SX1235 WIRELESS & SENSING DATASHEET SX1235 Transceiver EN300 220 Category 1 Compliant Transceiver GENERAL DESCRIPTION KEY PRODUCT FEATURES The SX1235 is a highly integrated RF transceiver optimized High sensitivity: down to -123 dBm at 1.2 kbps for operation compliant with ETSI EN 300 220 receiver High selectivity: 60 dB typ. ACR category 1. In conjunction with an external SAW filter the High linearity: 50 dB typ. of adjacent channel saturation SX1235 is designed to pass the category 1 testing with 80 dB Blocking immunity, 100 dB with SAW substantial regulatory margin, simplifying end-user production test requirements. The SX1235 retains the Image rejection of over 45 dB highly integrated architecture of the SX123x family, Low current: Rx = 9.3 mA, 100nA register retention minimizing external components while delivering the highest Programmable output power +20 dBm in 1 dB steps level of performance. For hybrid systems with non category 1 elements within an alarm system the SX1235 Optional high efficiency or fully regulated PA connections for reliable M2M performance and optimal battery offers the advantage of programmable narrow-band and lifetime wide-band communication modes without the need tomodify Voltage operation from 1.8 to 3.7 V external components. This makes the SX1235 suitable for integrated home automation, security and alarm systems Narrowband integrated synthesizer with a resolution of 61 Hz that require legacy compatibility. FSK, GFSK, MSK, GMSK and OOK modulation APPLICATIONS Automated, fast frequency correction & timing recovery Over 115 dB Dynamic Range RSSI Category 1 Social Alarm Systems Packet engine with CRC 64 byte FIFO Category 1 Fire, Smoke and Toxic Gas Detection Preamble and RSSI based channel activity detection Category 1 Lone Worker Systems Home and Building Automation ORDERING INFORMATION Wireless Alarm and Security Systems Industrial Monitoring and Control MOQ / Part Number Package Delivery Multiple MARKETS SX1235IMLTRT QFN24 Tape & 3000 pieces Optimised for the EN 300-220-1 Category 1 Reel North America: FCC Part 15 and Japan: ARIB T-108 Rev 1 - December 2012 Page 1 www.semtech.comSX1235 WIRELESS & SENSING DATASHEET Table of contents Section Page 1.
