RC-SPIRIT2-433

Product catalog summary
Overview: The RC-SPIRIT2-XXX is a sub-1GHz programmable transceiver module based on the STMicroelectronics S2-LP transceiver. It is designed for high performance in a compact form factor and is pin-to-pin compatible with the SPSGRF family modules. The module is CE certified and integrates wireless connectivity without requiring extensive RF expertise.
Specifications: The module operates at frequencies of 433MHz and 868MHz, with options for antenna connection via UFL connector or pad. It features low power consumption, with supply voltage ranging from 1.8V to 3.6V. The RF power output can reach up to +15.5 dBm in boost mode, and it supports various data rates with high sensitivity.
Pin Configuration: The module includes 14 pins, with key pins for SPI communication (MOSI, MISO, CLK, CS), power supply (VCC, GND), and general-purpose I/O (GPIO-0 to GPIO-3). The shutdown (SDN) pin is used to control the module's power state.
Mechanical and Design Recommendations: The module measures 11.5 x 13.5 x 2.5mm and includes a metal shield. Recommended hardware design includes leaving unused pins floating, ensuring a well-grounded GND, and avoiding traces under the module. A copper ground plane is advised under the shielded zone, with copper-free areas around the antenna.
Evaluation Kit: The RC-SPIRIT2-XXX-EK is an evaluation board for the module, compatible with Arduino connectors and Nucleo evaluation boards. It allows for current measurement and is used with the STSW-S2LP-DK software package for development and testing.
Software Package: The STSW-S2LP-DK provides a library and GUI for configuring the S2-LP transceiver, supporting operation in ISM and SRD bands. It includes APIs and demonstration applications for various features.
Usage Notes: The latest software version (1.3.1 and above) works seamlessly with the STEVAL board, and specific instructions are provided for using the RC-SPIRIT2-XXX-EK board.
Specifications and Compatibility: The document highlights that the RadioControlli module can be verified using specific software. However, users are advised to press 'CANCEL' to utilize the STMicroelectronics application for the RC-S2LP-XXX module. If 'OK' is selected, the NUCLEO board will update, making it incompatible with the RadioControlli board, though it remains compatible with the STEVAL board due to a secret code in its EEPROM.
Procedures: To revert to using the RadioControlli module, users must update the NUCLEO board with a different software version provided by RadioControlli. This update is necessary for both NUCLEO L0 and L1 boards to work with the RadioControlli evaluation boards, as these boards lack the EEPROM with the secret code required by the STMicroelectronics application.
Contact Information: For obtaining the necessary software version for NUCLEO boards, users should contact [email protected].
Disclaimer: Radiocontrolli s.r.l disclaims responsibility for improper use of devices and potential inaccuracies in data, reserving the right to modify information without notice.
Packaging Details: The document includes specifications for packaging, detailing reel and tape dimensions with precise measurements and tolerances.

Recommended Hardware design 1) Hardware All unused pins should be left floating; do not ground. All GND pins must be well grounded. Traces should not be routed underneath the module. 2) Power Supply The transceiver module must be powered from a regulated voltage. It is recommended to keep the power supply line for VCC as short and low impedence as possible. Near the power pins it is recommended to insert a ceramic the decoupling capacitor (100nF). 3) Ground Plane It is recommended to have a copper ground plane under the shielded zone of the module. The ground plane should be unbroken. Shield...
