Description
The TX4915 is a low power ASK transmitter IC intended for applications in the North
American and European VHF/UHF bands. The integrated voltage-controlled oscillator
(VCO), phase/frequency detector, prescaler, and reference oscillator require only the
addition of an external crystal to provide a complete phase-locked loop (PLL). In addi-
tion to the standard power-down mode, the chip also includes an automatic lock-detect
feature that disables the transmitter output when the PLL is out-of-lock.
Features
Output frequency range: 300 – 960 MHz
Supply voltage range: 2.2 – 3.6 V
Low current consumption with power down capability
On-chip VCO with integrated PLL (÷ 64/128) dual modulus prescaler
Out-of-lock inhibit circuit
SSOP-16 package (0.64 mm pitch)
Applications
Wireless mouse
Car alarm and home security systems
Remote control systems
