Industrial radio transceiver chip

27 August 2014 Telecoms, Datacoms, Wireless, IoT

Analog Devices has unveiled a low-power radio transceiver featuring a set of configuration profiles that allow radio performance optimisation in an effort to reduce system development time. The ADF7024 is suitable for a wide range of industrial applications, including security and building automation.

Operating over short ranges in the 433 MHz, 868 MHz or 915 MHz ISM frequency bands, the device is suitable for operation under European ETSI EN300-220 and North American FCC Part 15 regulations. To support it, Analog Devices also introduced ADRadioNet, a wireless protocol stack for low-power networks, and the EVAL-ADF7024MB4Z evaluation and development platform for use with the ADF7024.

The transceiver’s low-power operation is supported by smart wake modes and fast mode transitions, in addition to several sleep modes. It provides programmable output power up to +13,5 dBm in 0,5 dB steps, receiver sensitivity of -111 dBm at 9,6 Kbps and 76 dB blocking at 10 MHz offset.
