RF Receivers Procurement Notes

Verify component authenticity through authorized Microchip distributors or certified partners. Confirm that the specific ordering suffix matches the required package variant. Ensure compliance with RoHS and REACH standards as documented in the official datasheet. Check for any recent Product Change Notifications regarding packaging or assembly updates before finalizing procurement orders.

RF Receivers Selection Notes

Select this component for applications requiring reliable reception in the 300-350 MHz range with low current draw. The integrated RSSI feature aids in link quality monitoring. Ensure the design accommodates the 16-QSOP footprint and thermal requirements for operation within the specified industrial temperature range.

RF Receivers Part Context

The MICRF213AYQS belongs to the MICRF213 family of radio receivers from Microchip Technology. It is specifically engineered for cost-effective, low-power wireless applications using simple modulation schemes. The part is distinct from higher-frequency variants like the MICRF229 or MICRF230 which operate in the 400-450 MHz bands.

RF Receivers Replacement Considerations

Public documentation indicates the MICRF213AYQS-TR is the tape-and-reel version of the same functional component. No other direct cross-model substitutes are confirmed in the provided source material.
