Overview

The CC1101RGPR is a highly integrated sub-1GHz transceiver designed for very low-power wireless applications in the ISM and SRD frequency bands. It supports multiple modulation formats including 2FSK, 4FSK, GFSK, MSK, and OOK, with a wide frequency range covering 300-348MHz, 387-464MHz, and 779-928MHz.

Why Choose This Part

The CC1101 offers exceptional sensitivity of -116dBm and a high maximum data rate of 600kbps, providing a versatile balance of range and throughput. Its low current consumption of 14.7mA in RX mode and 200uA in sleep mode, combined with a built-in Wake-on-radio feature, makes it a top choice for battery-operated devices.

Applications

Automatic Meter Reading (AMR)
Ideal for low-power utility metering systems requiring long-range communication and extended battery life.
Wireless Alarm Systems
Used in security sensors and smoke detectors where high sensitivity and low standby current are critical.
Industrial Monitoring
Enables wireless sensor networks for process automation and condition-based maintenance in harsh environments.
Home Automation
Suitable for lighting control, thermostat monitoring, and garage door openers using the 433MHz or 868/915MHz bands.

Getting Started

Developers typically use the SmartRF Studio software for easy radio configuration and testing of register settings. For hardware evaluation, TI offers the CC1101EMK evaluation modules which can be used alongside the SmartRF04 or SmartRF05 development boards.

Also Consider

SX1276 Semtech - Offers LoRa long-range modulation for significantly greater distance at the cost of lower data rates.
