Final Information
General Description
Features
The MICRF005 QwikRadio™ UHF receiver is a single-chip
OOK (on-off keyed) receiver IC for remote wireless applications. This device is a true single-chip, “antenna-in, data-out”
device. All RF and IF tuning is accomplished automatically
within the IC which eliminates manual tuning production
costs and results in a highly reliable, extremely low-cost
solution for high-volume wireless applications.
The MICRF005 provides two additional key features: (1) A
transmit standby mode, and (2) a shutdown mode which may
be used for duty-cycle operation. These features make the
MICRF005 ideal for low power applications in both one-way
and bi-directional wireless links.
All IF and post-detection (demodulator) data filtering is provided on the MICRF005, no external filters are required.
Nominal filter bandwidth is fixed a 300kHz allowing a data
throughput at rates up to 115kbps.

This pin is the ground return for the RF section of the IC. The bypass
capacitor connected from the VDDRF to VSSRF should have the shortest

the power supply only (i.e. keep VSSBB currents from flowing through
VSSRF return paths).

ANT
This is the receive RF input, internally ac-coupled. Connect this pin to the
receive antenna. For applications located in high ambient noise environments, a fixed value band-pass network may be connected between the
ANT pin and VSSRF to provide additional receive selectivity and input
overload protection.

No connection
Intergrating capacitor for on-chip AGC (Automatic Gain Control). The Decay/
Attack time-constant (TC) ratio is nominally set as 10:1. Use of 0.47µF or
greater is strongly recommended for best range performance. Use lowleakage type capacitors for duty-cycle operation (Dip Tantalum, Ceramic,
Polyester).

Note 1.
Exceeding the absolute maximum rating may damage the device.
Note 2.
The device is not guaranteed to function outside its operating rating.
Note 3.
Devices are ESD sensitive. Handling precautions recommended.
Note 4:
Sensitivity is defined as the average signal level measured at the input necessary to achieve 10-2 BER (bit error rate). The input signal is
defined as a return-to-zero (RZ) waveform with 50% average duty cycle (Manchester encoded data). The RF input is assumed to be matched
into 50Ω.
Note 5:
Spurious reverse isolation represents the spurious components which appear on the RF input pin (ANT) measured into 50Ω with an input RF
matching network. Parameter guaranteed by device characterization, not production tested.
Note 6:
Sensitivity, a commonly specified receiver parameter, provides an indication of the receiver’s input referred noise, generally input thermal
noise. However, it is possible for a more sensitive receiver to exhibit range performance no better than that of a less sensitive receiver if the
background noise is appreciably higher than the thermal noise. Background noise refers to other interfering signals, such as FM radio stations,
pagers, etc.
A better indicator of achievable receiver range performance is usually given by its selectivity, often stated as intermediate frequency (IF) or
radio frequency (RF) bandwidth, depending on receiver topology. Selectivity is a measure of the rejection by the receiver of “ether” noise.
More selective receivers will almost invariably provide better range. Only when the receiver selectivity is so high that most of the noise on the
receiver input is actually thermal will the receiver demonstrate sensitivity-limited performance.
Note 7:
Parameter scales linearly with reference oscillator frequency fT. For any reference oscillator frequency other than 14.3359MHz, compute new
parameter value as the ratio:

