280MHz To 450MHz Programmable ASK/FSK Transmitter

The MAX7060 frequency and power-programmable ASK/FSK transmitter operates at 280MHz to 450MHz frequencies. This device incorporates a fully integrated fractional-N synthesizer, which allows the user to set the RF operating frequency to a large fraction of the 280MHz to 450MHz frequency range with a single crystal. For example, the MAX7060 CAN be tuned from 285MHz to 420MHz with a 15MHz crystal. The RF output power is user-controlled between +14dBm and -14dBm, with a 5V supply or with battery voltages as low as 3.2V. At the minimum specified battery voltage of 2.1V, the RF output power-control range is between +10dBm and -14dBm. To maintain a good output power match across a broad range of frequencies, the MAX7060 also contains a programmable matching capacitor connected in parallel with the power Amplifier (PA) output.
