They can be connected together or separated using individual supply. If VCC_PA is connected together with VCC, the max output power is reduced to +24 dB for all modules except RC1701HP that support +27 dBm at VCC_PA = 3.3 V. For all low power variant the VCC_PA pin can be left open. Quick Introduction to the RC232 embedded protocol How do I transmit data? Send your data to the RXD pin on the module. Use the UART format with settings (19200, 8, 1, N, no flow control). Up to 127 of payload bytes are buffered in the module. The module will transmit the data when

  • the max packet length is reached
  • the unique end character is sent
  • the modem timeout limit is reached The packet length, end character and timeout limit are configurable in-circuit. How do I receive data? Any received data packet with correct address and check sum will be sent on the TXD pin using the same UART format as for transmit.

©2019 Radiocrafts AS RC17xxHP-RC232 Datasheet (rev. 1.14) Page 3 of 19 Radiocrafts Embedded Wireless Solutions What about the antenna? In most cases a simple quarter wavelength wire or a PCB track will do. Connect a piece of wire to the RF pin with length corresponding to the quarter of a wavelength. For space limited products, contact Radiocrafts and we will recommend the best antenna solution for your application. How do I change the RF channel or any other parameter? To change configurable parameters, assert the CONFIG pin, and send the command string using the same serial interface as for transmitting data. Parameters can be changed permanently and stored in non-volatile memory in the module. RC232™ Embedded Protocol The module offers a buffered packet radio in the RC232™ embedded protocol. Using the buffered packet radio mode, all data to be sent is stored in the module before they are transmitted by the RF circuitry. Likewise, when data is received they are stored in the module before they are sent to the host. This allows the communication controller to add address information and to do error check of the data. In buffered mode the UART interface is used to communicate with the host. The embedded protocol, configuration commands and configuration memory is described in the RC17xxHP-RC232 User Manual. This protocol is used in a wide range of RF modules available from Radiocrafts. Please refer to the latest revision of the RC232 User Manual for feature details.

©2019 Radiocrafts AS RC17xxHP-RC232 Datasheet (rev. 1.14) Page 6 of 19 Radiocrafts Embedded Wireless Solutions Block Diagram Circuit Description The module contains a communication controller with embedded RC232 protocol software and a high performance narrow band RF transceiver. As an option the module can support a real time clock oscillator and EEPROM memory for application specific products. The communication controller handles the radio packet protocol, the UART interface and controls the RF transceiver. Data to be sent by the host is received at the RXD pin and buffered in the communication controller. The data packet is then assembled with preamble, start-of-frame delimited (SOF), address information and CRC check sums before it is transmitted on RF. The RF transceiver modulates the data to be transmitted on RF frequency, and demodulates data that are received. Digital signal processing technology is used to enhance sensitivity and selectivity. The high power front end amplifies the signal up to +27 dBm and advanced filtering topology is included to suppress harmonics and spurs. Received data are checked for correct CRC by the communication controller. If no CRC errors were detected, the data packet is sent to the host on the TXD line. The data format is configurable, and optionally an RSSI value (signal strength of received packet) can be added to the message. The asynchronous UART interface consists of RXD and TXD. Optionally CTS or RTS can be used for hardware handshake flow control. When the CONFIG pin is asserted, the module enters configuration mode and the communication controller interprets data received on the RXD pin as configuration commands. There are commands to change the radio channel, the output power, etc. Permanent changes of the configuration is also possible and are then stored in internal non - volatile memory (Flash). The supply voltage is connected to the VCC and VCC_PA pin. The module contains an internal voltage regulator for the RF transceiver and can therefore operate over a wide supply voltage range. The module can be set in Sleep mode by UART or pin commands to reduce the power consumption to a minimum.

The IDLE state is the normal state where the module search for preamble on the air and wait for a character to be received on the UART. RXD is the state when receiving characters from the host filling up the internal buffer. TX state is when the data is transmitted on the air. RX state is when data is received from the air after preamble detection. TXD is the state where the received data is sent to the host on the UART. CONFIG is the state entered by asserting the CONFIG pin and used during parameter configuration, while MEMORY CONFIG is the sub-state entered by the ‘M’ command where the configuration memory is being programmed. Note the limitation on maximum number of write cycles using the ‘M’ command, see Electrical Specifications.

