CC1100ERTKR

RF Transceiver ICS Overview

The CC1100ERTKR is a low-power Sub-1 GHz RF transceiver manufactured by Texas Instruments. It operates within the 470 MHz to 510 MHz and 950 MHz to 960 MHz frequency ranges, supporting data rates up to 500 kb/s. The device features a sensitivity of -112 dBm and an output power of 12 dBm. It accepts supply voltages between 1.8 V and 3.6 V, with a receive current of 15 mA. Modulation formats include 2-FSK, ASK, FSK, GFSK, MSK, and OOK. Communication is managed via an SPI interface, and the component is housed in a 20-pin QFN package.

RF Transceiver ICS Feature Summary

• Supports multiple modulation schemes including GFSK, FSK, and OOK for flexible communication protocols.
• Integrates high receiver sensitivity and configurable output power for reliable wireless transmission.
• Operates on a single low-voltage power supply suitable for battery-powered applications.

RF Transceiver ICS Applications

• Wireless sensor networks
• Smart home devices
• Industrial remote control systems

RF Transceiver ICS Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'ERTKR' corresponds to the required tape-and-reel packaging configuration as indicated in distributor catalogs. Confirm that the 20-QFN package variant matches the PCB footprint requirements. Ensure compatibility with the intended Sub-1 GHz regulatory region frequencies before finalizing procurement specifications.

RF Transceiver ICS Selection Notes

Select this component when a low-cost, low-power solution for Sub-1 GHz ISM bands is required. It is suitable for applications needing moderate data rates and standard range. Consider the SPI interface compatibility with the host microcontroller. Evaluate the thermal performance of the QFN package against the expected operating temperature range of -40°C to +85°C.

RF Transceiver ICS Part Context

This part belongs to the CC1100E series of RF transceivers from Texas Instruments. It is designed for general-purpose wireless communication in the unlicensed ISM bands below 1 GHz. The device integrates a radio front-end, synthesizer, and baseband processing into a single chip, simplifying design complexity for embedded wireless systems.

RF Transceiver ICS Replacement Considerations

CC1100ERGPR is a documented alternative variant within the same product family offering similar electrical characteristics but potentially different packaging or reel configurations.
