Alert), a provider of microcontroller and analog semiconductors, has introduced Integration Associates' EZLink Development Kit.
This kit supplements the wireless products offered by Microchip, by providing wireless customers an option for easy sub-GHz RF modem development. The EZLink radio module features an onboard PIC18F2520 8-bit Flash microcontroller and Integration's IA4421 EZRadio transceiver.
The EZLink Development Kit provides a comprehensive, ready-to-use RF module solution through the industry-leading EZRadio technology. The IA4421 is a 434, 868 and 915 MHz multi-channel, Frequency-Shift Keying (FSK) transceiver that is designed to provide the industry's lowest radio BOM by using only one external component - a crystal.
The IA4421 is perfect for low-power, high-performance wireless applications such as toys, consumer electronics, automotive and building security. Additionally, the kit's two EZLink radio modules are populated with Microchip's PIC18F2520 8-bit microcontrollers, providing customers with a high-performance and low-cost whole product wireless solution.
"Microchip is expanding the reach of customers' wireless designs by offering Integration's EZLink Development Kit on microchipDIRECT," said Steve Caldwell, director of Microchip's RF Products Division. "The EZLink Development Kit provides our PIC microcontroller customers with an easy-to-use sub-GHz ISM RF modem development environment."
"Integration is proud to partner with Microchip to meet the market need for generating fast RF prototypes," said Ferenc Mernyei, Integration's Application Support director. "The EZLink development kit, which consists of the widely used PIC microcontroller and the award-winning IA4421 transceiver, will meet this need for customers throughout the world."
Microchip customers can now create proprietary and standard-based short-range wireless networking solutions using the unlicensed Industrial, Scientific and Medical (ISM) frequency
bands from 415 MHz to 2.4GHz.
