Micrel introduces the MICRF405, which is the latest in Micrel’s family of low-power RadioWire® radio solutions and complements Micrel’s
MICRF505/506 line of low-power radio transceivers. The compact, low-cost device is designed to cover all geographic regions and is targeted at
high-end remote keyless entry, automatic meter reading, building
automation and industrial control. The MICRF405 features the lowest power consumption in its class. It also offers both ASK/OOK and FSK modulation and covers all four sub-GHz bands (315, 433, 868 and 915 MHz). The solution comes in a small 4ࡪ mm MLF® package and has fewer external components than ICs currently on the market. Additionally, the MICRF405 addresses the trend of migrating from simple ASK/OOK modulation solutions to FSK devices that feature higher output power and longer range. The chip supports this migration while retaining backwards compatibility with legacy ASK systems.
