ZigBee® RF4CE

Microchip offers one of the smallest footprint, lowest sleep current, RF4CE compliant platforms for consumer electronic and equipment manufacturers. The ZigBee® RF4CE stack is a standard based wireless communication protocol utilizing the 2.4GHz IEEE 802.15.4 transceiver for remote controls (controller) and audio/visual equipment (target).

ZigBee® RF4CE Compliant Platform

Microchip’s ZigBee RF4CE compliant platform utilizes our nanoWatt XLP® PIC® microcontroller for low power, long battery life operation and the MRF24J40 2.4 GHz IEEE 802.15.4 compliant transceiver as the hardware platform. Together with a highly efficient RF4CE protocol stack implementation of just 16 KB, the hardware/software platform is the smallest known implementation and lowest power solution.
