MICRF002/RF022
300-440MHz QwikRadio™ASK Receiver
Final Information
General Description
The MICRF002 is a single chip ASK/OOK (ON-OFF Keyed)
RF receiver IC. This device is a true “antenna-in to data-out”
monolithic device. All RF and IF tuning is accomplished
automatically within the IC which eliminates manual tuning
and reduces production costs. The result is a highly reliable
yet low cost solution.
The MICRF002 is a fully featured part in 16-pin packaging,
the MICRF022 is the same part packaged in 8-pin packaging
with a reduced feature set (see “Ordering Information” for
more information).
The MICRF002 is an enhanced version of the MICRF001
and MICRF011. The MICRF002 provides two additional
functions over the MICRF001/011, (1) a Shutdown pin, which
may be used to turn the device off for duty-cycled operation,
and (2) a “Wake-up” output, which provides an output flag
indicating when an RF signal is present. These features make
the MICRF002 ideal for low and ultra-low power applications,
such as RKE and remote controls.
All IF filtering and post-detection (demodulator) data filtering
is provided within the MICRF002, so no external filters are
necessary. One of four demodulator filter bandwidths may be
selected externally by the user.
The MICRF002 offer two modes of operation; fixed-mode
(FIX) and sweep-mode (SWP). In fixed mode the MICRF002
functions as a conventional superhet receiver. In sweep
mode the MICRF002 employs a patented sweeping function
to sweep a wider RF spectrum. Fixed-mode provides better
selectivity and sensitivity performance and sweep mode
enables the MICRF002 to be used with low cost, imprecise
transmitters.

The standard 16-pin package allows complete control of all
configurable features. Some reduced function 8-pin versions
are also available, see “Ordering Information” above.
For high-volume applications additional customized 8-pin
devices can be produced. SWEN, SEL0 and SEL1 pins are
internally bonded to reduce the pin count. pin 6 may be
configured as either SHUT or WAKEB.

Exceeding the absolute maximum rating may damage the device.
The device is not guaranteed to function outside its operating rating.
Devices are ESD sensitive, use appropriate ESD precautions. Meets class 1 ESD test requirements, (human body model HBM), in accor-
dance with MIL-STD-883C, method 3015. Do not operate or store near strong electrostatic fields.
Sensitivity is defined as the average signal level measured at the input necessary to achieve 10
-2
BER (bit error rate). The RF input is
assumed to be matched to 50Ω.
Spurious reverse isolation represents the spurious components which appear on the RF input pin (ANT) measured into 50Ω with an input RF
matching network.
Parameter scales linearly with reference oscillator frequency f

Note 8:
Series resistance of the resonator (ceramic resonator or crystal) should be minimized to the extent possible. In cases where the resonator
series resistance is too great, the oscillator may oscillate at a diminished peak-to-peak level, or may fail to oscillate entirely. Micrel recom-
mends that series resistances for ceramic resonators and crystals not exceed 50Ohms and 100Ohms respectively. Refer to Application Hint
35 for crystal recommendations.
