Abstract
We present an 802.15.4 compatible transceiver that operates without any off-chip frequency reference. With integrated Cortex-M0, the chip can also transmit BLE beacons with only three external connections (power, ground, and antenna). The RF transmitter operates with >10% system efficiency at -10 dBm output power from a regulated supply. The entire chip, including the microprocessor, can operate below 1 mW peak power when transmitting. The analog receiver power consumption is 1.03 mW from a 1.5V battery.
