Introducing ERIC, the half an ic

LPRS has launched its low cost easyRadio Integrated Controller (eRIC), which is half the size and half the cost of the existing easyRadio range.

This transceiver uses system on chip (SoC) technology so an external processor is not required. The chip has been split, with half used for the easyRadio configurable settings and communication software, and the rest available for an engineers own application code.

Intended for embedded high-volume applications in the 'smart' or IoT arena, eRIC is an rf transceiver with potential uses in building and lighting control, security, home monitoring and medical products, vehicle and contents monitoring, renewable energy control and remote sensor systems.

Measuring just 20 x 15 x 5mm, eRIC offers many advanced features, including secure communications using optional AES 128 bit data encryption, received signal strength indicator and carrier detect, network ID and digital channel select.
