Next generation battery cuts out NRE costs
Recently launched by Varta Microbattery and now in stock at Flint Distribution, the Varta Easypack is billed as the ideal solution for next generation battery requirements.
We see enormous potential interest from anyone needing a low cost, communications channel for keyless entry, remote control and other data transfer type applications".
Dave Stark, Sales and Marketing Director of EMA, manufacturer of TileWare, commented, "With its profile and expertise in the short range wireless sector, we felt that Flint Wireless was the ideal partner to take this product to potential customers in the UK.
We believe that we are offering this technology at a price point that will drive high take-up in the UK".
First release in a projected family of ultra-miniature TileWare transmitters, receivers and transceivers is EMARX100, a highly compact 315 or 433.92MHz UHF receiver tile, on a 19 x 19mm footprint incorporating a high-gain pre-amplifier and bandpass filter.
No external components need to be added to a TileWare device to implement an RF solution.
The EMARX100 front-end has excellent isolation and optimised impedance matching, which virtually eliminates spurious reverse emissions and minimises signal loss between an external antenna and the tile.
The EMARX100 offers significant performance advantages over single-chip receiver solutions.
A crystal-controlled local oscillator is used to eliminate manual setup and adjustment.
Unlike conventional pin-mounted tiles, the TileWare devices are designed to be surface-mounted onto a PCB.
The TileWare family roadmap will soon be extended to include a transceiver as well as smart receivers, transmitters and transceivers in the very near future.
