General Description
Benefits and Features
● Low Implementation Cost
The MAX41463/MAX41464 is a UHF sub-GHz ISM/SRD
transmitter designed to transmit Frequency-Shift Keying
(FSK), or Gaussian (G)FSK (or 2GFSK) data in the 286MHz
to 960MHz frequency range. It integrates a fractional phase-
locked-loop (PLL) so that a single, low-cost crystal can be
used to generate commonly used world-wide sub-GHz
frequencies. The fast response time of the PLL allows for
frequency-hoppingspreadspectrumprotocolsforincreased
range and security. The chip also features preset modes
with pin-selectable frequencies so that only one wire is
required for an external microcontroller interface. The only
frequency-dependent components required are for the
external antenna-matching network. A buffered clock-out
signal at 800kHz is also provided. Optionally, the device
can be put into programmable mode and programmed
• Bits-to-RF Single Wire Operation
• Low Bill-of-Materials (BOM)
• Uses Single, Low-Cost, 16MHz Crystal
• Small 3mm x 3mm TSSOP10 Package
● Increased Range, Data Rates, and Security
• Up to +16dBm PA Output Power
• Fast Frequency Switching for FHSS/DSSS
• Fast-On Oscillator: <250μs Startup Time
• Up to 200kbps NRZ Data Rate
● Extend Battery Life with Low Supply Current
• < 12mA Typical Current Consumption at 315MHz
• Selectable Standby and Shutdown Modes
• Auto Shutdown at < 20nA (typ) Current
● Ease-of-Use

• Pin-Selectable Frequencies
using an I C interface. The crystal-based architecture
• Pin-Compatible ASK and FSK Versions
• +1.8V to +3.6V Single-Supply Operation
• Fully Programmable with 400kHz/1MHz I C
of the MAX41463/MAX41464 eliminates many of the
common problems with SAW-based transmitters by
providing greater modulation depth, faster frequency
settling, higher tolerance of the transmit frequency, and
reduced temperature dependence.

Interface
Ordering Information appears at end of data sheet.
The MAX41463/MAX41464 provides output power up
to +13dBm into a 50Ω load while drawing < 12mA at
315MHz. The output load can be adjusted to increase
power up to +16dBm, and a PA boost mode can be
enabled at frequencies above 850MHz to compensate for
losses. The PA output power can also be controlled using
2
programmable register settings in I C mode.
Simplified Block Diagram
The MAX41463/MAX41464 also features single-supply
operation from +1.8V to +3.6V. The device has an auto-
shutdown feature to extend battery life and a fast oscillator
wake-up with data activity detection.

microcontroller or code-hopping generator.
Detailed Description
The MAX41463/MAX41464 is part of the MAX4146x
family of UHF sub-GHz ISM/SRD transmitters designed
to transmit (G)FSK data in the 286MHz to 960MHz
frequency range. The MAX4146x family is available in the
following versions.
The MAX41463/MAX41464 provides +13dBm output
power into a 50Ω load at 315MHz using an integrated
high efficiency power amplifier (PA). The output load
can be adjusted to increase power up to +16dBm and
a PA boost mode can be enabled at frequencies above
850MHz to compensate for losses. The PA output power
can also be controlled using programmable register
settings. The MAX41463/MAX41464 feature fast
oscillator wake-up upon data activity detection and has an
auto-shutdown feature to extend battery life.
The MAX41460 uses a SPI programming interface,
The MAX41461–MAX41464 feature an I C interface, as

well as preset modes (pin-selectable output frequencies
using only one crystal frequency). In preset modes, no
programming is required and only a single-input data
interface to an external micro-controller is needed. The
MAX41463/MAX41464 parts are identical when put in
2
The MAX41463/MAX41464 operates at a supply voltage
of +1.8V to +3.6V and is available in a 10-pin TSSOP
package that is specified over the -40°C to +105°C
extended temperature range.
I C programming mode. All MAX4146x versions are fully
programmable for all output frequencies, as described in
the Electrical Characteristics table. The only frequency-
dependent components required are for the external
antenna match.
The crystal-based architecture of the MAX41463/
MAX41464 provides greater modulation depth, fast-
er frequency settling, higher tolerance of the transmit
frequency, and reduced temperature dependence. It
integrates a fractional phase-locked-loop (PLL) so a
single low-cost crystal can be used to generate commonly
Preset Modes
The MAX41463/MAX41464 contain preset settings
depending on the state of pins SEL1 and SEL0. All pre-
sets must use a 16MHz crystal. The frequency of the
CLKOUT pin is always 800kHz. By default, the frequency
deviation is ±39kHz and Gaussian frequency shaping is
enabled.

