CC1000

The Texas Instruments CC1000 is a true single-chip UHF RF transceiver designed for very low power and low voltage wireless applications. It is primarily intended for ISM and SRD frequency bands at 315, 433, 868, and 915 MHz, but can be programmed for other frequencies between 300-1000 MHz.

Key features include a frequency range of 300-1000 MHz, high sensitivity (typical -110 dBm at 2.4 kBaud), and programmable output power from -20 to 10 dBm. It supports FSK data rates up to 76.8 kBaud and operates with a low supply voltage of 2.1 V to 3.6 V. The device integrates a bit synchronizer and an RSSI output.

This transceiver is suitable for various applications including wireless data transmitters and receivers, remote keyless entry systems, home automation, wireless alarm and security systems, automatic meter reading, and low power telemetry. It complies with EN 300 220 and FCC CFR47 part 15.

The CC1000 is available in a small TSSOP-28 or UltraCSP package, requiring very few external components. Its programmable frequency in 250 Hz steps allows for crystal temperature drift compensation without a TCXO and makes it suitable for frequency hopping protocols.
