Page 1 of 14RF Engine 200 Series Data Sheet — 430133-01C1. RF Engine 200 Series Modules OverviewThe RF Engine 200 Series (Model Number RF200) is an IEEE 802.15.4, low power, highly-reliablesolution to embedded wireless control and monitoring network needs that require high data rates. TheRF200 embeds Synapse’s SNAP OS, the industry’s first Internet-enabled, wireless mesh networkoperating system into the Atmel ATmega128RFA1 single-chip AVR® microcontroller with an integratedtransceiver that delivers up to 2Mbits/sec. These low-cost modules can have a range of up to three milesand power consumption as low as 1.6 μA to enable a new generation of battery- driven systems.SNAP’s on-board Python interpreter provides for rapid application development and over-the-airprogramming, while Atmel’s low-power RF single-chip design saves board space and lowers the overallBill of Materials and power consumption. The RF200 is approved as an FCC Part 15 unlicensed modulartransmitter. The modules provide up to 16 channels of operation in the ISM 2.4GHz frequency band. TheRF200 module contains both a power amplifier for transmission and a low noise amplifier in the receivepath for extended range.This Data Sheet details part numbers RF200PD1 and RF200PF1:• 20 GPIO and up to 7 A/D inputs• 128k flash, 58.5k free for over-the-air uploaded user apps• Two UART ports for control or transparent data which surmountsnoisy environments• Low power modes: 1.6 μA with internal timer running• Spread spectrum (DSSS) technology• Socket-able or solder-able• Up to 2 Mbps Data Rate• 2.4 GHz RF Frequency• Spread Spectrum (DSSS) technology• AES 128-bit encryption• RF200PD1: SMA antenna (3 miles LoS at 250Kbps)• RF200PF1: F-Antenna (2.5 miles LoS at 250Kbps)The RF200 is also available with a u.FL connector.

Ideally, use a single 47µF capacitor at 10V directly at the VCC pin.2 VREFH is programmable to three fixed values; 1.5V, 1.6V, and 1.8V. The default is 1.6V.3 Each differential analog input may be as high as 3.3V but the differential voltage is still limited.

Figure 1.3 shows an RF200PD1 module plugged in to a host board. The receptacle sockets are onstandard 2mm centers. Suggested receptacles to be used on the host are:Thru-hole receptacle Samtec MMS-112-01-L-SVSurface mount receptacle Samtec MMS-112-02-L-SVIt is recommended that the mounting holes provided in the module on either side of the SMA connectorbe used with supporting mounting hardware to hard mount the module to either the host board or to theenclosure to handle the mechanical stresses that can occur when an external antenna is screwed into theSMA. Figure 1.3 shows the RF200PD1 with SMA connector mounted to the host board.

Compliance with thelabeling requirements, FCC notices and antenna usage guidelines is required. In order to comply withFCC Certification requirements, the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) must fulfill the followingrequirements.1. The system integrator must place an exterior label on the outside of the final product housing theRF200 Modules. Figure 2.1 below shows the contents that must be included in this label.2. RF200 Modules may only be used with the antenna that has been tested and approved for usewith the module. Please refer to the antenna table provided in this section.OEM Labeling RequirementsNOTICE: The OEM must make sure that FCC labeling requirements are met.
