Datasheet
General Description
The MAX1470 is a fully integrated low-power CMOS
superheterodyne receiver for use with amplitude-shift-
keyed (ASK) data in the 315MHz band. With few required
external components, and a low-current power-down
mode, it is ideal for cost- and power-sensitive applica-
tions in the consumer markets. The chip consists of a
315MHz low-noise amplifier (LNA), an image rejection
mixer, a fully integrated 315MHz phase-lock-loop (PLL), a
10.7MHz IF limiting amplifier stage with received-signal-
strength indicator (RSSI) and an ASK demodulator, and
analog baseband data-recovery circuitry.
The MAX1470 is available in a 28-pin TSSOP package.
