300MHz to 450MHz Frequency-Programmable
ASK/FSK Transmitter
The MAX7057 frequency-programmable UHF transmitter is designed to transmit ASK/FSK data at a wide
range of frequencies from 300MHz to 450MHz. The
MAX7057 has internal tuning capacitors at the output of
the power amplifier that are programmable for matching to an antenna or load. This allows the user to
change to a new frequency and match the antenna at
the new frequency simultaneously. The MAX7057 transmits at a data rate up to 100kbps nonreturn-to-zero
(NRZ) (50kbps Manchester coded). Typical transmitted
power into a 50Ω load is +9.2dBm with a +2.7V supply.
The device operates from +2.1V to +3.6V and typically
draws under 12.5mA of current in FSK mode (8.5mA in
ASK mode) when the antenna-matching network is
designed to operate over the 315MHz to 433.92MHz
frequency range. For narrower operating frequency
ranges, the matching network can be redesigned to
improve efficiency. The standby current is less than
1µA at room temperature.
The MAX7057 reference frequency from the crystal
oscillator is multiplied by a fully integrated fractional-N
phase-locked loop (PLL). The multiplying factor of the
PLL is set by a 16-bit number, with 4 bits for integer
and 12 bits for fraction; the multiplying factor can be
anywhere between 19 and 28. The 12-bit fraction in the
synthesizer sets a tuning resolution equal to the reference frequency divided by 4096; frequency deviation
can be set as low as ±2kHz and as high as ±100kHz.
The fractional-N synthesizer eliminates the problems
associated with oscillator-pulling FSK signal generation.
The MAX7057 has a serial peripheral interface (SPI™)
for selecting all the necessary settings.
The MAX7057 is available in a 16-pin SO package and
is specified to operate in the -40°C to +125°C automotive temperature range.

The MAX7057 is frequency programmable from 300MHz
to 450MHz, by using a fractional-N phase-locked loop
(PLL), and transmits data using either ASK or FSK modulation. The MAX7057 has integrated tuning capacitors
at the output of the power amplifier (PA) to ensure highpower efficiency at various programmable frequencies
with a single-matching network.
The crystal-based architecture of the MAX7057 eliminates many of the common problems with SAW transmitters by providing greater modulation depth, faster
frequency settling, tighter transmit frequency tolerance,
and reduced temperature dependence. In particular,
the tighter transmit frequency tolerance means that a
superheterodyne receiver with a narrower IF bandwidth
(therefore lower noise bandwidth) can be used. The
payoff is better overall receiver performance when using
8
a superheterodyne receiver such as the MAX1471,
MAX1473, MAX7033, MAX7034, or MAX7042.
Frequency Programming
The MAX7057 is a crystal-referenced phased-locked
loop (PLL) VHF/UHF transmitter that transmits data over
the frequency range of 300MHz to 450MHz in ASK or
FSK mode. The transmit frequency is set by the crystal
frequency and the programmable divider in the PLL;
the programmable-divide ratios can be set anywhere
from 19 to 28, which means that with a crystal frequency of 16MHz, the output frequency range can be from
304MHz to 448MHz.
The fractional-N architecture of the PLL in the MAX7057
allows the FSK signal to be programmed for exact frequency deviations and rapid, transient-free frequency
settling time. This modulation method completely elimi-

