RFM12B
General Introduction
RFM12B is a low costing ISM band transceiver module implemented with unique PLL. It works signal ranges from 433/868/915MHZ bands, comply with FCC, ETSI regulation. The SPI interface is used to communicate with microcontroller for parameter setting.
Features:
Low costing, high performance and price ratio Tuning free during production PLL and zero IF technology Fast PLL lock time High resolution PLL with 2.5 KHz step High data rate (up to 115.2 kbps with internal demodulatorwith external RC filter highest data rate is 256 kbps) Differential antenna input/output Automatic antenna tuning Programmable TX frequency deviation (from 15 to 240 KHz) Programmable receiver bandwidth (from 67 to 400 kHz) Analog and digital signal strength indicator (ARSSI/DRSSI) Automatic frequency control (AFC) Data quality detection (DQD) Internal data filtering and clock recovery RX synchron pattern recognition SPI compatible serial control interface Clock and reset signal output for external MCU use 16 bit RX Data FIFO Two 8 bit TX data registers Standard 10 MHz crystal reference Wakeup timer 2.2V 3.8V power supply Low power consumption Standby current less than 0.3uA Supports very short packets (down to 3 bytes) Tel: +86-755-82973805 Fax: +86-755-82973550 E-mail: sales@[Link] [Link]
