SPIDER Automation STMicroelectronics STEVAL-IKR002V1D SPIRIT1 RF Daughter Board | 169 MHz
Description
SPIDER Automation STMicroelectronics STEVAL-IKR002V1D SPIRIT1 RF Daughter Board is an advanced evaluation and expansion tool built around a very low-power RF transceiver designed specifically for sub-1 GHz wireless applications. Operating primarily in the 169 MHz frequency band, it is ideally suited for wireless M-BUS standards, remote utility metering, and long-range industrial sensor networks.
The board features a programmable air data rate ranging from 1 to 500 kbps and supports flexible modulation schemes including 2-FSK, GFSK, MSK, GMSK, OOK, and ASK. With an outstanding receiver sensitivity down to -123 dBm, built-in AES 128-bit encryption for secure data links, and an automatic acknowledgment, retransmission, and timeout protocol engine, it delivers professional-grade wireless performance while maintaining exceptional energy efficiency.
Key Features
- 169 MHz Frequency Band: Tailored for sub-1 GHz wireless M-BUS applications and long-range telemetry deployment.
- Versatile Modulation Schemes: Supports 2-FSK, GFSK, MSK, GMSK, OOK, and ASK modulation formats.
- Programmable Air Data Rate: Scalable transmission speeds adjustable from 1 kbps up to 500 kbps.
- Ultra-Low Power Profile: Consumes only 9.2mA during receive (RX) and 18mA during transmit (TX) at +11dBm.
- High Receiver Sensitivity: Exceptional signal recovery capability down to -123 dBm.
- Hardware Security & Protocols: Integrated AES 128-bit encryption co-processor and automatic acknowledgment, retransmission, and timeout engine.
- Standard SPI Interface: Smooth and reliable communication link with host microcontrollers.
Benefits
- Optimized for Smart Metering: Perfectly tuned for 169 MHz European wireless M-BUS standards and long-distance propagation.
- Enhanced Battery Life: Low current draw significantly extends operational lifespan in remote, battery-powered sensor nodes.
