WakeUp-Receiver

What is RFicient^®?

RFicient^® is the solution for wireless applications that enable a long service life with minimal maintenance. The technology continuously monitors the radio channel with ultra-low energy consumption (microwatt range) and response times in the millisecond range, which allows operation around the clock - up to 10 years without changing batteries or even completely self-sufficient via energy harvesting.
 

Who is RFicient^® suitable for?

• IoT and smart device applications
• Sensors that are to be operated for years without changing batteries
• E.g. smart home, building automation, asset tracking, etc.
   

Main advantages

• Tri-band receiver (433 / 868 / 915 MHz & 2.4 GHz) → global applicability
• Minimal energy consumption → continuous monitoring for years.
• High sensitivity → reliably detects even weak signals
• Fast reactions → immediate device activation in real time
• Versatile integration & flexible integration options→ from IP to devkits and breakout boards to the finished chip, including customized design adaptations
   

Looking to the future: Next Generation

The next generation of RFicient^® gets even better: with better energy efficiency, greater range, higher sensitivity and more robust interference tolerance for even greater reliability and performance.

• Tri-band wake-up and data reception in the 433 MHz, 868 MHz, 915 MHz and 2.4 GHz SRD frequency bands
• Selective wake-up with 16-bit ID
• Very low operating current consumption < 3.5 µA
• Response time only 32 ms
• Receive sensitivity typically -75 dBm
• Adjustable receive data rate
• SPI slave interface to the host
• Tolerates co-channel interference with bit error rates of up to 16
• Very small housing and low space requirement

• Investigation into the use of wake-up receivers for a customer-specific problem
• Estimation of the effort required to customize the IP
• Fast evaluation and integration
• ULP wake-up receiver and digital front-end (optional RISC-V subsystem)
• System/protocol design, coexistence, LPWAN options
