300MHz to 450MHz Low-Power,  
Crystal-Based +10dBm ASK/FSK Transmitter  
MAX1479  
General Description  
Features  
The MAX1479 crystal-referenced phase-locked-loop  
(PLL) VHF/UHF transmitter is designed to transmit ASK,  
OOK, and FSK data in the 300MHz to 450MHz frequency  
range. The MAX1479 supports data rates up to 100kbps  
in ASK mode and 20kbps in FSK mode (both  
Manchester coded). The device provides an adjustable  
output power of more than +10dBm into a 50Ω load. The  
crystal-based architecture of the MAX1479 eliminates  
many of the common problems of SAW-based transmit-  
ters by providing greater modulation depth, faster fre-  
quency settling, higher tolerance of the transmit  
frequency, and reduced temperature dependence.  
These improvements enable better overall receiver per-  
formance when using the MAX1479 together with a  
superheterodyne receiver such as the MAX1470,  
MAX1471, MAX1473, or MAX7033.  
o ETSI-Compliant EN300 220  
o +2.1V to +3.6V Single-Supply Operation  
o Supports ASK, OOK, and FSK Modulations  
o Adjustable FSK Shift  
o +10dBm Output Power into 50Ω Load  
o Low Supply Current (6.7mA in ASK Mode,  
and 10.5mA in FSK Mode)  
o Uses Small Low-Cost Crystal  
o Small 16-Pin TQFN Package  
o Fast-On Oscillator—200µs Startup Time  
o Programmable Clock Output  
The MAX1479 is available in a 16-pin TQFN package  
(3mm x 3mm) and is specified for the automotive tem-  
perature range from -40°C to +125°C.

Detailed Description  
The MAX1479 is a highly integrated ASK/FSK transmit-  
ter operating over the 300MHz to 450MHz frequency  
band. The device requires only a few external compo-  
nents to complete a transmitter solution. The MAX1479  
includes a complete PLL and a highly efficient power  
amplifier. The device can be set into a 0.2nA low-power  
shutdown mode.  
Mode Selection  
MODE (pin 2) sets the MAX1479 in either ASK or FSK  
mode. When MODE is set low, the device operates as  
an ASK transmitter. If MODE is set high, the device  
operates as an FSK transmitter. In the ASK mode, the  
DIN pin controls the output of the power amplifier. A  
logic low on DIN turns off the PA, and a logic high turns  
on the PA. In the FSK mode, a logic low on the DIN pin  
is represented by the low FSK frequency, and a logic-  
high input is represented by the high FSK frequency.  
(The ASK carrier frequency and the lower FSK frequen-  
cy are the same.) The deviation is proportional to the  
crystal load impedance and pulling capacitance. The  
Shutdown Mode  
ENABLE (pin 4) is internally pulled down with a 20µA  
current source. If it is left unconnected or pulled low,  
the MAX1479 goes into a low-power shutdown mode.  
In this mode, the supply current drops to 0.2nA. When  
ENABLE is high, the device is enabled and is ready for  
transmission after 200µs (frequency settles to within  
50kHz).  
maximum frequency deviation is 55kHz for f  
=
RF  
315MHz and 80kHz for f = 433MHz.  
RF  
The 200µs turn-on time of the MAX1479 is mostly domi-  
nated by the crystal oscillator startup time. Once the

Clock Output  
The MAX1479 has a dedicated digital output pin for the  
frequency-divided crystal clock signal. This is to be  
used as the time base for a microprocessor. The fre-  
quency-division ratio is programmable through two dig-  
ital input pins (CLK0, CLK1), and is defined in Table 1.  
The clock output is designed to drive a 3.5MHz CMOS  
rail-to-rail signal into a 10pF capacitive load.

Envelope-Shaping Resistor  
The envelope-shaping resistor allows for a gentle turn-  
on/turn-off of the PA in ASK mode. This results in a small-  
er spectral width of the modulated PA output signal.