Preset Mode Transmission
Power Amplifier
The wake-up of the device is as follows:
The MAX41463/MAX41464 PA is a high-efficiency, open-
drain switching-mode amplifier. In a switching-mode
amplifier, the gate of the final-stage FET is driven with a
25% duty-cycle square wave at the transmit frequency.
The PA also has an internal set of capacitors that can
be switched in and out to present different capacitance
values at the PA output using the PACAP[4:0] register
values. This allows extra flexibility for tuning the output
matching network. When the matching network is tuned
correctly, the output FET resonates the attached tank
circuit (pullup inductor from PA to VDD) with a minimum
amount of power dissipated in the FET. With a proper out-
put-matching network, the PA can drive a wide range of
antenna impedances, which include a PCB trace antenna
or a 50Ω antenna. The output-matching π-network sup-
presses the carrier harmonics and transforms the antenna
impedance to an optimal impedance at the PA pin. The
Typical Application Circuit can deliver an output power of
+13dBm with a +3.0V supply. Table 3 has approximate PA
load impedances for desired output powers.

3) CLKOUT is generated 80 μs after internal 3.2MHz
clock is available.
Auto-Shutdown in Preset Mode
The MAX41463/MAX41464 in preset mode has an auto-
matic shutdown feature that places the device in low-
power shutdown mode if the DATA input stays at logic 0
12
for a wait time equal to 2 cycles of the internal 3.2MHz
clock. This equates to a wait time of approximately 1.3ms.
When the device is in automatic shutdown, a pulse on
DATA initiates the warm up of the crystal and PLL. See
the Preset Mode Transmission section for requirements
on the wake-up pulse.
The PAPWR bits in the PA1 register control the output
power of the PA. This setting adjust the number of paral-
lel drivers used, which determine the final output power
(see Figure 3).
When the device is operating, each occurrence of logic 1
on the data line resets an internal counter to zero and it
begins to count again. If the counter reaches the end-of-
count, the device enters shutdown mode.

Boost Mode
Programmable Output Capacitance
The PA can deliver up to 16dBm of output power.
High output power can be achieved in two ways:
The MAX41463/MAX41464 has an internal set of capacitors
that can be switched in and out to present different capacitor
values at the PA output. The capacitors are connected
from the PA output to ground. This allows changing the
tuning network along with the synthesizer divide ratio
each time the transmitted frequency changes, making it
possible to maintain maximum transmitter power while
moving rapidly from one frequency to another.
● Lower the load impedance for the PA by adjusting the
output matching network,
● For frequencies over 850MHz, change the duty cycle
of the square wave driving the FET from 25% to 50%
by setting PA_BOOST = 1 in register SHDN (0x05)
and adjusting the output matching network.
The variable capacitor is programmed through register
PA2 (0x07) bits 4:0 (PACAP). The tuning capacitor has a
nominal resolution of 0.18pF, from 0pF to 5.4pF. In preset
mode, the variable capacitor is set to 0pF.
Note that, when using PA_BOOST = 1, the maximum supply
voltage should not exceed 3V. For frequencies under
850MHz, the PA_BOOST bit should remain at 0, the output
match can be adjusted to provide higher output power.

details on crystal pulling and load capacitance affects,
refer to Maxim Tutorial 5422 - Crystal Calculations for ISM
RF Products.
The XTAL oscillator in the MAX41463/MAX41464 is
designed to present a capacitance of approximately 12pF
from the XTAL1 and XTAL2 pins to ground. In most cases,
this corresponds to a 6pF load capacitance applied to
the external crystal when typical PCB parasitics are
included. It is very important to use a crystal with a load
capacitance equal to the capacitance of the MAX41463/
MAX41464 crystal oscillator plus PCB parasitics. If a
crystal designed to oscillate with a different load
capacitance is used, the crystal is pulled away from its
stated operating frequency introducing an error in the
reference frequency. The crystal’s natural frequency is
typically below its specified frequency. However, when
loaded with the specified load capacitance, the crystal
is pulled and oscillates at its specified frequency. This
pulling is already accounted for in the specification of the
load capacitance. Accounting for typical board parasit-
ics, a 16MHz, 12pF crystal is recommended. Note that
adding discrete capacitance on the crystal also increases
the startup time and adding too much capacitance could
prevent oscillation altogether.
Turn-On Time of Crystal Oscillator
The turn-on time of crystal oscillator (XO), t , is defined
XO
as elapsed time from the instant of turning on XO circuit
to the first rising edge of XO divider clock output. The
external microcontroller turns on the XO by,
1) Sending a wakeup pulse for MAX41461–MAX41464
in the preset mode, or
2
2) Writing to device I C address for MAX41461–

