RXC101 is a highly integrated single chip, zero-IF, multi-channel, low power, high data rate RF receiver designed to operate in the unlicensed 315/433/868/915 MHz frequency bands. All critical RF and baseband functions are completely integrated in the chip, thus minimizing external component count and simplifying design-ins. Its small size with low power consumption makes it ideal for various short range radio applications. The RXC101 supports two modes – Microcontroller mode and Standalone mode. In the Micro controller mode, the use of a generic 10MHz crystal and a low-cost microcontroller is all that is needed to create a complete Receiver link. Simple short range radio applications can be supported by using the RXC101 in the Standalone mode, which allows complete receiver operation without the use of a microcontroller.
