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.
