About SmartMesh WirelessHART
SmartMesh WirelessHART products are designed for the harshest industrial environments, where low power, reliability, resilience and
scalability are key. SmartMesh WirelessHART solutions are well-suited for applications requiring WirelessHART standards compliance, as
well as a wide range of applications from renewable energy generation, such as solar and wind power, to factory machine health
monitoring and data center HVAC energy management. Smartmesh WirelessHART complies with the WirelessHART (IEC 62591)
standard, offers the lowest power consumption in its class and is the most widely used WirelessHART product available. SmartMesh
WirelessHART systems are easy for industrial automation vendors to integrate and simple for end users to deploy.
Product Descriptions – LTC5800-WHM
The LTC5800-WHM Mote-on-Chip™ combines Dust Networks’ robust sensor networking solution with Dust’s breakthrough Eterna^TM
SoC Technology in an easy-to-integrate 72-pin 10 mm x 10 mm QFN package. As part of the SmartMesh WirelessHART system, the
LTC5800-WHM enables customers to integrate a standards-based wireless network into sensors and actuators to provide scalable
bidirectional communications.
The LTC5800-WHM is designed for use in line-powered, battery-powered, or energy-scavenging sensor and actuator applications that
demand reliable performance and ultra-low power operation. With Dust Networks’ innovative IEEE 802.15.4-compliant design and
integrated power amplifier, the LTC5800-WHM enables a decade of battery life on two AA batteries, including routing motes. All motes
function as wireless routers, enabling a redundant, high performance, full-mesh topology.
The LTC5800-WHM integrates all radio circuitry components, requiring only an AC coupling capacitor and connection to an antenna for
robust wireless connectivity. To accelerate customer development time and reduce development costs, Dust Networks provides a fully
engineered RF solution, comprehensive APIs, and complete development documentation.
Key Product Features
