ISM-band RF modules

9 June 2010 Telecoms, Datacoms, Wireless, IoT

Radiocrafts has expanded its ISM-band product line with two new modules, the low-cost RC2500-RC232 and RC2500HP-RC232. These are multichannel RF transceivers with embedded protocol and the RC2500HP includes a range extension LNA and 100 mW PA. The new modules have numerous applications in M2M communication, sensor and control networks.

The modules are complete RF system solutions including a high performance multichannel FSK radio transceiver and a packet protocol handler, with an easy-to-use UART interface. The embedded RC232 protocol provides a point-to-multipoint solution with individual addressing or broadcast, and CRC check for signal integrity. The module can also be used as a wireless RS232/RS485 cable replacement.

The compact modules, measuring only 12,7 x 25,4 x 3,3 mm, make up a complete RF modem requiring no external components other than an antenna. They are delivered on tape and reel for efficient volume production and their small size and low power consumption make them suitable for integration into size constrained, battery operated equipment. The new modules are pin compatible with the RC11x0 series, giving customers a complete range of replaceable modules at 433, 868, 915 and 2450 MHz.

The RC2500-RC232 and RC2500HP-RC232 (set to 10 mW) are pre-certified for operation under the European radio regulations for licence-free use. When used with quarter-wave antennas, a line-of-sight range of 1000 and 3500 metres, respectively, can be achieved at low data rates. Both modules are also designed for operation under the FCC regulations.
