The RFX2401C architecture integrates the PA, LNA, Transmit and Receive switching circuitry, the associated matching network, and the harmonic filter all in a CMOS single-chip device. Typical high power applications include home and industrial automation, smart power, and RF4CE among others. Combining superior performance, high sensitivity and efficiency, low noise, small form factor, and low cost, RFX2401C is the perfect solution for applications requiring extended range and bandwidth. RFX2401C has simple and low-voltage CMOS control logic, and requires minimal external components for system implementation.
