XEMICS Introduces FCC Compliant XM1202
LS Research is an RF design partner and compliance facility working closely with XEMICS to provide powerful solutions for customers. XEMICS will utilise LS Research's excellent RF expertise and FCC compliance abilities to optimize the complete radio module for the XE1202. This relationship will provide customers with a robust new radio module that meets pre-FCC/CE/ETSI certification, allowing customers to reduce the design/development timeline and minimize the risks for final product certification. The three modules that will be offered are the 915MHZ module targeted for North America, which is available now, and the soon to be released 433MHZ module targeted for Asia and 868MHZ module targeted for Europe.
The XE1202 can operate in both European (868MHz - 870MHz) and North American (902MHz - 928MHz) as well as Asian frequency bands and is backwards compatible to the XE1201A transceiver operating in the 433MHz band. The programmable on-chip filters allow for dynamic switching between narrow-band and wide-band operations, without any modifications to the external RF front-end design. Tom Hoyt, VP Sales for Xemics USA states, "For many of our customers in North America, moving into the world of RF design and FCC certifications is very new, this powerful new 915MHZ design for the XE1202 is the answer to their concerns!"
The XE1202 can transmit and receive data from as low as 4.8kbps right up to 76.8kbps, RF output power can be programmed up to +15dBm (31.5mW) and the current consumption while in reception mode is 12mA. The on-chip frequency synthesizer ensures that the chip can handle multi-channel as well as frequency hopping spread-spectrum communications.
