Product Summary

The CC2500RTKR is a low cost true single chip 2.4 GHz transceiver designed for very low power wireless applications. The CC2500RTKR is intended for the ISM (Industrial, Scientific and Medical) and SRD (Short Range Device) frequency band at 2400-2483.5 MHz. The applications of the CC2500RTKR include 2400-2483.5 MHz ISM/SRD band systems, Consumer Electronics, Wireless game controllers, Wireless audio, Wireless keyboard and mouse.
