Suitable for frequency hopping systems
due to a fast
synthesizer; 75 μs settling time

Automatic Frequency
(AFC) can be used to align the frequency
synthesizer to the received signal centre
frequency

Integrated analog temperature sensor

Digital Features


Flexible support
systems; On-chip support for sync word
detection, address check, flexible packet
length, and automatic CRC handling

Efficient SPI interface; All registers can be
programmed with one "burst" transfer

Digital RSSI output

Programmable channel filter bandwidth

Programmable Carrier
indicator

Programmable Preamble Quality Indicator
(PQI) for improved protection against false
sync word detection in random noise

Support for automatic Clear Channel
Assessment (CCA) before transmitting (for
listen-before-talk systems)

Support for per-package Link Quality
Indication (LQI)

Optional automatic whitening and de-
whitening of data
settling frequency
Compensation
for packet oriented
Sense (CS)
SWRS061H

Low-Power Features


200 nA sleep mode current consumption

Fast startup time; 240 μs from sleep to RX
or TX mode (measured on EM reference
design [1] and [2])

Wake-on-radio functionality for automatic
low-power RX polling

Separate 64-byte RX and TX data FIFOs
(enables burst mode data transmission)

General


Few external components; Completely on-
chip frequency synthesizer, no external
filters or RF switch needed

Green package: RoHS compliant and no
antimony or bromine

Small size (QLP 4x4 mm package, 20
pins)

Suited for systems targeting compliance
with EN 300 220 (Europe) and FCC CFR
Part 15 (US)

Suited for systems targeting compliance
with the Wireless MBUS standard
EN 13757-4:2005

Support for
synchronous serial receive/transmit mode
for backwards compatibility with existing
radio communication protocols

1% packet error rate
o
-120 dBm at 1.2 kBaud, 915 MHz,
1% packet error rate

+20 dBm output power at 868 MHz

+27 dBm output power at 915 MHz
