Note: The exposed paddle is electrically connected to the die inside the package. It
shall be soldered to the board to ensure electrical and thermal contact and good
mechanical stability.
Typical values contained in this datasheet are based on simulations and testing. Min
and Max values will be available when the radio transceiver has been fully
characterized.
The AT86RF230 is a low-power 2.4 GHz radio transceiver especially designed for
ZigBee/IEEE 802.15.4 applications. The AT86RF230 is a true SPI-to-antenna solution.
All RF-critical components except the antenna, crystal and de-coupling capacitors are
integrated on-chip. Therefore, the AT86RF230 is particularly suitable for applications
like:
• 2.4 GHz IEEE 802.15.4 and ZigBee systems
• 6LoWPAN and RF4CE systems
• Wireless sensor networks
• Industrial control, sensing and automation (SP100, WirelessHART)
• Home and building automation
• Consumer electronics
• PC peripherals
The AT86RF230 can be operated by using an external microcontroller like ATMEL’s
AVR microcontrollers. A comprehensive software programming description can be
found in the application note AVR2009 “AT86RF230 – Software Programming Model”.
