GENERAL DESCRIPTION

The SX1235 is a highly integrated RF transceiver optimized for operation compliant with ETSI EN 300 220 receiver category 1. In conjunction with an external SAW filter the SX1235 is designed to pass the category 1 testing with substantial regulatory margin, simplifying end-user production test requirements. The SX1235 retains the highly integrated architecture of the SX123x family, minimizing external components while delivering the highest level of performance. For hybrid systems with non category 1 elements within an alarm system the SX1235 offers the advantage of programmable narrow-band and wide-band communication modes without the need tomodify external components. This makes the SX1235 suitable for integrated home automation, security and alarm systems that require legacy compatibility.
