose of a data slicer is to take the analog output 
of a 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 the DS- pin, which is connected to 
the negative input of the data-slicer comparator. The positive input of the data-slicer comparator is connected to 
the output of the data filter internally.

Numerous configurations can be used to generate the 
data-slicer threshold. For example, the circuit in Figure 3 
shows a simple method using only one resistor and one 
capacitor. 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 values of R and C affect how fast the threshold tracks the analog amplitude. Be sure to keep the 
corner frequency of the RC circuit much lower than the 
lowest expected data rate.
With this configuration, a long string of zeros or ones 
can cause the threshold to drift. This configuration 
works best if a coding scheme, such as Manchester 
coding, which has an equal number of zeros and ones, 
is used.
Figure 4 shows a configuration that uses the positive and 
negative peak detectors to generate the threshold. This 
configuration sets the threshold to the midpoint between 
a high output and a low output of the data filter.
Peak Detectors
The maximum peak detector (PDMAX) and minimum 
peak detector (PDMIN) outputs, in conjunction with a 
resistor and capacitor connected to GND, create DC 
output voltages proportional to the high- and low-peak 
values of the data signal. The resistor provides a path 
for the capacitor to discharge, allowing the peak detector to dynamically follow peak changes of the data-filter 
output voltage.
The positive and negative peak detectors can be used 
together to form a data-slicer threshold voltage at a 
midvalue between the most positive and most negative 
voltage levels of the data stream (see the Data Slicers 
section and Figure 4). Set the RC time constant of the 
peak-detector combining network to at least 5 times the 
data period.
The MAX7042 peak detectors track the baseband filter 
output voltage until all internal circuits are stable following an enable pin low-to-high transition. This feature 
allows for an extremely fast startup because the peak 
detectors never “catch” a false level created by a startup 
transient. The peak detectors exhibit a fast-attack/slowdecay response.
Power-Supply Connections
The MAX7042 can be powered from a 2.4V to 3.6V 
supply or a 4.5V to 5.5V supply. The device has an on-
chip linear regulator that reduces the 5V supply to 3V 
needed to operate the chip.
To operate the MAX7042 from a 3V supply, connect 
DVDD, AVDD, and HVINto the 3V supply. When using a 
5V supply, connect the supply to HVINonly. In both 
cases, bypass DVDDand HVINwith a 0.01µF capacitor 
and AVDDwith a 0.1µF capacitor. Place all bypass 
capacitors as close to the respective supply pin as 
possible.

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 on the 
order of λ/10 or longer act as antennas.
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 
of a passive component. 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. Also, use low-inductance connections to ground 
on all GND pins, and place decoupling capacitors 
close to all V
DD
or HVINconnections.
