Micrel MICRF113 300mhz to 450mhz 10dbm ask transmitter in sot23 Datasheet

MICRF113
300MHz to 450MHz +10dBm
ASK Transmitter in SOT23
General Description
Features
The MICRF113 is a high-performance, easy-to-use, singlechip ASK Transmitter IC for remote wireless applications in
the 300MHz to 450MHz frequency band. This transmitter
IC is a true “data-in, antenna-out” monolithic device.
MICRF113 has three strong attributes: power delivery,
operating voltage and operating temperature. In terms of
power, the MICRF113 is capable of delivering +10dBm
into a 50Ω load. This power level enables a small form
factor transmitter (lossy antenna) such as a key fob
transmitter to operate near the maximum limit of
transmission regulations. In terms of operating voltage, the
MICRF113 operates from 1.8V to 3.6V. Many transmitter
ICs in the same frequency band stop operating below
2.0V. The MICRF113 will work with most batteries to the
end of their useful limits. In terms of operating
temperature, the MICRF113 operates from −40°C to
+85°C.
The MICRF113 is easy to use. It requires a reference
frequency (RF carrier frequency divided by 32 times)
generated from a crystal with a few additional external
parts to create a complete versatile transmitter.
The MICRF113 operates with Amplitude Shift Keying/OnOff Keyed (ASK/OOK) UHF receiver types from wide-band
super-regenerative
radios
to
narrow-band,
highperformance
super-heterodyne
receivers.
The
MICRF113’s maximum ASK bit rate is 20kbps (minimum
pulse width of 50µs at ASK pin).
The MICRF113 transmitter solution is ideal for industrial
and consumer applications where simplicity and form
factor are important.

Functional Description
Figure 3 is a functional block diagram of the MICRF113
transmitter. The MICRF113 is best described as a phase
locked transmitter. The MICRF113 system is partitioned
into five functional blocks:
•
Crystal oscillator
•
PLL×32
•
Power amplifier
•
Enable control
•
Undervoltage detection
ESR 20Ω
Cpar 2 to 10pF
•
Cmo 10 to 40fF
300Ω
CPAR
2 to 5pF
•
CMO
10 to 40fF
•
CLOAD 10 to 30pF
Power Amplifier
The power amplifier serves two purposes: 1) to buffer
the VCO from external elements and 2) to amplify the
phase locked signal. The power amplifier can produce
+10dBm at 3V (typical).
Crystal Oscillator Parameters for ASK Operation
Figure 4 shows a reference oscillator circuit
configuration for ASK operation. The reference oscillator
is capable of driving crystals with ESR range from 20Ω
to 300Ω.
When the ESR of crystal is at 20Ω, the crystal parameter
limits are:
•
ESR
•
PLL ×32
The function of PLL×32 is to provide a stable carrier
frequency for transmission. It is a “divide by 32” phase
locked loop oscillator.
Crystal Oscillator
The reference oscillator is crystal-based Pierce
configuration, designed to accept crystals with frequency
from 9.375MHz to 14.0625MHz.
•
•
Enable Control
Enable control gates the ASK data. It only allows
transmission when Lock, Amplitude and Under Voltage
Detect conditions are valid.
Undervoltage Detect
“Undervoltage detect” block senses operating voltage. If
the operating voltage falls below 1.6V, “undervoltage
detect” block will send a signal to “enable control” block
to disable the PA.

The MICRF113 is well suited to drive a 50Ω load,
monopole or a loop antenna. Figure 6 is an example of a
loop antenna configuration. Figure 6 also shows both
315MHz and 433.92MHz ASK configurations for a loop
antenna. Besides using a different crystal, Table 1 lists

Power Amplitude Control Using External Resistor
R7 is used to adjust the RF amplitude output levels
which may be needed to meet compliance regulation. As
an example, the following tables list typical values of
conducted RF output levels and corresponding R7
resistor values for the 50Ω test board, as shown in
Figure 2. R7 of the TX113-1C Demo board using the
loop antenna can be adjusted for the appropriate
radiated field allowed by FCC or ETSI compliance.

and ETSI compliances.

Output Power ON-OFF Control
There are two ways to enable the PA output power.
First, by supplying the ASK signal with VDD applied
continuously, resulting in a Mark and Space RF output
condition. A second method involves applying both VDD
and ASK synchronously. The second method allows for
longer battery usage since the battery is disconnected
during non-activation. Figure 7 shows the RF output time
response since VDD and the ASK are applied to the
MICRF113. The RF output response, as a function of
VDD, is typically less then 1.25mSec. This measurement
was done using the circuitry shown in Figure 2.
Note: The ASK signal should never be applied before
VDD.
Output Matching Network
Part of the function of the output network is to attenuate
the second and third harmonics. When matching to a
transmit frequency, care must be taken both to optimize
for maximum output power, and to attenuate unwanted
harmonics.
Layout Issues
PCB Layout is a primary concern for achieving optimum
performance and consistent manufacturing results. Care
must used with the orientation of components to ensure
that they do not couple or decouple the RF signal. PCB
trace length should be short to minimize parasitic
inductance (1 inch ~ 20nH). For example, depending
upon inductance values, a 0.5 inch trace can change the
inductance by as much as 10%. To reduce parasitic
inductance, the practice of using wide traces and a
ground plane under the signal traces is recommended.
Vias with low value inductance should be used for
components requiring a connection-to-ground.
Antenna Layout
Directivity is affected by antenna trace layout. No ground
plane should be under the antenna trace. For consistent
performance, components should not be placed inside
the loop of the antenna. Gerber formats (see Figure 8,
for a suggested layout) can be obtained from the Micrel
web site at: http://www.micrel.com.
