TRC104 is a single chip, multi-channel, low power RF transceiver. It is an ideal fit for low cost, high volume, two-way short range wireless applications operating in the worldwide unlicensed 2.4 GHz ISM band. The TRC104 is FCC & ETSI certifiable. All critical RF and base-band functions are integrated in the TRC104, minimizing external component count and simplifying designin. Only a microcontroller, crystal and several passive components are needed to create a complete, robust radio function. The TRC104 includes a set of low-power states to reduce overall current consumption and extend battery life. The small size and low power requirements of the TRC104 make it ideal for a wide variety of short range radio applications. The TRC104 complies with Directive 2002/95/EC (RoHS).
