The pluggable radio module deRFarm7-15A02 features
an AT91SAM7X512 microcontroller and a Sub-GHz
transceiver AT86RF212. The module complies with the
IEEE 802.15.4 standard and can be used for ZigBee /
6LoWPAN / RF4CE or proprietary applications.
The 15A02 module has two 23 pin male connectors
(1.27 mm pitch) which give access to most functions of
the AT91SAM7X512.
The onboard coaxial jack (U.FL) allows the connection of
different antennas using standard pigtails. The transceiv-
er generates up to +10 dBm transmit power and has a
receiver sensitivity of –110 dBm giving a link budget of up
to 120 dB. A hardware 128-Bit AES encryption engine is
part of the transceiver.
The power supply range is from 3.0 VDC to 3.6 VDC with
transmit and receive currents of approx. 45 mA @
12MHz CPU clock. A current consumption of less than
250 µA can be achieved in sleep mode.
Special features of the deRFarm7 module family are the
integrated Ethernet MAC (EMAC) and the integrated
USB device port (UDP).
