RN131C/RM481

Product Overview

RN131C/RM481 is an RF transceiver IC from Microchip Technology. It provides module-level integration helps reduce RF design work while still requiring antenna and host-interface checks. It is commonly selected for embedded wireless products, sensor networks, telemetry equipment and communication modules.

For design-in, continuation sourcing or repair work, engineers should review RF matching, antenna layout, interface timing, supply filtering and firmware compatibility. The selected orderable code should also be checked for package footprint, firmware or stack support, RF band, regulatory requirements and lifecycle status before approval.
