Description

The MC13201 is a short range, low power, 2.4 GHz Industrial, Scientific, and Medical (ISM) band transceivers. The MC13201 contains a complete packet data modem which is compliant with the IEEE® 802.15.4 Standard PHY (Physical) layer. This allows the development of proprietary point-to-point and star networks based on the 802.15.4 packet structure and modulation format. For full 802.15.4 Standard compliance, the MC13202/203 and Freescale's 802.15.4 MAC software are required.

When combined with an appropriate microcontroller (MCU), the MC13201 provides a cost-effective solution for short-range data links and networks. Interface with the MCU is accomplished using a four wire serial peripheral interface (SPI) connection and an interrupt request output, MC13201 allows for the use of a variety of processors. The software and processor can be scaled to fit applications ranging from simple point-to-point systems to star networks.