©2019 Radiocrafts AS RC17xxHP-RC232 Datasheet (rev. 1.14) Page 10 of 19 Radiocrafts Embedded Wireless Solutions MCU considerations Some additional external components is needed depending on MCU output driver properties connected to the Radiocrafts module. If the RESET is driven by a push-pull output, an additional 0 ohm series resistor (R4) shall be inserted as shown in the figure, to allow an external programmer used for firmware upgrade to assert Reset low. During firmware upgrade, R4 must in this case be removed. In noisy surroundings and where RESET is not driven by a push-pull output, it is recommended to add an external pull-up on RESET using a 5k6 resistor (R3). If the pull-up is stronger the external programmer used for firmware upgrade will not be able to assert RESET low. In noisy surroundings and where RXD is not driven by a push-pull output, it is recommended to add an external pull-up on RXD using a 5k6 resistor (R3). Power Supply Noisy external circuitry may under certain scenarios affect the transmitted signal on RC1701HP- MBUS4 and precaution should be taken for EU RED conformity. Example of circuits that can generate noise on the RC1701HP-MBUS4 transmitted spectrum may be DC/DC converters and some level converters like RS232 and RS485. To increase spectrum margin it is important to add an EMI filter bead (L1) on the VCC pin of the RC1701HP-MBUS4 module. Alternatively, the

©2019 Radiocrafts AS RC17xxHP-RC232 Datasheet (rev. 1.14) Page 11 of 19 Radiocrafts Embedded Wireless Solutions RC1701HP-MBUS4 may be powered (RC_VCC) from a separate voltage regulator. This will ensure that potential switching noise is filtered out from the power supply (RC_VCC) to the RC1701HP-MBUS4. Component Manufacturer Part number EMI filter bead (L1), 1500 mA Murata Ordering code BLM18SG331TN1 Programming Interface For future firmware updates and possible custom variants it is recommended to include a 2x5 pins programming connector to the module programming pins. The connector should be a 1.27 mm pitch pin-row (same pitch in both directions), SMD or through-hole version, with the connections shown below. RXD/TXD lines is not in use for firmware upgrade, but is included on spare pins on the connector for debugging purposes.

©2019 Radiocrafts AS RC17xxHP-RC232 Datasheet (rev. 1.14) Page 12 of 19 Radiocrafts Embedded Wireless Solutions Antenna Connection The antenna should be connected to the RF pin. The RF pin is matched to 50 Ohm. If the antenna connector is placed away from the module at the motherboard, the track between the RF pin and the connector should be a 50 Ohm transmission line. On a two layer board made of FR4 the width of a microstrip transmission line should be 1.8 times the thickness of the board, assuming a dielectric constant of 4.8. The line should be run at the top of the board, and the bottom side should be a ground plane. Example: For a 1.6 mm thick FR4 board, the width of the trace on the top side should be 1.8 x 1.6 mm = 2.88 mm. The simplest antenna to use is the quarter wave whip antenna. A quarter wave whip antenna above a ground plane yields 37 Ohm impedance and a matching circuit for 50 Ohm are usually not required. A PCB antenna can be made as a copper track where the ground plane is removed on the back side. The rest of the PCB board should have a ground plane as large as possible, preferably as large as the antenna itself, to make it act as a counterweight to the antenna. If the track is shorter than a quarter of a wavelength, the antenna should be matched to 50 ohms. Regulatory Compliance Information The use of RF frequencies and maximum allowed RF power is limited by national regulations. The RC17xxHP-RC232 has been designed to comply with the RED directive 2014/53/EU when used in European license free bands. According to RED directives, it is the responsibility of Radiocrafts’ customers (i.e. RC17xxHP- RC232 end user) to check that the host product (i.e. final product) is compliant with RED essential requirements. The use of a CE marked radio module can avoid re-certification of the final product, provided that the end user respects the recommendations given by Radiocraf ts. A Declaration of Conformity is available from Radiocrafts on request. The relevant regulations are subject to change. Radiocrafts AS do not take responsibility for the validity and accuracy of the understanding of the regulations referred above. Radio crafts only guarantee that this product meets the specifications in this document. Radiocrafts is exempt from any responsibilities related to regulatory compliance. PCB Layout Recommendations The recommended layout pads for the module are shown in the figure below. All dimensions are in thousands of an inch (mil). The circle in upper left corner is an orientation mark only, and should not be a part of the copper pattern.

©2019 Radiocrafts AS RC17xxHP-RC232 Datasheet (rev. 1.14) Page 13 of 19 Radiocrafts Embedded Wireless Solutions A PCB with two or more layers and with a solid ground plane in one of the inner - or bottom layer(s) is recommended. All GND-pins of the module shall be connected to this ground plane with vias with shortest possible routing, one via per GND-pin. On the back side of the module there are several vias and pads. These vias and pads shall not be connected, and the area underneath the module should be covered with solder resist. If any routing or vias is required under the module, the routing and vias must be co vered with solder resist to prevent short circuiting to the module bottom side vias and pads. It is recommended that vias are tented. Reserved pins should be soldered to the pads but the pads must be left floating. Note that Radiocrafts technical support team is available for schematic and layout review of your design.
