Industry’s Leading Low Power Wideband Transceiver
General Description:
Key Product Features:
The XE1203F TrueRF transceiver module is a complete
radio solution based on the highly integrated XE1203F
integrated ISM-band radio transceiver. Designed for
performance evaluation purposes, the RF module has
a direct digital interface for data, RSSI output, FEI
(Frequency Error Indicator) output and antenna Rx/Tx
switch control.
• Direct digital interface
• Minimum external component count
• Elimination of high-cost external components
(e.g. SAW-filter)
• Frequency synthesizer minimum resolution: 500Hz
• Output power programmable: up to 15dBm (typ.)
• High reception sensitivity: down to -114dBm (typ.)
• Data rate up to 153.2 kbit/s
• Low Power consumption: RX=14mA;
TX=65mA @15dBm (typ.)
• 11-bit Barker encoder/decoder for robust
transmission in the presence of interference
• Incoming data pattern recognition for receive-only
with microcontroller wake up
• Synchronized clock output
• Bit Synchronizer (data recovery)
• RSSI (Received Signal Strength Indicator)
• FEI (Frequency Error Indicator)
The XM1203F transceiver module enables high data rate
communication at rates up to 152.3 kbit/s. The module
is optimized for low power consumption in receive and
standby modes. In transmit mode typical output power
is +15 dBm without any external power amplifier.
Three frequency ranges are available to satisfy either the
European (ETSI-300 220-1) or the North American (FCC
parts 15.247 and 15.249) standards.
XM modules may also be ordered as part of a Starter
Kit, which includes a microcontroller interface and a PCbased graphical user interface to enable range testing
and more detailed product evaluation.

* For convenience, the XM1203F can be supplied through the
separate VDD and GND pins. In this case, the two supply lines
of the 20-pin connector should not be used, and the VDD1
jumper should be removed.
