The TN100 is a high-performance CSS transceiver with location awareness capability. It is a single-chip solution for ISM 2.45 GHz RF transceiver, with built-in ranging capability for link distance estimation. It supports modulation technique: chirp spread spectrum (CSS), FDMA support: 7 channels, 3 non-overlapping, and data rates: 2 and 1 Mbps; 500, 250 and 125 kbps. It has adjustable output power and high precision ranging capability, supports external power amplifier to increase output power. The supply voltage range is from 2.3 V to 2.7 V, and it operates in an industrial temperature range from -40°C to +85°C.
The document describes the TN100, a highly integrated mixed-signal chip developed by Nanotron Technologies and manufactured by STMicroelectronics. It features Chirp Spread Spectrum (CSS) modulation for ISM 2.45 GHz wireless communication with unique built-in ranging capabilities for location awareness applications like asset tracking.
The transceiver supports data rates up to 1 Mbps, adjustable output power from -33 dBm to 0 dBm, and receiver sensitivity of -97 dBm. It includes an integrated MAC controller, FEC, CRC checking, and various access modes including CSMA/CA, FDMA, and TDMA. The chip operates on a supply voltage range of 2.3 V to 2.7 V.
