Description
The CC1121 is a fully integrated single-chip radio transceiver
designed for high performance at very low power and low
voltage operation in cost effective wireless systems. All
filters are integrated, removing the need for costly external
SAW and IF filters. The device is mainly intended for the
SRD (Short Range Device) frequency bands at 274-320
MHz, 410-480 MHz and 820-960 MHz.
The CC1121 provides extensive hardware support for packet
handling, data buffering, burst transmissions, clear
channel assessment, link quality indication and Wake-On-
Radio. The CC1121 main operating parameters can be
controlled via an SPI interface. In a typical system, the
CC1121 will be used together with a microcontroller and only
few external passive components.
PRODUCTION DATA information is current as of publication date. Products conform to
specifications per the terms of Texas Instruments standard warranty. Production processing does
not necessarily include testing of all parameters.
