The MC13180 2.4 GHz Low Power Wireless Transceiver for Bluetooth™ is a part of the comprehensive Bluetooth platform from Motorola that provides a complete, low-power Bluetooth Radio System for Bluetooth Class 1 or 2 power systems. The design is based on Motorolas third-generation Bluetooth architecture that has set the industry standard for interoperability, complete functionality, and compliance with the Bluetooth specification. When combined with a specified Motorola baseband controller such as the MC71000 or MC9328MX1, a complete Bluetooth solution can be realized.

The MC13180 provides a unique combination of sensitivity, excellent C/I performance, and low power consumption. These performance parameters are extremely important to maintaining a robust link in high RF interference environments such as mobile phones, high density Bluetooth networks, 802.11b networks, microwave ovens, etc.
