• Wireless Security
• Battery Powered Applications
The RF2908 is a monolithic integrated circuit specifically
designed for direct-sequence spread-spectrum systems
operating in the 902 MHz to 928MHz ISM band. The part
includes a direct conversion receiver, quadrature demod-
ulator, dual IF amplifiers with gain control and RSSI, on-
chip programmable baseband filters, dual data compara-
tors, and a serially programmable 86-channel PLL fre-
quency synthesizer. Two cell or regulated three cell (3.6V
maximum) battery applications are supported by the part.
The part is also designed to operate in compliance with
FCC Part 15.247. The device is provided in 48-lead plas-
tic LQFP packaging.
