• Manufacturer: Anaren Microwave

Page 6 of 26
Features:
The A2500R24C and A2500R24A are for low power wireless applications in the 2400MHz to
2483.5MHz global ISM/SRD band. The devices can be used to implement a variety of networks,
including; point to point, point to multipoint, peer to peer and mesh networks
The A2500R24C and A2500R24A both interface to an application microcontroller via an SPI
bus. Physical and MAC layer functionality are accessed via the SPI bus, through addressable
registers as well as execution commands. Data received or to be transmitted are also accessed
through the SPI bus and are implemented as a FIFO register (64 bytes each for Tx and Rx).
