General Description |
A7325 is a high performance and low cost 2.4GHz ISM band wireless transmitter. This device integrates high efficiency power amplifier (up to 5dBm). According to Data Rate Register, on-air data rates could be configured from 2Kbps to 2Mbps. In RX site, user can choose either A7105 (2K ~ 500Kbps TRX) or A7125 (1Mbps / 2Mbps TRX) to complete a one-way wireless system. A7325 supports fast settling time (130 us) for frequency hopping system. For packet handling, A7325 has built-in 64-bytes TX FIFO (could be extended to 256 bytes) for data buffering and burst transmission, CRC for error detection, FEC for 1-bit data correction per code word, data whitening for data encryption / decryption. Those functions are very easy to use while developing a wireless system. All features are integrated in a small QFN 4X4 16 pins package. A7325’s control registers can be easily accessed via 3-wire or 4-wire SPI bus. For power saving, A7325 supports sleep mode,idle mode, standby mode. For easy-to-use, A7325 has an unique SPI command set called Strobe command that are used to control internal state machine. Based on Strobe commands via SPI bus, MCU can control everything from power saving, TX delivery, frequency hopping to auto calibrations. In addition, A7325 supports one general purpose I/O pin, GIO1, to inform MCU its status so that MCU could use either polling or interrupt scheme to do radio control. Hence, it is very easy to monitor radio transmission between MCU and A7325 because of its digital interface. |
