TRC103
Product Overview
TRC103 is a single chip, multi-channel, low power UHF transceiver. It is
designed for low cost, high volume, two-way short range wireless applica-
tions in the 863-870, 902-928 and 950-960 MHz frequency bands. The
TRC103 is FCC & ETSI certifiable. All critical RF and base-band functions
are integrated in the TRC103, minimizing external component count and sim-
plifying and speeding design-ins. A microcontroller, RF SAW filter, 12.8 MHz
crystal and a few passive components are all that is needed to create a com-
plete, robust radio function. The TRC103 incorporates a set of low-power
states to reduce overall current consumption and extend battery life. The
small size and low power consumption of the TRC103 make it ideal for a
wide variety of short range radio applications. The TRC103 complies with
Directive 2002/95/EC (RoHS). Pb