MAX41464 in the I C mode, or
3) Pulling CSB pin low on the MAX41460.
Crystal Divider
The recommended crystal frequencies are 13.0
MHz, 16.0 MHz, and 19.2 MHz. An internal clock of
3.2MHz±0.1MHz frequency is required. To maintain the
internal 3.2MHz time base, XOCLKDIV[1:0] (register
CFG1, 0x00, bit 4) must be programmed, based on the
crystal frequency, as shown in the table below.

Two-Wire I C Serial Interface
The internal VCO can be tuned continuously from 286MHz

2
MAX41464 features a 2-wire I C-compatible serial
interface consisting of a serial-data line (SDA) and a
serial-clock line (SCL). SDAand SCLfacilitate bidirectional
communication between the MAX41463/MAX41464 and
the master at clock frequencies up to 1MHz. The master
device initiates a data transfer on the bus and generates
the SCL signal to permit data transfer. The MAX41463/
Frequency Programming
The desired frequency can be programmed by setting bits
FREQ in registers PLL3, PLL4, and PLL5 (0x0B, 0x0C,
0x0D). To calculate the FREQ bits, use:

One bit transfers during each SCL clock cycle. A minimum
of nine clock cycles is required to transfer a byte into or
out of the MAX41463/MAX41464 (8 bits and an ACK/
NACK). The data on SDA must remain stable during the
high period of the SCL clock pulse. Changes in SDA while
SCL is high and stable are considered control signals (see
the START and STOP Conditions section). Both SDA and
SCL remain high when the bus is not busy.
Follow Table 4 to program the LODIV bits in register PLL1
(0x08) when choosing a LO frequency. It is recommend-
ed to leave bits CPVAL and CPLIN at factory defaults. If
integer-N synthesis is desired, set bit FRACMODE = 0 in
register PLL1.
Fractional-N Spurious
The 16-bit fractional-N, delta-sigma modulator can
produce spurious that can show up on the power amplifier
output spectrum. If slight frequency offsets can be tolerated,
set the LSB of FREQ (register PLL5, bit 0) to logic-high.

must pull SDA low before the rising edge of the acknowledge-
related clock pulse (ninth pulse) and keep it low during the
high period of the clock pulse.
START and STOP Conditions
The master initiates a transmission with a START
condition (S), which is a high-to-low transition on SDA
while SCL is high. The master terminates a transmission
with a STOP condition (P), which is a low-to-high
transition on SDA while SCL is high.
To generate a not-acknowledge condition, the receiver
allows SDA to be pulled high before the rising edge of
the acknowledge-related clock pulse, and leaves SDA
high during the high period of the clock pulse. Monitoring
the acknowledge bits allows for detection of unsuccessful
data transfers. An unsuccessful data transfer happens if a
receiving device is busy or if a system fault has occurred.
In the event of an unsuccessful data transfer, the bus
master must reattempt communication at a later time.
Acknowledge and Not-Acknowledge Conditions
Data transfers are framed with an acknowledge bit (ACK)
or a not-acknowledge bit (NACK). Both the master and
the MAX41463/MAX41464 (slave) generate acknowledge
bits. To generate an acknowledge, the receiving device

