The 802.15.4 Transceiver core supports the PHY layer for a range of wireless PAN standards including Zigbee®, 6LoWPAN, RF4CE and other ISM band applications. The IQ architecture integrates all of the required Radio functions incorporating the complete Rx, Tx and synthesizer subsystems in a 180nm RF CMOS IP core.
An integrated FRAC-N synthesizer can be configured for a wide range of low cost crystal frequencies from 10MHz-52MHz and provides a reference clock output for ease of integration in System On Chip (SoC) applications.
A Flexible Radio Interface that can be optimized for embedded SoC applications.
