Semtech Adds to its Transceiver Platform with the SX1235 Which Provides ETSI Category 1 Compliance

Business Wire
Semtech Corporation (Nasdaq: SMTC), a leading supplier of analog
and mixed-signal semiconductors, today expanded its RFIC
transceiver platform with the new SX1235, a fully integrated,
high-performance, low current sub-GHz RF transceiver that provides
ETSI category 1 compliance with 6 dB regulatory margin.
ETSI category 1 compliance is the highest transceiver rating for
European regulations and is required for safety-critical wireless
applications such as social alarms and healthcare monitoring. The
SX1235 expands the target applications for Semtech’s wireless
platform and provides an affordable high-performance radio IC
solution to monitor, serve and increase the safety of a rising
aging population.
Previous category 1 solutions have only been realizable with
large and expensive discrete solutions which are difficult to
design and offer little flexibility, thus limiting the overall
deployment of products designed to provide safety to the elderly
and workers in hazardous conditions. An integrated solution with
the SX1235 reduces the development time and cost with flexibility
to tailor to multiple products leading to the expansion of products
to serve this important market segment.
With an industry-leading 9.3 mA receive mode current
consumption, the SX1235 is ideal for category 1 applications
seeking the lowest consumption possible for maximum battery
lifetime while giving the highest margin to the regulatory limits.
Current consumption or power efficiency in both transmit and
receive modes, determines the capacity of primary or secondary
back-up battery cells used in category 1 products which have a
significant influence on the cost of these systems.
“The SX1235’s high performance and low current consumption
confirm Semtech’s position as a world leader in the field of low
power transceivers with the most robust performance,” said Hardy
Schmidbauer, Semtech’s Director of Wireless ISM Products. “With
half the receiver consumption of competing devices, this technology
allows reliable category 1 compliance in battery powered
applications enabling miniaturized low power category 1 devices
that were previously unattainable.”