Phase-Locked Loop  
The PLL block contains a phase detector, charge  
pump, integrated loop filter, VCO, asynchronous 32x  
clock divider, and crystal oscillator. The PLL requires  
no external components. The relationship between the  
carrier and crystal frequency is given by:

XTAL  
Crystal Oscillator  
The crystal oscillator in the MAX1479 is designed to  
present a capacitance of approximately 3pF to ground  
from the XTAL1 and XTAL2 pins in ASK mode. In most  
cases, this corresponds to a 4.5pF load capacitance  
applied to the external crystal when typical PCB para-  
sitics are added. In FSK mode, a percentage (defined  
by bits DEV0 to DEV2) of the 3pF internal crystal oscil-  
lator capacitance is removed for a logic 1 on the DIN  
pin to pull the transmit frequency. The frequency devia-  
tion is shown in Table 2. It is very important to use a  
crystal with a load capacitance that is equal to the  
capacitance of the MAX1479 crystal oscillator plus  
PCB parasitics. If very large FSK frequency deviations  
are desired, use a crystal with a larger motional capaci-  
tance and/or reduce PCB parasitic capacitances.  
Application Circuit delivers +10dBm at a supply volt-  
age of +2.7V, and draws a supply current of 6.7mA for  
ASK/OOK operation (V  
at 50% duty cycle) and  
DIN  
10.5mA for FSK operation. Thus, the overall efficiency  
at 100% duty cycle is 35%. The efficiency of the power  
amplifier itself is about 50%. An external resistor at  
ROUT sets the output power.  
Applications Information  
Output Matching to 50Ω  
When matched to a 50Ω system, the MAX1479 PA is  
capable of delivering more than +10dBm of output  
power at V  
= 2.7V. The output of the PA is an open-  
DD  
drain transistor that requires external impedance  
matching and pullup inductance for proper biasing.  
Power Amplifier  
The PA of the MAX1479 is a high-efficiency, open-drain,  
switch-mode amplifier. With a proper output-matching  
network, the PA can drive a wide range of impedances,  
including small-loop PCB trace antennas and any 50Ω  
antennas. The output-matching network for a 50Ω anten-  
na is shown in the Typical Application Circuit. The out-  
put-matching network suppresses the carrier harmonics  
and transforms the antenna impedance to an optimal  
impedance at PAOUT (pin 8), which is about 250Ω.  
The pullup inductance from PAOUT to V  
serves three  
DD  
main purposes: It forms a resonant tank circuit with the  
capacitance of the PA output, provides biasing for the  
PA, and becomes a high-frequency choke to reduce  
the RF energy coupling into V . Maximum efficiency is  
DD  
achieved when the PA drives a load of 250Ω. The rec-  
ommended output-matching network topology is shown  
in the Typical Application Circuit.  
When the output-matching network is properly tuned,  
the power amplifier is highly efficient. The Typical

The objective of the matching network is to match the  
power-amplifier output to the impedance of the small-  
loop antenna. The matching components thus tune out  
the loop inductance and transform the low radiative  
and resistive parts of the antenna into the much higher  
value of the PA output. This gives higher efficiency. The  
low radiative and lossy components of the small-loop  
antenna result in a higher Q matching network than the  
50Ω network; thus, the harmonics are lower.  
Output Matching to  
PCB Loop Antenna  
In most applications, the MAX1479 power-amplifier out-  
put has to be impedance matched to a small-loop  
antenna. The antenna is usually fabricated out of a cop-  
per trace on a PCB in a rectangular, circular, or square  
pattern. The antenna has an impedance that consists of  
a lossy component and a radiative component. To  
achieve high radiating efficiency, the radiative compo-  
nent should be as high as possible, while minimizing  
the lossy component. In addition, the loop antenna has  
an inherent loop inductance associated with it (assum-  
ing the antenna is terminated to ground). For example,  
in a typical application, the radiative impedance is less  
than 0.5Ω, the lossy impedance is less than 0.7Ω, and  
the inductance is approximately 50nH to 100nH.  
MAX1479  
Layout Considerations  
A properly designed PCB is an essential part of any  
RF/microwave circuit. On the power-amplifier output,  
use controlled-impedance lines and keep them as short  
as possible to minimize losses and radiation.  
Keeping the traces short reduces parasitic inductance.  
Generally, 1in of PCB trace adds about 20nH of para-  
sitic inductance. Parasitic inductance can have a dra-  
matic effect on the effective inductance. For example, a  
0.5in trace connecting a 100nH inductor adds an extra  
10nH of inductance, or 10%.

To reduce the parasitic inductance, use wider traces  
and a solid ground or power plane below the signal  
traces. Using a solid ground plane can reduce the par-  
asitic inductance from approximately 20nH/in to 7nH/in.  
Also, use low-inductance connections to ground on all  
GND pins and place decoupling capacitors close to all
