The HC210R is a low-cost sub-1 GHz transceiver designed for very low-power wireless appli- cations.
• The HC210C-R is a low-cost sub-1 GHz receiver designed for very low-power wireless appli- cations. The circuit is mainly intended for the ISM (Industrial, Scientific and Medical) and SRD (Short Range Device) frequency bands at 315, 433, 868, and 915 MHz, but can easily be programmed for operation at other frequencies in the 300-348 MHz, 387-464 MHz and 779-928 MHz bands.
• Suited for systems targeting compliance with EN 300 220 (Europe) and FCC CFR Part 15 (US).
• Suited for systems targeting compliance with the Wireless MBUS standard EN 13757-4:2005
• Support for asynchronous and synchronous serial receive/transmit mode
for backwards compatibility with existing radio communication protocols
• High sensitivity
o -116 dBm at 0.6 kBaud, 433 MHz,1% packet error rate
o -112 dBm at 1.2 kBaud, 868 MHz,1% packet error rate
• Low current consumption (14.7 mA in RX 1.2 kBaud, 868 MHz)
• Programmable output power up to 12 dBm for all supported frequencies
• Excellent receiver selectivity and blocking performance
• Programmable data rate from 0.6 to 600 kbps
• Frequency bands: 300-348 MHz, 387-464MHz and 779-928 MHz
