DALLAS, July 7, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Texas Instruments
Incorporated (TI) (NYSE: TXN), the industry leader in highly
integrated wireless connectivity solutions and low-power sub-1 GHz
radio frequency (RF) technology, today introduced a new Sub-1 GHz
RF Value Line family, offering developers low-cost connectivity
solutions for sub-1 GHz RF applications such as remote controls,
toys, home and building automation, and security systems. The Sub-1
GHz RF Value Line family launched with the CC115L transmitter,
CC113L receiver and CC110L transceiver, all available immediately.
In high volume, the line offers a complete, one-way RF link for
less than USD $1. The new devices are
based on TI's Sub-1 GHz CC1101 RF technology, and are pin-,
register- and code-compatible, as well as backwards compatible with
existing sub-1 GHz systems. For more information, see
www.ti.com/rfvalueline-pr.
"TI's new Sub-1 GHz RF Value Line answers the market's
increasing need for simple, low-cost connectivity for applications
that require both long battery life and long range wireless
connection," said Erling Simensen,
product marketing manager, Low-Power RF, TI. "Designs based on the
Sub-1GHz RF Value Line family not only ease connectivity
integration efforts for engineers, but promise wireless
connectivity for more of today's cost-sensitive consumer
applications."
The CC11xLDK-868-915 and CC11xLEMK-433 development kits provide
complete hardware performance testing and software development
platforms for the new product family. The kits also offer new
low-cost reference designs, with a compact PCB antenna for 433,
868, 915 MHz, featuring a reduced component count and complete
design ready for FCC and ETSI certification. The small-size,
compact PCB helix antenna represents only a quarter of the size of
previous PCB antennas, and is useful for applications requiring
high antenna efficiency in a compact area.
