AT86RF232
Overview
- High Performance RF-CMOS 2.4GHz radio transceiver targeted for IEEE® 802.15.4, ZigBee®, RF4CE, 6LoWPAN, and ISM applications
- Industry leading link budget: - Receiver sensitivity -100dBm - Programmable output power from -17dBm up to +3dBm
- Ultra-low current consumption: - SLEEP = 0.4µA - TRX_OFF = 330µA - RX_ON = 11.8mA (LISTEN) - BUSY_TX = 13.8mA (at max. transmit power)
- Ultra-low supply voltage (1.8V to 3.6V) with internal regulator
- Support for coin cell operation
- Optimized for low BoM cost and ease of production: - Few external components necessary (crystal, capacitors and antenna)
- Easy to use interface: - Registers, frame buffer and AES accessible through fast SPI - Only two microcontroller GPIO lines necessary - One interrupt pin from radio transceiver - Clock output
- Radio transceiver features: - 128-byte FIFO (SRAM) for data buffering - Fully integrated, fast settling PLL to support Frequency Hopping - Battery monitor - Fast Wake-Up time < 0.4msec
