RF4CE technology is a new RF remote control technology launched by Freescale Semiconductor. This technology can solve the interference of infrared rays by large plasma (Plasma) TVs and liquid crystal (LCD) TVs, and the problem that set-top boxes (STBs), projectors, receivers, DVD players, game boxes, and other appliances are not always in sight, with battery life up to 4 times and two-way communication.
The document provides an overview of Freescale's RF4CE wireless remote‑control technology, describing its use‑case scenarios such as overcoming infrared interference in large plasma and LCD TVs, set‑top boxes, projectors and other consumer electronics. It highlights key benefits like up to four‑fold battery life improvement and two‑way communication.
It also details the RF4CE Alliance, major adopters (Sony, Panasonic, Logitech, EchoStar), reference board designs, and the BeeKit development environment that simplifies implementation of the MC13213/SynkroRF platform. This manual is written in Chinese.
| Battery life increase | 4× |
|---|---|
| Wireless protocol | IEEE 802.15.4 MAC/PHY |
| Platform | MC13213 + SynkroRF |
RF4CE is based on the IEEE 802.15.4 MAC/PHY wireless protocol.
Sony, Panasonic, Logitech and EchoStar have integrated RF4CE into their consumer‑electronics products.
RF4CE offers up to four times longer battery life, two‑way communication, and works without line‑of‑sight.
