subject: To Overcome issues commonly found with traditional RF transmitters [print this page] Ultra-low-power (10 nA) and wake-on-touch operation make the Si4010 ideal for coin-cell battery applications. Designing a remote control using the Si4010 overcomes many issues commonly found with traditional RF transmitters. The Si4010 removes the difficult and tedious RF matching problem with its antenna tuning feature, which reduces expensive RF design time and improves time-to-market. The hardware task comes down to choosing the best PCB antenna for the given remote control geometry and laying out the pads and connections for the Si4010, the PCB trace antenna, a bypass capacitor, buttons and the battery.
