1.  Introduction 

The purpose of this document is to provide the guidelines to design a low power consumption, low BOM and high 

sensitivity CMT2210A Receiver. 

 

2.  CMT2210A Schematics Guidelines 

The CMT2210A is an ultra low power, high performance, low-cost OOK stand-alone RF receiver for various 300 to 

480 MHz wireless applications. The chip is part of the CMOSTEK NextGenRF

TM

 family, which includes a complete 

line of transmitters, receivers and transceivers. To give the CMT2210A schematic design guidelines, an example of 

315/433.92 MHz application is given below. 

 

2.1 CMT2210A Evaluation Module Schematic 

Only a few external components are required for the CMT2210A. Further optimizations can be done by removing 

the connections of the optional pins.
