  • Page 23: Function Descriptions

    CMT2300A is an ultra-low power, high performance transceiver chip. It supports OOK, (G) FSK and (G) MSK. It is suitable for applications in the range from 140 to 1020 MHz. The product belongs to CMOSTEK NextGenRF series. The series includes transmitters, receivers and transceivers and other complete product lines.
  • Page 24: Transmitter

    Leveraging CMOSTEK's low power design technology, the receiver consumes only a very low power when it is turned on. The periodic operation mode and wake up function can further reduce the average power consumption of the system in the application with strict requirements of power consumption.
