Introduction

The MC13201 is a short range, low power, 2.4 GHz

Industrial, Scientific, and Medical (ISM) band

transceivers. The MC13201 contains a complete packet

802.15.4 Standard PHY (Physical) layer. This allows the

development of proprietary point-to-point and star

networks based on the 802.15.4 packet structure and

modulation format. For full 802.15.4 Standard

compliance, the MC13202 and Freescale's 802.15.4

MAC software are required.

When combined with an appropriate microcontroller

(MCU), the MC13201 provides a cost-effective solution

for short-range data links and networks. Interface with

the MCU is accomplished using a four wire serial

peripheral interface (SPI) connection and an interrupt

request output which allows for the use of a variety of

processors. The software and processor can be scaled to

fit applications ranging from simple point-to-point

systems to star networks.
