Overview: The RC-SPIRIT2-915 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 SPSGRFC family modules. The module is CE certified and integrates wireless connectivity without requiring extensive RF expertise.
Specifications: The module operates at a frequency of 915MHz and features a UFL connector for antenna connection. It supports a supply voltage range of 1.8 to 3.6 VDC and offers low power consumption with various programmable features accessible via an SPI interface. The mechanical dimensions are 11.5 x 13.5 x 2.5mm.
Applications: The module is suitable for low-power wireless systems, smart grid, automatic meter reading, home and building automation, wireless sensor networks, and 6LoWPAN systems.
Technical Characteristics: The module's RF power output ranges from -30.0 to +15.5 dBm, with RF sensitivity at -109 dBm for 38.4 kbps 2GFSK. It supports an operative frequency band of 915 MHz and an operative temperature range from -30.0 to +75.0°C.
Hardware Design Recommendations: Unused pins should be left floating, and all GND pins must be well grounded. The power supply line should be short and low impedance, with a decoupling capacitor near the power pins. A copper ground plane is recommended under the shielded zone of the module.
Evaluation Kit: The RC-SPIRIT2-XXX-EK is an evaluation board for the RC-SPIRIT2-XXX module, compatible with Arduino connectors and designed to work in the sub-1GHz band. It includes features like a UFL connector and a jumper for current measurement.
Software Package: The STSW-S2LP-DK is an evaluation software package for the S2-LP transceiver, providing a library with APIs and applications for RF wireless applications in the sub-1 GHz band. It includes a GUI for configuring the radio section and packet handler.
Usage Notes: When using the STMicroelectronics application with the RC-SPIRIT2-XXX-EK board, pressing "CANCEL" during a specific prompt allows continued use of the software to verify module features. Pressing "OK" may update the NUCLEO board, preventing further use with the Radiocontrolli board.
Specifications and Procedures: The document discusses the use of RadioControlli evaluation boards with NUCLEO boards. It highlights that the RadioControlli boards do not contain the secret code required by the STMicroelectronics application, necessitating a software update for compatibility. Users must contact [email protected] for the appropriate software version.
FCC Compliance and Recommendations: The equipment complies with FCC Class B digital device limits, designed to prevent harmful interference in residential installations. Users are advised to follow specific measures to mitigate interference, such as adjusting antenna positions and ensuring proper equipment separation. The device must maintain a 20cm distance from users and not be co-located with other transmitters.
OEM Integration Instructions: The document provides guidelines for OEM integrators, emphasizing the need for proper labeling and regulatory compliance. It specifies that the final product must display "Contains FCC ID: 2ANH5RCSPIRIT2-915" and that the user manual should not include instructions for module installation or removal.
Packaging Details: The packaging section outlines the dimensions of the reel and tape used for the product, providing precise measurements for manufacturing and handling purposes.
