RF remote control application boards

13 April 2011 Design Automation

Radiometrix has introduced the CTA88 remote control chip application board offering. These boards provide simple 8-channel digital input/output implementations of remote control functions, using either the company’s multichannel LMT/LMR (UHF and VHF band) or single-frequency BiM (FM band) series of wireless radio modules (which are ordered separately).

The offering consists of two CTA88-000-DIL chips, a CTA88 encoder board, a CTA88 decoder board, ¼ wavelength monopole or helical antennas, four jumpers for mode configuration, DIP switches for address and frequency channel configuration, eight opto-isolated digital inputs and eight relay outputs. The CTA88 chip at the heart of each board is an 8-bit address encoder/decoder for use with licence-exempt ISM/SRD band radio modules. It permits the setting up of a straightforward one-way wireless link for remote control applications, without the need for any customer software input.

The transmitter and receiver application boards are designed to allow easy evaluation of the CTA88 device’s performance and functionality in elementary applications. The boards have compact 115 x 86 x 20 mm dimensions, and their operating temperature range extends from -20°C to +70°C.
