CC1020
CC1020 Single Chip Low Power RF Transceiver for Narrowband Systems
Applications
• Narrowband low power UHF wireless
data transmitters and receivers with
channel spacings as low as 12.5 and
25 kHz
• 402 / 424 / 426 / 429 / 433 / 447 / 449 /
469 / 868 and 915 MHz ISM/SRD
band systems
• AMR – Automatic Meter Reading
• Wireless alarm and security systems
• Home automation
• Low power telemetry
Product Description
CC1020 is a true single-chip UHF trans-
ceiver designed for very low power and
very low voltage wireless applications. The
circuit is mainly intended for the ISM
(Industrial, Scientific and Medical) and
SRD (Short Range Device) frequency
bands at 402, 424, 426, 429, 433, 447,
449, 469, 868 and 915 MHz, but can
easily be programmed for multi-channel
operation at other frequencies in the 402 -
470 and 804 - 940 MHz range.
making CC1020 a very flexible and easy to
use transceiver.
In a typical system CC1020 will be used
together with a microcontroller and a few
external passive components.
CC1020 is based on Chipcon’s SmartRF®-
02 technology in 0.35 µm CMOS.
The CC1020 is especially suited for narrow-
band systems with channel spacings of
12.5 or 25 kHz complying with ARIB STD
T-67 and EN 300 220.
The CC1020 main operating parameters
can be programmed via a serial bus, thus
