CC1101
Low-Cost Low-Power Sub-1GHz RF Transceiver
(Enhanced CC1100 )
Applications
• Ultra low-power wireless applications
operating in the 315/433/868/915 MHz
ISM/SRD bands
• Wireless alarm and security systems
• Industrial monitoring and control
Product Description
The CC1101 is a low-cost sub- 1 GHz
transceiver designed for very low-power
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 300-348
MHz, 387-464 MHz and 779-928 MHz bands.
CC1101 is an improved and code compatible
version of the CC1100 RF transceiver. The
main improvements on the CC1101 include:
• Improved spurious response
• Better close-in phase noise improving
Adjacent Channel Power (ACP)
performance
• Higher input saturation level
• Improved output power ramping
• Extended frequency bands of
operation, i.e.
CC1100: 400-464 MHz and 800-928
MHz
CC1101: 387-464 MHz and 779-928
MHz
• Wireless sensor networks
• AMR – Automatic Meter Reading
• Home and building automation
The RF transceiver is integrated with a highly
configurable baseband modem. The modem
supports various modulation formats and has
a configurable data rate up to 500 kBaud.
CC1101 provides extensive hardware support
for packet handling, data buffering, burst
transmissions, clear channel assessment, link
quality indication, and wake-on-radio.
The main operating parameters and the 64-
byte transmit/receive FIFOs of CC1101 can be
controlled via an SPI interface. In a typical
system, the CC1101 will be used together with a
microcontroller and a few additional passive
components.
