• Temperature range of –40 ℃ to 85 ℃

• 60-pin LGA (8x8 mm) Package

Freescale will support the MC12311 platform with several software solutions:

• SMAC (Simple Media Access Controller) - This codebase provides simple communication and test apps based on drivers/PHY utilities available as source code. This environment is useful for hardware and RF debug, hardware standards certification, and developing proprietary applications.

• IEEE 802.15.4 MAC with custom PHY layer - The Freescale MAC is a robust, mature codebase useful for developing networking solutions. Freescale is implementing an IEEE 802.15.4 MAC-compatible custom sub-1 GHz PHY template that can be used across different frequency bands. This capability allows users to build powerful networking solutions on a known, stable codebase.

• Wireless MBUS stack - Freescale is porting an existing wireless MBUS codebase to the MC12311 platform which will be available through an external partner.

MC12311 開發(fā)平臺

The MC12311 development platform is a highly-integrated, cost-effective, system-in-package (SIP), sub-1GHz wireless node solution with an FSK, GFSK, MSK, or OOK modulation-capable transceiver and low-power QE32 8-bit microcontroller. The highly integrated RF transceiver operates over a wide frequency range including 315 MHz, 433 MHz, 470 MHz, 868 MHz, 915 MHz, 928 MHz, and 955 MHz in the license-free Industrial, Scientific and Medical (ISM) frequency bands.

The MC12311 development platform is built around the concept of having a single daughter card (12311-MRB) that contains the MC12311 IC and all necessary I/O connections for use as a self-contained module or for connection to an application motherboard like the TWR-RF board.
