TRC104 2.4 GHz Multi-channel GFSK RFIC Transceiver

Ideal for low-cost, high-volume, two-way short-range wireless applications operating in the worldwide unlicensed 2.4 GHz ISM band.

GFSK with Frequency Hopping Spread Spectrum capability

High Sensitivity: -95 dBm @ 250 kb/s and -90 dBm @ 1 Mb/s

High Data Rate: Up to 1 Mb/s

Low current consumption:
-Receive current: 18 mA -Transmit current: 13 mA @ 0 dBm
