BTW Rich - I saw in the chat room the comment you made about the AX5243 ONSEMI chip also being EOL.  That's an interesting chip as well...........did you note that Digikey has over 38,000 of those in stock? I wonder how compatible your AX5043 code would be with those chips?

Re part availability, I see the EOL Product Discontinuance doc. (attached) from ONSEMI.  But there is no substitute part identified in that information. The "potential" substitutes listed on the Digikey page appear to NOT be very (feature) similar to this part, but much more complex, costly and BlueTooth, IoT, etc. intended.  
However, the Newark site offers a substitute search for "RF Transceivers - Sub 2.4 GHz ISM Band" that results in several possibilities, particularly the Silicon Labs Si4464/63/61/60 family.

Alternatively, both Newark and Arrow electronics are listing their AX5043 part stock as >1000 pieces at approx. $2.80 each Qty 10, making a lifetime buy viable.

Hello Rich Gopstein,

Thank you for contacting ON Semiconductor.

There is option for PSK mode only,  configuration can be created with AX-RadioLab. You need to enter '1962' in the TX Periodic field on the main screen, and press enter. PSK mode, along with other more advanced options will be available in the PHY screen. 


If you have any further questions, please do not hesitate to contact us back.

Subject: BPSK on ax5043

Description of customer request:

I am working on software to drive an AX5043 which needs to transmit and receive BPSK. It doesn't look like AX-RadioLAB has BPSK as an option and I can't find any application notes about using BPSK on the ax5043.
