General Description:
Key Product Features:
The XM1205 TrueRF transceiver module is designed to
be both cost effective and have low power consumption.
Based on the highly integrated XE1205 TrueRF chip, the
RF module has a direct digital interface for data, RSSI
output, On-Chip AFC (Automatic Frequency Control),
FEI (Frequency Error Indicator) output and antenna
Rx/Tx switch control. As with the XE1205, the XM1205
transceiver module offers the unique advantage of
narrow-band and wide-band communication.
•Direct digital interface
•Rx / Tx switch on board
•Frequency synthesizer step: 500 Hz
•Narrow band operation: 25 kHz channels
for data rates up to 4.8 kbit/s, NRZ coding.
Transmitter prefiltering to enable adjacent
channel power below - 37 dBm at 25 kHz
•Output power is programmable: up to 15 dBm
•High reception sensitivity: down to -116 dBm
at 4.8 kbit/s, -121 dBm at 1.2 kbit/s
•Data rate up to 152.3 kbit/s
•Low Power consumption: RX=14 mA;
TX=62 mA @15 dBm (typical)
•Supply voltage range from 2.4V - 3.6V
•16 byte FIFO for transmits and receives data
buffering and transfer via SPI bus.
•Incoming data pattern recognition
•Synchronized clock output
•Bit Synchronizer
•RSSI (Received Signal Strength Indicator)
•On-Chip AFC (Automatic Frequency Control)
•FEI (Frequency Error Indicator)
The XM1205 is optimized for high data rates up to 152.34
kbit/s, this without the need to modify the number or
parameters of the external components. The XM1205
is optimized for low power consumption while offering
high RF output power and exceptional receiver sensitivity.
The device is suitable for circuit applications which have
to satisfy either the European (ETSI-300 220-1) or the
North American (FCC part 15.247 and 15.249) regulatory
standards. The XM1205 transceiver module allows
straightforward evaluation or application development.

* For convenience, the XM1205 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.
