MICRF113
300MHz to 450MHz
+10dBm
ASK Transmitter in SOT23
General Description
The MICRF113 is a high-performance, easy-to-use, single-
chip 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/On-
Off Keyed (ASK/OOK) UHF receiver types from wide-band
super-regenerative
radios
to
narrow-band,
high-
performance
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.
