XE1205 XE1205 180 MHz 1GHz Low-Power, High Link Budget Integrated UHF Transceiver GENERAL DESCRIPTION KEY PRODUCT FEATURES The XE1205 is an integrated transceiver operating in Programmable RF output power: up to +15 dBm the 433, 868 and 915 MHz license-free ISM (Industrial, High Rx sensitivity: down to -121 dBm at 1.2 kbit/s, Scientific and Medical) frequency bands it can also -116 dBm at 4.8 kbits. address other frequency bands in the 180-1000 MHz Low power: RX=14 mA TX = 62 mA 15 dBm range. Its highly integrated architecture allows for Can accommodate 300-1000 MHz frequency range minimum external components while maintaining Wide band operation: up to 304.7 kbit/s, NRZ coding design flexibility. All major RF communication Narrow band operation: 25 kHz channels for data parameters are programmable and most of them can rates up to 4.8 kbit/s, NRZ coding optional be dynamically set. The XE1205 offers the unique transmitter pre-filtering to enable adjacent channel advantage of narrow-band and wide-band power below -37 dBm at 25 kHz communication, this without the need to modify the On-chip frequency synthesizer with minimum number or parameters of the external components. frequency resolution of 500 Hz The XE1205 is optimized for low power consumption Continuous phase 2-level FSK modulation while offering high RF output power and channelized Incoming data pattern recognition operation suited for both the European (ETSI EN 300- Built-in Bit-Synchronizer for incoming data and clock 220-1) and the North American (FCC part 15) synchronization and recovery regulatory standards. TrueRF technology enables a FEI (Frequency Error Indicator) with built-in AFC low-cost external component count (elimination of the RSSI (Received Signal Strength Indicator) SAW filter) whilst still satisfying ETSI and FCC 16-byte FIFO for transmit / receive data buffering regulations. and transfer via SPI bus APPLICATIONS ORDERING INFORMATION Narrow-band and wide-band security systems Part number Temperature range Package Voice and data over an RF link (1) XE1205I074TRLF -40 C to +85 C VQFN48 Process and building control (1) TR refers to tape & reel.
