Product details
Overview
ATA5823-PLQW from Microchip Technology is a highly integrated UHF ASK/FSK transceiver for automotive passive entry go (PEG) and remote keyless entry (RKE), operating at 313–316 MHz, with full-duplex capability to prevent relay attacks, –105.5 dBm FSK sensitivity at 20 kbit/s, 0–10 dBm programmable output power, and SPI interface up to 500 kbit/s.
For engineers reviewing the ATA5823-PLQW datasheet, ATA5823-PLQW pinout, ATA5823-PLQW application, or ATA5823-PLQW equivalent, this device delivers verified full-duplex operation at 315 MHz, low-IF receiver architecture with 226 kHz IF and 30 dB image rejection, integrated fractional-N synthesizer with 800 Hz RF resolution, and support for Manchester-coded RKE/PEG protocols without external SAW filters.
Technical Context
The ATA5823-PLQW implements a fully integrated low-IF receiver with 226 kHz intermediate frequency, 220 kHz system bandwidth, and 30 dB image rejection-enabling robust reception in noisy automotive environments without external SAW filtering. Its fractional-N synthesizer provides multi-channel operation across 313–316 MHz with ±75 kHz center-frequency tolerance handling and <±2.0 dB in-band sensitivity variation over –40°C to +105°C.
Transmit functionality uses closed-loop FSK modulation with PLL isolation from PA, adjustable output power (0–10 dBm in 0.5 dB steps), and integrated RX/TX switch. Digital control logic includes FIFO-buffered self-polling, protocol handling, clock generation (~4.5 MHz CLK output), and wake-up inputs active in power-down mode (<10 nA).

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| ATA5824-PLQW | Supports 433–435 MHz and 867–870 MHz bands; identical pinout and register map; differs only in XTAL calibration and frequency plan | Used in 433/868 MHz RKE/PEG systems; not suitable for 315 MHz-only designs without retuning | Select ATA5824-PLQW only when targeting 433 or 868 MHz bands; cross-compatible firmware but requires band-specific matching networks. |
| SI4012-B1-FMR | Sub-GHz transceiver with lower integration: no integrated fractional-N synthesizer, no full-duplex mode, no self-polling logic, requires external crystal load caps | Suitable for cost-sensitive unidirectional RKE; lacks relay-attack mitigation and TPM compatibility features | Choose SI4012-B1-FMR for simple one-way remotes where full-duplex security and MCU offload are unnecessary. |
Compared with ATA5824-PLQW, ATA5823-PLQW offers optimized 315 MHz performance with tighter XTAL tolerance compensation, while SI4012-B1-FMR requires more external components and lacks built-in protocol acceleration-making ATA5823-PLQW superior for secure, low-power, automotive-grade bidirectional systems.

FAQ
What frequency band does the ATA5823-PLQW support?
The ATA5823-PLQW is specified for the 313–316 MHz band, making it suitable for 315 MHz automotive RKE and PEG systems. It achieves this through internal fractional-N synthesis and band-select pin (433_N868) configuration. Unlike the ATA5824-PLQW, it is not calibrated for 433 or 868 MHz operation. The device maintains ±75 kHz frequency tolerance handling across temperature and supply voltage, enabling interoperability with ATA5756/ATA5757 TPM transmitters.
Does the ATA5823-PLQW support full-duplex operation?
Yes, the ATA5823-PLQW supports full-duplex operation at 315 MHz to prevent relay attacks in passive entry go systems. This mode requires two physically isolated antennas (e.g., overlapping loop antennas) to achieve ≥28 dB isolation between RF_OUT and RF_IN. In full-duplex mode, sensitivity degrades from –106 dBm to –96 dBm when –35 dBm coupled RF power is present at RF_IN-verified per datasheet Figure 5-1 and section 5.
How is output power configured on the ATA5823-PLQW?
Output power on the ATA5823-PLQW is configured via two complementary methods: an external resistor (R_PWR) sets coarse power levels (0–10 dBm), while the internal SETPWR register enables fine adjustment in 0.5 dB steps. The PWR_H pin selects between high- and low-power ranges. Typical implementation uses a 22 kΩ resistor for ~5.5 dBm in key fobs; full 10 dBm requires VS2 rail (4.4–5.25 V) and proper RF matching per Figure 4-1.
What interfaces does the ATA5823-PLQW provide for microcontroller connection?
The ATA5823-PLQW communicates with the microcontroller exclusively via a 4-wire SPI interface (CS, SCK, SDI_TMDI, SDO_TMDO) operating up to 500 kbit/s. It also provides dedicated signals: CLK (~4.5 MHz clock output), IRQ (active-low interrupt), and PWR_ON/N_PWR_ON (system wake-up inputs active in power-down). No I²C, UART, or parallel interface is supported-the SPI interface handles all register access and FIFO data transfer.
Is the ATA5823-PLQW qualified for automotive applications?
Yes, the ATA5823-PLQW is designed and tested for automotive use, operating across –40°C to +105°C and meeting stringent ESD requirements (±2.5 kV HBM). It supports AEC-Q100-relevant stress conditions and is deployed in production PEG and RKE systems. Its full-duplex anti-relay capability, low power consumption (<10 nA power-down), and integrated features like clock generation and self-polling reduce MCU overhead-key requirements for automotive body electronics.
