RF xceiver consumes 3 mA in Rx mode

Doubling battery life in wireless sensor systems, the SX1211 UHF RF transceiver consumes less than 3 mA in receiver mode. The device is optimized for asynchronous sensor network designs in the unlicensed ISM frequency bands of 868 to 870 MHz and 902 to 928 MHz.

The device also features a 64-byte FIFO buffer and supports FSK data rates from 1.56 to 100 kbit/s and OOK data rates up to 32 kbit/s. Transmit power consumption at 10 dBm is only 25 mA, and receiver sensitivity for FSK modulation is –104 dBm at 25 kbits/s and for OOK is –110 dBm at 2 kbits/s. ($1.79 ea/3,000—available now.)
