AT86RF231

The AT86RF231 is a feature rich, low-power 2.4 GHz transceiver designed for industrial and consumer IEEE 802.15.4, ZigBee, 6LoWPAN and high data rate 2.4 GHz ISM band applications. The radio transceiver is a true SPI-to-antenna solution. All RF-critical components except the antenna, crystal and de-coupling capacitors are integrated on-chip.

AVR2021: AT86RF231 Antenna Diversity      (20 pages, revision B, updated 7/08)
This application note describes the usage, design, and layout of the AT86RF231 Antenna Diversity. The information provided is intended as a helping hand for hardware designers to make use of the AT86RF231 Antenna Diversity capabilities.
AVR2022: AT86RF231 - Software Programming Model      (5 pages, revision A, updated 5/08)
The AT86RF231 Software Programming Model (SWPM) provides a reference for developers utilizing the AT86RF231 radio transceiver as effective as possible.
AVR2023: AT86RF231 PCB reference design for antenna diversity      (15 pages, revision A, updated 8/08)
The AT86RF231 diversity board demonstrates the capabilities of the 802.15.4 compliant 2.4 GHz radio transceiver AT86RF231. With the high performance ATmega1281V AVR microcontroller it serves as a full function network node that is capable of hosting a MAC implementation driven by two AAA batteries for more than one year. Two ceramic chip antennas increase the link budget in a typical indoor scenario with multipath fading effects.
