RFM12

RFM12 is a low costing ISM band FSK transceiver module implemented with unique PLL. It works signal ranges from 315/433/868/915MHZ bands. The SPI interface is used to communicate with microcontroller for parameter setting.

Features as listed on the manufactures site:

• low costing, high performance and price ratio
• tuning free during production
• PLL and zero IF technology
• fast PLL lock time
• high resolution PLL with 2.5KHz step
• high data rate (up to 115.2 kbps with internal demodulator)
• differential antenna input
• automatic antenna tuning
• Programmable TX frequency deviation (15 to 240 KHz)
• programmable receiver bandwidth (67 - 400 kHz)
• analog and digital signal strength indicater(ARSSI/DRSSI)
• AFC
• DQD
• Internal data filtering and clock recovery
• RX synchron pattern recognition
• SPI interface
• clock and reset signal output for external MCU use
• 16 bit RX Data FIFO
• Two 8 bit TX data registers
• 10MHz crystal for PLL timing
• wakeup timer
• 2.2V - 5.4V power supply
• low power consumption
• stand by current less than 0.3µA
