MICRF218
3.3V, 315/433MHz Wide-IF Bandwidth ASK
Receiver
General Description
The MICRF218 is a 3.0V to 3.6V, 300MHz to 450MHz
ASK/OOK super-heterodyne receiver with user
selectable Intermediate Frequency (IF) Bandwidths of
550kHz or 1500kHz at 433.92MHz, making it an
excellent solution for use with low-cost SAW-based
transmitters or transmitters which use low-cost, medium-
grade (~30ppm) crystals. The device requires a single,
low-cost crystal to select the proper RF frequency,
integrated Automatic Gain Control (AGC), data slicer,
and programmable baseband filter bandwidths of
1.6kHz to 13kHz allowing the device to support bit-rates
up to 20kbps at 433.92MHz.
The MICRF218 consumes 4.0mA of supply current at
315MHz and 5.5mA of supply current at 433.92MHz.
The device also features a low-power shutdown mode
where the device consumes 1µA of supply current. The
device achieves a sensitivity of -108dBm at 1kbps. For
transmitters using higher-quality (~10ppm) crystals, the
MICRF219A/MICRF220 offer an IF-bandwidth of
330kHz and a sensitivity of -110dBm at 1kbps, which
can provide better sensitivity and longer range
performance.

Pin Function
Reference resonator input connection to Colpitts oscillator stage. May also be driven by external
reference signal of 1.5V p-p amplitude maximum.
Negative supply connection associated with ANT RF input.
RF signal input from antenna. Internally AC-Coupled. It is recommended that a matching network with an
inductor to RF ground is used to improve ESD protection.
Negative supply connection associated with ANT RF input.
Positive supply connection for all chip functions.
IF bandwidth control logic input. Use VDD for Wide IF Bandwidth or VSS for Narrow IF Bandwidth. This
pin must not be left floating, must be tied to VDD or VSS.
Logic control input with active internal pull-up. Used in conjunction with SEL1 to control the demodulator
low pass filter bandwidth. (See filter table for SEL0 and SEL1 in application subsection)
Shutdown logic control input. Active internal pull-up and must be pulled low for Normal Operation.
Negative supply connection for all chip functions except RF input.
Demodulated data output.
Logic control input with active internal pull-up. Used in conjunction with SEL0 to control the demodulator
low pass filter bandwidth. (See filter table for SEL0 and SEL1 in application subsection)
Demodulation threshold voltage integration capacitor. Capacitor to GND sets the settling time for the
demodulation data slicing level. Values above 1nF are recommended and should be optimized for data
rate and data profile.
AGC filter capacitor. A capacitor, normally greater than 0.47uF, is connected from this pin to GND
Received signal strength indication output. Output is from a buffer with 200 ohms typical output
impedance.
Not Connected
Reference resonator connection. 7pF in parallel with low resistance MOS switch to GND during normal
operation. Driven by startup excitation circuit during the internal startup control sequence.

The device is not guaranteed to function outside its operating rating.
Device are ESD sensitive. Use appropriate ESD precaution. Exceeding the absolute maximum rating may damage the device.
Sensitivity is defined as the average signal level measured at the input necessary to achieve 10-2 BER (bit error rate). The input signal
is defined as a return-to-zero (RZ) waveform with 50% average duty cycle (Manchester encoded) at a data rate of 1kBPS. Conductive
measurement is performed using 50 ohm test circuit .
Spurious reverse isolation represents the spurious component that appear on the RF input pin (ANT) measured into 50 Ohms with an
input RF matching network.
When data burst does not contain preamble, the duty cycle is then defined as total duty cycle, including any “quiet” time between
data bursts. When data bursts contain preamble sufficient to charge the slice level on capacitor Cth, then duty cycle is the effective
duty cycle of the burst alone. [For example, 100msec burst with 50% duty cycle, and 100msec “quiet” time between bursts. If burst
includes preamble, duty cycle is T
ON
/(T

) = 50%; without preamble, duty cycle is T

frequencies (called F