300MHz to 450MHz Frequency-Programmable
ASK/FSK Transmitter
The MAX7057 supports data rates up to 100kbps NRZ
in both ASK and FSK modes. In FSK mode, the frequency deviation can be programmed as low as ±2kHz
and as high as ±100kHz.
Power Amplifier (PA)
The PA of the MAX7057 is a high-efficiency, open-drain
switching-mode amplifier. In a switching-mode amplifier, the gate of the final-stage FET is driven with a very
sharp 25% duty-cycle square wave at the transmit frequency. This square wave is derived from the synthesizer circuit. When the matching network is tuned
correctly, the output FET resonates the attached matching circuit with a minimum amount of power dissipated
in the FET. With a proper output-matching network, the
PA can drive a wide range of antenna impedances,
which include a small-loop PCB trace and a 50Ω antenna. The output-matching network suppresses the carrier harmonics and transforms the antenna impedance to
an optimal impedance at PAOUT, which is from 125Ω
to 250Ω.
When the output-matching network is properly tuned,
the PA transmits power with a high overall efficiency of
up to 25%. The efficiency of the PA itself is more than
39%. The output power can be adjusted by changing
the impedance seen by the PA or by adjusting the
value of an external resistor at PAOUT.
Variable Capacitor
The MAX7057 has a set of internal variable shunt
capacitors that can be switched in and out to present
different capacitor values at the PA output. The capacitors are connected from the PA output to ground. This
allows changing the tuning network along with the synthesizer divide ratio each time the transmitted frequency
changes, making it possible to maintain maximum transmitter power while moving rapidly from one frequency to
another.
When the particular capacitance control bit is high, the
corresponding amount of shunt capacitance is added at
PAOUT. The 32 capacitor values are selected using the
SPI; the capacitance resolution is 0.25pF. The total
capacitance can vary from 0 to 7.75pF. For example, if
cap[1] and cap[3] are high, and cap[4], cap[2], and
cap[0] are low, this circuit will add 2.5pF at PAOUT. See
Table 1 for variable capacitor values and control bits.
Fractional-N Phase-Locked Loop (PLL)
The MAX7057 utilizes a fully integrated fractional-N PLL
for its transmit frequency synthesizer. All PLL components, including the loop filter, are included on-chip.
The loop bandwidth is programmable to either 300kHz
or 600kHz. See Tables 2, 3, and 4 for “pllbw” bit
description. The 16-bit fractional-N topology allows the
transmit frequency to be adjusted in increments of
fXTAL/4096. The allowable range of the fRF/fXTAL ratio is
approximately 19 to 28.
The fractional-N topology also allows exact FSK frequency deviations to be programmed, completely eliminating the problems associated with generating
frequency deviations by crystal oscillator pulling.
The integer and fractional portions of the PLL divider
ratio set the transmit frequency. The following example
shows how to determine the correct values to be
loaded to registers HIFREQ1, HIFREQ0, LOFREQ1, and
LOFREQ0. See Tables 2, 3, and 7–10 for a detailed
description of these registers.

The MAX7057 features an internal envelope-shaping

PAVDD and ROUT. When connected to the PA pullup
inductor, the envelope-shaping resistor slows the turnon/-off time of the PA and results in a smaller spectral
width of the modulated PA output signal.

