Sub-1 GHz Wireless Connectivity for IoT

ON Semiconductor provides a wide range of sub-1 GHz RF transceivers, receivers, and transmitters covering multiple standards including Sigfox, KNX, Wireless M-Bus, and EnOcean. ON Semiconductor transceivers are known for high efficiency and excellent sensitivity in the range of -110 dBm to -126 dBm for 1.2 kbps (narrow-band or general-purpose). AX5043 is the leading sub-1 GHz transceiver for data ranges from 0.1 kbps to 125 kbps. The device offers the unique combination of ultra-low power consumption for transmit and receive operation with high sensitivity and selectivity.

• AX5043-1 DVK2b Module Performance

The AX8052F1xx family combines the superb performance of ON Semiconductor’s wireless transceiver technology with an ultra-low-power microcontroller featuring 64 kB Flash, 9.25 kB RAM, and sleep current consumption of 500 nA to 1500 nA. The AX8052F100 core is specifically designed to enable one-chip radio solutions for all levels of complexity. Its low power consumption combined with the rich feature set make it the ultimate choice for many RF systems. The AX8052F143 offers the same leading edge performance as the AX5043 combined with the flexibility and features of a leading edge 8-bit microcontroller on a single SoC without any sacrifice of performance.