Figure 6 illustrates I C Burst Write transaction protocol.
Slave Address
2
The MAX41463/MAX41464 has a 7-bit I C slave address
that must be sent to the device following a START
condition to initiate communication. The slave address is
internally programmed to 0xD2 for WRITE and 0xD3 for
READ. The MAX41463/MAX41464 continuously awaits
a START condition followed by its slave address. When
the device recognizes its slave address, it acknowledges
by pulling the SDA line low for one clock period, then it is
ready to accept or send data, depending on the R/W bit.
Read Cycle
When addressed with a read command, the MAX41463/
MAX41464 allows the master to read back a single
register or multiple successive registers.
A read cycle begins with the bus master issuing a START
condition, followed by the 7 slave address bits and a
write bit (R/W = 0). The device issues an ACK if the slave
address byte is successfully received. The bus master
must then send the address of the first register it wishes
to read. The slave acknowledges the address. A START
condition is then issued by the master, followed by the 7
slave address bits and a read bit (R/W = 1). The device
issues an ACK if the slave address byte is successfully
received. The device starts sending data MSB first with
each SCL clock cycle. At the 9th clock cycle, the master
can issue an ACK and continue to read successive
registers, or the master can terminate the transmission by
issuing a NACK. The read cycle does not terminate until
the master issues a STOP condition.
Write Cycle
When addressed with a write command, the MAX41463/
MAX41464 allows the master to write to either a single
register or to multiple successive registers.
A write cycle begins with the bus master issuing a START
condition, followed by the 7 slave address bits and a
write bit (R/W = 0). The MAX41463/MAX41464 issues an
ACK if the slave address byte is successfully received.
The bus master must then send the address of the first
register it wishes to write to (see Register Map). The slave
acknowledges the address and the master can then write
one byte to the register at the specified address. Data is
written beginning with the most significant bit (MSB). The
MAX41463/MAX41464 again issues an ACK if the data is
successfully written to the register.
Buffered Clock Output
MAX41463/MAX41464 provides a buffered clock output
(CLKOUT) on pin 6 of the chip in the preset mode,
2
and the frequency of CLKOUT is 800kHz. In I C mode,
MAX41463/MAX41464 uses pin 6 as the SCL line of the
The master can continue to write data to the succes-
sive internal registers with the MAX41463/MAX41464

can terminate transmission by issuing a STOP condition.

is a rising edge on I2C_TXEN, which is a special signal
with two register-bit aliases I2C_TXEN1 (register CFG6,
0x0A, bit 2) and I2C_TXEN2 (register CFG7, 0x10, bit
2). A rising edge on I2C_TXEN can be generated by
clearing I2C_TXEN1 and setting I2C_TXEN2 in a single

In the preset mode, the MAX41463/MAX41464 device has

I C transaction.
In transmitter-enabled state, XO and PLL are turned on;
PA is turned on with a ramp-up process.
I2C_TXEN is automatically cleared in two cases: 1) wake-
up from shutdown, 2) return to programming state from
the transmitter-enabled state. In those two cases, a rising
edge on I2C_TXEN can be generated by setting I2C_
TXEN2 in CFG7, without explicit clearing of I2C_TXEN1.
After power is applied, the device enters the shutdown
state. See Initial Programming. A rising edge on DATA
(pin 7) initiates the warm-up of the XO and PLL. After PLL
is locked, a falling edge on DATA enables the transmitter.
The device returns to shutdown state when there is no
DATA activity, i.e. DATA stays at 0 for 4096 cycles of the
internal 3.2MHz clock.
Data to be transmitted are written into a special register,
byte I2C_TX_DATA[7:0] (register I2C3, 0x13, bits 7:0).
2
Automatic incrementing of addresses in I C burst-write
are disabled for this special register. Each data byte
written into I2C_TX_DATA will be transferred into a FIFO
buffer. The device has an internal 1-bit signal FIFO_STOP.
At the end of data transmission, FIFO_STOP is set, and
the device references the PWDN_MODE[1:0] (register
CFG4, 0x03, bits 1:0) to enter shutdown, standby, or
programming state.
2
In the I C programming mode, the device has four major
states: shutdown, programming, transmitter-enabled, and
standby.

