The MAX1473EUI+T is an RF receiver manufactured by Maxim Integrated (Maxim):
Performance Features
High dynamic range: with on-chip automatic gain control (AGC), it can handle RF signals of different intensities.
Low power consumption: Operating supply current is 5.2mA, with even lower power consumption in low-current power-down mode, making it suitable for automotive and consumer applications.
High sensitivity: Reception sensitivity of -114dBm enables reception of weak RF signals.
Fast startup: Startup time is only 250 microseconds.
Built-in features: including a low noise amplifier (LNA), a fully differential mirror suppression mixer, an on-chip phase-locked loop (PLL) with an integrated voltage-controlled oscillator (VCO), a received signal strength indicator (RSSI), and an analog baseband data recovery circuit.
Application Areas
Automotive: such as remote keyless entry (RKE) systems, garage door openers, etc.
Consumer electronics: such as remote controls, home automation systems, local telemetry systems, etc.
