GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The SX1232 is a fully integrated ISM band transceiver
optimized for use in the (EN 300 220-1) 868 MHz band in
Europe and the (FCC Part 15) 915 MHz band in the US with
a minimum of external components. It offers a combination
of high link budget and low current consumption in all
operating modes. The 143 dB link budget is achieved by a
low noise CMOS receiver front end and up to +20 dBm of
transmit output power. A pair of internal power amplifiers are
provided permitting either fully regulated - for constant RF
performance, or direct supply connection - for optimal
efficiency. This makes SX1232 ideal for either M2M
applications powered by alkaline battery chemistries or long
battery life metering applications using Lithium battery
chemistries.
The Low-IF architecture of the SX1232 sees fast transceiver
start times and demodulation predicated towards low
modulation index and gaussian filtered spectrally efficient
modulation formats.
