nanoPAN 5360, 5361 High Speed, Low Power RF Modules for the 2.45 GHz ISM Band Overview Main Features nanoNET is a high-performance and low-power network for the 2.4 GHz ISM band. It is based on Nanotron’s patented Chirp Spread Spectrum (CSS) transmission technology and provides a long range of up to 900 meters in free space and typically 60 meters indoors (@ 1 Mbps and 8 dBm output power). The network is extremely robust against disturbances such as noise and mutlipath fading. Due to its primarily analog signal processing and the robustness of the Chirp signal, nanoNET has an extremely low power consumption per successfully transmitted bit. Both Modules For easy product development and fast market entry, Nanotron Technologies provides the RF Modules nanoPAN 5360 and nanoPAN 5361. They contain the complete RF part of an nanoNET network node and provide an asymmetrical 50 Ω antenna port. The data rate is selectable between 500 kbps, 1 Mbps, and 2 Mbps. The nanoPAN RF modules are available in two versions. The nanoPAN 5360 contains an additional ISM band pass filter for an even improved robustness. The nanoPAN 5361 does not include the band pass filter, but provides a higher output power and better receiver sensitivity. Driver software, a Portable Protocol Stack (PPS), an Evaluation Kit, and a Development Kit for nanoNET are available. © Nanotron Technologies GmbH | All rights reserved Subject to change without notice.

The driver provides all functionality required to access the nanoNET TRX transceiver, such as initializing the chip and sending and receiving of data. For larger networks, our PPS is the ideal solution – it provides advanced services such as broadcasting, frame forwarding, fragmentation, and software acknowledgements between end stations. Both software products can run even on 8 bit microcontrollers. Pin Assignment Evaluation and Development Kits For an easy start into the world of Chirp transmission technology, Nanotron provides an Evaluation Kit. Just connect the RF Test Modules to the microcontroller boards, connect the boards via RS 232 to your PC or laptop, and start the software. The GUI allows you to conveniently set the RF parameters, and it demonstrates the performance of the air link in real time on your computer screen. The nanoNET Development Kit is the ideal tool to develop your own applications based on Nanotron’s nanoNET TRX Transceiver. Ordering Information Pin no. Pin no.
