General Description
The BC2102 is a low cost sub-GHz OOK/FSK
transmitter for wireless applications in the 315MHz,
433MHz, 470MHz, 868MHz and 915MHz frequency
bands. It is a highly integrated and low cost solution
for one-way transmitters. It only needs a crystal, a
few external capacitors and a few PA output matching
components on PCB to form a complete RF solution.
♦
17mA @ 10dBm POUT (FSK)
♦
11mA @ 10dBm POUT (OOK, 50% duty cycle)
• On-chip VCO and Fractional-N synthesizer with
integrated loop filter
The BC2102 consists of a highly integrated
fractional-N Synthesizer and a Class-E Power
Amplifier (PA). As it adopts a fractional-N
synthesizer, the users can potentially design their
transmitters to operate at a wider frequency range. A
class-E PA can deliver up to +13dBm output power.
With proper setting through an external MCU, the
BC2102 can support OOK and FSK modulation with
symbol rate of up to 25ksps and data rate of up to
50kbps, respectively.
• Supports low cost 16MHz crystal
• Supports hardware control mode – MCU is not
required for radio control
• Integrated 64×1-bit FUSE Data Memory
• Package type: 8-pin SOP-EP
Abbreviation Notes
TX: RF Transmitter
SX: Synthesizer
To minimize power consumption, the BC2102
provides a data tracking function. After no input data
is detected during a preset time which can be adjusted
through MCU, the BC2102 will return to the deep
sleep mode.
XO: External Crystal
PA: Power Amplifier
OOK: On-Off Keying
FSK: Frequency Shift Keying
VCO: Voltage Control Oscillator
PLL: Phase Lock Loop
MMD: Multi-Mode Divider
XTAL: External Crystal
These features can be easily programmed through
I2C interface or internal FUSE. With these combined
features the BC2102 can provide a power-saving and
cost effective solution for a wide range of wireless
applications.
