Data Sheet

1.0 Introduction

The AMIS-52100 is a low-cost, ultra-low power single chip transceiver. It combines the proven amplitude shift key/on-off key

(ASK/OOK) modulation technology of the AMIS-52000 with data clock recovery. The AMIS-52100 is targeted at narrow band

applications in the 402 to 405MHz range.

Features such as dual independent receive channels, quick start crystal oscillator start up, Sniff Mode™ signal acquisition, and data

clock recovery make the AMIS-52100 ideally suited for a wide range of customer applications. Applications that the AMIS-52100 can be

used for are point-to-point wireless data links, low cost wireless monitors, very low power remote wireless sensors, and many other

uses.
