RC-TXFSK-868

RF Transmitter Overview

The RC-TXFSK-868 is an FSK radio transmitter module operating at 868.35 MHz, designed for short-range wireless communication applications. It features a crystal oscillator and operates on a supply voltage range of 2.2V to 3.6V. The module delivers an output power of 10dBm with a data rate capability of 50kbps. It is housed in a 6-DIP through-hole package and supports a power-down mode for energy efficiency. The operating temperature range spans from -25°C to 80°C.

RF Transmitter Feature Summary

• Integrated crystal oscillator for stable frequency generation
• Supports Frequency Shift Keying (FSK) modulation
• Includes power-down mode for reduced consumption
• Through-hole 6-DIP module packaging

RF Transmitter Applications

• Short Range Devices (SRD) wireless links
• Industrial-scientific-medical (ISM) band applications
• Low-power wireless sensor networks
• Remote control systems

RF Transmitter Procurement Notes

Verify the specific revision and manufacturing date code upon order confirmation. Ensure that the required supply voltage aligns with the 2.2V to 3.6V specification. Confirm that the 6-DIP through-hole mounting type matches your PCB layout requirements. Check for any regional regulatory compliance certifications relevant to the 868 MHz band before deployment.

RF Transmitter Selection Notes

Select this module when a dedicated FSK transmitter with integrated crystal stability is required. It is suitable for designs needing 10dBm output power without external amplification. Consider the 6-DIP form factor for prototyping or low-volume production where surface-mount space is limited. Evaluate the 50kbps data rate against application throughput needs.

RF Transmitter Part Context

This component belongs to the RadioControlli RF transmitter module family, specifically targeting European SRD bands. It complements other modules like the RC-TASK2-868 (ASK/OOK) and RC-TFSK3-434 (433.92MHz FSK). The series provides standardized solutions for industrial and scientific wireless communication needs.

RF Transmitter Replacement Considerations

The RC-TXFSK-868-LP offers a lower output power variant (1dBm) within the same product line. For different frequency bands, consider the RC-TFSK3-434 operating at 433.92 MHz. Verify pin compatibility and voltage levels when substituting with other RadioControlli modules.
