RF Transceiver for Low Power Wireless Applications
Texas Instruments, Inc. introduces its Model CC2520 second-generation ZigBee/IEEE 802.15.4 radio-frequency (RF) transceiver for the 2.4 GHz unlicensed ISM (industrial, scientific, medical) frequency band. The transceiver targets a variety of ZigBee/IEEE 802.15.4 and proprietary wireless systems used in industrial monitoring and control, home and building automation, set-top boxes, remote controls and wireless sensor networks. In a typical system, this transceiver will be used with a microcontroller and a few additional passive components. It reduces the load on the host controller by providing extensive hardware support for packet handling, data buffering, burst transmissions, data encryption, data authentication, clear channel assessment, link quality indication and packet timing information.
