BC2502A/BC2502B
Sub-1GHz Low-IF FSK RF Receiver
Features
General Description
• Frequency bands
The BC2502x receiver devices adopt a fully-
integrated, low-IF FSK receiver with an automatic
gain control (AGC) function and a fully-integrated
FSK demodulator. The synthesizer is formed by an
integrated VCO and a fractional-N PLL to support the
315, 433, 868, and 915MHz frequency bands. The
devices only require a crystal and a minimum number
of passive components to fully implement a FSK
receiver. With this high level of functional integration,
these devices provide excellent solutions for low-cost,
low power wireless applications.
♦
BC2502A: 315MHz, 433MHz
♦
BC2502B: 315MHz, 433MHz,
868MHz, 915MHz
• Operating voltage range: 2.4V~5.5V
• 0.5µA deep sleep current with data retention
• Low RX current
♦
4.5mA @ 433MHz
♦
5.8mA @ 868MHz
• Supports FSK modulation
The devices achieve -112dBm sensitivity for the
433.92MHz bands. They operate from a supply
voltage of 2.4V to 5.5V and typically require 4.5mA
at 433.92MHz. There are two operation modes, one of
which is the Auto RX mode. By properly setting certain
PCB wirings, they can directly enter the RX mode. The
devices also support a sniff RX mode, where the on/
off RX mode function can be controlled by an MCU to
achieve a lower than average power consumption using
duty RX mode operation.
♦
FSK support up to 50Ksps symbol rate
• Good reception sensitivity under 0.1% BER
(BW=93.6k)
♦
-108dBm @ 25Kbps, 433MHz
• Wide RF input power range: from sensitivity to
+10dBm
• Support 2-wire I2C interface for operation
configuration
The BC2502 series offers two types of ICs. One is the
BC2502A which covers the 315 and 433MHz bands
while the BC2502B offers a choice of four frequency
bands.
• On-chip VCO and Fractional-N synthesizer with
integrated loop filter
• Supports low cost 16MHz crystal
• FCC/ETSI Compliant
• Package type: 10-pin SOP-EP
