　　The AT86RF230 is a low-power 2.4 GHz radio transceiver especially designed for ZigBee/IEEE 802.15.4 applications. The AT86RF230 is a true SPI-to-antenna solution. All RF-critical components except the antenna, crystal and de-coupling capacitors are integrated on-chip. Therefore, the AT86RF230 is particularly suitable for applications like:

　　• 2.4 GHz IEEE 802.15.4 and ZigBee systems

　　• 6LoWPAN and RF4CE systems

　　• Wireless sensor networks

　　• Industrial control, sensing and automation (SP100, WirelessHART)

　　• Home and building automation

　　• Consumer electronics

　　• PC peripherals

　　The AT86RF230 can be operated by using an external microcontroller like ATMEL’s AVR microcontrollers. A comprehensive software programming description can be found in the application note AVR2009 “AT86RF230 – Software Programming Model”.

　　This single-chip radio transceiver provides a complete radio transceiver interface between the antenna and the microcontroller. It comprises the analog radio transceiver and the digital demodulation including time and frequency synchronization, and data buffering. The number of external components is minimized such that only an antenna, a crystal and four decoupling capacitors are required. The bidirectional differential antenna pins are used for transmission and reception, so that no external antenna switch is needed.

　　The received RF signal at pins RFN and RFP is differentially fed through the low-noise amplifier (LNA) to the RF filter (PPF) to generate a complex signal. This signal is converted down by mixers to an intermediate frequency and fed to the integrated channel filter (SSBF). The limiting amplifier provides sufficient gain to drive the succeeding analog-to-digital converter (ADC) and generates a digital RSSI signal with 3 dB granularity. The ADC output signal is sampled by the digital base band receiver (RX BBP).

　　The transmit modulation scheme is offset-QPSK (O-QPSK) with half-sine pulse shaping and 32-length block coding (spreading) according to [1]. The modulation signal is generated in the digital transmitter (TX BBP) and applied to the fractional-N frequency synthesis (PLL) generating a coherent phase modulation required for demodulation of O-QPSK signals. The frequency-modulated RF signal is fed to the power amplifier (PA).An internal 128 byte RAM for RX and TX (Frame Buffer) buffers the data to be transmitted or the received data. Two on chip low dropout (LDO) voltage regulators provide the internal analog and digital 1.8V supply.
