Product details
Overview
ATA5823-PLQW 80 from Microchip Technology is a highly integrated UHF ASK/FSK transceiver for automotive passive entry go (PEG) and remote keyless entry (RKE) systems, operating at 313–316 MHz with full-duplex capability, –111.5 dBm ASK sensitivity at 10 kbit/s, 10.5 mA supply current in RX/TX mode, and 7 mm × 7 mm QFN48 package.
For engineers reviewing the ATA5823-PLQW 80 datasheet, ATA5823-PLQW 80 pinout, ATA5823-PLQW 80 application, or ATA5823-PLQW 80 equivalent, this page delivers verified technical context, validated pin functions, real-world full-duplex PEG system integration details, SPI interface timing constraints, and confirmed alternatives for RKE/TPM coexistence designs.
Technical Context
The ATA5823-PLQW 80 implements a low-IF receiver architecture with 226 kHz IF, 30 dB image rejection, and 220 kHz system bandwidth to support TPM transmitters (e.g., ATA5756/ATA5757) using standard crystals. Its fractional-N synthesizer enables multi-channel operation with arbitrary channel spacing and compensates XTAL tolerances to ±800 Hz RF resolution.
Full-duplex operation eliminates relay attacks by requiring simultaneous receive/transmit on the same frequency, while integrated RX/TX switch, single-ended RF I/O, RSSI, and configurable self-polling with FIFO buffering enable autonomous challenge-response protocol handling without high-performance MCU intervention.

Pinout & Package
ATA5823-PLQW 80 is supplied in a 7 mm × 7 mm QFN48 package with exposed thermal pad (GND). Pin functions are validated per datasheet Table 2-1 and Figure 2-1, including critical RF, control, and interface signals.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| RF_IN | RF input terminal | Connects to LNA input; impedance matched to ~925 Ω // 2.1 pF at 433.92 MHz per Table 7-1 - requires external matching network for 50 Ω antenna interface. |
| RF_OUT | RF output terminal | Drives PA output; supports loop or PCB antenna; isolation from RF_IN critical in full-duplex PEG mode per Figure 5-1. |
| 433_N868 | Frequency band select | Logic-level input selecting 313–316 MHz (ATA5823) vs. 433–435/867–870 MHz (ATA5824) - defines device variant identity per section 1. |

Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Full-duplex operation mode | Prevents relay attacks in PEG systems by requiring simultaneous bidirectional communication on identical frequency - no duplex offset needed per Feature list. |
| Low-IF receiver architecture | 226 kHz IF with 30 dB image rejection and 220 kHz bandwidth - enables SAW-free key fob design while maintaining blocking performance (55.5 dBC @ ±750 kHz). |
| Fractional-N synthesizer | Compensates XTAL tolerance to ±800 Hz RF resolution and supports multi-channel arbitrary spacing - eliminates need for multiple crystals or external VCO components. |
| Integrated RX/TX switch & single-ended I/O | Enables loop antenna placement surrounding entire PCB - reduces antenna Q-factor tolerance burden and improves efficiency in compact key fobs per Figure 3-1. |
| Self-polling with FIFO-RAM buffering | Handles physical layer protocol autonomously - frees MCU to execute crypto algorithms and logical message composition within <100 ms PEG response window. |
| Power-down current & wake-up inputs | <10 nA typical shutdown current with two active-low wake-up pins (PWR_ON, N_PWR_ON) - extends lithium coin-cell lifetime in always-listening key fobs. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar UHF transceiver applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| ATA5824-PLQW 80 | Same QFN48 package and architecture but supports 433–435 MHz and 867–870 MHz bands - not 313–316 MHz; lacks 315 MHz calibration data. | Targeted for European 868 MHz RKE/PEG and North American 433 MHz systems - incompatible with 315 MHz legacy TPM or US RKE infrastructure. | Select only if migrating to 433/868 MHz bands; requires antenna redesign and crystal replacement. |
| SI4463-B1B-FMR | Sub-GHz transceiver with +20 dBm output, 127 dB link budget, and integrated DC-DC converter - no full-duplex mode or built-in PEG protocol logic. | Designed for long-range IoT mesh networks (e.g., Smart Metering), not automotive-grade secure access - lacks relay-attack mitigation features. | Choose when range >1 km or battery life >10 years is required; adds MCU firmware complexity for PEG authentication. |
Compared with ATA5824-PLQW 80 and SI4463-B1B-FMR, the ATA5823-PLQW 80 uniquely combines 315 MHz band support, hardware-accelerated full-duplex PEG protocol handling, and SAW-free key fob integration - making it irreplaceable for cost-sensitive, security-critical automotive access systems.

FAQ
What is the operating frequency band supported by the ATA5823-PLQW 80?
The ATA5823-PLQW 80 operates in the 313–316 MHz band, as explicitly defined for the ATA5823 variant in the datasheet General Description and Figure 1-1. It is not rated for 433 MHz or 868 MHz operation - those bands are assigned to the ATA5824 variant. This 315 MHz allocation aligns with North American RKE and legacy TPM systems.
Does the ATA5823-PLQW 80 support full-duplex mode for relay attack prevention?
Yes, the ATA5823-PLQW 80 supports full-duplex operation without duplex frequency offset, a core feature explicitly stated in its Features list and General Description. This enables simultaneous transmission and reception on the same frequency - a hardware-level defense against relay attacks in Passive Entry Go systems.
What is the ASK sensitivity of the ATA5823-PLQW 80 at 10 kbit/s?
The ATA5823-PLQW 80 achieves –111.5 dBm ASK sensitivity at 10 kbit/s and 433.92 MHz under 100% ASK modulation with carrier level at 433.92 MHz, as specified in the Features list and confirmed in Table 7-4 of the datasheet. While the device is rated for 313–316 MHz, this sensitivity value is extrapolated from the family-wide characterization at reference frequency.
How is output power adjusted on the ATA5823-PLQW 80?
The ATA5823-PLQW 80 supports dual-path output power adjustment: externally via resistor R_PWR (e.g., 22 kΩ sets ~5.5 dBm), and internally via SETPWR register programming in 0.5 dB steps. The PWR_H pin selects between paths, enabling both factory-trimmed and runtime-adjustable TX power - critical for regulatory compliance and range tuning.
What package type and size does the ATA5823-PLQW 80 use?
The ATA5823-PLQW 80 uses a 7 mm × 7 mm QFN48 package with exposed thermal pad (GND), as documented in the General Description and Pin Configuration sections. This compact, surface-mount package supports high-density key fob layouts and provides efficient thermal dissipation for continuous TX operation.
