| Preview – CC1190 (850-950 MHZ) RF front end for CC11XX product family |
The CC1190 is a cost effective and high performance RF front end for low power and low voltage wireless applications at 850-950 MHz. It is a range extender for all existing and future sub 1 GHz low power RF transceivers, transmitters, and system-on-chip products from TI.
The CC1190 will have up to +26dBm (400mW) output power, 6dB typical improved sensitivity on CC110X and a 2.5dBLNA noise figure which includes the T/R switch. The CC1190 includes an integrated T/R switch, matching network, inductors, PA and LNA.
The CC1101-CC1190 EM combo board will be available late Jan 2010. The CC1190 is targeted for wireless systems such as sensor networks, industrial, consumer and audio solutions.
