Microcontroller based RF transmitter from Atmel
Atmel have released 8-bit microcontroller based RF transmitters aimed at transducer telemetry for 315Mhz and 433Mhz. Claimed to be the First Microcontroller-transmitter RF IC, the ATA6285/ATA6286 have provision for three sensors.
They provide ASK/FSK modulation, appear to be programmable in the same manner is existing 8 Atmel microcontrollers, and are offered in a QFN32 package. Other features such as debugWIRE are provided. The intended application is for tire pressure monitoring, though other applications appear likely. Datasheets are available here.
