Description
The U3741BM is a multi-chip PLL receiver device supplied in an SO20 package. It has
been specially developed for the demands of RF low-cost data transmission systems
with low data rates from 1 kBaud to 10 kBaud (1 kBaud to 3.2 kBaud for FSK) in
Manchester or Bi-phase code. The receiver is well suited to operate with Atmel's PLL
RF transmitter U2741B. Its main applications are in the areas of telemetering, security
technology and keyless-entry systems. It can be used in the frequency receiving
range of f
0
= 300 MHz to 450 MHz for ASK or FSK data transmission. All the state-
ments made below refer to 433.92-MHz and 315-MHz applications.
