Applications

Narrowband low power UHF wireless

data transmitters and receivers with

channel spacings as low as 12.5 and

25 kHz

402 / 424 / 426 / 429 / 433 / 447 / 449 /

469 / 868 and 915 MHz ISM/SRD

band systems

Product Description

CC1020 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 402, 424, 426, 429, 433, 447,

449, 469, 868 and 915 MHz, but can

easily be programmed for multi-channel

operation at other frequencies in the 402 -

470 and 804 - 940 MHz range.

The CC1020 is especially suited for narrowband

systems with channel spacings of

12.5 or 25 kHz complying with ARIB STD

T-67 and EN 300 220.

The CC1020 main operating parameters

can be programmed via a serial bus, thus

making CC1020 a very flexible and easy to

use transceiver.

In a typical system CC1020 will be used

together with a microcontroller and a few

external passive components.

CC1020 is based on Chipcon’s SmartRF?-

02 technology in 0.35 μm CMOS.
