Analog Devices Inc. (ADI, Wilmington, MA) announced three new radio frequency (RF) ICs that offer a complete, low-power, radio system solution on a single chip, which simplifies the design and reduces bill of material cost for customers. The new transceiver ICs and transmitter IC complement Analog Devices' existing family of industrial, scientific and medical (ISM) band transmitters for low-rate wireless connectivity applications.
The ADF7012 is a (VHF/UHF) transmitter IC with 50 MHz to 1 GHz frequency operation allowing multiple frequency plans to be implemented for transmit applications such as RF remote controls, remote keyless entry and wireless sensor applications. The ADF7020 and ADF7025 are ISM band transceiver ICs that operate at bands from 433 MHz to 928 MHz; implement complete transceiver solutions with few external components; and are suited to wireless video and audio for alarm, sensor, security systems, automatic meter reading, and remote transducer applications.
The ADF7012 is sampling now and will be available in production quantities in July 2004. It is offered in a 24-lead TSSOP and is priced at $1.50 per unit in quantities of 10,000. The ADF7020 is currently sampling and will be available in production quantities in the fourth quarter of 2004. It is offered in a 48-pin LFCSP and is priced at $3.99 per unit in quantities of 10,000. The ADF7025 is currently sampling and will be available in production quantities in the third quarter of 2004. It is also offered in a 48-pin LFCSP and is priced at $3.99 per unit in quantities of 10,000.
