HC210C-R

The HC210R is a low-cost sub-1 GHz transceiver designed for very low-power wireless appli- cations.

Description

 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

Support  for per-package Link Quality Indication (LQI)

   Optional automatic whitening and de- whitening of data

   200 nA sleep mode current consumption

   Fast startup time; 240 µs from sleep to RX or TX mode (measured on EM reference design [2] and[3])

   Wake-on-radio functionality for automatic low-power RX polling

            Separate 64-byte RX and TX data FIFOs(enables burst mode data transmission)
