GENERAL DESCRIPTION

The XE1205 is an integrated transceiver operating in the 433, 868 and 915 MHz license-free ISM (Industrial, Scientific and Medical) frequency bands; it can also address other frequency bands in the 180-1000 MHz range. Its highly integrated architecture allows for minimum external components while maintaining design flexibility.

KEY PRODUCT FEATURES

• Programmable RF output power: up to +15 dBm

• High Rx sensitivity: down to -121 dBm at 1.2 kbit/s, -116 dBm at 4.8 kbits.

• Low power: RX=14 mA; TX = 62 mA @ 15 dBm

• Can accommodate 300-1000 MHz frequency range

• Wide band operation: up to 304.7 kbit/s, NRZ coding

• Narrow band operation: 25 kHz channels for data rates up to 4.8 kbit/s, NRZ coding; optional transmitter pre-filtering to enable adjacent channel power below -37 dBm at 25 kHz

• On-chip frequency synthesizer with minimum frequency resolution of 500 Hz
