Introduction
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 which 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.
