3. Overview
8111C–MCU Wireless–09/09
Typical values contained in this datasheet are based on simulations and testing. Min and Max
values are available when the radio transceiver has been fully characterized.
The AT86RF231 is a feature rich, low-power 2.4 GHz radio transceiver designed for industrial
and consumer ZigBee/IEEE 802.15.4, 6LoWPAN, RF4CE and high data rate 2.4 GHz ISM band
applications. The radio transceiver is a true SPI-to-antenna solution. All RF-critical components
except the antenna, crystal and de-coupling capacitors are integrated on-chip. Therefore, the
AT86RF231 is particularly suitable for applications like:
The AT86RF231 can be operated by using an external microcontroller like Atmel's AVR micro-
controllers. A comprehensive software programming description can be found in reference [6],
