GENERAL DESCRIPTION

The
ADuCRF101
is a fully integrated, data acquisition solution
designed for low power wireless applications. It features a 12-bit
ADC, a low power ARM Cortex™-M3 processor, a 431 MHz
to 464 MHz and 862 MHz to 928 MHz RF transceiver, and
Flash/EE memory, in a 9 mm × 9 mm LFCSP package.
PLEASE SEE THE LAST PAGE FOR AN IMPORTANT
WARNING AND LEGAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS.

EVALUATION BOARD OVERVIEW

The
ADuCRF101
mini board allows a user to program, debug,
and evaluate the performance of the ADuCRF101. Its small
form factor makes it the ideal hardware for evaluation of large
wireless sensor networks.
Six kits are available, from a mini board only, to a combination
of emulator and boards.
EV-ADuCRF101MK3Z mini board for 433 MHz operation
EV-ADuCRF101MK1Z mini board for 868 MHz/915 MHz
operation
EV-ADuCRF101QSP1Z QuickStart Plus for 868 MHz/915
MHz operation
EV-ADuCRF101QSP3Z QuickStart Plus for 433 MHz
operation
EV-ADuCRF101QS1Z QuickStart for 868 MHz/915 MHz
operation
