GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The ADF7902 is a low power UHF receiver. The device demodu-
lates frequency shift keyed (FSK) signals with 34.8 kHz frequency
deviation and at data rates of up to 2 kbps. There are eight specific
RF channels ranging from 369.5 MHz to 395.9 MHz on which the
receiver can operate. Each channel is selectable by configuring
three digital control lines.
The ADF7902 is designed for low power applications, consuming
18.5 mA (typical) during normal operation and 1 μA (maximum)
in standby mode.

Stresses above those listed under Absolute Maximum Ratings
may cause permanent damage to the device. This is a stress
rating only; functional operation of the device at these or any
other conditions above those indicated in the operational
section of this specification is not implied. Exposure to absolute
maximum rating conditions for extended periods may affect
device reliability.

Description
A 0.1 μF capacitor should be added at CREG2 to reduce regulator noise and improve stability. A reduced
capacitor improves regulator power-on time but may cause higher spurs.
Test Output Pin. Leave as no connect.
5 V Power Supply for RF Circuitry. Decoupling capacitors to the analog ground plane should be placed as close
as possible to this pin.
Chip Enable Input. Driving CE low puts the part into power-down mode, drawing <1 μA.
Receiver Output. Demodulated data appears on this pin.
Ground for Digital Circuitry.
Channel Select Pin. This represents the LSB of the channel select pins.
Channel Select Pin.
Square Wave Clock Output at the Crystal Frequency. This can be used to drive the OSC2 pin of a partnering
ADF7902. The output has a 50:50 mark-space ratio and switches between 0 V and 2.2 V. If CLKOUT is disabled
by setting Pin 11 high, then CLKOUT must be tied low.
Channel Select Pin.
CLKOUT Enable Input. This should be driven low to enable the reference clock signal to appear on the CLKOUT pin.
Driving the pin high removes the clock signal on CLKOUT. It should be driven high when an external reference is used.
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.
Ground for Digital Circuitry.
The reference crystal should be connected between this pin and OSC1. The necessary crystal load capacitor
should be tied between this pin and ground. A square wave signal can be applied to this pin as an external
reference source.
The reference crystal should be connected between this pin and OSC2. The necessary crystal load capacitor
should be tied between this pin and ground. This pin should be connected to ground when OSC2 is driven by an
external reference.
5 V Power Supply for Digital Circuitry. Decoupling capacitors to the analog ground plane should be placed as
close as possible to this pin.
A 0.1 μF capacitor should be added at CREG1 to reduce regulator noise and improve stability. A reduced
capacitor improves regulator power-on time but may cause higher spurs.
LNA Input. Input matching is required between the antenna and the differential LNA input to ensure maximum
power transfer.
Complementary LNA Input.
External Bias Resistor for LNA. A value of 1.1 kΩ is recommended.
External Resistor to Set Charge Pump Current and Some Internal Bias Currents. A value of 3.6 kΩ is recommended.
Voltage Controlled Oscillator (VCO) Capacitor. A 22 nF capacitor should be placed between this pin and CREG2
to reduce VCO noise.
Ground for RF Circuitry.
The tuning voltage on this pin determines the output frequency of the VCO. The higher the tuning voltage,
the higher the output frequency. The output of the loop filter is connected here.
