Low-Cost, 308MHz, 315MHz, and 433.92MHz
FSK Transceiver with Fractional-N PLL
General Description
The MAX7031 crystal-based, fractional-N transceiver is
designed to transmit and receive FSK data at factory-
preset carrier frequencies of 308MHz
†
, 315MHz, or
433.92MHz with data rates up to 33kbps (Manchester
encoded) or 66kbps (NRZ encoded). This device gen-
erates a typical output power of +10dBm into a 50Ω
load, and exhibits typical sensitivity of -110dBm. The
MAX7031 features separate transmit and receive pins
(PAOUT and LNAIN) and provides an internal RF switch
that can be used to connect the transmit and receive
pins to a common antenna.
The MAX7031 transmit frequency is generated by a 16-
bit, fractional-N, phase-locked loop (PLL), while the
receiver’s local oscillator (LO) is generated by an inte-
ger-N PLL. This hybrid architecture eliminates the need
for separate transmit and receive crystal reference
oscillators because the fractional-N PLL is preset to be
10.7MHz above the receive LO. Retaining the fixed-N
PLL for the receiver avoids the higher current-drain
requirements of a fractional-N PLL and keeps the
receiver current drain as low as possible.
The fractional-N architecture of the MAX7031 transmit
PLL allows the transmit FSK signal to be preset for
exact frequency deviations, and completely eliminates
the problems associated with oscillator-pulling FSK sig-
nal generation. All frequency-generation components
are integrated on-chip, and only a crystal, a 10.7MHz IF
filter, and a few discrete components are required to
implement a complete antenna/digital data solution.
The MAX7031 is available in a small, 5mm x 5mm, 32-
pin, thin QFN package, and is specified to operate in
the automotive -40°C to +125°C temperature range.

Input impedance is measured at the LNAIN pin. Note that the impedance at 315MHz includes the 12nH inductive degenera-
tion from the LNA source to ground. The impedance at 434MHz includes a 10nH inductive degeneration connected from the
LNA source to ground. The equivalent input circuit is 50Ω in series with ~2.2pF. The voltage conversion is measured with
the LNA input-matching inductor, the degeneration inductor, and the LNA/mixer tank in place, and does not include the IF
filter insertion loss.
