The transceiver includes a low noise amplifier, 1.0 mW power amplifiers (PA), onboard RF

transmit/receive (T/R) switch for single port use, PLL with internal voltage controlled oscillator (VCO),

on-board power supply regulation, and full spread-spectrum encoding and decoding. The device supports

250 kbps Offset-Quadrature Phase Shift Keying (O-QPSK) data in 2.0 MHz channels with

5.0 MHz channel spacing per the 802.15.4 Standard. The SPI port and interrupt request output are used for

receive (RX) and transmit (TX) data transfer and control.

2Features

•

Recommended power supply range: 2.0 to 3.4 V

•

Fully compliant 802.15.4 Standard transceiver supports 250 kbps O-QPSK data in 5.0 MHz

channels and full spread-spectrum encode and decode

•

Operates on one of 16 selectable channels in the 2.4 GHz band

•

-1 to 0 dBm nominal output power, programmable from -27 dBm to +3 dBm typical

•

Receive sensitivity of <-91 dBm (typical) at 1% PER, 20-byte packet, much better than the

802.15.4 Standard of -85 dBm
