GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The XR18W753 is a low-power, single-chip RF transceiver designed to operate in license-free European 868 MHz SRD, North American / Australian 915 MHz ISM bands. Digital I/Q modulation, demodulation and direct sequence spread spectrum techniques were employed to provide robust data transmission in signal congested RF environments.
FEATURES
• 2.2 to 3.6 Volt Operation
• 868 MHz to 956 MHz
• Direct-Sequence-Spread-Spectrum Transceiver
• Direct-up-conversion I/Q modulator
• Low-IF I/Q digital receiver
• Superior blocking/desensitization performance
• RSSI / ED / LQI for clear channel assessment
• FCS computation and CRC for error detection
• Low BOM cost and ease of production
• I2C Interface to data buffer and internal registers
• Fully integrated loop filter with few external
components needed (crystal, capacitors, antenna
and matching networks)
