Product description:
The RFM12B transceiver module is a complete RF receiver and transmitter, suited for exchanging data with a data rate up to 115.2 kbit/s. The transceiver module is an efficient receiver with a high sensitivity and an efficient transmitter with high ouput power. Because of the SMD construction, the module has a very small shape.
The transceiver can be controlled directly by a microcontroller with SPI interface. This way the total hardware of the system can be limited to a minimum.
The module is available for the 433 MHz en 868 MHz ISM frequency bands used in Europe.
The module comes in six different packages: DIL, SMD1 en SMD2 and in every package the option for DIE or TSSOP (suffix: P).
There is no difference between the DIE and TSSOP version other than the TSSOP package is better suited for Reflow manufacturing.
The S1 package in TSSOP (Suffix:P) is normal stock.
* under specific conditions:
The range depends on the following parameters:
- TX power
- RX sensitivity
- Data rate
- Transmitter bandwidth
- Receiver bandwidth
- Antenna height
- Antenna type
- Radio protocol
- Etc.
