SNAP Engine RF220SU Module OverviewThe SNAP Engine Model RF220SU is an IEEE 802.15.4, low-power,highly reliable solution for embedded wireless control and monitoringnetworks.The RF220SU embeds Synapse’s SNAP OS, the industry’s firstInternet-enabled, wireless mesh network operating system, into theAtmel ATmega128RFA1 single-chip AVR®microcontroller with anintegrated transceiver that delivers up to 2Mbits/sec. This low-costmodule can have current consumption under 390nA to enable a newgeneration of battery-driven systems.The RF220SU also includes a Skyworks SE2431L front-end module, which provides a power amplifier and LNAforincreased range.SNAP’s on-board Python interpreter provides for rapid application development and over-the-air programming. Themodules provide up to 15 channels of operation in the ISM 2.4GHz frequency band.By default, the SNAPoperating system automatically forms a mesh network with other nodes immediately onreceiving power. No further configuration is necessary. Multiple unrelated SNAPnetworks can exist within the samearea through several configuration options outlined in the SNAPUser Guide available from www.synapse-wireless.com.NOTE: Channel 15 is receive-only due to FCCpower restrictions.This data sheet covers part number RF220SU :• 20 GPIO with 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• Low power modes:• Timed Sleep Mode 1: 1.27 µA• Timed Sleep Mode 2 : 1.47 µA• Untimed Sleep Mode : < 390 nA• Spread Spectrum (DSSS) technology

It is recommended that bulk capacitance be located as close as possibleto the VCC pin on the host board. Ideally, use a single 47µF capacitor rated at 10V directly at the VCC pin.2 VREFH is programmable to three fixed values; 1.5V, 1.6V, and 1.8V. The VREFH value will be 1.6 volts if you do not explicitly adjust itby poking the ATmega128RFA1 registers.3 Each differential analog input may be as high as 3.3V but the single-ended voltage is still limited to the voltage reference.
Mechanical DrawingsRF220SUMechanical Drawing on page 7. and Block diagram showing the major subsystems comprising ModelRF220SU on page 8. are for modules with the compact F antenna and U.FL Connector options.Figure 1: RF220SUMechanical DrawingNOTE: The area under the module's antenna (marked KEEPOUTAREA)should have no components, no traces,and no copper on any layer of the printed circuit board.
Figure 2: Block diagram showing the major subsystems comprising Model RF220SUSelecting an AntennaThe RF220SU uses the RP-SMAconnector by default. If you wish to use an external U.FL antenna with yourapplication, you will need to set bit 0x0010 of NV ID 64 to 1 and reboot your node. This is a one-time change that willpersist through reboots and program changes. To revert to the RP-SMA antenna, change bit 0x0010 of NV ID 64back to 0 and reboot the node.Antenna Gain PerformanceNOTE: Antenna gain performance information is based on information from the individual companies at the timethis document's release. For added assurance, it's best to obtain antenna performance information directly fromthat antenna's manufacturer.NOTE: A u.fl to SMA cable is included for use of the u.fl port.

The system integrator must place an exterior label on the outside of the final product housing the RF220Modules. FCCLabel on page 10. shows the contents that must be included on this label.2. RF220 Modules may only be used with the antenna that has been tested and approved for use with themodule. Please refer to the antenna table provided in this section.OEM Labeling RequirementsNOTICE: The OEM must make sure that FCC labeling requirements are met. This includes a clearly visible exteriorlabel on the outside of the final product housing that displays the contents shown in FCCLabel on page 10. .MANUFACTURERSNAMEBRANDNAMEor TRADENAMEContains FCC ID: U9O-RF220SUThis device complies with Part 15 of the FCCRules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions:(1) Thisdevice may not cause harmful interferences, and (2) this device must accept any interference received, includinginterference that may cause undesired operation.Figure 5: FCCLabelFCC NoticesWARNING: The RF220 modules have been tested by the FCC for use with other products without furthercertification (as per FCC Section 2.1091). Changes or modifications to this device not expressly approved bySynapse Wireless Inc. could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.NOTICE: OEM’s must certify final end product to comply with unintentional radiators (FCC Sections 15.107 and15.109) before declaring compliance of their final product to Part 15 of the FCC Rules.
NOTICE: The RF220 modules have been certified for remote and base radio applications. If the module will be usedfor portable applications as defined by the FCC, the device must undergo SAR testing.This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 ofthe FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in aresidential installation. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy, and if not installedand used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However,there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation.If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined byturning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of thefollowing measures:• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.• Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected.• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.FCC Approved AntennasThe RF220SU modules are FCC-approved for fixed base station and mobile applications.Notice: To reduce potential radio interference to other users, the antenna type and its gain should be chosen so thatthe equivalent isotropically radiated power (EIRP) is not more than that permitted for successful communication. Thismodule has been designed to operate with the antennas listed in RF220SU Approved FCC Antennas on page 11. .The required antenna impedance is 50 ohms.Part Number Type Gain Impedance Application Min.SeparationPulse W1027 Dipole (quarter-wave RPSMA)3.2dBi 50Ω Fixed/Mobile 20 cm.HyperLinkHG2405RD-RSPDipole (quarter-wave RPSMA)5.5dBi 50Ω Fixed/Mobile 20 cm.Table 5: RF220SU Approved FCC AntennasFor more information on approved antennas, please consult the manufacturer’s website.
