4. Description
The GC1106 is a fully integrated, single-chip RF Front-
end IC which incorporates all the RF functionality needed
for IEEE 802.15.4, ZigBee, Bluetooth, wireless sensor
network, and any other wireless systems in the 2.4 GHz
ISM band. The GC1106 integrates the LNA, Bandpass
filter, Transmitter and Receive switching circuitry in one
CMOS single-chip device.
Typical low RX gain applications include home and
industrial automation, smart power, and RF4CE among
others. Combining superior performance, high sensitivity,
low noise, small form factor, and low cost, GC1106 is the
perfect solution for applications requiring extended range,
low power consumption. GC1106 has simple and low-
voltage CMOS control logic, and requires minimal external
components for system implementation.
