SE2436L: High Power 2.4 GHz 802.15.4 Front End Module
Applications
Product Description
The SE2436L is a high performance, fully integrated
RF Front End Module designed for ZigBee/Smart
Energy and 802.15.4 applications requiring high
transmit power.
The SE2436L is designed for ease of use and
maximum flexibility, with fully matched 50
Ω
output,
and 100
Ω
differential input , integrated inter-stage
matching and harmonic filter, and digital controls
compatible with 1.6 – 3.6 V CMOS levels.
The RF blocks operate over a wide supply voltage
range from 2.0 to 4.8V allowing the SE2436L to be
used in battery powered applications over a wide
spectrum of the battery discharge curve.
Smart Meters
In-home appliances
