GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The ADF7011 is a low power OOK/ASK/FSK/GFSK UHF
transmitter designed for use in ISM band systems. It contains
and integrated VCO and
Σ-∆
fractional-N PLL. The output
power, channel spacing, and output frequency are program-
mable with four 24-bit registers. The fractional-N PLL enables
the user to select any channel frequency within the European
433 MHz and 868 MHz bands, allowing the use of the ADF7011
in frequency hopping systems. The fractional-N also allows the
transmitter to operate in the less congested sub-bands of the
868 MHz to 870 MHz SRD band.
It is possible to choose from the four different modulation
schemes: Binary or Gaussian Frequency Shift Keying (FSK/
GFSK), Amplitude Shift Keying (ASK), or On/Off Keying
(OOK). The device also features a crystal compensation register
that can provide
±
1 ppm resolution in the output frequency.
Indirect temperature compensation of the crystal can be accom-
plished inexpensively using this register.
Control of the four on-chip registers is via a simple 3-wire inter-
face. The devices operate with a power supply ranging from
2.3 V to 3.6 V and can be powered down when not in use.

The output power is limited by the spurious requirements of ETSI at +55 C. The addition of an output filter (see Applications section) will allow increased output
levels to >10 dBm at both 433 MHz and 868 MHz

These spurious levels are based on a maximum output power of +3 dBm for 868 MHz and +10 dBm for 433 MHz. It assumes a PFD frequency of <5 MHz.
Recommended PFD frequencies are 4.42368 MHz (22.1184/5) for 868 MHz, and 4 MHz for 433 MHz operation. Compliance for higher output powers will require
an external filter. See Applications section.

CAUTION
ESD (electrostatic discharge) sensitive device. Electrostatic charges as high as 4000 V readily
accumulate on the human body and test equipment and can discharge without detection. Although the
ADF7011 features proprietary ESD protection circuitry, permanent damage may occur on devices
subjected to high energy electrostatic discharges. Therefore, proper ESD precautions are recommended
to avoid performance degradation or loss of functionality.

Charge Pump Supply. This should be biased at the same level as RF
OUT
and DV
DD
. The pin should be
decoupled with a 0.1
µF
capacitor as close to the pin as possible.
Charge Pump Ground.
Charge Pump Output. This output generates current pulses that are integrated in the loop filter. The
integrated current changes the control voltage on the input to the VCO.
Chip Enable. A logic low applied to this pin powers down the part. This must be high for the part to
function. This is the only way to power down the regulator circuit.
Serial Data Input. The serial data is loaded MSB first with the two LSBs being the control bits. This is a
high impedance CMOS input.
Serial Clock Input. This serial clock is used to clock in the serial data to the registers. The data is latched
into the 24-bit shift register on the CLK rising edge. This input is a high impedance CMOS input.
Load Enable, CMOS Input. When LE goes high, the data stored in the shift registers is loaded into one
of the four latches, the latch being selected using the control bits.
Digital data to be transmitted is input on this pin.
GFSK Only. This clock output is used to synchronize microcontroller data to the TxDATA pin of the
ADF7011. The clock is provided at the same frequency as the data rate.
This multiplexer output allows either the digital lock detect (most common), the scaled RF, or the scaled
reference frequency to be accessed externally. Used commonly for system debug. See the Function Regis-
ter Map.
Ground Pin for the RF Digital Circuitry.
The Divided Down Crystal Reference with 50:50 Mark-Space Ratio. May be used to drive the clock
input of a microcontroller. To reduce spurious components in the output spectrum, the sharp edges can
be reduced with a series RC. For 4.8 MHz output clock, a series 50
Ω
into 10 pF will reduce spurs to
< –50 dBc. Defaults on power-up to divide by 16.
Oscillator Pin. If a single-ended reference (such as a TCXO) is used, it should be applied to this pin.
When using an external signal generator, a 51
Ω
resistor should be tied from this pin to ground. The
XOE
bit in the R register should set high when using an external reference.
