Product Description

CC1000 is a true single-chip UHF transceiver

designed for very low power and

very low voltage wireless applications. The

circuit is mainly intended for the ISM

(Industrial, Scientific and Medical) and

SRD (Short Range Device) frequency

bands at 315, 433, 868 and 915 MHz, but

can easily be programmed for operation at

other frequencies in the 300-1000 MHz

range.

The main operating parameters of CC1000

can be programmed via a serial bus, thus

making CC1000 a very flexible and easy to

use transceiver. In a typical system

CC1000 will be used together with a

microcontroller and a few external passive

components.

CC1000 is based on Chipcon’s SmartRF®

technology in 0.35 μm CMOS.
