• Industrial telemetry and monitoring devices

RF Transmitter Procurement Notes

Verify the specific frequency variant required for your target region, as the part number suffix indicates operational bands such as 418/434MHz or 868MHz. Confirm that the 14-TSSOP surface-mount package aligns with your PCB footprint specifications. Ensure the supply voltage range of 2V to 3.7V matches your system's power architecture before integration.

RF Transmitter Selection Notes

Select this component when a compact, integrated RF solution with moderate output power is needed. It is suitable for designs prioritizing minimal external RF components due to the integrated antenna connector. Consider the 100kbps data rate limit and ensure it meets the throughput requirements of the intended application protocol.

RF Transmitter Part Context

This device belongs to the PIC12F529 series of RF transmitters manufactured by Microchip Technology. It is part of a family offering various frequency options tailored for global compliance. The T48AT suffix denotes the specific tape-and-reel packaging format and temperature grade, distinguishing it from tube-packaged variants.

RF Transmitter Replacement Considerations

Public confirmed substitute part numbers are not available in the provided documentation. Designers should consult official Microchip resources for direct pin-compatible alternatives or cross-reference with other PIC12F529 variants if different frequency bands are required.
