GENERAL DESCRIPTION

The XE1203 is a single chip transceiver operating in the 868 and 915MHz license-free ISM (Industry Scientific and Medical) frequency bands. Its highly integrated architecture allows for minimum external components while maintaining design flexibility. All major RF communication parameters are programmable and most of them can be dynamically set.

KEY PRODUCT FEATURES

• RF output power: up to +15dBm on a 50 Ω load (typical)

• High reception sensitivity: down to –113 dBm (typical)

• Low power consumption: RX = 14mA; TX = 62 mA @15dBm (typical)

• Supply voltage down to 2.4V

• Data rate from 1.2 to 152.3kbps, NRZ coding

• Konnex-compatible operation mode

• 11-bit Barker encoder/decoder

• On-chip frequency synthesizer with steps of 500Hz

• Continuous phase 2-level FSK modulation

• Received data pattern recognition (for wakeup)

• Bit-Synchronizer for incoming data/clock synchronization and recovery

• RSSI (Received Signal Strength Indicator)

• FEI (Frequency Error Indicator)

APPLICATIONS

• Automated Meter Reading (AMR)

• Home Automation and Access Control

• High-Quality Speech, Music and Data over RF

• Applications requiring Konnex-compatibility
