  • Reliable wake-up pattern detection
  • Wake-up sensitivity 80 µVRMS (typ.)
  • Low power listening mode (2.3 µA)
  • One, two, or three-channel operation (works with 3-D antenna)

The AS3933 is a three-channel ASK receiver that generates a wake-up signal upon detecting data signal with a carrier frequency in the range from 15 to 150 kHz. The programmable features of AS3933 allow optimizing its settings to achieve a longer distance while retaining a reliable signal detection. The adjustable sensitivity level enables reliable detection even in noisy environments, while the automatic antenna tuning feature ensures perfect matching to the desired carrier frequency. The AS3933 can wake up active tags in RTLS, PKE, and other similar tracking and access control systems.
