Do you know the part number for the zero external power transceiver? I'm having trouble finding the part you are talking about.

I think they have removed the information for time being as they are now making these in different bus interfaced ICs. It used to be called "2.4GHz Ultra-Low-Power OOK Transceiver". You can perhaps enquire with Mr. Moe using their enquiry form.

You can get more information from

I reveived communication from Product Design Engineer Howard Luce very recently about to select the bus interface as early development was not with standard bus interface. Perhaps interface will be SPI serial type. They may also make 8-bit bus interface. This IC is meant for less data transmission and to remain in sleep mode to save power most of the time, bus interface will put down all power to nA level.

Hi,

I am unable to find information on these zero power transceivers evan at Maxim HQ. Could you provide more information on it.

Thanks

Philippe

Perhaps they are keeping it closed for a while and it will be public after 6 months. Perhaps they are talking to me because I am their potential OEM user. The device has already been tested and they are only working on Interfaces of different types and perhaps data packet and data rates to save power. It is already an OOK design.
