Single-chip RF transceiver for narrowband and multichannel applications released

29 January 2003 Telecoms, Datacoms, Wireless, IoT

Less than two months after Chipcon released its award winning CC1010, said to be the industry's only true RF system-on-a-chip, the company has unveiled a single-chip CMOS RF transceiver that meets the stringent requirement of narrow band applications.

The new CC1020 is designed for FSK and ASK systems operating in the 424 to 470 MHz and 848 to 940 MHz frequency bands. Typical frequency bands used are 426, 429, 433, 868 and 902-928 MHz.

Key features of the CC1020 include: receiver sensitivity up to -119 dBm; Programmable data rate up to 153,6 kbps; selectivity (25 kHz systems): 30 dB adjacent channel rejection and 40 dB alternate channel rejection; adjacent channel power (25 kHz systems): -45 dBc; 2,3-3,6 V operation; narrowband digital RSSI function; Intelligent wake-up circuitry for power management; full on-chip VCO (voltage controlled oscillator).

Typical applications for the CC1020 are one-way and two-way RF systems that require narrowband and operations and/or high data rates. Automatic meter reading, alarm and security, remote keyless entry, tyre pressure monitoring and home automation systems are just a few of the many potential uses. The CC1020 will be offered in a 32-pin QFN package. A development tool is also available.
