SC-PA SERIES TRANSCEIVER MODULE DESIGN GUIDE

DESCRIPTION:

The PA version of Linx popular SC Series greatly reduces the time and

expense of making a product wireless. This is because the transceiver

module is pre-approved by the FCC when used with the appropriate

proprietary antennas.The TR-XXX-SC-PA transceiver module is

designed for the cost-effective, bi-directional transfer of wireless

information. The Transceiver utilizes an advanced synthesized

superhet architecture and has direct interface for analog or digital

information, UART-compatible data output, RSSI, low power

consumption, wide operational voltage, on-board TX/RX switch, SAW

front-end filter, and many other useful features. Fast turnaround times,

along with the support for data rates to 33.6Kbps, make the

transceiver suitable for a wide range of applications. Housed in a

compact through-hole package, the transceiver requires no tuning or

external RF components (except antenna), allowing for straightforward

application, even by engineers lacking previous RF experience.
