operate in point-to-point one-way, two-way, or two-way multipointstar-connection. Based on Chipcon's CC1100 chipset, EmbedRF"typically uses less than 0.3uA when sleeping, so with periodictransmissions of 0.25s to 12.75s an extremely long battery life ispossible - average current consumption ranges from 255uA to as lowas 6 uA depending on transmission interval. EmbedRF" offers up tofour analog inputs with 10-bit resolution for 0 - 3V signals, or 2analog inputs and 2 digital output lines. EmbedRF" configuration isvery easy with the pull-down menu software provided. This uniquetransceiver module also does CRC RF packet error checking, and evenprovides a digital RSSI signal output.

Beacon (a division of Safe Retrieve) is using the EmbedRFtechnology within their mobile electronic systems. EmbedRFtechnology is used to notify the mobile system that it is in shortrange of a base unit, allowing the mobile system to save power.Scott Swanson, Beacon's CEO, says:'The EmbedRF wireless solutionwas clearly the fastest way to develop a new product with areliable low-power wireless functionality. I also like the factthat the EmbedRF transceiver provides distance information betweenthe transmitter and receiver - a critical feature for ourapplication.'

The EmbedRF" Development Kit includes: two EmbedRF" modules, a USBInterface Board, a USB cable, a CR2032 3V lithium coin cell batterywith battery attachment board, and an EmbedRF" Desktop Pro SoftwareCD. Designed and made in theUSA, the EmbedRF" Development Kit isavailable now with individual modules from their USA distributorSaelig Co. Inc. For manufacturers who need volume production andlowest costs, design licensing is also offered.
