Overview

  • ASK/OOK Modulation
  • < 250µs Enable Turn-On Time
  • On-Chip PLL, VCO, Mixer, IF, Baseband
  • Low IF (200kHz Nominal)
  • 5.5mA DC Current
  • 1µA Standby Current
  • 3.3V/5V Operation
  • Small 20-Pin Thin QFN Package with an Exposed Pad
  • AEC-Q100 Qualified

The MAX7036 low-cost receiver is designed to receive amplitude-shift-keyed (ASK) and on-off-keyed (OOK) data in the 300MHz to 450MHz frequency range. The receiver has an RF input signal range of -109dBm to 0dBm.

The MAX7036 requires few external components and has a power-down pin to put it in a low-current sleep mode, making it ideal for cost- and power-sensitive applications. The low-noise amplifier (LNA), phase-locked loop (PLL), mixer, IF filter, received-signal-strength indicator (RSSI), and baseband sections are all on-chip. The MAX7036 uses a very-low intermediate frequency (VLIF) architecture. The MAX7036 integrates the IF filter on-chip and therefore eliminates an external ceramic filter, reducing the bill-of-materials cost. The device also contains an on-chip automatic gain control (AGC) that reduces the LNA gain by 30dB when the input signal power is large. The MAX7036 operates from either a 5V or a 3.3V power supply and draws 5.5mA (typ) of current.

The MAX7036 is available in a 20-pin thin QFN package with an exposed pad and is specified over the AEC-Q100 Level 2 (-40°C to +105°C) temperature range.

Features and Benefits

  • Evaluates the MAX7036 Sub-1GHz ISM Receiver
  • 3.3V/5V Power Supply Operation or Powered from the USB Interface
  • Direct Interface with the Included MAX32630FTHR ARM Microcontroller (MCU) Board
  • Available in 315MHz- or 433.92MHz-Optimized Versions
  • Available PMOD Hardware Interface
  • Windows 10-Compatible Software
  • GUI Controls for MAX32630FTHR Board PMIC Operation
  • Proven 2-Layer PCB Design
  • Fully Assembled and Tested

Product Details

The MAX7036 evaluation kit simplifies the evaluation of the MAX7036, a low-power, sub-GHz, VLIF receiver designed to demodulate Amplitude-Shift Keying (ASK) or On-Off Keyed (OOK) data in the 300MHz to 450MHz frequency range.

The MAX7036 EV kit operates in conjunction with an external Microcontroller (MCU) and Graphical User Interface (GUI) software running on a computer.

The MAX7036EVKIT is available in two versions, each tuned to a different operating frequency: 315MHz (MAX7036EVKIT-315) and 433.92MHz (MAX7036EVKIT-433). The crystal and passive components are optimized for these two frequencies but can easily be changed to work at any RF frequency between 300MHz and 450MHz.

The EV kit includes Windows®10-compatible software that provides a simple GUI. The GUI controls the on-board PMIC and provides a quick start configuration to evaluate the MAX7036 functionality, when the MAX32630FTHR Applications Platform is used.

Applications

  • Garage Door Openers
  • Home Automation
  • Low-Cost RKE
  • Remote Controls
  • Security Systems