MICRF005 Block Diagram
MΩ resistor from the CTH pin to either VSS or VDD, depending
on the desired offset polarity. Since the MICRF005 has
receiver AGC, noise at the internal comparator input is
always the same, set by the AGC. The squelch offset requirement does not change as the local noise strength changes
from installation to installation. Introducing squelch will reduce range modestly. Only introduce an amount of offset
sufficient to quiet the output.
Automatic Gain Control
The signal path has AGC (automatic gain control) to increase
input dynamic range. An external capacitor, CAGC, must be
connected to the CAGC pin of the device. The ratio of decayto-attack time-constant is fixed at 10:1 (that is, the attack time
constant is 1/10th of the decay time constant). However, the
attack time constant is set externally by choosing a value for
CAGC.
By adding resistance from the CAGC pin to VDDBB or VSSBB
in parallel with the AGC capacitor, the ratio of decay-to-attack
time constant may be varied, although the value of such
adjustments must be studied on a per-application basis.
Generally the design value of 10:1 is adequate for the vast
majority of applications.
To maximize system range, it is important to keep the AGC
control voltage ripple low, preferably under 10mVpp once the
control voltage has attained its quiescent value. For this
reason capacitor values of at least 0.47µF are recommended.
The AGC control voltage is carefully managed on-chip to
allow duty-cycle operation of the MICRF005 in excess of
10:1. When the device is placed into shutdown mode (SHUT
pin pulled high), the AGC capacitor floats, to retain the
voltage. When operation is resumed, only the voltage droop
on the capacitor due to leakage must be replenished, therefore a relatively low-leakage capacitor is recommended for
Functional Description
Refer to “MICRF005 Block Diagram”. Identified in the block
diagram are the three sections of the IC: UHF Downconverter,
OOK Demodulator and Reference and Control. Also shown
in the figure are two capacitors (CTH, CAGC) and one timing
component (CR), usually a crystal. With the exception of a
supply decoupling capacitor, these are the only external
components needed by the MICRF005 to construct a complete UHF receiver. Two control inputs are shown in the block
diagram: T/R and SHUT. Through these logic inputs, the user
can control the operation of the IC. These inputs are CMOS
compatible, and are pulled-up on the IC.
IF Bandpass Filter
Rolloff response of the IF Filter is 7th order, while the
demodulator data filter exhibits a 2nd order response.
Slicing Level
Extraction of the dc value of the demodulated signal for
purposes of logic-level data slicing is accomplished using the
external threshold capacitor CTH and the on-chip switchedcapacitor “resistor” RSC, shown in the block diagram. The
effective resistance of RSC is 30kΩ.
Slicing level time constant values vary somewhat with decoder type, data pattern, and data rate, but typical values
range from 5ms to 50ms. Optimization of the value of CTH is
required to maximize range.
Squelch
During quiet periods (no signal) the data output (DO pin)
transitions randomly with noise, presenting problems for
some decoders. A simple solution is to introduce a small
offset, or squelch voltage, on the CTH pin so that noise does
not trigger the internal comparator. Usually 20mV to 30mV is
sufficient, and may be introduced by connecting a severalOctober 2001

duty-cycled operation. The actual tolerable leakage will be
application dependent. Clearly, leakage performance is less
critical when the device off-time is low (milliseconds) and
more critical when the off-time is high (seconds).
To further enhance duty-cycled operation of the IC, the AGC
push and pull currents are increased for a fixed time immediately after the device is taken out of shutdown mode (turnedon). This compensates for AGC capacitor voltage droop
while the IC is in shutdown mode, reduces the time to restore
the correct AGC voltage, and therefore extends maximum
achievable duty ratios. Push-pull currents are increased by
45 times their nominal values. The fixed time period is based
on the reference oscillator frequency fT, [tbd]ms for fT =
14.3359MHz, and varies inversely as fT varies.
Transmit / Standby Function
The transmit/receive function is controlled by the logic state
of T/R. T/R is internally tied to VSS. When T/R is open circuit
or in the low state, the MICRF005 functions in its normal
receive operating mode. The T/R pin may be pulled high to
Vdd, this will place the receiver in a “stand-by” operating
mode. This mode is intended for use during transmit cycles
in transceiver applications where the receiver is co-located
with a transmitter. In this “transmit” mode, the receiver
oscillator remains active but the AGC function is disabled and
the CAGC pin is high impedance to hold the AGC capacitor
voltage. This function enables the MICRF005 to immediately
resume receive operation after a transmit cycle.
Shutdown Function
The shutdown function is controlled by a logic state applied
to the SHUT pin. When VSHUT is high, the device goes into
low-power standby mode, consuming less than 1µA. This pin
is pulled high internally. It must be externally pulled low to
enable the receiver.
Reference Oscillator
All timing and tuning operations on the MICRF005 are derived from the internal Colpitts reference oscillator. Timing
and tuning is controlled through the REFOSC pin in one of two
ways:
1. Connect a crystal
2. Drive this pin with an external timing signal
The second approach is attractive for lowering system cost
further if an accurate reference signal exists elsewhere in the
system, for example, a reference clock from a crystal-controlled microprocessor. An externally applied signal should
be ac-coupled and resistively-attenuated, or otherwise limited, to approximately 0.5Vpp. The specific reference frequency required is related to the system transmit frequency.
I/O Pin Interface Circuitry
Interface circuitry for the various I/O pins of the MICRF005
are diagrammed in Figures 1 through 6. The ESD protection
diodes at all input and output pins are not shown. Integrated