MAX7057
nates the problems associated with crystal-pulling FSK
signal generation. The multiplying factor of the PLL is
set by a 16-bit number, with 4 bits for integer and 12
bits for fraction. The 12-bit fraction in the synthesizer
results in a tuning resolution that is equal to the reference frequency divided by 4096.
The MAX7057 has an internal variable shunt capacitor
connected at the PA output. This capacitor is controlled
using the SPI to maintain highly efficient transmission at
any frequency within a 1.47 to 1 (28/19) tuning range.
This means that it is possible to change the frequency
and retune the antenna to the new frequency in a very
short time. The combination of rapid-antenna tuning
ability with rapid-synthesizer tuning makes the
MAX7057 a true frequency-agile transmitter. The tuning
capacitor has a resolution of 0.25pF. The MAX7057
also features adjustable output power through an external resistor to nearly +10dBm into a 50Ω load at +2.7V.
MAX7057
300MHz to 450MHz Frequency-Programmable
ASK/FSK Transmitter
Due to the nature of the transmit PLL frequency divider,
a fixed offset of 16 must be subtracted from the transmit PLL divider ratio for programming the MAX7057’s
transmit frequency registers. To determine the value to
program the MAX7057’s transmit frequency registers,
convert the decimal value of the following equation to
the nearest hexadecimal value:
⎛ fRF
⎞
-16⎟ × 4096 = Decimal value to program
⎜f
⎝ XTAL
⎠
transmit frequency registers
Assume that the ASK transmit frequency = 315MHz
and fXTAL = 16MHz. In this example, the rounded decimal value is 15,104, or 0x3B00 hexadecimal. The upper
2 bytes (0x3B) are loaded into the LOFREQ1 register,
and the low 2 bytes (0x00) are loaded into the
LOFREQ0 register. In ASK mode, the transmit frequency equals the lower frequency programmed into the
MAX7057’s transmit frequency registers (see Tables 2,
3, and 9–12).
In FSK mode, the transmit frequencies equal the upper
(HIFREQ1 and HIFREQ0) and lower (LOFREQ1 and
LOFREQ0) frequencies programmed into the MAX7057’s
transmit frequency registers. Calculate the upper and
lower frequency in the same way as shown above. FSK
deviations as low as ±2kHz and as high as ±100kHz are
programmable (see Tables 2, 3, and 8–12).
The exact min and max values for the transmit frequency registers (HIFREQ1/0, LOFREQ1/0) are 2.9596
(0x2F42) and 12.0220 (0xC05A), yielding a synthesizer
ratio of 18.9596 and 28.0220, respectively. These limits
MUST be followed to prevent the delta-sigma modulator from overflowing.
Whenever all of the fractional bits in the HIFREQ1/0 and
LOFREQ1/0 registers are zero (fhi[11:0] and flo[11:0]),
only an integer divider is used, and the delta-sigma
modulator is not in operation. This allows lower current
operation. The 600kHz PLL bandwidth should be used
in this mode to reduce phase noise.
Any change to the transmit frequency registers must be
followed by writing a “1” to the self-reset frequency load
register (see Tables 2, 3, and 12).
Crystal (XTAL) Oscillator
The crystal (XTAL) oscillator in the MAX7057 is
designed to present a capacitance of approximately
10
6pF between XTAL1 and XTAL2. In most cases, this
corresponds to an 8pF load capacitance applied to the
external crystal when typical PCB parasitics are added.
The MAX7057 is designed to operate with a typical
10pF load capacitance crystal. It is very important to
use a crystal with a load capacitance that is equal to
the capacitance of the MAX7057 crystal oscillator
plus PCB parasitics and optional external load
capacitors. If a crystal designed to oscillate with a different load capacitance is used, the crystal is pulled
away from its stated operating frequency, introducing
an error in the reference frequency. A crystal designed
to operate at a higher load capacitance than the value
specified for the oscillator is always pulled higher in frequency. Adding capacitance to increase the load
capacitance on the crystal increases the start-up time
and can prevent oscillation altogether.
In actuality, the oscillator pulls every crystal. The crystal’s natural frequency is 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 already 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:
fp =
Cm ⎛
1
⎜
2 ⎝ Ccase + Cload
−
⎞
1
6
⎟ × 10
Ccase + Cspec ⎠
where:
fp is the amount the crystal frequency is pulled in ppm
Cm is the motional capacitance of the crystal
Ccase is the case capacitance
Cspec is the specified load capacitance
Cload is the actual load capacitance
When the crystal is loaded as specified (i.e., Cload =
Cspec), the frequency pulling equals zero.
Communication Protocol
The MAX7057 registers are programmed through an SPI
interface. Figure 2 shows the timing diagram of the SPI.
The GPO must be properly configured to act as an SPI
data output (SDO) by setting the configuration 1 register
(see Tables 2, 3, 15, and 16).
The SPI operates on a byte format, according to Figure 2.

the MAX7057 SPI are described in detail below:
Write: The write command (0x01) is used to program
the MAX7057 registers (see Tables 2 and 3). The format shown in Figure 3 must be followed, allowing all the
registers to be programmed within one CS cycle.
Using a byte descriptive notation, the write command
can be viewed as the following sequence:
SDI: <0x01> <Initial Address> <Data 0> <Data 1> … <Data N>
Data 0 is then written to the register addressed by
<Initial Address>, Data 1 is written to <Initial Address +
1>, and so on.
Read: To execute an SPI read operation, the generalpurpose output (GPO) pin must be configured to either
a CKOUT_SDO or SDO function (see Tables 15 and 16
for details).

