Pin Description
General Description
The MLX71121 is a highly-integrated single-channel/dual-band RF receiver based on a double-conversion
super-heterodyne architecture. It can receive FSK and OOK modulated signals. The IC is designed for gen-
eral purpose applications for example in the European bands at 433MHz and 868MHz or for similar applica-
tions in North America or Asia, for example at 315MHz or 915MHz.
