MICRF211AYQS Pin Configuration

16-Pin QSOPPin NamePin Function
1RO1Reference resonator input connection to Colpitts oscillator stage. May also be driven by external reference signal of 1.5V p-p amplitude maximum.
2GNDRFNegative supply connection associated with ANT RF input.
3ANTRF signal input from antenna. Internally AC coupled. It is recommended that a matching network with an inductor -to-RF ground is used to improve ESD protection.
4GNDRFNegative supply connection associated with ANT RF input.
5VDDPositive supply connection for all chip functions.
6SQSquelch control logic input with an active internal pull-up when not shut down.
7SEL0Logic control input with active internal pull-up. Used in conjunction with SEL1 to control the demodulator low pass filter bandwidth. (See filter table for SEL0 and SEL1 in application section)
8SHDNShutdown logic control input. Active internal pull-up.
9GNDNegative supply connection for all chip functions except RF input.
10DODemodulated data output.
11SEL1Logic control input with active internal pull-up. Used in conjunction with SEL0 to control the demodulator low pass filter bandwidth. (See filter table for SEL0 and SEL1 in application section)
12CTHDemodulation threshold voltage integration capacitor connection. Tie an external capacitor across CTH pin and GND to set the settling time for the demodulation data slicing level. Values above 1nF are recommended and should be optimized for data rate and data profile.
13CAGCAGC filter capacitor connection. CAGC capacitor, normally greater than 0.47μF, is connected from this pin to GND
14RSSIReceived signal strength indication output. Output is from a buffer with 200Ω typical output impedance.
15NCNot Connected (Connect to Ground)
16RO2Reference resonator input connection to Colpitts oscillator stage, 7pF, in parallel with low resistance MOS switch-to-GND, during normal operation. Driven by startup excitation circuit during the internal startup control sequence.
