Functional DescriptionThe TX2S is a crystal-based PLL controlled FM transmitter, type approved for European use, delivering +0dBm at 7mA. It measures 20 x 10 x 2 mm.
Pin Description- RF GROUND (pin 2): Connect to RF return path.
- RF OUT (pin 1): 50Ω RF output to the antenna.
- VCC (pin 5): +2.2V to +4V DC supply.
- GROUND (pin 3): DC supply ground.
- DATA (pin 4): DC-coupled modulation input.
Absolute Maximum Ratings- Operating temperature: -20°C to +70°C.
- Storage temperature: -40°C to +100°C.
- Vcc: -0.3V to +4.0V.
Performance Specifications- Supply voltage: 2.2V to 4.0V.
- Supply current: 6-10 mA at 3V.
- RF power: 0 to +4 dBm.
- Harmonics: -54 dBm @ <1GHz.
Power Supply RequirementsRipple/noise should be below 10mVp-p. A 10µF low-ESR capacitor and a 10Ω series resistor are recommended for stability.
Modulation RequirementsFM deviation is achieved with a TXD input of 2 to 4V amplitude.
Mounting ConsiderationsGood RF layout practice is essential. Use 50Ω microstrip line or coax for connections.
Antenna Requirements- Helical, loop, and whip antennas are recommended.
- Whip antennas offer the best range but are sensitive to ground plane effects.
Duty Cycle Requirements10% duty cycle restriction on 433.050-434.790 MHz band in most EU states.
Variants and Ordering Information- TX2S-433-40-3V: 433.92MHz.
- TX2S-434-40-3V: 434.42MHz.
- TX3S-869-40-3V: 869.85MHz.
Matching Receivers- RX2G and RX3G series for corresponding frequencies and data rates.
Legal and ComplianceComplies with R&TTE Directive. Users must ensure compliance with duty cycle requirements.
