  • Wiki Page: AN021 Voltage Level Conversion

    Kjetil
    Texas Instruments RF-ICs operate with supply voltages lower than the old industrystandard 5V. Running at a lower voltage enables the ICs to be less expensive and have lower power consumption than they would have had if they used a 5 V supply. Also, lower operating voltages are good for battery-operated...

    Kjetil
    CC1000 and CC1010 use a PLL to generate the RF frequency. The reference frequency for the PLL is a crystal. If the reference frequency is incorrect, the RF frequency will also be incorrect. Due to the requency multiplication in the PLL, the error will be multiplied and can degrade the performance of...
