Analog Devices, Inc. (ADI), a leading global supplier of high-performance signal processing solutions and radio frequency integrated circuits, recently released a short-range wireless system radio designed for the global 2.4GHz ISM (Industrial, Scientific and Medical) frequency band Transceiver ADF7242. This new transceiver supports the IEEE802.15.4 standard and can implement solutions based on multiple protocols such as Zigbee(R) IPv6/6LowWPAN, ISA100.11a and WirelessHART. In addition, it provides flexible FSK mode with data rates up to 2Mbps. The ADF7242 short-range transceiver has excellent anti-interference performance, which not only improves signal quality and coverage, but also helps extend battery life. This product is suitable for many fields, including smart meters/smart grids, wireless sensor networks, building automation, industrial wireless control, wireless remote control, consumer electronics and healthcare.
Peter Real, vice president of the Linear and RF Division at Analog Devices, said: “With the rapid development of smart grid wireless meters and infrastructure around the world, and the increasing popularity of cost-effective wireless systems, the market is demanding the robust performance, low power consumption of a single RF chip. , flexibility and ease of use. Analog Devices' ADF7242 combines our expertise in high-performance RF, analog, signal processing and integration to provide a powerful solution to these needs."
About the features of the ADF7242 RF transceiver
The ADF7242 is a fully integrated, low-cost and low-power short-range transceiver with an emphasis on flexibility, ease of use and low power consumption. It incorporates a robust communications processor that simplifies system complexity, allowing engineers to use more efficient controllers. The ADF7242 provides IEEE802.15.4 and GFSK/FSK dual-mode operation, supporting both the IEEE 802.15.4 protocol standard with a data rate of 250Kbps and a proprietary protocol up to 2Mbps using the GFSK/FSK modulation scheme. Both its transmit and receive paths have industry-leading anti-interference capabilities, allowing the device to operate in the 2.4GHz frequency band, even if the interference signal strength in this frequency band exceeds the useful signal by more than 30 times. The high-sensitivity and low-power design not only significantly improves radio coverage but also extends battery life.
Analog Devices' RF IC products cover the entire RF signal chain
ADI relies on its unique design skills, system understanding and process technology to launch radio frequency (RF) IC products covering the entire RF signal chain. These products integrate industry-leading high-performance RF function modules and provide highly integrated WiMAX and short-range single-chip transceiver solutions. RF function modules include direct digital frequency synthesizer (DS), phase-locked loop synthesizer (PLL); TruPwr(TM) RF power detector and logarithmic amplifier, X-AMP(R) variable gain amplifier (VGA); power Amplifiers (PA), low noise amplifiers (LNA) and other RF amplifiers, mixers, and direct conversion modulators and demodulator products. These products are supported by numerous free design tools, making RF system development very easy.