Figure 3. CAGC Pin
Figure 3 illustrates the CAGC pin interface circuit. The AGC
control voltage is developed as an integrated current into a
capacitor CAGC. The attack current is nominally 15µA, while
the decay current is a 1/10th scaling of this, nominally 1.5µA,
making the attack/decay timeconstant ratio a fixed 10:1.
Signal gain of the RF/IF strip inside the IC diminishes as the
voltage at CAGC decreases. Modification of the attack/decay
ratio is possible by adding resistance from the CAGC pin to
either VDDBB or VSSBB, as desired.
Both the push and pull current sources are disabled during
shutdown, which maintains the voltage across CAGC, and
improves recovery time in duty-cycled applications. To further improve duty-cycle recovery, both push and pull currents
are increased by 45 times for approximately 10ms after
release of the SHUT pin. This allows rapid recovery of any
voltage droop on CAGC while in shutdown.

Application Information
Bypass and Output Capacitors
The bypass and output capacitors connected to VSSBB should
have the shortest possible lead lengths. For best performance, connect VSSRF to VSSBB at the power supply only
(that is, keep VSSBB currents from flowing through the VSSRF
return path). VDDRF and VDDBB should be connected directly
together at the IC pins. A 10Ω resistor in series with the supply
line plus three decoupling capacitors is recommended. The
suggested capacitor values are 1nF, 10nF and 100nF.

The first step in the process is selection of a data-slicing-level
time constant. This selection is strongly dependent on system issues including system decode response time and data
code structure (that is, existence of data preamble, etc.). This
issue is covered in more detail in “Application Note 22.”

A standard ±20% X7R ceramic capacitor is generally sufficient.
Selecting CAGC Capacitor in Continuous Mode
Selecting Reference Oscillator Frequency fT
Selection of CAGC is dictated by minimizing the ripple on the
AGC control voltage by using a sufficiently large capacitor.
Factory experience suggests that CAGC should be in the
vicinity of 0.47µF to 4.7µF. Large capacitor values should be
carefully considered as this determines the time required for
the AGC control voltage to settle from a completely discharged condition. AGC settling time from a completely
discharged (zero-volt) state is given approximately by equation (5):
As with any superheterodyne receiver, the difference between the internal LO (local oscillator) frequency fLO and the
incoming transmit frequency fTX ideally must equal the IF
center frequency. Equation 1 may be used to compute the
appropriate fLO for a given fTX:
f 

fLO = fTX ±  2.496 TX 

915 
Frequencies fTX and fLO are in MHz. Note that two values of
fLO exist for any given fTX, distinguished as “high-side mixing”
and “low-side mixing,” and there is generally no preference of
one over the other.
After choosing one of the two acceptable values of fLO, use
Equation 2 to compute the reference oscillator frequency fT:
(5)
∆t = 1.333C AGC − 0.44
where:
CAGC is in µF, and ∆t is in seconds.
Selecting CAGC Capacitor in Duty-Cycle Mode
Generally, droop of the AGC control voltage during shutdown
should be replenished as quickly as possible after the IC is
“turned-on”. As described in the functional description, for
about [tbd]ms after the IC is turned on, the AGC push-pull
currents are increased to 45 times their normal values.
Consideration should be given to selecting a value for CAGC
and a shutdown time period such that the droop can be
replenished within this [tbd]ms period.

For example, if user desires ∆t = 10ms and chooses a 4.7µF
CAGC, then the allowable droop is about 144mV. Using the
same equation with 200nA worst case pin leakage and
assuming 1µA of capacitor leakage in the same direction, the
maximum allowable ∆t (shutdown time) is about 0.56s for
droop recovery in 10ms.
Polarity of the droop is unknown, meaning the AGC voltage
could droop up or down. Worst-case from a recovery standpoint is downward droop, since the AGC pullup current is
1/10th magnitude of the pulldown current. The downward
droop is replenished according to the Equation (6):
