The MC13201 is a short range, low power, 2.4 GHz
Industrial, Scientific, and Medical (ISM) band
transceivers. The MC13201 contains a complete packet
®
data modem which is compliant with the IEEE
802.15.4 Standard PHY (Physical) layer. This allows the
development of proprietary point-to-point and star
networks based on the 802.15.4 packet structure and
modulation format. For full 802.15.4 Standard
compliance, the MC13202 and Freescale's 802.15.4
MAC software are required.
When combined with an appropriate microcontroller
(MCU), the MC13201 provides a cost-effective solution
for short-range data links and networks. Interface with
the MCU is accomplished using a four wire serial
peripheral interface (SPI) connection and an interrupt
request output which allows for the use of a variety of
processors. The software and processor can be scaled to
fit applications ranging from simple point-to-point
systems to star networks.
Freescale reserves the right to change the detail specifications as may be required to permit improvements in the design of its
products.
