Designed for Short-Range Wireless Control Applications
3 V, Low Current Operation plus Sleep Mode
Characterized for Automotive Applications
High EMI Rejection Capability
Complies with Directive 2002/95/EC (RoHS)
The RX5501 hybrid receiver is ideal for short-range wireless control applications where robust operation,
small size, low power consumption and low cost are required. The RX5501 employs RFM’s amplifier-se-
quenced hybrid (ASH) architecture to achieve this unique blend of characteristics. All critical RF functions are
contained in the hybrid, simplifying and speeding design-in. The RX5501 is sensitive and stable. A wide dy-
namic range log detector provides robust performance in the presence of on-channel interference or noise.
Two stages of SAW filtering provide excellent receiver out-of-band rejection. The RX5501 generates virtually
no RF emissions, facilitating compliance with FCC Part 15 and similar regulations.
