Detailed Description
I2C-Compatible Serial Interface
The MAX3543 uses a 2-wire I2C-compatible serial interface consisting of a serial data line (SDA) and a serial
clock line (SCL). SDA and SCL facilitate bidirectional
communication between the MAX3543 and the master
at clock frequencies up to 400kHz. The master initiates a
data transfer on the bus and generates the SCL signal to
permit data transfer. The MAX3543 behaves as a slave
device that transfers and receives data to and from the
master. Pull SDA and SCL high with external pullup resistors for proper bus operation.
One bit is transferred during each SCL clock cycle. A
minimum of nine clock cycles is required to transfer a
byte in or out of the MAX3543 (8 data bits and an ACK/
NACK). The data on SDA must remain stable during the
high period of the SCL clock pulse. Changes in SDA
while SCL is high and stable are considered control signals (see the START and STOP Conditions section). Both
SDA and SCL remain high when the bus is not busy.
START and STOP Conditions
The master initiates a transmission with a START condition (S), which is a high-to-low transition on SDA while
SCL is high. The master terminates a transmission with a
STOP condition (P), which is a low-to-high transition on
SDA while SCL is high.
Acknowledge and Not-Acknowledge Conditions
Data transfers are framed with an acknowledge bit (ACK)
or a not-acknowledge bit (NACK). Both the master and
the MAX3543 (slave) generate acknowledge bits. To
generate an acknowledge, the receiving device must
pull SDA low before the rising edge of the acknowledgerelated clock pulse (ninth pulse) and keep it low during
the high period of the clock pulse.
To generate a not-acknowledge condition, the receiver
allows SDA to be pulled high before the rising edge
of the acknowledge-related clock pulse, and leaves
SDA high during the high period of the clock pulse.
Monitoring the acknowledge bits allows for detection of
unsuccessful data transfers. An unsuccessful data transfer happens if a receiving device is busy or if a system
fault has occurred. In the event of an unsuccessful data
transfer, the bus master must reattempt communication
at a later time.
Slave Address
The MAX3543 has a 7-bit slave address plus one R/W
bit. These 8 bits must be sent to the device following a
START condition to initiate communication. The slave
address is determined by the state of the ADDR pin as
shown in Table 2.

NOTE: TIMING PARAMETERS CONFORM WITH I2C BUS SPECIFICATIONS.
Figure 1. MAX3543 Slave Address Byte. Example shows read address 0x0C1 (ADDR pin grounded).
The MAX3543 continuously awaits a START condition followed by its slave address. When the device recognizes
its slave address, it acknowledges by pulling the SDA
line low for one clock period; it is ready to accept or send
data depending on the R/W bit (Figure 1).
Write Cycle
When addressed with a write command, the MAX3543
allows the master to write to a single register or to multiple successive registers.
A write cycle begins with the bus master issuing a START
condition followed by the 7 slave address bits and a write
bit (R/W = 0). The MAX3543 issues an ACK if the slave
address byte is successfully received. The bus master
must then send to the slave the address of the first register it wishes to write to. If the slave acknowledges the
address, the master can then write 1 byte to the register
at the specified address. Data is written beginning with
the most significant bit. The MAX3543 again issues an
ACK if the data is successfully written to the register.
The master can continue to write data to the successive
internal registers with the MAX3543 acknowledging each
successful transfer, or it can terminate transmission by
issuing a STOP condition. The write cycle does not terminate until the master issues a STOP condition.

Figure 2 illustrates an example in which registers 0, 1,

Read Cycle
A read cycle begins with the bus master issuing a START
condition followed by the 7 slave address bits and a
write bit (R/W = 0). The MAX3543 issues an ACK if the
slave address byte is successfully received. The master
then sends the 8-bit address of the first register that it
wishes to read. The MAX3543 then issues another ACK.
Next, the master must issue a START condition followed
by the 7 slave address bits and a read bit (R/W = 1). The
MAX3543 issues an ACK if it successfully recognizes
its address and begins sending data from the specified register address starting with the most significant
bit (MSB). Data is clocked out of the MAX3543 on the
rising edge of SCL. On the ninth rising edge of SCL, the
master can issue an ACK and continue reading successive registers or it can issue a NACK followed by a STOP
condition to terminate transmission. The read cycle does
not terminate until the master issues a STOP condition.
Figure 3 illustrates an example in which registers 0 and
1 are read back.

Control Register Description
The MAX3543 includes 18 programmable registers,
two status registers (read only), one register for ROM
readback (read only), and one for Maxim use only. The
programmable registers configure the VCO settings, PLL
settings, detector and AGC settings, state control, bias
adjustments, individual block shutdown, and the tracking filter frequency. These programmable registers are
also readable. The read-only registers include two status
registers and a ROM table data register.
Typical bit settings are provided only for user convenience and are not guaranteed at power-up. All registers
must be written no earlier than 100Fs after power-up
or recovery from a brownout event (i.e., when VCC
drops below 1V) to initialize the registers. Then follow
up by rewriting the registers needed for channel/frequency programming (i.e., registers R00–R04). The typical values listed in Table 3 configure the MAX3543 for
DTV reception with 16MHz crystal, 8MHz channel BW,
36.15MHz IF center frequency, differential LC bandpass
filter, and 666MHz RF center frequency.

