MICRF220
300MHz to 450MHz, 3.3V ASK/OOK Receiver
with RSSI and Squelch
General Description
The MICRF220 is a 300MHz to 450MHz super-
heterodyne, image-reject, RF receiver with automatic
gain control, ASK/OOK demodulator, analog RSSI
output, and integrated squelch features. It only requires
a crystal and a minimum number of external components
to implement. The MICRF220 is ideal for low-cost, low-
power, RKE, TPMS, and remote actuation applications.
The MICRF220 achieves
−110dBm
sensitivity at a bit
rate of 1kbps with 0.1% BER. Four demodulator filter
bandwidths are selectable in binary steps from 1625Hz
to 13kHz at 433.92MHz, allowing the device to support
bit rates up to 20kbps. The device operates from a
supply voltage of 3.0V to 3.6V, and typically consumes
4.3mA of supply current at 315MHz and 6.0mA at
433.92MHz. A shutdown mode reduces supply current to
0.1μA typical. The squelch feature decreases the activity
on the data output pin until valid bits are detected while
maintaining overall receiver sensitivity.

Pin Function
Reference resonator connection to the Pierce oscillator. May also be driven by external reference signal of
200mVp-p to 1.5V p-p amplitude maximum. Internal capacitance of 7pF to GND during normal operation.
Ground connection for ANT RF input. Connect to PCB ground plane.
Antenna Input: RF Signal Input from Antenna. Internally AC coupled. It is recommended to use a matching
network with an inductor-to-RF ground to improve ESD protection.
Ground connection for ANT RF input. Connect to PCB ground plane.
Positive supply connection for all chip functions. Bypass with 0.1μF capacitor located as close to the VDD pin
as possible.
Squelch Control Logic-Level Input. An internal pull-up (5μA typical) pulls the logic-input HIGH when the device
is enabled. A logic LOW on SQ squelches, or reduces, the random activity on DO pin when there is no RF
input signal.
Demodulator Filter Bandwidth Select Logic-Level Input. This pin has an internal pull-up (3μA typical) when the
chip is on. Use in conjunction with SEL1 to control demodulation bandwidth.
Shutdown Control Logic-Level Input. A logic-level LOW enables the device. A logic-level HIGH places the
device in low-power shutdown mode. An internal pull-up (5μA typical) pulls the logic input HIGH.
Ground connection for all chip functions except for RF input. Connect to PCB ground plane.
Data Output. Demodulated data output. A current limited CMOS output during normal operation, 25kΩ pull-
down is present when device is in shutdown.
Demodulator Filter Bandwidth Select Logic-Level Input. This pin has an internal pull-up (3μA typical) when the
chip is on. Use in conjunction with SEL0 to Demodulation bandwidth.
Demodulation Threshold Voltage Integration Capacitor. Connect a 0.1μF capacitor from CTH pin-to-GND to
provide a stable slicing threshold.
AGC Filter Capacitor. Connect a capacitor from this pin to GND. Refer to the
AGC Loop and CAGC
section for
information on the capacitor value.
Received Signal Strength Indicator. The voltage on this pin is an inversed amplified version of the voltage on
CAGC. Output is from a switched capacitor integrating op amp with 250Ω typical output impedance.
No Connect. Leave this pin floating.
Reference resonator connection to the Pierce oscillator. Internal capacitance of 7pF to GND during normal
operation.

In an ON/OFF keyed (OOK) signal, the signal level goes between a “mark” level (when the RF signal is ON) and a “space” level (when the RF
signal is OFF). Sensitivity is defined as the input signal level when “ON” necessary to achieve a specified BER (bit error rate). BER measured with
the built-in BERT function in Agilent E4432B using the PN9 sequence. Sensitivity measurement values are obtained using an input matching
network corresponding to 315MHz or 433.92MHz.
CTH source impedance is inversely proportional to the reference frequency. In production testing, the typical source impedance value is verified
with 12MHz reference frequency.
