RF range extender suits low-power wireless apps

The CC1190 RF range extender is suited for low-power wireless applications at 850 to 950 MHz, such as wireless sensor networks, automatic meter reading, and wireless industrial controls, consumer, and audio systems. The part integrates a PA, an LNA, switches, and RF matching, which eliminates expensive discrete components, simplifies design layout.

The CC1190 works with the company’s CC1101 sub-1-GHz transceiver and the CC430 or CC1110 systems-on-chip. The CC1190+CC1101 solution can provide up to 149-dB link budget. The QFN-16-packaged chip also offers up to 27-dBm (0.5-W) output power and a 6-dB typ sensitivity improvement with CC11xx and CC430. ($2.10 ea/1,000; CC1190EMK evaluation module kit, $99 — available now.)