Applications Information
RF Inputs and Filters
The MAX3543 features separate low- and high-frequency
inputs. These two inputs are combined to a single input
by an off-chip diplexer circuit as shown in the Typical
Application Circuit. When the desired channel is less
than 345MHz, use RFINL. When the desired input is
greater than 345MHz, use RFINH. Further, when the
desired input is less than 110MHz, an internal lowpass
filter should be enabled to limit high-frequency interference incident at the mixer input. The lowpass filter is
enabled by the RFLPF bit in R05[5].
Besides selecting the appropriate input port and setting
RFLPF appropriately, one of three tracking filters must
be chosen based on the desired frequency. Set TFB
(R05[3:2]) to select VHFL, VHFH, or UHF tracking filter
bands. Use VHFL when the desired frequency is less
than 196MHz, use VHFH when the desired frequency
is between 196MHz and 440MHz, or use UHF when the
desired frequency is greater than 440MHz.
RF Gain Control
The MAX3543 is designed to control its own RF gain
based on internally measured signal and blocker levels.
The user can adjust the AGC attack points (takeover
points) by setting WDPA and NDPA in register R0B.
Alternatively, the user can control the RF gain by driving
the RFVGC input pin.
VCO and VCO Divider Selection
The MAX3543 frequency synthesizer includes three
VCOs with 16 sub-bands for each VCO. These VCOs
and sub-bands are selected to best center the VCO
near the operating frequency. This selection process is
performed automatically by the VAS circuitry. The Maxim
driver software seeds the VCO starting band for fastest
selection time.
In addition to VCO selection, a VCO divider value of 32,
16, 8, or 4 must be selected to provide the desired mixer
LO drive frequency. The divider is selected by VDIV in
register R00[1:0].
Reading the ROM Table
The MAX3543 includes 13 ROM registers to store factory calibration data (see Table 26). Each ROM table
entry must be read using a two-step process. First,
the address of the ROM bits to be read must be programmed into the ROM ADDR register (R0E[3:0]).
Once the address has been programmed, the data
stored in that address is automatically transferred to the
ROM READBACK register (R10[7:0]). The ROM data at
the specified address can then be read from the ROM
READBACK register and stored in the microprocessor’s
local memory. After all ROM registers have been read
and stored in the microprocessor’s local memory, ROM
ADDR must be programmed to 00 for proper operation.

Setting RF Tracking Filter Codes
The MAX3543 includes a programmable tracking filter
for each band of operation to optimize rejection of outof-band interference while minimizing insertion loss for
the desired received signal. The center frequency of
each tracking filter is selected by a switched-capacitor
array that is programmed by the TFS[7:0] bits in the R06
register and the TFP[5:0] bits in the R07 register.
Optimal tracking filter settings for each channel vary from
part to part due to process variations. To accommodate
part-to-part variations, each part is factory calibrated by
Maxim. During calibration the correction factors for the
series and parallel tracking capacitor arrays are calculated and written into an internal ROM table. The user must
read the ROM table upon power-up and store the data
in local memory (8 bytes total) to calculate the optimal
TFS and TFP settings for each channel. The equation for
setting TFS and TFP at each channel is available in the
device driver code provided by Maxim. Table 26 shows
the address and bits for each ROM table entry.
Layout Recommendations
IMPORTANT: The MAX3543 includes on-chip tracking
filters that utilize external inductors placed on the PCB
at pins 30 through 37. Because the tracking filters operate at frequencies up to 862MHz, they are sensitive to
the inductor and PCB trace parasitics. To achieve the
optimal RF performance (gain, noise figure, and image
rejection), MAX3543 is production tested and trimmed
with the exact same inductors, their relative location
and orientation, and the trace parasitics present on the
MAX3543 Reference Design. To avoid performance degradation, PCB designs should exactly copy the RF section of the Reference Design layout and use the inductors specified in the Reference Design bill of materials.
Contact Maxim to obtain the Reference Design layout to
use as a starting point for PCB designs.
In addition to the aforementioned requirements, follow
general good RF layout practices. Keep RF signal lines
as short as possible to minimize losses and radiation.
Use controlled impedance on all high-frequency traces.
The exposed paddle must be soldered evenly to the
board’s ground plane for proper operation. Use abundant vias beneath the exposed paddle and maximize
the area of continuous ground plane around the paddle
on the bottom layer for maximum heat dissipation. Use
abundant ground vias between RF traces to minimize
undesired coupling.
To minimize coupling between different sections of the
IC, the ideal power-supply layout is a star configuration, which has a large decoupling capacitor at the
central VCC node. The VCC traces branch out from this
node, with each trace going to separate VCC pins of the
MAX3543. Each VCC pin must have a bypass capacitor
with a low impedance to ground at the frequency of interest. Do not share ground vias among multiple connections to the PCB ground plane.
