AT86RF233-ZUR RF/IF and RFID

• RF Transceiver ICs

A transceiver is a device capable of transmitting and receiving data in a single unit. RF transceiver ICs are integrated circuits (ICs) used to transmit and receive radio frequencies (RF) signals. RF transceiver ICs have become popular devices in a wide variety of applications from communication systems, remote controls, digital signal processing, and a myriad of wireless applications.

The AT86RF233-ZUR is a 2.4-GHz, IEEE 802.15.4 compliant, single-chip radio transceiver IC from Atmel, Inc. It is an RF transceiver IC that is designed for applications such as industrial automation, automotive, home and building automation, medical, security, LED lighting control, energy efficiency and home automation.

The AT86RF233-ZUR offers an extremely low power option and high performance for short-range wireless applications. It provides a high data rate of 250, 500 or 1000 kbps (kilo bits per second) with up to 128-byte packet length. The IC has an integrated power amplifier, providing it with high sensitivity, low power consumption and a unique capability of operating without an external power amplifier.

The AT86RF233-ZUR operates in the 2.4-GHz ISM (Industrial, Scientific and Medical) band with up to 20 dB of link budget. It can operate at any of the four available output power levels: 0, -3, -10 and -17 dBm. The IC also supports a wide range of data rate configurations, with an internal clock of 8 MHz.

The AT86RF233-ZUR is designed to minimize power consumption with an adjustable wake-up-time from 0.2us to 1.5s, enabling it to optimize its radio operation for wake-up-time and duty-cycle. It also features virtual carrier sense, which allows for transmit in the presence of interference or multiple networks. The IC also has an integrated base-band processor, an AES-128 encryption engine, a high-performance radio link and a low-power low-noise RF transceiver.

The AT86RF233-ZUR radio was designed to provide low power operation of 0.9 mA in receive mode and 7 mA in transmit mode. It can be used in a variety of applications with the fast wake-up time of 0.2 μs, low power consumption and wide range of data rate configurations. The IC supports up to six different antenna configurations and can operate in the 2.4-GHz ISM band.

The AT86RF233-ZUR has a variety of features that make it suitable for a broad range of applications. It supports address recognition, out-of-band-frequencies, auto-acknowledgment, flash memory and 10 MHz clock input. It also has ultra-low-power wake-up capability and is designed to operate with a typical power consumption of 0.01uA in the sleep state. The IC can also transmit up to 1km in a line-of-sight application and has a range of up to 500m in a dense urban environment.

The AT86RF233-ZUR is a highly flexible and programmable radio transceiver IC that can be used in a wide range of applications. It is an ideal solution for applications requiring high-performance, low-power consumption, flexibility, scalability and compatibility.
