Radio Frequency Products
MC33696 PLL Tuned UHF Transceiver
for Data Transfer Applications
With more than 50 years of wireless technology
experience and semiconductor product
leadership, Freescale is qualified to offer a
comprehensive range of solutions that include
radio frequency (RF), microcontrollers (MCUs),
sensors, antenna, software and a flexible
development tools suite.
Freescale Semiconductor’s MC33696 access
and remote control solution can help users
streamline existing RF solutions or allow them
to add the convenience of wireless control to
their products. The MC33596’s context switching
feature enables it to receive communications
from either remote keyless entry (RKE) or tire
pressure monitoring systems (TPMS). This
helps customers to optimize their TPMS, RKE
or passive entry receivers in the car body. In
addition, the MC33596 can be used across a
voltage range of 2.1–5.5V.
The MC33696 includes a programmable
fractional PLL, an RSSI circuit and a periodic
wake-up timer. The periodic wake-up timer
activates the receiver, while a data manager
checks the content of incoming messages
and can switch between a TPMS and RKE
frame without microcontroller usage.

Features
Benefits
Periodic Wake-Up Timer
• Less than 1 mA in reception with strobe
ratio = 1/10
• 250 nA in standby and 25 µA with auto
wake-up mode
• Extends battery life in portable applications
• Strobe Oscillator does not require
microcontroller to wake up to listen to
radio frequencies
Receiver
• Up to -108 dBm sensitivity
• Digital and analog received signal strength
indicator (RSSI)
• Automatic wake-up function
(strobe oscillator)
• Embedded data processor with
programmable word recognition
• Image canceling mixer
• 380 kHz IF filter bandwidth
• Fast wake-up time
• 9.2 mA in Receive (Rx) mode
• Configuration Switch
Frequency: 304 MHz, 315 MHz, 426 MHz,
434 MHz, 868 MHz and
915 MHz ISM bands
Modulation: OOK and FSK
(software selectable)
Data rate: up to 20 kbps
Transmitter
• +7 dBm output power
• Programmable output power -19 to +7 dBm
in four steps
• FSK frequency done by a Frac’N PLL—
allowing a programmable deviation from
6 kHz to 192 kHz
• Frac’N resolution of 6 kHz allows
manufacturing tuning
• Serial peripheral interface • Standard SPI 4
wire required
• Frequency: 304 MHz, 315 MHz, 426 MHz,
434 MHz, 868 MHz and 915 MHz ISM bands
• Modulation: OOK and FSK
(software selectable)
• Data rate: up to 20 kbps
• 13.5 mA in Transmit (Tx) mode
• Sensitivity permits the usage of
long-range applications
• Reduces power consumption
• Reduces microcontroller load for frame
decoding, avoids false wake up of
the microcontroller
• Reduced filtering requirements
• Wide frequency range makes it possible to use
only one chip in many countries
• Allows fast switch from two different
configurations using two banks of
configurations registers: frequency, data rate,
modulation can be different
• Reduced microcontroller load needed to
receive two different kinds of frame
• Wide frequency range makes it possible to use
only one chip in many countries
