Complies with Directive 2002/95/EC (RoHS)



Product Overview

TRC101 is a highly integrated single chip, zero-IF, multi-channel, low power RF transceiver. It is an ideal fit for low cost, high volume, two way short-range wireless applications for use in the  unlicensed 300-1000 MHz frequency bands. All critical RF and baseband functions are completely

integrated in the chip, thus minimizing external component count and simplifying and speeding design-ins. Use of a low cost, generic 10MHz crystal and a low-cost microcontroller is all that is needed to create a complete link. The TRC101 also incorporates different sleep modes to reduce overall current consumption and extend battery life. Its small size with low power consumption makes itideal for various short range radio applications.
