The AT86RF230 is a low-power 2.4 GHz transceiver specially designed for low cost ZigBee/IEEE802.15.4 applications. The AT86RF230 is a true SPI-to-antenna solution. All RF-critical components except the antenna, crystal and de-coupling capacitors are integrated on-chip. This single-chip radio transceiver provides a complete radio transceiver interface between the antenna and the microcontroller. It comprises the analog radio transceiver and digital demodulation including time and frequency synchronization and data buffering. The number of external components is minimized such that only an antenna, a crystal and four decoupling capacitors are required. The bidirectional differential antenna pins are used for RX and TX, so that no external antenna switch is needed.
The receiver path is based on a low-IF architecture. The channel filter consists of a single
sideband active RC resonator forming a 2 MHz band-pass filter with a Butterworth

characteristic centered at 2 MHz. Two 1st-order high-pass filters are added to the signal path to achieve capacitive coupling at the single side-band filter (SSBF) output to suppress DC offset at the limiter amplifier. The limiter amplifier provides sufficient gain to overcome the DC offset of the succeeding ADC and generates a digital RSSI signal with 3 dB granularity. The low-IF signal is sampled at 16 MHz and is applied to the baseband digital signal processor.

On the transmit side, direct VCO modulation is used. The modulation scheme is offset-QPSK (O-QPSK) with half-sine pulse shaping and 32-length block coding (spreading). This is equivalent to minimum shift keying (MSK) when transforming the spreading code sequences appropriately. The modulation signal is passed to the fractional-N PLL generating a coherent phase modulation required for O-QPSK demodulation. The frequency-modulated LO signal is fed to the power amplifier.

Two on-chip low-dropout (LDO) voltage regulators provide the internal analog and digital 1.8V supply. The SPI interface and the control registers retain their settings in SLEEP state (see section 7) when the regulators are turned off.
