Transceiver module includes comms controller

Edited by the Electronicstalk editorial team May 15, 2008

Precertified to ETSI regulations, the YLX-TRM8053-025 is ideal for automated meter reading, home automation, wireless sensor networks and fleet management.

The YLX-TRM8053-025 wireless module from Y-Lynx combines a full-featured ISM-band transceiver with an ultraflexible communications controller (the LibIC).

The YLX-TRM8053-025-05 is intended for low-power wireless sensor networks with an emphasis on battery-powered (down to 2.4V) applications where outstanding battery life can be achieved if full use is made of the LibIC communications controller's power-saving modes.

It is most suited for automated meter reading (AMR), home automation, wireless sensor networks as well as fleet management.

Compact (56 x 23 x 5mm), this wireless module is precertified to ETSI regulations.

Like other members of the family, the YLX-TRM8053-025-05 offers a link budget higher than most competitors, and even under the most demanding conditions, assures a highly reliable radio communication and exceptional range (in excess of several kilometers).

The YLX-TRM8053-025-05 transmitter is capable of +14dBm output power at 3.3V and a receive sensitivity down to -114dBm at 4.8Kbit/s at 0.1% bit error rate.

The embedded LibIC communications controller enables multichannel operation for the wireless sensor network.

The Y-Lynx LibIC takes almost any low-level standard data format (UART, RS232, SPI, I2C) and handles the packet/unpacket process plus error free communication between several nodes (masters, clients, relays).

Valid data are presented to the host in any data format (RS232, USB, TCP/IP) and also in their original form.

Y-Lynx technology allows designers to employ a low-cost external microcontroller for the end-user application as there is no RF protocol stack to develop.
