CC1101
Integrated solution provides low cost
and high performance
The CC1101 is a highly integrated, multi-
channel RF transceiver designed for
low-power wireless applications in the
315/433/868/915-MHz ISM bands. The
CC1101 is an upgrade of the CC1100
transceiver with improvements for
spurious response, close-in phase noise,
input saturation level, output power
ramping and extended frequency range.