The device needs to transmit an 8-bit dummy packet
for initial programming. The initial programming must
clear MODMODE (register CFG1, address 0x00, bit
0), clear I2C_TXEN1 (register CFG6, address 0x0A,
bit 2), configure FREQ[23:0] (register PLL3, PLL4 and
PLL5) to desired frequency, set I2C_TXEN2 (register
CFG7, address 0x10, bit 2), and configure I2C_TX_
DATA[7:0] (register I2C3, address 0x13) to 0x00. In
addition, BCLK_POSTDIV[2:0], BCLK_PREDIV[7:0], and
PKTLEN_MODE should be configured to default values
in the register map.
Case 1: Using Two I C Transactions for Startup from
Shutdown
The startup of MAX41463/MAX41464 in programming
mode, from the shutdown state, uses two I C transactions:
2
one for configuration update and the other for data
transmission. FSK modulation can only be enabled
through configuration update because the initial programming
must clear MODMODE (register CFG1, address 0x00, bit
0).
2
In the first I C transaction, the master device burst-writes
consecutive registers that are a portion or all of the 16
registers from address 0x00 to 0x0F. Those consecutive
registers may or may not include CFG6. If CFG6 is
included, the I2C_TXEN1 bit should be cleared; otherwise,
I2C_TXEN1 is automatically cleared in the wake-up from
shutdown.
Initial programming cannot be completed by a single
burst-write transaction because the I2C_TX_DATA
register at address 0x13 is a special register that
2
disables automatic address increment. However, two I C
transactions may be merged to a combined transaction,
where each write begins with a START mark and the
slave address.
2
In the second I C transaction, the master device can
set I2C_TXEN2 (register CFG7, address 0x10, bit 2),
configure PKTLEN_MODE (register I2C1, address 0x11,
bit 7) and PKTLEN[14:0], and write the data to be
transmitted into I2C_TX_DATA (register I2C3, address
0x13). Automatic increment of register address during
burst write is disabled at address 0x13.
After initial programming, the device will enter the shut-
down, standby, or programming state according to the
setting of PWDN_MODE[1:0] (register CFG4, address
0x03, bit[1:0] ). Configuration register values are retained
unless changed by programming.
2
Startup
The event-trigger for wake-up is the recognition of I C
address of the device. The event trigger for data trans-
mission is the rising edge I2C_TXEN that has two aliases
of I2C_TXEN1 and I2C_TXEN2. The time lag between

TXEN1 and set I2C_TXEN2.
In the burst-write operation, the master device should write
consecutive registers starting from CFG7 (address 0x10)
or any register preceding CFG7. Data to be transmitted
are written into I2C_TX_DATA (register I2C3, address
0x13). Automatic incrementing of register addressed

The MAX41463/MAX41464 device can transmit a
data packet each time in the transmitter-enabled state.
After data transmission, the device refers to the setting
of PWDN_MODE[1:0] to enter the shutdown, standby, or

start-up, PWDN_MODE[1:0] can be configured to 2 so
that the device returns to the programming state.

FIFO underflow or overflow. An internal 1-bit flag FIFO_
STOP is set at the end of data transmission. The rising
edge of FIFO_STOP serves as the event trigger to disable
the transmitter. See the State Diagrams section.
FIFO Buffer
2
The I C interface is a bus connected to multiple master or
slave devices. The microcontroller is a master device and
the MAX41463/MAX41464 is a slave device. The micro-
controller can initiate communication with the slave device
When the number of bauds to be transmitted is known
before data transmission and less than 32768, it is
recommended to set PKTLEN_MODE and configure
PKTLEN[14:0] as the number of bauds to be transmitted.
Otherwise, clear PKTLEN_MODE and utilize FIFO under-
flow to stop data transmission. Once the microcontroller
stops writing I2C_TX_DATA, FIFO underflow will occur
after the data stored in FIFO buffer are transmitted.
2
by I C addressing (e.g., sending a START mark followed
by 7-bit device address). The slave device is required to
acknowledge every byte transferred through I C.
2
For data transmission, the microcontroller can burst-
write consecutive registers, including CFG7 and I2C3.
The purpose of writing CFG7 is to set I2C_TXEN2 and,
therefore, generate a trigger to enable the transmitter.

is disabled for the I2C3 register, which is also named
I2C_TX_DATA. Once the transmitter is enabled, all bytes
written to I2C_TX_DATA are moved into a FIFO buffer.
The buffer size is 4 bytes. The FIFO buffer is enabled only
in the transmitter-enabled state.
Frequency Hopping
In programming mode, the frequency synthesizer is
initialized to a frequency in a selected ISM band by Initial
Programming. After that, for the purpose of frequency
dithering or frequency hopping, the FREQ[23:0] registers
can be updated to a new frequency in the same selected
band for each data packet to be transmitted.
A programmable baud-rate clock is used for retrieving
and transmitting bits from the FIFO buffer. The baud rate
is programmable by BCLK_PREDIV[7:0] (register CFG3,
0x02, bits 7:0) and BCLK_POSTDIV[2:0] (register CFG2,
0x01, bits 2:0) as the following expression:
Because programming is not allowed in the transmitted-
enabled state (see the State Diagrams section),
frequency configuration cannot be changed when PA is
enabled. See the Startup section for details on how to
program the device for data transmission.

nally, 3.2 MHz). Valid values of BCLK_PREDIV are from
3 to 255. Valid values of BCLK_POSTDIV are from 1 to 5.
To avoid underflow of the FIFO buffer, the baud-rate
must be lower than 8/9 of the SCL clock rate. The
device can support three modes of SCL clock frequencies:
100kHz, 400kHz, and 1MHz. In the 100kHz mode, it is
recommended to limit baud-rate to no more than 50kbps.

