MICRF219A
300MHz to 450MHz ASK/OOK Receiver with
Auto-Poll, RSSI, and Squelch
General Description
The MICRF219A 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 MICRF219A is ideal for low-cost, low-power, RKE,
TPMS, and remote actuation applications.
The MICRF219A 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.
Tie this pin to VDD to ensure robust register programming. Use register bits D[4:3] to set 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. To ensure
that the part starts up correctly, connect a 1μF capacitor from VDD to SHDN, and a 50kΩ resistor from
SHDN pin to GND. After the supply voltage settles, apply a HIGH logic level voltage to SHDN to turn the
part off, then a LOW logic level voltage to turn the part on before programming or operating the device.
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.
Tie this pin to VDD to ensure robust register programming. Use register bits D[4:3] to set demodulation
bandwidth.

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 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 test, the typical source impedance value is verified with
12MHz reference frequency.
