TI unveils low-cost Sub-1 GHz RF Value Line product family
Two-chip bundle costs less than $1.00, enables long-range wireless connectivity for cost-sensitive, low-power applications such as toys, security systems and more
DALLAS, July 7, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Texas Instruments Incorporated (TI) (NYSE: TXN), the industry leader in highly integrated wireless connectivity solutions and low-power sub-1 GHz radio frequency (RF) technology, today introduced a new Sub-1 GHz RF Value Line family, offering developers low-cost connectivity solutions for sub-1 GHz RF applications such as remote controls, toys, home and building automation, and security systems. The Sub-1 GHz RF Value Line family launched with the CC115L transmitter,CC113L receiver and CC110L transceiver, all available immediately. In high volume, the line offers a complete, one-way RF link for less than USD $1. The new devices are based on TI's Sub-1 GHz CC1101 RF technology, and are pin-, register- and code-compatible, as well as backwards compatible with existing sub-1 GHz systems. For more information, see http://www.ti.com/rfvalueline-pr.
"TI's new Sub-1 GHz RF Value Line answers the market's increasing need for simple, low-cost connectivity for applications that require both long battery life and long range wireless connection," said Erling Simensen, product marketing manager, Low-Power RF, TI. "Designs based on the Sub-1GHz RF Value Line family not only ease connectivity integration efforts for engineers, but promise wireless connectivity for more of today's cost-sensitive consumer applications."
The CC11xLDK-868-915 and CC11xLEMK-433 development kits provide complete hardware performance testing and software development platforms for the new product family. The kits also offer new low-cost reference designs, with a compact PCB antenna for 433, 868, 915 MHz, featuring a reduced component count and complete design ready for FCC and ETSI certification. The small-size, compact PCB helix antenna represents only a quarter of the size of previous PCB antennas, and is useful for applications requiring high antenna efficiency in a compact area.
Sub-1 GHz RF Value Line family: Key features and benefits
-- One-way RF link for USD $1 in high volumes (transmitter + receiver
bundle)
-- Complete design with reduced component count, ready for FCC and ETSI
certification
-- Low-cost reference design with compact PCB antenna
-- Low-power, long battery life time:
-- Fast startup-time with 0.24ms from power down to RX or TX
-- 0.2 uA sleep current
-- Flexible and backwards compatible with existing sub-1 GHz systems:
-- Supports multiple modulation formats with 2-FSK, 4-FSK, GFSK and
OOK.
-- Programmable data rate from 0.6 to 600kbps
-- Supports multiple frequency bands: 300-348, 387-464 and 779- 928 MHz
-- Easy to switch between one-way and two-way solutions:
-- Pin, register and code compatibility
-- Long range communication: seamless integration with CC1190 range
extender: gives up to + 27dBm output power and -120 dBm sensitivity, and
up to +20 dBm output power without frequency hopping (FHSS) under FCC
-- Compatible with CC1190 range extender, MSP430(TM) Value Line
microcontroller, and TPS62730 Step Down Converter with Bypass Mode for
Ultra Low Power Wireless Applications
Tools, availability, packaging and price
The Sub-1GHz RF Value Line is available today from TI and through authorized TI distributors. The solution is packaged in a ROHS-compliant, 4 mm x 4 mm QFN-32. Pricing starts at $0.75 in 1,000-unit quantities.
The new CC11xLDK-868-915 development kit is available today for USD $299 on TI's e-store. An additional CC11xLEMK-433 development kit is available for USD $99.
