Its highly integrated architecture High Selectivity: 16-tap FIR Channel Filter allows for a minimum of external components whilst Bullet-proof front end: IIP3 = -18 dBm, IIP2 = +35 dBm, maintaining maximum design flexibility. All major RF 80 dB Blocking Immunity, no Image Frequency response communication parameters are programmable and most of Low current: Rx = 16 mA, 100nA register retention them can be dynamically set. The SX1233 offers the unique advantage of programmable narrow-band and wide-band Programmable Pout: -18 to +17 dBm in 1dB steps communication modes without the need to modify external Constant RF performance over voltage range of chip components. The SX1233 is optimized for low power Fully integrated synthesizer with a resolution of 61 Hz consumption while offering high RF output power and channelized operation. TrueRF technology enables a low- FSK, GFSK, MSK, GMSK and OOK modulations cost external component count (elimination of the SAW Built-in Bit Synchronizer performing Clock Recovery filter) whilst still satisfying ETSI and FCC regulations. SX1233 is pin to pin compatible with SX1231 and SX1239.
