Product Overview
RXC101 is a highly integrated single chip, zero-IF, multi-channel, low
power, high data rate RF receiver designed to operate in the unlicensed
315/433/868 and 915 MHz frequency bands. All critical RF and baseband
functions are completely integrated in the chip, thus minimizing external
component count and simplifying design-ins. Its small size with low power
consumption makes it ideal for various short range radio applications.
The RXC101 supports two modes – Micro controller mode and Standalone
mode. In the Micro controller mode, the use of a generic 10MHz crystal
and a low-cost microcontroller is all that is needed to create a complete
Receiver link. Simple short range radio applications can be supported by
using the RXC101 in the Standalone mode, which allows complete receiver
operation without the use of a microcontroller.
