AT86RF230-ZU Description

Short technical summary and product information.

The AT86RF230-ZU from Microchip Technology is a high-performance RF CMOS transceiver operating at 2.4 GHz, specifically designed for applications adhering to IEEE 802.15.4 standards, including ZigBee, 6LoWPAN, RF4CE, and ISM applications.

 

This transceiver boasts an industry-leading link budget of 104 dB, with programmable output power ranging from -17 dBm up to 3 dBm. Its receiver sensitivity is rated at -101 dBm. The device features ultra-low power consumption, drawing only 20 nA in sleep mode, 15.5 mA in RX mode, and 16.5 mA in TX mode at maximum power.

 

Designed for ease of use and low Bill of Materials (BoM) cost, the AT86RF230-ZU requires minimal external components, such as a crystal, capacitors, and an antenna. It communicates via a fast SPI interface, requiring only two microcontroller GPIO lines and one interrupt pin. The transceiver includes an integrated TX/RX switch, a fully integrated PLL with on-chip loop filter, and supports special IEEE 802.15.4 hardware features like FCS computation, clear channel assessment, and automatic address filtering.

 

The AT86RF230-ZU is housed in a 32-pin low-profile QFN package with an exposed pad for enhanced electrical and thermal contact. It operates within an industrial temperature range of -40°C to 85°C and is RoHS/Fully Green compliant.
