Microchip Technology, Inc. Sub-GHz / 2.4GHz Transceiver and I/Q Radio AT86RF215

The AT86RF215 is a dual-band transceiver designed for sub-1GHz and 2.4GHz applications, compliant with IEEE 802.15.4-2011, IEEE 802.15.4g-2012, and ETSI TS 102 887-1 standards. It operates across multiple frequency bands, including European, North American, Chinese, Korean, and Japanese bands, with a frequency range of 389.5-510MHz, 779-1020MHz, and 2400-2483.5MHz. The device features a 13-bit I/Q data interface with a sampling frequency of up to 4MHz and supports various modulation schemes, including MR-FSK, MR-OFDM, and MR-O-QPSK, allowing for flexible data rates. The AT86RF215 enables simultaneous operation in both frequency bands, making it suitable for applications such as smart metering and industrial automation. It includes integrated components like a TX/RX switch, LNA, and PLL loop filter, which reduce the need for external components. The device offers a maximum TX output power of 14.5dBm at 900MHz and a receiver sensitivity down to -123dBm at 6.25kb/s. It operates with a supply voltage of 1.8V to 3.6V and features low power consumption modes, making it efficient for battery-operated devices. The AT86RF215 is housed in a 48-pin low-profile lead-free plastic QFN package and is rated for an industrial temperature range of -40¬8C to +85¬8C.
