The XE1205 RF transceiver fully meets the requirements for 25 kHz channel spacing and adjacent-channel power of less than -37 dBm and is suitable for applications operating in the 433-868-915 MHz band such as social alarms, security, automatic metering, services and controls, as well as remote keyless entry.

The XE1205 is the third new XEMICS product based on TrueRF technology. Among the improvements offered by TrueRF are full FCC/ETSI compliance without a SAW filter, additional register settings offering enhanced operation modes, and unconditional stability even at 15 dBm power output.

New features in the XE1205 include a 16-byte FIFO data buffer and an enhanced AFC algorithm, both of which contribute to reduced host-controller overhead and thereby lower system cost.

The XE1205 is being launched at Wireless Connectivity World, June 8th to 10th at the RAI, in Amsterdam, the Netherlands.

The XE1205 is packaged in an 8x8 VQFN package and is available from below $3 in large quantities.
