Description

CC1020 is a true single-chip UHF transceiver designed for very low-power and very low-voltage wireless
applications. The circuit is mainly intended for the ISM (Industrial, Scientific, and Medical) and SRD (Short
Range Device) frequency bands at 402-, 424-, 426-, 429-, 433-, 447-, 449-, 469-, 868-, 915-, and 960-
MHz, but can easily be programmed for multichannel operation at other frequencies in the 402- to 470-
MHz and 804- to 960-MHz range.

The CC1020 device is especially suited for narrow-band systems with channel spacing of 12.5 or 25 kHz
complying with ARIB STD-T67 and EN 300 220.

The main operating parameters of the CC1020 device can be programmed with a serial bus, thus making
CC1020 a very flexible and easy-to-use transceiver.

In a typical system, the CC1020 device will be used together with a microcontroller and a few external
passive components.

TI recommends using the latest RF performance line device CC1120 as successor of CC1020:
