Data is sent from the transceiver, at 3.3V levels, to the OEM Host via the TXD pin. Test Test Mode - When pulled logic Low before applying power or resetting, the transceiver’s serial interface is forced to 9600, 8-N-1 (8 data bits, No parity, 1 stop bit): regardless of actual EEPROM setting. The interface timeout is also set to 3 ms and the RF packet size is set to the default size for the selected RF Data Rate. To exit, the transceiver must be reset or power-cycled with Test pin logic High or disconnected. Note: Because this pin disables some modes of operation, it should not be permanently pulled Low during normal operation. UP_RESET UP_Reset provides a direct connection to the reset pin on the LT2510 microprocessor and is used to force a hard reset. For a valid reset, reset must be asserted Low for an absolute minimum of 250 ns. Command/Data When logic High, the transceiver interprets incoming serial data as transmit data to be sent to other transceivers. When logic Low, the transceiver interprets incoming serial data as command data. When logic Low, data packets from the radio will not be transmitted over the RF interface however incoming packets from other radios will still be received. RX Data Received can be disabled by enabling CMD/Data RX Disable in the EEPROM. In_Range The In Range pin will be driven low when a client radio is synchronized with a server. In Range will always be driven low on a server. In Range will transition low in approximately 12ms on a Server. For a Client the In Range will take an average of 500ms, this time is dependant on the server timing and the signal strength of the received beacon. It can vary from 150ms to over 1500ms. Hop_Frame Disabled by default and controlled by the Control 1, Bit-6 EEPROM Setting. When enabled this pin will transition logic Low at the start of a hop and transition logic High at the completion of a hop. The OEM Host is not required to monitor Hop Frame. RTS Handshaking With RTS mode disabled, the transceiver will send any received data to the OEM Host as soon as it is received. However, some OEM Hosts are not able to accept data from the transceiver all of the time. With RTS enabled, the OEM Host can prevent the transceiver from sending it data by de-asserting RTS (High). Once RTS is re-asserted (Low), the transceiver will send packets to the OEM Host as they are received. Note: Leaving RTS de-asserted for too long can cause data loss once the transceiver’s receive buffer reaches capacity. CTS Handshaking If the transceiver buffer fills up and more bytes are sent to it before the buffer can be emptied, data loss will occur. The transceiver prevents this loss by deasserting CTS High as the buffer fills up and asserting CTS Low as the buffer is emptied. CTS should be monitored by the Host device and data flow to the radio should be stopped when CTS is High. www.lairdtech.com Laird Technologies LT2510 Wireless Module THEORY OF OPERATION SERVER/CLIENT ARCHITECTURE The LT2510 utilizes a server-client network architecture to synchronize the frequency hopping. Each network must have one radio configured as a Server and all other radios configured as Clients. When a radio is configured as a Server, it will transmit a beacon at the beginning of each hop. Radios configured as Clients will default to a receive mode where they are scanning the available frequencies listening for a beacon from a Server in their network. When a Client detects the Server’s beacon, the client will synchronize to it and transition the InRange pin low. When the Server and the Client are synchronized they can begin transferring data. Each network consists of one, and only one, Server. Multiple networks can exist in the same area, provided the networks are configured on different Channels. The LT2510 utilizes an intelligent Frequency Hopping algorithm which ensures minimal interference between two networks. There is no need to synchronize the communications between the networks. The possible interference between two networks is given by the equation. Maximum number of interfering bins = #of collocated Servers -1 The LT2510 radio can be configured to hop over 43 or 79 bins, so with two Servers present they will interfere with each other once every 43 or 79 hops. With 10 collocated Servers, they will interfere a maximum of 9 out of 43 or 79 hops (presuming they are also transmitting data during each hop). ADJUSTABLE RF DATA RATE The LT2510’s RF data rate can be adjusted to provide a trade-off between throughput and range. TABLE 6: RF DATA RATE PRODUCT MODEL RF DATA RATE NUMBER OF HOPS RECEIVER SENSITIVITY THROUGHPUT1 PRM110, 111, 121, 122 280kpbs 79 -98dBm 120kpbs PRM110, 111, 112, 113, 121, 122, 123, 124 500kpbs 43 -94dBm 250kpbs PRM110, 111, 112, 113, 121, 122, 123, 124 280kpbs 43 -98dBm 120kpbs Throughput is ideal, one direction, with no retransmissions. All practical RF applications should include the need to retransmit data due to interference or less than ideal RF conditions. CE versions (50 mW) allow the 43 hop set ONLY. Deciding which RF Data Rate to choose depends on the individual application. The fast RF Data Rate will deliver much faster throughput, but will have much less range. In addition, because the lower data rate solution uses more hops, it is better situated for collocated networks. In version 1.XX and above the RF Data rate is set by the appropriate RF Profile, EEPROM Address 0xXX. A rule of thumb for RF systems is every 6dB of gain doubles the effective distance. The 4dB gain on the Receive Sensitivity for the lower data rate solution means it will be able to transmit almost 60% farther than the higher data rate solution. www.lairdtech.com Laird Technologies
