Dev kit aids low-power ISM wireless designs

The SX1211 Development Kit is a plug-and-play RF transceiver daughterboard for use with Microchip’s PIC18 Explorer board and Explorer 16 boards for 8-, 16-, and 32-bit processors and DSCs.

The card is optimized for asynchronous sensor network designs in the unlicensed industrial, scientific, and medical (ISM) frequency bands (868 to 870 MHz and 902 to 928 MHz) where low RX power consumption is critical because the receiver is constantly waking up to sniff for signals. The board includes the SX1211 RF transceiver, an antenna, and connectors. ($82.80 — available now.)