Each time before data transmission, the I2C1 and I2C2

equal to PKTLEN[14:0]. Data transmission also stops at

Applications Information
Power-On Programming
Preset Mode

low at power-on. If the DATA pin cannot be guaranteed
low at power-on, then a high value pulldown resistor is

The mark frequency is defined by the space frequency

After turning on power supply in I C mode, a logic-high-low-
high transition on SDA must occur to minimize leakage cur-
rent in shutdown state. It is highly recommended that the I C
resistors are connected to the MAX41463/MAX41464 VDD.
If frequency shaping is enabled by setting FSKSHAPE = 1
(register CFG1, bit 2), the frequency deviation is defined
by DETLAF_SHAPE[3:0] (register PLL7, bits 3:0).

register ADDL2 at address 0x1A is written to its default

registers from address 0x00 to 0x13. The device is

When FSK shaping is enabled by setting FSKSHAPE = 1,
the frequency is transitioned in 16 steps between the
two frequencies using a Gaussian filter shape. The time
between each step is controlled by TSTEP[5:0] (register
CFG5, bits 5:0). The time step can be adjusted based on
the data rate.
For example, the crystal frequency is 16MHz, the RF
frequency is 315MHz, the 20 consecutive registers from
address 0x00 to 0x13 can be configured as:

Digital FSK Modulation
The FSK moduIation in MAX41463/MAX41464 is defined
by the space frequency and the mark frequency. The
space frequency is the lower frequency that represents a
logic 0. The mark frequency is the higher frequency that
represents a logic 1. The device defaults to Gaussian

In the programming mode, the crystal divider ratio is
programmable. The crystal divider ratio should be config-
ured so that the divided clock frequency is 3.2±0.1MHz.
In addition, the PLL synthesizer requires a reference
frequency (same as crystal frequency) between 12.8MHz
and 19.2MHz. Therefore, when crystal divider ratio is 4, 5, or
6,allowedrangeofcrystalfrequencyis12.8MHz~13.2MHz,
15.5MHz~16.5MHz, or 18.6MHz~19.2MHz.
Tuning Capacitor Settings
The internal variable shunt capacitor, which can be used
to match the PA to the antenna with changing transmitter
frequency, is controlled by setting the 5-bit cap variable in
the registers. This allows for 32 levels of shunt capacitance
control. Since the control of these 5 bits is independent of
the other settings, any capacitance value can be chosen
at any frequency, making it possible to maintain maximum
transmitter efficiency while moving rapidly from one
frequency to another. The internal tuning capacitor adds 0
to 5.425pF to the PA output in 0.175pF steps.
In another example, desired RF frequencies are
319.5MHz,
345.0MHz,
and
433.92MHz,
and
recommended crystal selection is 13±0.002MHz so
that integer boundary spurs are completely suppressed
for three desired RF frequencies. Nevertheless, the
16±0.002MHz and 19.2±0.002MHz crystals are also
acceptable.
Crystal Frequency Selection
In order to avoid integer boundary spurs in fractional-N
PLL synthesizers, the crystal should be selected so that
the RF carrier frequency is more than 0.4MHz apart from
the nearest integer multiple of crystal frequency.
In the preset mode, the crystal divider ratio is preset at 5.
When the RF carrier frequency is very close to an integer
multiple of 16MHz, the crystal selection can change to
16.384MHz or 16.128MHz, and the RF carrier frequency
should be preset through OTP memory in production.
For example, the 16±0.002MHz crystals can be selected
for the 433.92MHz RF carrier, which is more than 0.4MHz
apart from the nearest integer multiple of crystal frequency
at 432±0.054MHz. However, the 16±0.002MHz crystals
are not suitable for a RF carrier at 912MHz or 928MHz.
