RF Engine 200 Series Modules Overview
The RF Engine 200 Series (Model Number RF200) is an IEEE 802.15.4, low power, highly-reliable
solution to embedded wireless control and monitoring network needs that require high data rates. The
RF200 embeds Synapse’s SNAP OS, the industry’s first Internet-enabled, wireless mesh network
operating system into the Atmel ATmega128RFA1 single-chip AVR® microcontroller with an integrated
transceiver that delivers up to 2Mbits/sec. These low-cost modules can have a range of up to three miles
and 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-air
programming, while Atmel’s low-power RF single-chip design saves board space and lowers the overall
Bill of Materials and power consumption. The RF200 is approved as an FCC Part 15 unlicensed modular
transmitter. The modules provide up to 16 channels of operation in the ISM 2.4GHz frequency band. The
RF200 module contains both a power amplifier for transmission and a low noise amplifier in the receive
path for extended range.

1 Absolute maximum stress rated voltage for VCC is -0.3 to 3.6. It is recommended that bulk capacitance be located as close as possible
to the VCC pin on the host board. 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.

Mechanical Drawings
These drawings in Figure 1.2 show the module with the RPSMA connector for use with an external
antenna, and the keep out area for the F-antenna.
NOTE: The area under the module's antenna (marked NO COPPER or
KEEP OUT AREA) should have no components, no traces, and no copper on any layer of
the printed circuit board.

Board Mounting Considerations
The RF200PD1 and RF200PF1 modules are designed to mount into a receptacle (socket) on the host
board. Figure 1.3 shows an RF200PD1 module plugged in to a host board. The receptacle sockets are on
standard 2mm centers. Suggested receptacles to be used on the host are:
Thru-hole receptacle
Samtec
MMS-112-01-L-SV
Surface mount receptacle
Samtec
MMS-112-02-L-SV
It is recommended that the mounting holes provided in the module on either side of the SMA connector
be used with supporting mounting hardware to hard mount the module to either the host board or to the
enclosure to handle the mechanical stresses that can occur when an external antenna is screwed into the
SMA. Figure 1.3 shows the RF200PD1 with SMA connector mounted to the host board.
