    Microchip Offers Integration's EZLink(TM) Development Kit for Sub-GHz Wireless Networking

    Microchip Technology Inc., (NASDAQ:MCHP) a leading provider of microcontroller and analog semiconductors, today announced the availability of Integration Associates' EZLink(TM) Development Kit (Microchip part # TDKEZ915) for $240 on the www.microchipdirect.com e-commerce Web site. This kit augments the wireless products offered by Microchip, by providing wireless customers an option for easy sub-GHz RF modem development. The EZLink radio module contains an onboard PIC18F2520 8-bit Flash microcontroller and Integration's IA4421 EZRadio(R) transceiver.

    The EZLink Development Kit provides a complete, ready-to-use RF module solution through the industry-leading EZRadio technology. A single-chip, low-power solution, the IA4421 is a 434, 868 and 915 MHz multi-channel, Frequency-Shift Keying (FSK) transceiver that is designed to provide the industry's lowest radio BOM by using only one external component -- a crystal. The IA4421 is ideal for low-power, high-performance wireless applications such as toys, consumer electronics, automotive and building security. Additionally, the kit's two EZLink radio modules are populated with Microchip's PIC18F2520 8-bit microcontrollers, providing customers with a high-performance and low-cost whole product wireless solution.
