Product details
Overview
ATA5823C-PLQW-1 from Microchip Technology (formerly Atmel) is a highly integrated UHF ASK/FSK half-duplex transceiver for automotive keyless entry and tire pressure monitoring systems. It operates in the 313–316 MHz band, delivers up to 10 dBm output power, achieves –111.5 dBm ASK sensitivity at 10 kbit/s, and supports Manchester-coded data rates from 1 to 10 kbit/s (ASK) or 1 to 20 kbit/s (FSK).
For engineers reviewing the ATA5823C-PLQW-1 datasheet, ATA5823C-PLQW-1 pinout, ATA5823C-PLQW-1 application, or ATA5823C-PLQW-1 equivalent, this device offers verified low-IF receiver architecture, fractional-N synthesizer with 800 Hz RF resolution, SPI interface up to 500 kbit/s, RSSI output, and integrated XTAL capacitors - all in a 7 mm × 7 mm QFN48 package rated for –40°C to +105°C.
Technical Context
The ATA5823C-PLQW-1 implements a fully integrated low-IF receiver with 226 kHz IF, 30 dB image rejection, and 220 kHz system bandwidth, enabling compatibility with ATA5756 TPM transmitters. Its fractional-N synthesizer provides multi-channel operation with arbitrary channel spacing and compensates crystal tolerances without external components.
Transmit functionality uses closed-loop FSK modulation and PA switching for ASK, with programmable output power (0–10 dBm in 0.5 dB steps), integrated RX/TX switch, and single-ended RF I/O. Digital control logic includes FIFO-RAM buffering, self-polling, and protocol handling - reducing MCU overhead in passive entry go (PEG) and RKE systems.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Operating Frequency | 313–316 MHz band - matches ATA5756-based TPM transmitters and avoids external VCO/PLL components. |
| Modulation Support | ASK and FSK - enables flexible use across RKE, PEG, and TPM protocols without hardware changes. |
| Max Output Power | 10 dBm - sufficient for car-side base station transmission with 4.4–5.25 V supply (VS2). |
| ASK Sensitivity | –111.5 dBm at 10 kbit/s - enables reliable reception from low-power key fobs using loop antennas. |
| Supply Voltage Range | 2.15–3.6 V (VS1) or 4.4–5.25 V (VS2) - supports dual-voltage system designs including lithium coin cell and automotive 5 V rails. |
| Interface | SPI up to 500 kbit/s - allows direct connection to low-cost 4-/8-bit MCUs without high-speed peripherals. |
| Temperature Range | –40°C to +105°C - qualified for under-hood and key fob environments per AEC-Q100 requirements. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar UHF ASK/FSK transceiver applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ATA5782C-PLQW-1 | Lower integration: no integrated XTAL capacitors, no FIFO buffer, no self-polling logic; requires external loop filter and SAW for same sensitivity. | Targeted at cost-sensitive RKE transmitters only; lacks full bidirectional protocol support for PEG/TPM. | Select when system uses external MCU with full protocol stack and minimal RF integration is acceptable. |
| SI4362-B1B-FMR | Higher data rate (up to 1 Mbps), wider frequency range (142–1050 MHz), but no native Manchester support; requires external crystal load caps and higher MCU overhead. | Better suited for proprietary ISM-band telemetry or smart metering; not optimized for automotive RKE/TPM timing constraints. | Select when multi-band flexibility or higher throughput outweighs automotive qualification and low-MCU-footprint advantages of ATA5823C-PLQW-1. |
Compared with ATA5782C-PLQW-1 and SI4362-B1B-FMR, the ATA5823C-PLQW-1 delivers superior system-level integration for automotive RKE/PEG/TPM - including on-chip FIFO, self-polling, crystal compensation, and SAW-free operation - reducing total component count and MCU resource demand.

FAQ
What is the operating frequency band supported by the ATA5823C-PLQW-1?
The ATA5823C-PLQW-1 is specified for the 313–316 MHz band, making it compatible with ATA5756-based tire pressure monitoring transmitters and regional RKE systems. It does not support the 433–435 MHz band - that function is assigned to the ATA5824 variant. The device achieves this without external VCO or PLL components due to its integrated fractional-N synthesizer.
Does the ATA5823C-PLQW-1 require external crystal load capacitors?
No, the ATA5823C-PLQW-1 integrates load capacitors for the XTAL1/XTAL2 interface, eliminating the need for external crystal tuning capacitors. This reduces bill-of-materials count and improves production yield consistency. The internal capacitors are optimized for standard 13.25311 MHz fundamental-mode crystals used in automotive RKE and TPM applications.
How does the ATA5823C-PLQW-1 handle frequency offset between transmitter and receiver?
The ATA5823C-PLQW-1 incorporates an internal automatic frequency correction circuit in the FSK demodulator that tracks input frequency deviations up to ±75 kHz. This enables reliable communication despite crystal aging, temperature drift, and manufacturing tolerances - critical for interoperability with ATA5756 TPM transmitters and key fob RKE systems without requiring external calibration.
What is the maximum data rate supported by the ATA5823C-PLQW-1 in ASK mode?
The ATA5823C-PLQW-1 supports ASK data rates from 1 kbit/s to 10 kbit/s using Manchester coding. At 10 kbit/s, it achieves –111.5 dBm sensitivity (BER = 10⁻³) at 315 MHz. Higher rates are not supported in ASK mode; FSK mode extends to 20 kbit/s, but ASK is limited to 10 kbit/s per the validated electrical characteristics in the official datasheet.
Can the ATA5823C-PLQW-1 operate from a lithium coin cell battery?
Yes, the ATA5823C-PLQW-1 supports a 2.15–3.6 V supply range (VS1 rail), making it compatible with CR2032 lithium coin cells. In power-down mode, it draws less than 10 nA, and its low RX current (as low as 8.2 mA at 2.15 V/–40°C) maximizes battery life in key fob applications. The device also includes dedicated wake-up inputs (PWR_ON/N_PWR_ON) for button-initiated activation.
