CC400 Brochure - 33647 RF Transceiver

Great flexibility and communication security

The CC400 is a high performance, single-chipFSK RF transceiver mainly intended for the 315 MHz and 433 MHz ISM/SRD bands. Its high receiver sensitivity (-112 dBm) and superior output power (+14 dBm) enable a very long communication range.

Virtually all radio parameters of the CC400 are programmable. The carrier frequency, frequency deviation, intermediate frequency, output power and much more can be easily programmed through a three-bit serial interface. The flexibility of the CC400 makes it ideal for a wide variety of applications. The Frequency Hopping Spread Spectrum (FHSS) option, together with other features that improve communication security, makes the CC400 especially suited for critical applications such as wireless alarmsand security systems. A high performance RF solution Very few, if any, single-chip RF transceivers offer radio parameters comparable to the CC400. With uncompromised focus on receiver sensitivity, output power and flexibility, the CC400 is designed for use in applications with the most stringent requirements. The transmitter, receiver, oscillator and control interface are totally integrated in a single-chip solution. Only a crystal and a few external passive components are required to build a high- performance and cost-effective radio system. A communication range exceeding 2000 m can be reached with 10 dBm output power. The CC400 has a programmable carrier frequency and can be used at any frequency between 300 MHz and 500 MHz. The built-in, active power-down modes combined with a standby current as low as 0.2 µA significantly extend battery life.
® Studio software package which is included, provides the flexibility needed to automatically generate configuration data used by the microcontroller.
