General Description
The MICRF010 is a single chip, ASK/OOK (ON-OFF
Keyed) RF receiver IC recommended for new designs
replacing the MICRF007. It provides the same function with
sensitivity enhancement, typically 6dB better than the
MICRF007. Just like all other members of the QwikRadio
®
family, the MICRF010 achieves low power operation, a
very high level of integration, and it is particularly easy to
use.
All post-detection data filtering is provided on the
MICRF010, so no external baseband filters are required. In
fact, the entire receiver circuit is made of very few external
components and with the 8-pin SOIC package makes it
ideal for small printed circuit board area applications.
The MICRF010 works in fixed-mode (FIX) operation, which
functions as a conventional super-heterodyne receiver.
Fixed-mode provides better selectivity and sensitivity
performance in comparison with sweep mode used in other
Micrel receivers intended for lower cost applications.

Pin Description
Pin Number Pin Name Pin Function
1 VSS
Ground Return (input): ground return to the power supply. See “Applications Information” for bypass
capacitor details.
2 ANT
Antenna (Input): See “Applications Information” for information on input impedance. For optimal
performance the antenna impedance should be matched to the antenna pin impedance.
3 VDD
Power Supply (Input): Positive Supply input for the RF IC. Connect a low ESL, low ESR decoupling
capacitor from this to VSS, with lead length kept as short as possible.
4 CTH
[Data Slicing] Threshold Capacitor (External Component): Capacitor extracts the DC average value
from the demodulated waveform, which becomes the reference for the internal data slicing comparator.
See “Applications Information” for selection.
5 DO Digital Output (Output): CMOS level compatible data output signal.
6 SHUT
Shutdown (Input): Shutdown-mode logic-level control input. Pull low to enable the receiver. This input
is pulled-up internally to VDD.
7 CAGC
AGC Capacitor (External Component): Integrating capacitor for on-chip AGC (automatic gain control).
See “Applications Information” for capacitor selection.
8 REFOSC
Reference Oscillator (External Component or Input): Timing reference for on-chip tuning and
alignment.
