Complies with Directive 2002/95/EC (RoHS)
Product Overview
TXC102 is a highly integrated single chip, multi-channel, low power, high
data rate programmable RF transmitter ideal for the worldwide market and
operates in the 433, 868 and 915 MHz frequency bands. The TXC102 is
FCC & ETSI certifiable and improves upon the TXC101 with improved
phase noise and is capable of higher output power. All critical RF and
baseband functions are completely integrated in the chip, thus minimizing
external component count and simplifying design-ins. Its small size with
low power consumption makes it ideal for various short range radio
applications.
The TXC102 is a dual mode solution. In the Micro controller mode, a
generic 10MHz crystal and a low-cost microcontroller are the only
requirements to create a complete Transmitter link. In the EEPROM mode,
the TXC102 can function as a complete data transmitter with any SPI
compatible EEPROM and does not need a micro controller. This makes it
an ideal solution for a variety of simple short range radio applications.

2.0 Functional Description
The TXC102 is a low power, frequency agile, multi-channel OOK/FSK transmitter for use in the 433, 868,
and 916 MHz bands. All RF transmit functions are completely integrated requiring only a single 10MHz
crystal as a reference source. The TXC102 has two modes of operation: EEPROM mode and Processor
mode. EEPROM mode is fully compatible with any standard SPI interface EEPROM. Functions include:
•
PLL synthesizer
•
Power Amp
•
Crystal oscillator
•
Sleep Timer
•
OOK/FSK Modulation
•
4 Key/Switch Functions
The TXC102 is ideal for Frequency Hopping Spread Spectrum (FHSS) applications requiring frequency
agility to meet FCC and ETSI requirements. Use of a low-cost microcontroller or SPI compatible
EEPROM is all that is needed to create a complete transmitter. The TXC102 also incorporates different
sleep modes to reduce overall current consumption and extend transmitter battery life. It is ideal for
applications operating from typical lithium coin cells.
2.1 TXC102 Processor Mode Application Circuit
Figure 1. Typical Processor Mode 50 Ohm Load Application Circuit
The TXC102 may be used with a typical low-cost microcontroller. All internal functions are accessible
through the SPI interface. Figure 1 shows a typical 50 Ohm load connection for using a microcontroller to
control the TXC102 functions.
RF Transmitter Matching
The RF pins are high impedance and differential. The optimum differential load for the RF port at a given
frequency band is shown in Table 1.
