A 1 V 433/868 MHz 25 kb/s-FSK 2 kb/s-OOK RF transceiver SoC in standard digital 0.18 /spl mu/m CMOS

A 1 V wireless SoC embedding an RF transceiver, a sensor interface, a 6.4 MHz RISC micro-controller with an 8k instruction SRAM and a power management unit is reported. The radio supports 25 kb/s FSK and 2 kb/s OOK modulations in the 433/868 MHz bands. In the 433 MHz band, the receiver draws 2.1 mA while providing a sensitivity of -108 dBm and the transmitter draws 27.6 mA for an output power of 10.5 dBm.
