Product Description

CC1050 is a true single-chip UHF transmitter

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 CC1050

can be programmed via an easy-tointerface

serial bus, thus making CC1050 a

very flexible and easy to use transmitter.

In a typical system CC1050 will be used

together with a microcontroller and a few

external passive components.

CC1050 is based on Chipcon’s SmartRF®

technology in 0.35 μm CMOS.
