Raltron Electronics Corp. has claimed the industry’s first passive component LoRa Development Kit to make it easier to design IoT projects. The development kit consists of five different product families with a total of 60 passive components, including crystals, filters, and antennas. All of these devices are commonly used in product development based on the LoRa protocol and meet LoRa protocol requirements in Asia, Europe, and North America, said Raltron.
The passive components are designed to work with LoRa ICs from Semtech, Microchip, and STMicro. They were specifically selected to speed design for use in multiple markets based on available license-free radio bands.
The LoRa Development Kit includes three different-sized 32.000-MHz crystals that meet the frequency, thermal, and performance requirements of the LoRa protocol. The kit also supplies 32-MHz and 52-MHz temperature compensated crystal oscillators (TCXOs). The crystals offer low-G sensitivity and can be used in harsh environmental conditions such as acceleration forces.
To meet different regional LoRa frequency bands in Asia, Europe, and North America, the kit also includes 433-MHz, 868-MHz, and 915-MHz SAW filters as well as three different-sized stub antennas in the same frequencies. Also in the kit are 868-MHz and 915-MHz ceramic filters. The kit includes a memory stick with product specifications for each component.
The LoRa development kit is available for $99 each at authorized distributors including Dove Electronics and Arrow Electronics .
