Basic Application Schematic
A basic application schematic of the AT86RF231 with a single-ended RF connector is shown in
Figure 5-1 on page
RF port impedance using balun B1. The capacitors C1 and C2 provide AC coupling of the RF
input to the RF port, optional capacitor C4 improves matching if required.
Figure 5-1.
The power supply decoupling capacitors (CB2, CB4) are connected to the external analog sup-
ply pin (EVDD, pin 28) and external digital supply pin (DEVDD, pin 15). Capacitors CB1 and
CB3 are bypass capacitors for the integrated analog and digital voltage regulators to ensure sta-
ble operation. All decoupling and bypass capacitors should be placed as close as possible to the
pins and should have a low-resistance and low-inductance connection to ground to achieve the
best performance.
The crystal (XTAL), the two load capacitors (CX1, CX2), and the internal circuitry connected to
pins XTAL1 and XTAL2 form the crystal oscillator. To achieve the best accuracy and stability of
the reference frequency, large parasitic capacitances should be avoided. Crystal lines should be
