2.4-GHz RF transceiver offers low power

Suited for battery-operated wireless applications, the AT86RF233 RF transceiver is optimized for industrial and consumer products that comply with ZigBee/IEEE 802.15.4, IPv6 over low-power wireless personal area networks (6LoWPAN) and high-data-rate 2.4-GHz industrial, scientific, and medical (ISM) band applications. The device provides transceiver current consumption of 14 mA, receiver current consumption of 6 mA, and sleep current consumption of 0.02 µA.

As a highly integrated solution, the transceiver requires minimal external components. With support for antenna diversity, the AT86RF233 enhances RF performance and link reliability. Onboard Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) ensures secure wireless end-to-end communication.

The REB233SMAD-EK evaluation kit is also available with the part and includes two AT86RF233 radio evaluation boards paired with the AVR XMEGA ATxmega256A3 MCU. (Contact company for pricing — available now.)
