RF-LORA-868-SO
Overview
The RF-LORA-868-SO is a high-performance 868MHz transceiver module based on the Semtech SX1272 LoRa chip. It provides long-range spread spectrum communication with high interference immunity and a link budget of up to 157 dB. The surface-mount module is designed for low-power operation, featuring a sleep current of only 100nA while maintaining register retention.
Why Choose This Part
This module offers a constant RF output of +20 dBm regardless of supply voltage and a high sensitivity of -130 dBm for robust performance. It features a built-in RF switch and an integral impedance matching network to simplify hardware design. Engineers benefit from an 89 dB blocking immunity and a high dynamic range RSSI for reliable performance in congested spectrums.
Applications
Key Specifications
Getting Started
Interface the module with a microcontroller via SPI for configuration and data transfer. Developers can leverage the Semtech SX1272 driver libraries and LoRaWAN stacks like LoRaMAC-node to implement network connectivity. Ensure a proper 868MHz antenna is connected to the SMT pads to achieve the rated 157 dB link budget.
