radino40 CC1101
Hardware
The In-Circuit radino40 CC1101 combines Nordic Semiconductor's nRF52840 microcontroller with the CC1101 RF Transceiver in a small form-factor EMC-compliant module.
The Nordic Semiconductor's nRF52840 with 32-bit ARM® Cortex®-M4 CPU with FPU, 64 MHz Clock, 1Mb flash, 256 kB RAM offers great performance and Bluetooth 5 functionality. The radino40 modules are pin-to-pin compatible.
With its powerful processor and the CC1101 radio chip, the radino40 CC1101 is the perfect base for 868MHz/433MHz ISM band solutions.
