Wurth Electronics’ AMB2524 is a compact and low-cost radio data transmission module for wireless half-duplex communication. The integrated microprocessor controls data communication, handling packet and checksum formation, addressing, monitoring of channel access, and resending not received packets. The host system does not have to perform any radio-specific tasks. The module can be configured in many ways and supports data transfer with fast channel and address switching.
Measured field strength or RSSI value offers the option of enhancing the quality of the radio link. The graphical user interface (GUI) for the freely available Windows application AMBER-ACC makes it easy to set operating parameters. A USB adapter is available to easily connect the AMB2524 to any PC system or data terminal.
The AMB8420 provides pin-compatible SRD module for the 868 MHz frequency range. Wurth Electronics also provides design-in services and customer-specific solutions based on the AMB2524.
Interfaces
The AMB2524 is connected to a host system via the UART interface with bit rates of up to 115.2 kBaud. Other pins can be used for data flow control and to switch between operating modes. Serial peripheral interface (SPI) is optional. Using appropriate firmware, the module is also suitable for autonomously recording digital or analog signals.
