GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The
LT8900
is
a
low-cost,
fully
integrated
CMOS
RF transceiver, GFSK data
modem, and packet framer, optimized for use in the 2.4
GHz ISM band. It contains transmit, receive, RF
synthesizer, and digital modem functions, with few
external components. The transmitter supports digital
power control. The receiver utilizes extensive digital
processing for excellent overall performance, even in
the presence of interference and transmitter
impairments.
The LT8900 transmits GFSK data at approximately 1
dBm output power. The low-IF receiver architecture
produces good selectivity, with sensitivity down to
approx. -87 dBm. Digital RSSI values are available to
monitor channel quality.
On-chip transmit and receive FIFO registers are
available to buffer the data transfer with MCU.
Over-the-air data rate is always 1 Mbps even
when connected to a slow, low-cost MCU.
Built-in CRC, FEC, data whitening, and automatic
retry/acknowledge are all available to simplify and
optimize performance for individual applications.
The digital baseband interface can be either 4-wire SPI
or 2-wire I2C-bus. Three additional pins are available
for optional reset and buffer control.
For extended battery life, power consumption is
minimized all key areas. A sleep mode is available to
reduce standby current consumption to just 1 uA
typ. while preserving register settings.
This product is available in RoHS compliant 24-lead
4x4 mm JEDEC standard QFN package, featuring an
exposed pad on the bottom for best RF characteristics.
Also available in bare die form.

Notes:
1.
Absolute Maximum Ratings indicate limits beyond which damage to the device may occur. Recommended operating conditions
indicate conditions for which the device is intended to be functional, but do not guarantee specific performance limits. For
guaranteed specifications and test conditions, see the Electrical Characteristics section below.
2.
These devices are electro-static sensitive. Devices should be transported and stored in anti-static containers. Equipment and
personnel contacting the devices need to be properly grounded. Cover workbenches with grounded conductive mats.

Note:
1.
The test is run at one midband frequency, typically 2460 MHz. With blocking frequency swept in 1 MHz steps, up to 24 exception
frequencies are allowed. Of these, no more than 5 shall persist with blocking signal reduced to -50dBm. For blocking
frequencies below desired receive frequency, in-band harmonics of the out-of-band blocking signal are the most frequent cause
of failure, so be sure blocking signal has adequate harmonic filtering.
In some applications, this filter may be incorporated into the antenna, or be approximated by the effective antenna bandwidth.
Transmit power measurement is corrected for insertion loss of Balun, in order to indicate the transmit power at the IC pins.