Features and Settings
Values and parameters are set through registers in the
MAX7057 that are addressable through the SPI. These
registers contain bits that either turn functions on and
off or program numerical settings. The following settings are controlled through the SPI.
Clock Output
The MAX7057 has a buffered clock output that can
serve as a clock for a microprocessor. The divide ratio
is set through the configuration 0 register (see Tables 5
and 6). The divide settings are 1 (no division), 2, 4, 8, or
16; the original undivided frequency is based on the
reference frequency generated by the external crystal.
The buffered clock output is available at GPO when
enabled by setting the configuration 1 register (see
Tables 2, 3, 15, and 16).
Mode Select and Crystal Shutdown
The transmission mode is selected by writing to a register. The default mode is ASK and the mode can be
changed to FSK by writing a 1 to the mode bit in the
control register. This register is also used to keep the
crystal circuit powered up in the shutdown mode.

Variable Capacitor
The internal variable shunt capacitor, which is instrumental in matching the PA to the antenna, is controlled
by setting 5 bits in the configuration 0 register. This
allows for 32 levels of shunt capacitance control. Since
the control of these 5 bits is independent of the other
settings, any capacitance value can be chosen at any
frequency, making it possible to maintain maximum
transmitter efficiency while moving rapidly from one frequency to another.

Applications Information
Output Matching to 50Ω
When matched to a 50Ω system, the MAX7057’s PA is
capable of delivering +9.2dBm of output power at
PAVDD = +2.7V with a broadband match. The output of
the PA is an open-drain transistor, which has internal
selectable shunt tuning capacitors (see the Variable
Capacitor section) for impedance matching. It is connected to PAVDD or ROUT through a pullup inductor
for proper biasing. The internal selectable shunt capacitors make it easy for tuning when changing the output
frequency. The pullup inductor from the PA to PAVDD
or ROUT serves three main purposes: resonating the
capacitive PA output, providing biasing for the PA, and
acting as a high-frequency choke to prevent RF energy
from coupling onto the supply voltage. The pi network
between the PA output and the antenna also forms a
lowpass filter that provides attenuation for the higherorder harmonics.
Output Matching to PCB Loop Antenna
In many applications, the MAX7057 must be impedance-matched to a small-loop antenna. The antenna is
usually fabricated out of a copper trace on a PCB in a
rectangular, circular, or square pattern. The antenna
has an impedance that consists of a lossy component
and a radiative component. To achieve high radiating
efficiency, the radiative component should be as high
as possible, while minimizing the lossy component. In
addition, a loop antenna has an inherent loop inductance associated with it (assuming the antenna is terminated to ground). In a typical application, the
inductance of the loop antenna is approximately 50nH
to 100nH. The radiative and lossy impedances can be
anywhere from a few tenths of an ohm to 5Ω or 10Ω.
Layout Considerations
A properly designed PCB is an essential part of any
RF/microwave circuit. At 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 in the order of
λ/10 or longer act as antennas, where λ is the wavelength.
Keeping the traces short also reduces parasitic inductance. Generally, 1in of PCB 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 to a 100nH inductor adds an extra 10nH of
inductance, or 10%.
To reduce parasitic inductance, use wider traces and a
solid ground or power plane below the signal traces.
Using a solid ground plane can reduce the parasitic
inductance from approximately 20nH/in to 7nH/in. Also,
use low-inductance connections to the ground plane,
and place decoupling capacitors as close as possible
to all VDD pins.
