TI unveils sub-1-GHz RF at sub-$1
TI claims that, in high volume, the sub-1GHz Value Line offers a complete, one-way RF link for less than USD $1. The new devices are based on TI’s Sub-1GHz CC1101 RF technology, and are pin-, register- and code-compatible, as well as backwards compatible with existing sub-1GHz systems.
The CC11xLDK-868-915 and CC11xLEMK-433 development kits provide complete hardware performance testing and software development platforms for the new product family. The kits also offer new low-cost reference designs, with a compact PCB antenna for 433, 868, 915MHz, featuring a reduced component count and complete design ready for FCC and ETSI certification.
The small-size, compact PCB helix antenna represents only a quarter of the size of previous PCB antennas, and is useful for applications requiring high antenna efficiency in a compact area.
