TLC2/RLC2

The TLC2 transmitter RLC2 receiveroffer a low power, reliable data link in an industry standard pin out and foot print. This makes the TLC2/RLC2 pair ideally suited to those low power applications where existing wideband modules have insufficient range, or where low cost multi-channel operation is needed without compromising on RF specification or regulatory requirement.
