Description TR-77D is a family of IQRF transceiver modules operating in the 868 MHz license free ISM (Industry, Scientific and Medical) frequency band. Its highly integrated ready-to-use design containing MCU, RF circuitry, serial EEPROM and optional on-board antenna requires no external components. SMT mounting and very small dimensions allow space saving. Ultra low power consumption fits for battery powered applications. To be applicable for fire sensors and similar applications, unwanted signals are blocked by the SAW filter, only a subset of RF channels is allowed and maximal RF power is...

TR-77D Recommended circuit for development For development, it is recommend to implement the following arrangement:  Decoupling capacitor on VCC to filter the supply voltage. The type and the value should be selected with respect to general rules observed in electronic design, according to given application hardware and power source.  Serial protective resistors on each I/O pin used.  When the Q10 and Q11 pins are used as the user I/Os or user LED indication, it must be taken into account that these pins can be affected by IQRF OS or DPA LED indication.  Pin Q12 configured as an input with...

TR-77D RF range RF range strongly depends on the following design aspects:  Hardware:  Construction of the devices (especially TR location within the device, PCB layout, ground planes, conductive areas and bulk objects such as metallic parts and batteries in the nearest surroundings, with respect to possible reflections and counterpoise effect). To achieve an efficient range and reliable connectivity, no parts impacting the range must be placed close to the built-in meander antenna. Even non-conductive parts including a mainboard PCB under the antenna can significantly impact the range.  Physical...

TR-77D Application Users have to ensure observing local provisions and restrictions relating to the use of short-range devices by software, e.g. the CEPT ERC/REC 70-03 Recommendation and subsequent amendments in EU. See IQRF video tutorial set on www.iqrf.org/videos. Assembly For proper mounting of surface mount TR-77Dx modules and avoiding damage during solder reflow assembly, the IPC/JEDEC J-STD-020C standard must be observed. The parts must be baked dry according to IPC/JEDEC J-STD-033C, MSL 4 before reflow soldering. For reflow profile and details refer to the AN010 Application note – SMT...

TR-77D Sealing In case of sealing or protecting TR modules against a harsh environment by coating, encapsulating or potting using a lacquer, gel or other filling matter, the ion cleanness of the TR modules must be less than 1 µg/cm 2 of NaCl equivalent otherwise there is a risk of corrosion. Such a surface treatment always impacts the RF range. Thus, sealing material should have the relative permeability (µr) as close to 1 within given frequency band. E.g. µr = 4 at 868 MHz decreases relative range to approx. 70%. Protecting materials, methods, accomplishments and handling must comply with general...
